3. ABCNEWS had the Uday & Qusay story first
But the second story was, "White House changes it story (on WMD/Niger)".

Still going.

9. CBS, NBC, and ABC are real news.
Uday anf Qusay are gone which makes them old news in this world. We still have no answers on the WMD's, which makes them BIG NEWS!!!

4. Rockefeller is not letting this go...he wants "answers"...more
importantly his tone was that of "these guys are dumb" to paint such a story in the SOTU and expect it not get analyzed.

6. My post from another thread
Why do you think the WH has changed it's tune ?


ANSWER: public pressure

DO you believe Scooty Libby and Cheney have been putting pressure on the CIA?

"The president said there was something wrong with the intelligence"

Give me motive about why the president would have used info that wasn't verifiable?

Was it important to their case to claim there was a nuclear threat?

Will your committe continue to investigate?

Was there pressure on Tennent to take the fall?

He handed it ALL to Rockerfeller just now

8. Rockefeller said...
...it was "dumb and dangerous"

And when asked if Cheney had to answer questions about his role in pressuring CIA, Rockefeller said yes.

10. Right now...
I love Tweety. I forgive him and love him and pledge allegiance to his show. I bet everyone thought for sure he would lead with the story about the sons. Christ, a month ago I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd led with a story about Jessica Lynch.

13. Is the Uday and Qusay death going to slow down the organization
of the resistance?

Probably in the short term no.

20. I was wondering if he'd do something like that
he was woefully unprepared re: NIE last night.

that was the thrust of Reed's assertions--->NIE showed a consensus that there were WMDs, and anybody who dared dispute that is unamerican, "beyond the pale," as was quoted tonight again.

tweet did NOT know the substance of the NIE, clearly. had he, Reed would have been exposed then for the liar he is, was, and always will be?

and what dung heap/three day JackBlack binge was he coming down from?

did you see how MANGY he looked, big ole puffy bag under his left eye; Miami vice shavejob, bad mantan.

what was up with THAT look? what demo is he going after now?

young Christian ecstasy freaks?

18. Tweet is in DA ZONE!!!
He just played a replay of his interview with Ralph Reed, where Ralph was putting all the blame on the dems and the media.

Tweety whupped him like a red headed stepchild, by slapping that premise down: It's not the Dems, it's the Republicans!!!! Why did Hadley try to step down today?"

22. Matthews Deserves Some Credit Here.
I have given this guy hell in e-mail in the past, but he has been on this story like flies on shit and tonight I sent him an e-mail.

Hopefully, more at the DU will e-mail him tonight and thank him for his coverage of the WMD story.

He is carrying it when other will not.

Let him know you are watching.

24. C'mon...
...this is good news. Would you rather he continue his sucking-up ways, just so we could be "consistent" in our disdain for him? Not me! If he wants to jump ship, I'm sayin' come on over Tweety! I know he has fewer viewers than Faux, but I'm happy to have ANY mainstream news report on the WH lies!
