Bill Bennett on CNN now
Thinks most of us understand 'mission' in Iraq but Dems, dems,
dems. Quoted William Butler Yeats. Called dems traitors in so
many words. That fat, stupid, ignorant weasels.

Considers Iraq war one of 'our finest hours'.

Blamed bad stuff on news cycle, the unrest. Press must explain
about Saddam, no one died in vain, etc. etc. etc.

Wonder if he means our supplying Hussein?

Said pressie must talk to the people and tell them about terrible
days. Said Iraq a far better country now than before and even better
than others around it.

touted book

Talked about political pressures: will bush cave because of it and leave 'before job done'? Bennett: yeah. And americans have to have
things done quickly -implied flaw in us, bush just needs to explain
to us what is what and it will be cool.

We are being attacked by those (dems, traitors, enemies) that we
will flee, we're paper tigers. "We can't prove them true."

Shit. I could fling a chair into the tv.

Now the casket ban: Never seen anyone brought home in caskets.
Won't allow it. Showed the history of returning caskets. Showed
the families and their tears. Showed Dover Military Mortuary.
Always public before. Astronauts, dead politicians and military
shown coming home there.

Now? Pentagon banned viewing. Dover test supposedly born in Kosovo.
Closure is politics. Pentagon doesn't intend censorship, just wants
privacy. <Choke. Puke> Experts on propaganda say its censorship and
politics. Want only their side out.

We need to return this, Aaron intimates.

Duh.

2. CNN? I thought he'd be on the Travel Channel!
Y'know, giving the inside scoop on the very best casinos in Vegas and Atlantic City.

Details on where high rollers get the best comp deals for rooms, drinks and meals, and things like that!

6. Disgusting that anyone would have him on TV
unless it was to ask him about his gambling problem.

CNN has become the whore of whores.
