1. she noted that congress has gone on vacation. and said the
terra-ists will win if the senate bill passes with 120 day and out clause in it. Pres wants the bill to reach his desk so he can veto it and then get a REAL bill he can sign.

4. I'm beginning to wonder if he even knows what a "real bill" is?
He's looking more and more like the little boy who screwed his friends over royally and now there's no one left to play with.

2. she's saying not true about 'tepid' support. 100% confidence in
gonzo. attorney general needs to continue to talk to members of congress. could do it by telephone, or letter, or testifying.

q. sounds like WH is reserving judgment by saying gonzo has to clean up his mess. A. naw, you can have confidence in someone and still think they have work to do.

11. Shine a bright light! Accountability! Soldiers coming back!
variation of a theme. Soldiers Wounded in Battle will NEED our support for yrs to come! President Immediately Took Action and I don't think anyone can disagree with that.

14. a. we don't like pelosi going to syria, and discourage it, and don't
think it's a good idea, and we need to think about the message it sends to our allies, and we don't know what she is trying to accomplish, and we think it's a really bad idea.

19. She is nervous, knowing that every other word that poops out of her mouth
Edited on Fri Mar-30-07 12:06 PM by antifaschits
is to shit-laden, that even she has problems sticking to the mind-fuck that constitutes a WH press corpse conference.

She will not be long for this job. The reporters smell blood in the water, and Rove can't afford a press corpsea that is non-compliant, and not bent-over, pants-down, KY jelly at the ready..
