bush was inducted into some sort of National Guard "Hall of Fame ..... and our "liberal media" did not
say one thing about how inappropriate it was and is to have a man who failed to fulfill his military contract
by going AWOL and then years later having thousands of National Guard's Men killed or wounded in an unneeded
war to receive such an honor.

2. What's the statue wearing, a Peter Pan costume?

...and how chilling is it that they left the date for the end
of W's reign blank?

[CrazyOrangeCat]

3. yeah . . .

. . . the date thing creeps me out.

:scared:

[B Calm]

4. Maybe they left the end date off in case he's impeached!

6. Stephanie Miller mentioned this

to John Kerry in an interview. His reaction is pretty good.

I think this link works. The part about the statue is about four minutes in.

7. Thanks for the flashback.

Sen. Kerry apparently hadn't heard about the statue, and his reaction to Stephanie telling him about it is priceless. (Too bad the man doesn't have a sense of humor. :crazy: )

9. It's one of my favorite interviews

The entire interview is worth a listen. He explains a lot, about the IWR vote, about Ohio.
Steph is a really great interviewer. She knows how to mix serious discussion with a bit of fun.

8. If I've said this once, I've said it.....

...a million times: show us your flight records, Little Monkey. Not your training records, not your medical, your flight records.....

Mysteriously absent they are.

10. Another free pass from the media.

Thou dare not question the president's military service. Dan Rather learned the hard way.
