John Warner, R-VA: "He spoke with confidence and an unwavering resolve"
Praised Bush for his determination to "get the mission done."

Sorry, no link...it was a soundbite from Warner just now (9:02 PM Pacific) on Air America's news break.

3. please tell me sucker

warner, if you have grand kids, urge them to enlist

In fact every damn senator who voted to give * the authority to go into Iraq should be required to send their children, or their grandchildren, or STFU

Nothing was learned

lies about WMDs
lies about 9/11 and Iraq
lies about our national security why we should go into Iraq

Why should your children die for lies?

4. Warner's a blowhard
He's just another tired old pompous Republican fart. He was all for the Iraq War. Now, like the rest of the drumbeaters, he's scared shitless that it's going down the tubes.

9. Taking the quote
from the movie "The Rock" as spoken by the character John Mason, and now as it applies to John Warner, "I think this is an act of lunacy, Personally, I think your a fucking idiot".....

A friend of Bush and his war will obtain no support of mine.

15. Warner just loves to hear himself use really manly words.
He always has to editorialize during Senate hearings, saying (Bush, troops, Republicans) are "courageous", "brave", "rigorous", with a host of other strong and manly attributes.

He acts like he's in a movie with real heroes to talk about. He should look around and realize the people he is thus describing are a bunch of hapless putzes - - at best.

I think he's really, really afraid somebody might confuse him with a girly-man.

16. Yeah...
I didn't catch but three minutes of the GWB speech, cause of inlaws and other things that popped up. By the time i got back it was over, and the talking heads were discussing what GWB said, and John Warner did say that, when asked by Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News, its the stereotypical rhetoric that any bush supporter would say, more of the same, even though people are waking up to the fact that not all is good in Iraq. John Warner was praising Bush, and J. Biden was pot shotting the speech, like i said i didn't watch it, but i did read the transcript...in my mind, a bunch of the same old crap, to try and stir up the troops, support for the war, and i don't think its going to do much. He mentioned 9/11 i believe 5 times, and yet Iraq didn't plan, or put into action the 9/11 attacks, Osama Bin Laden did, so the 9/11 comments might back fire on good ole GWB...later.

18. I heard him say that to, don't you get SO tired of...
hearing the meme from the right. I've come to the conclusion, most are not capable of independent thought. Unless they have a corporate check in their hand, which seems to be the problem. <arggg>
They are so free about our children shedding blood and dying for their stupid fantasy. If the shoe was on the other foot they would shut their mouth.

20. I'll believe in his unwavering resolve
when his daughters enlist and get sent to Iraq or Afghanistan. Until then, he's just blowing hot air.

25. Petition to John Warner, Senate Armed Services Chairman
Stop Blaming the Troops - Investigate the Real Culprits of Abuse

The time has come to investigate the Bush Administration's role in the prisoner abuse and humiliation that has motivated our enemies in the war on terror and endangers the well-being of our fighting forces.

Today, the reports of abuse and humiliation at detainment facilities in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Cuba are distracting the world from focusing on winning the war on terror. Although the military chain of command seems to have properly investigated the role of its personnel and held accountable those in the wrong, the civilian leadership in this country has failed to do the same.

Call on Senate Armed Services Chairman John Warner to investigate the Bush Administration's role in prisoner abuse now!

27. screwing America beat screwing Elizabeth Taylor
Edited on Wed Jun-29-05 07:59 AM by Algorem
Taylor said she lost her sense of worth when then-husband John Warner was elected a U.S. Senator. "I felt I'd become redundant--I had nothing to do," she wrote in Elizabeth Takes Off. Out of loneliness, she said, "I ate and drank with abandon. The large amounts of food I ate were a substitute for everything I felt was lacking in my life. But what was really starving was my self-esteem, and all the food in the world couldn't bolster it."

http://abilitymagazine.com/taylor_story.html

Warner married banking heiress Catherine Mellon, the granddaughter of billionaire Andrew Mellon, and their marriage ended in divorce in 1973. He married Elizabeth Taylor on December 4, 1976, and they divorced November 7, 1982. He married real estate agent Jeanne Vander Myde on December 15, 2003.

Senator Warner's warm 1993 welcome to Reverend Moon
Score one for the Washington Times Foundation, which disputes Senator John Warner's account of being "deceived" into inviting Reverend Moon into the Dirksen Senate Office Building on March 23, where Moon was crowned as the Messiah.
This newly surfaced letter seems to establish good feelings between Warner and Moon ten years ago. Warner welcomes Moon to the Capitol, where he promises "a hospitable setting" (but maybe not this hospitable). Warner also expresses his admiration for the Unification Church leader and his guidance of the young and old...

Senator John Warner - Caught Between Liz Taylor and Sun Myung Moon

Jul 26 2004 by Greg Kuhl

Which is more embarrassing? Being married to serial bride Elizabeth Taylor in an era when Saturday Night Live comedian John Belushi was savaging her as a porked-out actress choking on fried chicken? Or giving permission for the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and his merry band of Moonie followers to use the Dirksen Senate Office Building for a coronation ceremony, in which Moon declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings allowed Hitler and Stalin to be reborn?

U.S. Senator John Warner (R-VA) admits both of his mistakes were bad - probably with the potential to damage, but not kill, his political career.

"I fell in love with the Liz Taylor from her early movie career - the celluloid, not cellulite, version," Warner said. "By the time she got to me - after Richard Burton and all her other previous ex-husbands - she was, uh, a little out of shape. So we both moved on.

"At least I focused on my career and didn't befriend that strange little guy Michael Jackson," Warner said. "Heaven help us all if he's really expecting quadruplets. And at least I didn't design a Boston hotel room to look like Britney Spears' Louisiana bedroom, like Britney's mom did, and then actually hoped people will stay there. It should go over big at the Democratic Convention," the Republican said with a laugh. "The Cheetos stains on the bedspread should attract business."...
