3. oh honey, get a copy from someone, somehow!
Edited on Wed Nov-02-05 03:22 AM by fleabert
brief outline of the part I LOVED (sister sued the US gov. for killing her bro in Iraq- stop loss, no equipment, no training, lied during recruitment, etc...-- they lost the case, because the government is immune from those cases, but that is beside the point)

closing arguements before the judge on the gov's motion to dismiss: every word could have been a thought pulled out of my own head about the fucking war, our gov. and John Q. Public. simply amazing that it was so well written and on PRIME TIME TELEVISION! equated being patriotic with dissenting! FUCKING FANTASTIC I TELL YOU!

amen.

and Jon was his usual faboo self on TDS, and Boxer was the guest of much honor. I screamed 'I LOVE YOU' to her at the end. I am so proud to have voted for her! (she said she her best vote was her vote against the war)

19. ask primate1 about that, I am not sure, but I think you can stream tds.
i have no idea about boston legal...if it's like most american shows, you should see it in a couple of years or so. (if I am not mistaken, they do that with some of our series, right?)

21. They show all of your best ones
and many of your worse ones too! But I won't be seeing any of them on the TV.

'Cause I don't possess a TV! :crazy:

4. Damn Right!
Both cases on Boston Legal were great, but the war commentary was amazing. It showed how hollow the RW talking points are, how willfully ignorant we as a public are, and how bad the situation is in Iraq.

It was great.

8. he shot denny down like he caught those fish, with ease!
his response to the 'fight them over there' talking point was awesome.

I need the script so I can save it in context...I can't remember it verbatim, but I was cheering. literally.

11. Well, there has been no time or effort spent on my behalf...
But I'm tempted to say it wasn't worth it just for taht dollar. An american dollar would make me like a millionaire up here.

13. What daily show are you getting...?
I can't ever connect to the tracker with the .mp4 files. zearc is the tracker. I wish I could get those. I don't need a high res version for a single guy sitting at a desk.. I think I might of bailed to early so many times that IP got banned.

17. Boston Legal Was Awesome Last Night
James Spader spelled it out brilliantly. He mentioned everything that we have been saying here (maybe David Kelly reads DU). He knew he couldn't win, but he got his point across. The judge even agreed. We went into the war built upon lies.

24. Glad someone mentioned that. Boston Legal was great!!!!
I was shocked at how perfectly they articulated the issue.

We knew they couldn't win, but just getting the argument out there for the TV-viewing public is well worth it.

25. There's a "big-time" Freeper on another board I frequent
who of course tried to counter-argue Alan's points...here's some of the comments verbatim:

"Alan's speech was pure emotion, no facts at all. Iraq is not Viet Nam, we have an exit strategy, the vote on a Constitution last weekend was a milestone in the process."

NEWSFLASH: WE HAVE AN EXIT STRATEGY!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
