Or will Cheney be there to hold his hand?

I'm pleased to be able to tell you that Dick and I met with the 9/11 commission today and they've decided that it's all Clinton's fault. Stay the course, love freedom, peace out... oh, and fuck you all, I'm headed to Crawford to clear brush and blow up a frog or two

7. Pre-planned, I'm sure
This has nothing to do with Kerrey/Hamilton (perhaps they just left early?) He'll spout some nonsense that the meeting went well, he answered all their questions, case closed, move on, nothing more to see, blah, blah, blah.

And judging from his unfavorability ratings, Kerry would wipe the floor with him in a general election.

24. Don't do us any favors, George.
Other Presidents would have felt a sense of DUTY to testify.

In public.
Under oath.
Without their Vice-President.
And without their General Counsel.

44. Not a stroke, they just haven't hooked the jaw back in after Cheney's
hand was up his butt controlling the mouth. Should be back to "normal" in a few hours.

"At some time in the past, according to both and the President suffered what one of his aides called "a very minor seizure" and as a result of this, the President has a very difficult time following any unscripted conversations. For this reason, his staff carefully and aggressively protect the President from "unexpected" questions that he is not capable of answering."

why did you fight the creation of the commission, then try to nominate Kissinger as head, then stall, stonewall, stall some more? If it hadn't been for the 9/11 families shaming you, you would have successfully done nothing.

Yes, he said that. If he and Cheney had anything to hide they would fucked the nation by covering up the facts.

Well, DUH, we already knew that. That's why he has fought the Commission at every step. He IS hiding something.

separately and under oath. At the very least Bush is trying to hide the fact that he is so incompetent he can't testify alone. They must think everyone is as stupid as the neo-cons that drink their koolaid.

59. It just dawned on me why they wanted a joint interview
Edited on Thu Apr-29-04 01:49 PM by Snellius
Not so much to get their stories straight, or so Clarabelle could pull Howdy Doody's strings, or even because Doofus was too doofy to answer the questions himself. I think it was really to take the pressure not off of Bush but off of CHENEY, who probably knows more, even more than he feels safe to share with the president, than he wants anyone to know. The whole point may have been because they realized that, if the pres. and vp are both being questioned, all the questions will likely go to "the man in charge." It may be CHENEY not Bush who is afraid of having to tell the truth.

61. Excellent point
Edited on Thu Apr-29-04 02:05 PM by Generator
I mean he looks so guilty and dumbstruck, but I honestly think they tell him Bupkas. I honestly think when he was sitting in that school he was thinking, "Holy fuck, whadda I do now?" He didn't have a clue. Meanwhile, the secret goverment has things going on like "simulation" exercises about aircraft going into the Pentagon at the same time 9/11 is happening! Tenet knew, Richard Clark knew, John O'Neill knew, the lowlies at the FBI knew, and some other names we have never heard of knew.

But our commander in chief, nah, he wouldn't be trust with knowing shit. And that is my prounouncement, Bush didn't know, but he knows he did nothing on 9/11 THE DAY to protect us, nothing. He knows he's guilty of being of incompetence in the first degree. Of course he believes things like, "No one could have known airplanes could fly into buildings" BECAUSE that's what they tell him to believe. He could never read intel and make a logical, intelligent conclusion from it. Bush=the perfect patsy for a shadow goverment.
