Tenet and others told the White House in OCtober, three months before the SOTU.

Even Condi Rice was informed about.

Andrea Mitchell just said Tenet fell on his sword and that newly declassified info from the CIA shows that the White House was warned in advanced.

And some presdidential historian from George Mason University just stated that Bush is damaged.

2. Olbermann is a scumbag smarmy toady tool, lest we forget
He loves his cutesy and transparent barbs on what he thinks is "news".

This is the guy who couldn't revel enough in his story of Junior not taking Chirac's calls, characterizing them as cowardly contrition, and when he finally reported that they'd had a conversation, he had to cutely point out how Chirac probably called him collect.

Sportscaster. Feh. Too scared to even take a plane flight.

5. Well now the shoe is on the other foot.
The scumbag, swarmy, toad stool just read an editorial from the Army Times bashing Bush* for "nickel and diming" the troops while they are getting killed in Iraq. Blistering.

8. I like Olbermann
He rips both sides equally and isn't into towing MSRNC's company line. He's not a GOP sympathizer. Olbermann ripped into Dennis Miller the other day for being a GOP stooge.

I catch this show at least twice a week and enjoy it. The times I have tuned in I haven't heard anything really objectionable. Of course, my memory fails me sometime and I might have forgotten. But, generally, I like him and the format of his show.

4. oh man....
Edited on Fri Jul-11-03 07:12 PM by Cush
now he's talking about the article from THE ARMY TIMES, which slams Bush and the GOP controlled congress about the lack of funding and pay for veterans and those now serving in IRaq. About how all they get is talk from the admin, and that it's getting short.

Catch the repeat!!!

6. Watergate II
Now we know how Watergate must have looked to our parents' generation. Bush is in deep shit. The lying bastard is throwing bodies over the side already. Someone from the CIA is going to leak like a sive, and this whole thing is going to blow like a volcano. Oh, by da way, Keith rocks. LMAO!

12. Hi, cbb
Unfortunately, I, too, actually remember Watergate. You're so right. We lived to see accelerated news. Who'da thunk it? A toast to you fellow traveler.

My father was a Viet Nam veteran, too. He was an aviation electrician abaord the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Midway which was stationed out of Japan. My uncle Michael fought two tours in Nam and was wounded three times. He received two bronze stars and three purple hearts, so I have nothing but repsect for vets.

I definately agree with you that the cable news channels being on 24/7 speed up the scandal machine. The Repukes created the FOX (i.e., Nazi News) to smear Clinton. Now the concocter in thief is getting his own medicine. Lets hope it isn't a remedy.

14. If all the truth about Bush* and his gang of thieves
ever comes out, we'll all wonder why we thought Watergate was such a big deal.

13. A long time back, some said:
With this administration, the buck doesn't stop until it hits an offshore bank. (I think it was Tahiti Nut.)
