Okay, another voice is heard here...
Okay, first Cheney lies on MTP. Then Rummy contradicts him. And today...
JOHN KING: Mr. President, Dr. Rice and Secretary Rumsfeld both said yesterday that they could see no evidence that Iraq had anything to do with September 11th. Yet on Meet The Press on Sunday the vice president said that Iraq was the geographic base for the terrorists and he also said "I don't know", "we don't know" when asked if there was any involvement. Your critics say that this is some effort, deliberate effort to blur the line...
GEORGE W. BUSH (interjects): Yeah... JOHN KING: ...to confuse people. How would you answer that?
GEORGE W. BUSH: No, we've had no evidence that Saddam was involved with the September the 11th... ...no, what the vice president said was that he has been involved with al-Qaeda, and Al Zaqarawi (ph), al-Qaeda operative, in Baghdad, he's the guy that ordered the killing of a U.S. diplomat, he's a man still running loose, involved with the poisons network, involved with Ansar Al-Islam. There's no question that Saddam Hussein had al-Qaeda ties.
The question needs to be asked - why are they coming clean now? Why??

i know this has been said, but wouldnt you rather have a president who only lies about getting a blowjob than one who lies about everything? i didnt realize how much i missed having bill clinton in office till i saw that campaign thing he did with gray davis in cal-i-fornia, in that church. it wasnt untill then that i remembered what it was like to have a president that is not only articulate, but downright entertaining. bush couldnt be entertainig if he was choaking on a bag of circus peanuts

I don't know, Justin, watching Bush grappling with a bag of peanuts might be very amusing.
Cough, cough, gasp, arrrgh!!!

yeah, i have to admit, that would be entertaining. either way, its starting to look a little bit more hopefull for 2004, although i still think bush will get another 4 years, especially since he will certainly cheat (doesnt someone in the administration have a lot of stock in the company that makes the new electronic voting machines?) its very handy that they dont have a print out, so we just have to take their word for it. i still think bush will declare himself president for life before next fall, and claim that it is to help fight terrorism. either way, at least the press is starting to resent being whores enough to speak up every once in a while
