HOLY CRAP! Franken playing clip of Mr. Bill's NOLA prediction.
Brilliant. In 2004, there was a Saturday Night Live skit talking about how if a hurricane hit New Orleans, the city would flood.

Even a fucking cartoon knew what would happen. Ignorance is not an excuse anymore. Accountability is coming.

9. Where's page 2 of that PDB
which mentions,"weeks many many dead,very very big uproar,possibly
using hijacked commercial jets as suicidal missiles crashing into skyscrapers in NYC,Washington or Chicago".Those are the exact words used on page 2 when it was briefly released to the public.
I saw both these pages,the one you posted and the one missing from public view.

14. The PDb is missing an important paragraph
"weeks,many many dead,very very big uproar,possibly using hijacked
commercial jets as suicidal weapons crashing into skyscrapers in NYC
Washington or Chicago".For a brief moment during the 911 hearings this Aug.6 PDB was released to the public,tv showed the contents of
that PDB,I read it quickly and NEVER again seen that paragraph mentioned or shared with all America.Its there I saw it,wish I had the VCR on when it {PDB}was distributed on cable news....

4. Here is Mr. Bill
OH NO: Mr. Bill Knew, So Why Didn't Washington?


Before we buy the claims of politicians that there was no way to predict or prevent the sinking of New Orleans, it's worth asking how Mr. Bill knew? That's right, the hapless clay figure once featured on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" starred in an eerily prophetic public service announcement earlier this year to raise awareness about the environmental conditions that could lead to a hurricane drowning the city. Click Here for Mr. Bill's site, click Hurricane Sluggo to see video.

6. What did Mr. Bill know, and when did he know it?
We have to get to the bottom of this. Without playing the "Blame Game," of course.

8. The playdoh guy
would be a better replacement for Chertoff ..

Mr Bill, the playdoh guy could also be the one to take all the blame and we could watch a public execution.

O NOOO!!!

11. Isn't Peter "Bosom Buddies" Scolari the voice of Mr. Bill?
It's just a point of trivia that I'm trying to confirm. I heard that Scolari has provided the voice for Mr. Bill. I know that he and Tom Hanks have been close pals ever since the "Bosom Buddies" TV show, and that they work on a lot of projects together. (Scolari was the voice of the "lonely boy" in Hanks' "The Polar Express".)

12. No....the creator, Walter Williams, does the voice of Mr. Bill. n/t
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 12:09 PM by tx_dem41
That was my understanding. After googling, I see that Scolari is listed in the credits of a movie called "The Real Life Adventures of Mr. Bill"....so I could be wrong...sorry.
