Paul Begal on Crossfire:

[Cush]

on the proposed troop paycuts:

"Instead if playing dressup, maybe Bush should try living on the eager pay he gives the troops"

[rabid_nerd]

1. more?

?

[Cush]

2. On Texas

The redistricting map was approved by judges and even the SCOTUS, but the GOP does't like it, so they wanna change it

[Cush]

3. Blackout Up

Paul brings up the failed vote on PowerGrids in 2001....come on Paul, bring up how Bush didn't want it

Fossella (R) is spinnig and won't answer the question.

Novak: That bill was phony, it would only be for an emergency (um, what was CA)

Weiner: A Clinton proposal to fix things was killed by the GOP. Deregulation has given us blackouts, CA crisis, and Enron

[Cush]

4. Begala:

there was a warnign not in 2001, not just for CA, but for the entire nation.

Novak brings up Bush's comments

Weiner: I'm glad it took 20million without power to wake the GOP up. I'm so glad he took 5 minutes to speak before heading out to another fundraiser. And who do think will be signing those checks? Those from the Energy Co's

Paul: Bush's policy was created in secret by Enron and co

[gratuitous]

5. Ah! A Crossfire fix

Bless you, Cush!

[Cush]

6. Novak brings up Richardson

Weiner: He tried to help out, but the GOP stopped him.

This was caused by a horrible energy policy.

[Gloria]

7. Just before Crossfire...Schneider with John King....pure puke

He was waxing about "trust in government" and how NYC and other cities showed renewed "trust" and that's why there were no big problems. Prominent clip of Rudy in NY after 911.

Then he contrasted this with how CA had no trust in government and how Californians were after the governor because of lack of "leadership."

What a total load of crap. Bill Scheider obviously forgot to mention Enron, etc. etc.

At least Rep. Anthony Weiner is mentioning the Enron/dergulation/California/Davis link....I wish to God Californians would get the message!! Fossella is a typical bullshit Repug....begging for "bipartisanship" .....screw him!!

[Cush]

8. Janeane on all next week?

eom

[Cush]

9. great letter

Paul, is it true that Bush is going to land a figher jet on Broadway, since major blackout operations are at an end?

Quest: If this was a wakeup, what was CA?

Novak said it was different, Paul, no there were warnings but he refused to do anything. He needs to be held accountable
