Fire at White House office building forces evacuation

<snip>
Almost as quickly, the fire took on a political cast.

The website Democratic Underground lit up with comments and questions from readers: "Too many documents to shred," nradisic posted at 9:48 a.m. "What records are being 'cleaned up?' " asked Botany, two minutes later. "What all is going up in smoke?" asked gratuitous, at 9:53 a.m.

On the Huffington Post website, humorist Andy Borowitz had his own take: "The White House, one of the most historic structures in the nation's capital, burnt to the ground today after Vice President Dick Cheney attempted to incinerate a cache of CIA interrogation tapes in his office."

Casting its own skepticism on suggestions from the political left that the blaze was the equivalent of the 1933 Reichstag fire, which Adolf Hitler used to extend Nazi control in Germany, Little Green Footballs, a conservative website, reported: "There was a fire in Dick Cheney's office this morning, and as usual the leftist blogosphere is brimming over with lunatic ranting."

That is terrific! We do jump in and discuss things immediately! SWEET!

No, that was 9/11, as staged by Bush's good friends from Saudi Arabia, you morans.

Jeez.

My remarks upon posting the vid at the link above:

At 3:51 IdiotBoy states:
"...what causes 19 kids get on airplanes to kill 3,000 students..."

:wtf:

...when discussing Cheney's conflagration yesterday. This thread:

...is Ollie North's "shredding parties".

Right. I'll take DU's record for being right about what's going on over "Little green footballs" any day of the god damn week.

(And WTF is up with that stupid name, "Little green footballs"? No, don't tell me. I really don't give a shit except to point out that "little" and "green" seem unusually appropriate adjectives for them.)

This is not a joke answer!

Why don't they just call their site Little Brown Dingleberries?
Seriously, RWers have an uncanny penchant for being repulsive, and liking it.

I'm not ashamed of it. The rest of them can live in ignorant bliss if they want to.

we tell it like it is...and we don't give a damn if the republicans don't like it...

to be mentioned in DU than the other way around. DU is the future of journalism - and no trees die.

that the M$M is so desperate for material that the have to come here to get it.

At least DU didn't have to wait 3 or 4 years for coverage.


If they did their fucking job, they could find plenty of material.

We are both a cross section and a cutting edge. Not to mention good looking. :)

No shortage of strong women around here (as for whether the men are good-looking, email me for your personal appointment for a hands-on evaluation!)

Appointment to kiss my ring will be accepted by my office at such time as I actually own a ring.

Worship me, you peons.

:yourock:

Dangit!

This prima donna stuff is hard.

:smoke:

I went out to eat last night, and when they mentioned the fire on the television one of the people at the table behind me said how convenient it was for Cheney to have a fire in his office. That comment came out of the mouth of a rural Texan.

they have no sense of humor, do they?

committed in secret.:sarcasm:

Go, DU! They all read and take notes. Maybe something will sink in someday.

Just like we were wrong about the stolen elections and about the WMD fakery and the new WMD fakery. Next, we'll be calling Bush an irresponsible liar!

lol

You were mentioned in the LA Times. :toast:

My, my we have quite a few lurkers here.
