have both said so.

After all, we are all honest critics, although I'm not as sure about loyal opposition.

Where do I RSVP!

Today's speech

He said he welcomed "honest critics" who question the way the war is being conducted and the "loyal opposition" that points out what is wrong with his administration's approach.

Speech on 12/18/2005

Yet there is a difference between honest critics who recognize what is wrong, and defeatists who refuse to see that anything is right.

Scotty's Press Conference today

MR. McCLELLAN: So you're not letting me have an honest, open debate here. I welcome the opportunity to do this -- but they know the difference between honest critics who question the way the war is being prosecuted --we welcome that. In fact, the President has met with some of those honest critics. He met with a number of them just last week. And partisan critics who claim we acted in Iraq because of oil, or that we acted because of Israel, or that we acted based on misleading the American people --

1. No thanks...

I wouldn't step foot in the White House, as long as human trash inhabits it.

No way.

These people make me sick and they are a disgrace. It's depressing that they are
even allowed IN the White House--let alone ruling our country from it.

It truly is a sick and dark situation.

I traveled to DC this time last year. I flew half-way across the country to stick my tongue
out at the White House and utter my true feelings--under my breath of course. I wouldn't want
any Secret Service jumping on me.

I said my peace, stuck out my tongue, walked back to my hotel and flew home the next day.

I probably won't ever change the world--but by God, when I need a catharsis, I'm willing
to go the extra mile. :)

8. LOL! Thanks for the chuckle!

They sure do look miserable, except for the wife.

Most wifes of these neocon bastards have that dazed Stepford look, don't they?

They could be posing in front of a pack of rabid wolverines and the wife would
still have that, "I love a good bunt cake" shine in her eyes.

2. It would have been great when bill and hill were there

but I wouldn't want to get within miles of that place unless it was to help clean up the spoils this bunch leaves.

9. So have they welcomed Cindy Sheehan in for a

brief moment so she can ask her question:

"What noble cause did my son die for?"
