Ah - Nomination of Dorrance Smith to be Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs

Apparently the schmuck went before the Armed Services Committee and said that the media was in bed with Bin Laden :eyes:

5. He's hitting back on the attack on the media regarding Bush's

nomination for a post in the DOD. Not sure who the nominee is...but is saying this person was making claims that the network media is aiding and abetting the terrorists. Says a person who makes these claims deserves no position in the DOD.

6. Warner: Maybe he could have made a better choice of words

but noone from the media complained. (paraphrase)

Levin had claimed this guy was trying to intimidate the media.

9. Says Smith's comments were just a poor choice but carefully crafted

to the WSJ. Says he doesn't have the judgement to do the job.

10. Smith makes incindiary comments

Suggested US cut ties with Qatar because it funds al Jazeera and by extension has terrorist ties.

11. "Fox News is a partner with the people who attacked us on 9/11"

Well, yes, but not in the way you mean Senator Levin :crazy:

13. I was laughing so hard...

Faux news IS in bed with the ones who did 911, but it ain't Bin Laden!
