Going to talk about the president's trip and the response to Hurricane Katrina.

4. Scotty screwed up and called people |
|
"people"
He then corrected himself and called them customers.
We do not live in a society; we live in an economy. We are no longer people; we are consumers.

6. Helen asks if the president has issued any executive orders |
|
against torture. Scotty is dancing, but Helen won't let him off the hook.
Of course, the answer is he has NEVER issued an executive order banning torture...
As for Delay: "we're going to let the legal process work"
Terry asks if there is a "stench of corruption surrounding the Republican Party"
Wow, the press is back...

13. The audio on the White House feed sucks |
|
Can't hear reporters nearly as well. Scotty still dodging the Katrina question. Says the "fog of war" is clearing. :eyes: Says the media has to look at what we "thought was true at the time but which wasn't true"
Like those dead bodies floating in the streets..those weren't real?

Envisions a peaceful world, as we had with democracy in Europe and Japan after WW2. Shall we ask the eastern europeans about that democracy?

33. Final comment from the podium: We can expect more violence |

as the Iraqis move forward strengthening their freedom and democracy.
If freedom and democracy are getting stronger, shouldn't there be LESS violence? If the amount of violence increases as freedom and democracy get stronger, why would we want it to get stronger?

41. more coruption under Bush. |

This is for everyone who wants to know the TRUTH.
Please go to justacitizen.com and sign the petition requesting our government/Bush Admin to release the DOJ-IG Report.
"Sibel Edmonds" The most gagged person in America.
www.justacitizen.com/
The ACLU is also asking the Supreme Court to reverse the D.C. appeals court's decision to exclude the press and public from the court hearing of Edmonds' case in April. The appeals court closed the hearing at the eleventh hour without any specific findings that secrecy was necessary. In fact, the government had agreed to argue the case in public. A media consortium that included The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN intervened in the case to object to the closure.
Edmonds, a former Middle Eastern language specialist hired by the FBI shortly after 9/11, was fired in 2002 and filed a lawsuit later that year challenging the retaliatory dismissal.
It is way past time for a little bit of critical thinking. The Attorney General cites two reasons to justify the unconstitutional and panic driven assault.
Reason one: To protect certain diplomatic relations - not named since obviously our officials are ashamed of admitting to these relations.
Reason two: To protect certain U.S. foreign business relations. Let’s take each one and dissect it (I have given up on our mass media to do that for us!) For reason one, since when is the Department of Justice, the FBI, in the business of protecting ‘US sensitive diplomatic relations?’ They appear to be acting as a mouthpiece for the Department of State. Now, that’s one entity that has strong reasons to cover up, for its own self, what will end up being a blunder of mammoth scale. Not internationally; not really; it is the American people and their outrage they must be worried about; they wouldn’t want to have a few of their widely recognized officials being held criminally liable; would they?
I am doing all I can to get Sibel story out for, "us" The American Peaple.
The truth will set us free!!!!

42. MSNBC just replayed the "stench of corruption" clip |

Nora O'Donnell points out that Scotty acknowledged that there were "individual" examples.
Nora is now listing them for us.
Frist... Delay's problem with Abromoff... Abramoff being indicted... Safavian being indicted...
Plus the "political cronyism"
"They will use it to hammer the GOP in the 2006 elections" She even knew to put emphasis on 'hammer' because of Tom's nickname. Good job, Nora...
