Q Scott, a few days ago, conservative columnist Paul Craig Roberts had a column where he compared the administration's use of September 11th with Hitler and the Reichstag fire as a blanket cover for extraordinary measures. Now, this is coming from a conservative columnist; this is not Nancy Pelosi. Doesn't this concern you that these kind of reactions have come up especially with all the revelations about the NSA and spying?

MR. McCLELLAN: I haven't seen his column -- I haven't seen his column. But what -- your characterization I would reject wholeheartedly.

here's Robert's article excerpt. This is another attempt by the people who ENABLED Bush to act like they aren't just like him. This will be the biggest mistake the left can make - letting the right act like Bush isn't a conservative or he is just their crazy uncle and not a true conservative. This will allow them to put lipstick on some pig in '08 and act like it's the new and improved conservative. For some reason liberals don't get it,

IT'S THE CONSERVATISM STUPID!!!

That should be our motto, not "Bush did this" or that but CONSERVATIVES did it.

It is a paradox that conservative foundations and individuals have poured money for 23 years into an organization that is inimical to the separation of powers, the foundation of our constitutional system.

September 11, 2001, played into neoconservative hands exactly as the 1933 Reichstag fire played into Hitler’s hands. Fear, hysteria, and national emergency are proven tools of political power grabs.

Now that the federal courts are beginning to show some resistance to Bush’s claims of power, will another terrorist attack allow the Bush administration to complete its coup?

That was a good one. Still not the classic and most important of all the questions asked of Scotty. From, who else?? Russell Mokhiber.

The time mark is from 31:15 to the end.

Mokhiber: Scott, on the Middle East - many evangelical Christians in the United States are supporting right-wing Jews in Israel who want to rebuild the temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. They (Evangelical Christians) believe this is a prerequisite for Christ's return to earth.

They believe that when Christ returns to earth - they call this the rapture - he will take back with him the true believers. And the rest - the non believers - Jews, Muslims - will be left behind to face a violent death here on earth.

My question is, as a born again Christian, does the President support efforts to rebuild the temple on the Temple Mount?

Scott McLellan: Russ, we can sit here and talk about religious issues. I will be glad to take your question, and if there is more, I will get back to you on that.

Mokhiber: Is he a born again Christian?

Scott McLellan: Thank you. (McLellan abruptly ends the press briefing and walks out.)

1. "I haven't seen his column -- I haven't seen his column."

Yesterday, Rohrbacher said he didn't know much about the Abramoff investigation, and how lengthy the list of crimes was ...

Michael Brown(ie) didn't know there were people stuck in the Convention Centre in NOLA ...

Could we DUers pool our pennies, and buy these guys a TV set, a radio, maybe a subscription to a newspaper or two?

No wonder the country is in such a mess -- apparently, nobody knows nothin'!
