Dirty Bombs in 7 Football Stadiums: Trying to Distract OLBERMAN

[McCamy Taylor]

CNN's Wolf Blitzer was at it again, I hear. Everyday he has some breaking news designed to help the White House and the GOP. Today's story was that the Office of Homeland Security does not really think it is going to happen but it could not resist sharing this juicy piece of gossip about FOOTBALL and TERRA as in Dirty Bombs in 7 Football Stadiums this weekend.

Here is the link:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/18/football.threats/index.html

"The Department of Homeland Security has sent an advisory to the National Football League and local officials advising of a possible, uncorroborated bomb threat against some NFL stadiums.

"The threat, posted on a Web site, alleges that dirty bombs could be used this weekend against seven stadiums -- in Miami, New York, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland and Cleveland. The bombs were to be delivered by truck, the posting said.

"DHS said the posting is not considered credible and the information was being shared only in an abundance of caution so that league officials and others could determine what steps they want to take.

"Homeland Security officials said people should still go about their plans and not avoid stadiums."


Now, we all know that Olberman is scheduled to give one of his Special Reports on the New Alien and Sedition Act tonight. How clever it would be if the administration could get him to report on a Terra threat the same night he trash talks W.'s newest shiniest weapon in the fight against Terra. What does Keith like? He likes stories about sports.

So Sports + Terra = One of the Five Spots on Countdown?

I think that is what someone at the Office of Homeland Insecurity is hoping....

:nuke:

Fear. It is good for what ails the GOP.

You can keep your Terra warnings. What part of "Home of the brave" don't you understand?

"Al Qaeda suitcase nuclear bomb and/or dirty nuclear bomb "intercepted" crossing the Mexican border. Dick Cheney will describe the contents as being both from Sadaam's secret stash of WMDs and from Iran---in the same Fox News program."


I didnt get the football stadium part, but in a strange act of precognition I entitled the thread "October Surprise Football Pool". My crystal ball is smoking!

One of the right-wing flying assholes on the radio predicted a "Nascar jihad" if the nuke thing actually happens. As if.

19. Even Homeland Scurity can't really make this sound real

But they were clearly happy to toss it out there if they think it will get some more Repug votes in line.
