Hi, I'm Fran Townsend

[SoCalDem]

and I'm here to scare you a little before the president leaves for his annual month-long vacation.

The one and a half page report you all have is the de-classified part of a two and a half page "fear report".


Osama bin Laden still wants to hurt us...
One should not poke hornets nests with sticks
They keep trying to kill Musharref

Can't give you many details
You'll have to contact other people directly for their fuzzy explanations

It's not as if we have no clue about what's going on.

The anthrax investigation is still going on.. Talk to the FBI.

The fear alert is blinking vermillion & magenta

Fear terror 22 hours a day
Shop at your nearest mall and or shopping center the other 2 hours.

Be afraid..very afraid..but rest assured that your president knows about the fear factor.

Isn't this a cute suit I'm wearing? and doesn't my hair look nice today?

These are new earrings.

Be nice to the president, he's working hard, and we are trying very hard. But we cannot get everything we want when we want it.

Shop 'til you drop.

7. I only caught snippets from

the teevee on in the LR. I have more important things to do today than listen to fearmongering bushbots (like clean the bathroom). But at one point someone asked something like "It's been six years since Bush said we'd get OBL dead or alive, why is he still out there?"
And Fran replied something like "We're making every effort agaist capturing or killing him."
"Against??" Doesn't that mean contrary to? I would have said "into."

8. Rec # 5 They scratched out the parts about Chalabi again?

I had a gut feeling that they only declassify the parts they want for the earmongeringfay.

Just like the Niger NIE. Declassify only what you need. Or hell, just rewrite the darn thing to read like you want it. Why not. Who's gonna stop you?

You forgot the duct tape, Franny.

10. This covers Georgie's butt, so he can relax and enjoy

his vacation. So if something "bad" happens, he can say.... "see.. I warned ya" ..heh-heh-heh
