1. Here is the Transcripted Heroism!

<snip>
Q Why do you keep linking Iraq and 9/11 and so forth? Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, and you keep -- we started the war in Iraq. We brought the terrorists in, so-called.

MR. McCLELLAN: I think that's a misunderstanding of --

Q -- and 20 to 50 people are dying every day in Iraq.

MR. McCLELLAN: I think, one, that's a misunderstanding of the global war on terrorism that we are engaged in --

Q We invaded.

MR. McCLELLAN: Some people take a narrow view of the war on terrorism. The President recognizes --

Q Innocent Iraqis are paying the price.

MR. McCLELLAN: The President -- well, first of all, the Iraqi people, we have heard from many of them who have expressed their appreciation for the removal of a brutal and oppressive regime --

Q Many are dead. Thousands are dead.

MR. McCLELLAN: Second of all, Zawahiri, bin Laden's number two leader, has talked about how Iraq is the central front in the war on terrorism. We know that the terrorists want to create a safe haven from which they can plan and plot attacks. The stakes are high in Iraq. And that's why it's critical that we prevail in Iraq, because it will be a major blow to the ambitions of the terrorists. They don't want us in the Middle East. The Middle East is a dangerous region of the world. It has been a breeding ground for terrorism, a breeding ground where people are --

Q They don't want a foreigner in their country.

MR. McCLELLAN: -- planes into buildings and attacked innocent civilians across the world. And that's why it's so critical that we prevail in Iraq, as well. And we will. And the Iraqi people no longer live under a brutal, oppressive regime, a regime that was responsible for the systematic torture and killing of people who simply spoke out against that regime.

[upi402]

25. Why can't the Hairdo's on TV now be like that?

26. Gannon/Guckert visited Scotty in the WH hundreds of times

and at regular times. I wonder if Scotty Potty tipped him for that extra saucy *gourmet* service...

Well Gannon?gunkhole DID go there a lot and at regular times. I wonder if anyone has FOIA'd the WH visitor logs to see who was in...
and who was out...
when Gannon?gunkhole came to visit.

8. She is one of a kind...

Tough, smart, and gutsy.
I love this part of Scotty's answer...
MR. McCLELLAN: Second of all, Zawahiri, bin Laden's number two leader, has talked about how Iraq is the central front in the war on terrorism. We know that the terrorists want to create a safe haven from which they can plan and plot attacks.

I guess he forgot to add....that's one of the reasons why we invaded Iraq. We've now given them a safe haven. Saddam wouldn't have ever allowed it!
Does he even hear what he says?
He's such an idiot.

17. I think that she loves doing it.

Even through her frustration, which I am certain many of us could not bear, I see in her a sense of omnipotent purpose and worth in her journalistic quest!

I pray that there are more like her coming down the road very, very soon.

[Radio_Lady]

19. Here we are, at Crones Unlimited --

Unfortunately, signature lines are turned off... boo-hoo.

Substituting Helen for me!

[Straight Shooter]

28. Finally, a woman who wears pearls draped in successive layers.

Instead of wrapped around her neck like a baroque leash.
