[Stephanie]

16. good picture of pigboy

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

24. Two words for this scumbag: "Lee Atwater."

Can't elaborate or I'll get the thread locked.

Lee Atwater.

:patriot:

[serryjw]

orange...Am I living thru a bad movie?

[Vektor]

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[JuniperLea]

67. Around my house

We are bringing back the phrase, "That's the bomb!" along with lots of mention of Bush, terra, 9/11 and constant reminders to never, ever mention project x on the phone!

:p

[acmavm]

2. Surprise, surprise. n/t

[Little Star]

3. Is the Russell Building a democratic building? n/t

[LittleClarkie]

4. It must be. Both Kerry's and Feingold's offices are there

I know.

Thrillsville.

[Little Star]

8. Joe Henry said there were

8 senators and 200 staffers being held there in the parking garage. They think that some of them have been exposed.

[Maddy McCall]

Not just Democratic.

Look at this:

[Little Star]

19. Thanks n/t

[seabeyond]

83. next ?... did repugs just happen to get a shot two weeks ago n/t

[hang a left]

59. No way???

Shot over the bow?? Wasn't Feingold's speech on the Senate floor today??

[FreedomAngel82]

81. Earlier my mom had it on CNN and Zann

mentioned Chuck Hagel and some other republicans. Of course she didn't mention ANY democrats. :eyes:

[Withywindle]

17. It's mixed...

they don't divide the office buildings by party.

[moondust]

Illegal wiretaps would have prevented this.

:sarcasm:

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. As would have invading Iran years ago! *pounding fist into hand*

[TheModernTerrorist]

103. no, they did this

so they could get IN there and tap and "retrieve" (aka- steal) the info they wanted. Maybe someone had damning info on the admin.

[wryter2000]

5. Cafferty needs to get on this one

He just slapped Wolf around for defending Boehner, but he can walk and chew gum at one time.

Wolf video www.crooksandliars.com

[spanone]

6. First test - positive. Second test - negative. Now doing third test.

CNN report due in about one half hour. Some senators 'quarantined'. Hagel, Thune, others.

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. Some how the idea of a bunch

of US Senators quarantined is just too funny.

I wonder how long it would take them to all kill each other?

[Maddy McCall]

7. Info on the Russell building here.

Today 36 senators and 5 committees occupy space in the Russell Building, which in 1958 housed 96 senators and 10 committees.

http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/visiting/d_three_sections_with_teasers/russel_senate_office_map_page.htm

[TallahasseeGrannie]

11. Link, please?

I don't see anything about it yet online.

[Maddy McCall]

14. Turn to CNN

[spooky3]

27. there's nothing on the local channels here in DC

[Stephanie]

12. They evacuated a building across the street from Grand Central on Monday

"Suspicious package" - hundreds of cops, Park Avenue blocked off. Turned out to be nothing. A gym bag.

[Wordie]

13. Will know more about test results in 30-40 minutes. Even the CNN

reporter is not allowed to leave the parking garage, for fear of spreading a toxin, if the tests are postitive.

Jeez.

[EC]

15. Feingold and Kerry

better have their offices swept for bugs when they get back in...

[jenndar]

39. LOL, true enough. n/t

[Wordie]

18. Please RECOMMEND this thread. If it gets on the greatest page, lots of

other DUers will be able to know about this.

[TheDebbieDee]

20. I wonder which one of the sick bastards in the * admin

is responsible for THIS domestic terrorist attack?

[Wordie]

21. 200 staffers; 8 senators evacuated to parking garage. eom

[omega minimo]

22. So the problem isn't a lack of "balls"?

:evilfrown:

[elehhhhna]

23. Why attack the OPPOSITION party? Hmmm. Who benefits?

[DoYouEverWonder]

28. Wasn't Rove issuing threats a couple of days ago

Wasn't he blackmailing people if they didn't stand behind Bush on the surveillance issue?

[SillyGoose]

33. Oops..responded to wrong post. Sorry.

[Little Star]

25. K&R

[spooky3]

30. Keith O on MSNBC is reporting now

[spooky3]

32. he says tests are inconclusive as to whether any "agents" (bad chemicals)

have been found.

[Wordie]

31. The sensor that went off was apparently in the attic. They are now

cleaning out the filters and will then run the third test. No sign of medical problems among any of the staffers or senators.

[NJ Democrats]

34. Holy Crap!!!

[Coastie for Truth]

35. But - what did NSA learn and when did NSA learn it.

Were they able to translate it.
Did they tell the FBI and the Executive Protection Service.

[burythehatchet]

36. protect me Dear Leader

please make me safe. Scumbag.

[ProSense]

37. All that illegal surveillance and Capitol Hill gets attacked

Impeach Bush.

[SillyGoose]

38. Why is the CNN reporter (Ed Henry?) wearing a tuxedo on air?

[democrank]

44. Ed Henry?

Probably going to the White House for dessert.

[Carni]

70. He has dinner and a frolic fest scheduled with Gannon later eom

[FormerRepublican]

40. Maybe the pest control guy sprayed Organophosphates to kill roaches...

...something like Malathian. Would set off the sensors. An innocent explaination for the alarm being triggered. Malathian has been banned, but it's still out there...

Would be bad if it's the real deal. Hope not. We don't need any more fear mongering.

But lord, the timing is strange.

[thefloyd]

52. Somebody probably sprayed

a can of lysol

[DoYouEverWonder]

66. Or maybe it's Condi's new perfume?

I hear it's really killer.

[Vektor]

41. So help me God...

If those pigfuck neocons harm one hair on John Kerry's head, pieces of the responsible parties will be found in my stool.

[globalvillage]

45. I didn't hear his name among the quarrantined, Vek

I did hear Byrd and Dodd, though.
Probably false alarm.

[Vektor]

46. I do hope

it was a false alarm. Where is Kerry today, anyhow?

[globalvillage]

50. Band of Brothers event

with Gen Clark

[Vektor]

84. Ah...ok.

That's right. I read about that...thanks for clarifying! :-)

[Wordie]

42. CNN saying that false positives are common. eom

[Straight Shooter]

63. If they're so common, why is this such an unusual occurrence?

And why is the timing so frickin' suspicious?

My tinfoil hat is a bullsh*t detector.

[Wordie]

88. Ya got me...but they've got more than 200 people standing around in a

parking garage, just in case (congressional employees). I guess that in itself is news. It is curious how people keep saying now that this happens frequently. Weird too is why they would need to clear the filters on the devices. I would think that would be a part of regular maintenance on such crucial devices, wouldn't you?

[Straight Shooter]

92. If it happens frequently, then this isn't news.

It's just been reclassified as news to alarm people. Maybe one of those Senators in the building will have the guts to come forward and explain how many times this has happened before.

Yeah. Right. I'm dreamin'.

I agree about the regular maintenance of filters. I also think this whole thing is a crock.

edit to add: something to distract from the King funeral and the criticism of bush

[Wordie]

95. I think you're right. hmpf. eom

[Just Me]

43. Okay. So, who is feeling safer, NOW?

A fear-based nation can be driven anywhere.

[thefloyd]

47. Well time to carpet bomb

Iran. New front in war on terror :sarcasm:

[Wordie]

48. CNN saying it is a chem agent that was picked up...again stressing that

there is a fairly good chance that this is a false positive, because nobody is reporting any symptoms. If it was chemical, symptoms would be likely. Another reporter is saying he guesses it's a false alarm.

[malaise]

53. What the fugg is a false positive?? n/t

[thefloyd]

57. Opposite

of True negative

[malaise]

58. False alarm

according to KO:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[malaise]

49. Can you believe these people n/t

[rumpel]

51. Again, very suspicious. Warning the dissenters...

[globalvillage]

61. The building is mixed Dem and Repub.

I heard Byrd and Dodd are there, Hagel and a couple other repubs.

Hoping just a false alarm.

[rumpel]

68. Just as Rove warned GOP dissenters or disloyalty, Hagel is one of them

[mod mom]

64. Exactly, just like a tularemia scare to make protestors less likely

to march on DC.

[Glimmer of Hope]

87. That was so transparent. Notice how there wasn't

any follow up investigation?

[Catchawave]

100. I remember that....!

Wasn't as newsworthy for we skanky protesters...LOL.

[mikelgb]

54. DANGAH!

:nuke:

[0007]

55. Yawn!! Those big time scares are getting me down.

[Carni]

56. What is it? Rove's Pamprin?

WTF- WHO CARES!

[cdsilv]

62. Rove must have had someone spray Roundup on the detectors....

(Glyphosate....)

[Carni]

82. Or Rove farted and the roundup that should have taken HIM out

Found it's way into the detectors...

[spooky3]

60. Keith O reporting that "it appears to be a false alarm."

[cdsilv]

65. So, are the GOP folks who were 'terrorized' by this gonna call ...

Rove's bluff?

[Disturbed]

73. Time to install new bugs in the phones and

copy off info on the Hard Drives?

[OzarkDem]

71. They frequently have false alarms

so why make a big deal of it this time? And why does CNN feel the need to report it? I've been in a House office building when an alarm went off a couple of years ago. Same warning - something in the attic, blah, blah, blah.

No one did anything, the alarm was declared false, everyone stayed in the building.

This sounds like a publicity stunt.

[rumpel]

69. CNN says it went off in the Attic. Hmmmmmm

[Rainscents]

77. Attic??? Very interesting!

How the hell anyone got up there in the first place? It had to be inside job!

[shadowlight]

72. Is there a vets rally tonight? nt

[globalvillage]

76. yes

http://www.swingstateproject.com/2006/02/support_max_cle.php

[Crazy Guggenheim]

74. KO said it was a false alarm.

[SillyGoose]

75. Looks like the Capital Police will be giving a briefing any minute.

[Rainscents]

78. Just in time for renewal of Patriot Act!

Be very scare!!!

[brettdale]

79. How come

This BS always happens when Bush*t wants to pass a new law?

Come on media, do your job! Call Shenanigans!

[FreedomAngel82]

80. It wouldn't surprise me

My mom had it on CNN and Paula Zann was saying the first test was positive and the second test negative and how it "makes you wonder" about the testings and everything. They're trying to get everything ready for Iran.

[SillyGoose]

85. 2 tubes of materials need to be tested and it will take longer than

they originally anticipated. 3rd test being done off site in DC. 200+ staffers and up to 12 Sentors are in the parking garage.

[rumpel]

86. No one in their offices...perfect time for ....... fill in the blanks

[Kansas Wyatt]

101. Just like the anthrax attack, to clear the offices.

So a sweep can be made on the opposition to gather information or evidence that threatens BushCo.

[LynnTheDem]

89. bush shown as the total MFing lying asshole he is...and VOILA!

TERRA! TERRA! TERRA!

Nahhhhh bush wouldn't POLITICIZE TERRA, would he! :rofl:

[BushOut06]

90. Must be time to install new wiretaps and bugs

Maybe the old ones expired. Or maybe they just needed to change the batteries, who knows.

[Glimmer of Hope]

91. Local DC news reporting that a cleaning agent set of the alarm.

It was Lysol!

[mom cat]

102. All the talk about cleaning up Washington must be setting off alarms.

[rumpel]

93. senate website does not load

I was trying to check on the hearing schedule for another post. It it just me?

http://judiciary.senate.gov/

Safari can’t open the page “http://judiciary.senate.gov/” because it could not load any data from this location.

[karynnj]

97. Works fine now

[Wordie]

94. KO just reported that 3 fed officials have said it's a false alarm. Jeez.

[DoYouEverWonder]

96. I guess they found

the Bush and Abramoff pictures they were looking for.

[Wordie]

98. Or installed all the new bugs. Dem Senators are a national security threat

after all, so the president has the authority to install them, under the unitary executive theory, doesn't he?

[bonito]

99. Karl dancing in front of the fire again, protecting his shadows. n/t

[TheWatcher]

105. Of COURSE it's a False Alarm

How many times have we seen this.

How many times does this have to happen before we figure it out?

Just another day on Planet Reichstag.

I am firmly convinced if there IS another Terrorist attack in this country, our Government is behind it.

They did such a Bang Up job with the first one.

Good Evening from The United States Of Orwell.

*Sigh*

And, no there is no Sarcasm Tag Here. I'm sorry, I'm with Malloy more than ever on this.

They did it. And They continue to do it.

[Skidmore]

106. Whose offices were they searching?

[tom_paine]

107. Sounds like it's time for the Bushies to check the computers and desks

of the Enemy again.

What more could they want on the Vichy Dems, who are as compliant and silent as a battered wife?

Maybe this time they are Hoover-Vac-ing the moderate Republicans?

[banana republican]

108. $ 200 BN SPENT & WE ARE STILL NOT SAFE !!!!!!!!1 N/T
