Randi's on the air
Wondering what planet Allawi is from, and how did the U.S. settle on him to replace Chalabi?

1. Bush's idea is to let voters line up
And let them get shot whenever the elections are supposed to be held. Brilliant!

Bush also said he saw on "our TV" the images of people being beheaded. Has anybody seen that happen? Anyway, those images are not really what's going on in Iraq. Despite what everyone else on the freakin' globe is saying!

2. Because he's the kind of guy
Who can see 2 people get beheaded and say 'that's not going on there'.

3. We will prove the doubters wrong again
Don't you have to prove the doubters wrong at least once in the first place in order to prove them wrong "again"? Bush has only validated the doubters so far.

5. Iraqi elections should go very smoothly
Aside from the fact that everyone will be too scared to leave their homes on election day.

Station break.

6. When we are doubting the results of our own elections
something bought and paid for by this administration
in another country would be really suspect.

8. Recounting Bush's bogus story about Allawi being attacked
Randi mentions the inconvenient fact that the attack on Allawi happened one year before Saddam came to power in Iraq. Oooops, George.

We have exchanged one thug for a terrorist. Read Allawi's bio.

9. Brahimi reluctantly endorsed Allawi's selection
Bremer pressured Brahimi to say nice things about Allawi just before Bremer split from Iraq along with several billion dollars.

And Allawi is related to Chalabi through his sister, the interim minister of trade.

Allawi also summarily executed six prisoners in the presence of about two dozen people, "to send a clear message on how to deal with insurgents." July 18, 2004. Nice guy.

10. Hey! Iraq's going to have elections!
Who are the candidates? (Silence)

Can I see a ballot? (Silence)

What are the rules? Where is the constitution? (Silence)

And Americans just lap it up like milk.

Iraq: Come for the chaos; stay for the insurgency!

11. Talking about the CBS documents again
And the 60 Minutes story that got spiked in favor of the Burkett "revelations."

13. Kerry has released his military records
They're on his website. There are some medical records that have been withheld, but everything else is there.

The CBS story that got spiked in favor of the Burkett documents was a story about the forged Niger documents. Now the chance for greater public scrutiny of that more important fraud goes by the boards.

15. Who made the call at CBS?
CBS spiked a six month investigation on the Niger forgeries that would have shown how badly the Bush administration deceived the people in favor of a last-minute (almost literally) substitution of the National Guard story.

16. News flash: Bill O'Reilly is a liar!
About to play a clip of O'Reilly flat lying about how Air America's ratings aren't kicking his ass.

AA beat O'Reilly among 18-34 by five to one. Randi's ratings were 2.1 while Dopey's were 0.4.

About 2-1 Randi favored in 25-50 demographic.

And we just got here! While O'Reilly's enjoyed the juice of his various book deals and crossover media exposure.

17. Clip of O'Reilly lying his ass off
"AA has less than 20 affiliates." Wrong. AA has 32 affiliates.

"AA is gonna be off the air soon." Wrong. You wish.

Not only can AA pay its bills, but Randi just got a raise. It's just gonna get worse for ya, Bill. Don't lie about Randi, or you're gonna make her REALLY mad!

Ha ha! O'Reilly can't compete, so he's reduced to lying.

18. Uh oh, Sean Hannity lied too?
Sean was all excited because the Bush administration "nabbed" Cat Stevens. Of course, that was after the guy had already gotten on the plane headed to Washington. Imagine what might have happened if they had really caught a real terrorist?!

On every count, it was a big screw-up.
