Number 1 With a Bullet: Google News Returns "556 Related" Hits on Daschle
My, my. Looks like middle America might hear about this, after all. Yessiree...this story is picking up fast. Late last night/early morning there were about 350 returns...now over 550. Wassa matter Bush? Is that you crying Cheney? You afraid your cabal might be going down. Well, I wouldn't try that anthrax thing again if I were you. I think people might catch on this time. Besides, I suspect Daschle might be thinking it might be better to go down fighting, so none of your usual threats will work this time.

2001 anthrax attacks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search

A letter sent to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle containing 'weaponized' anthrax powder caused the deaths of two postal workers.The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001 (after the September 11, 2001 attacks). Letters containing anthrax bacteria were mailed to several news media offices and two US Senators, killing five people. The crime remains unsolved.

2. Mailed the very same day...
Daschle succeeded in denying the pResident unlimited powers to use force IN THE UNITED STATES.

Not mailed the day before...not mailed the day after...that letter was mailed the very day Daschle was able to cut Bush/Cheney off at the balls.

Coincidence? I think not.

11. I don't think it was the same day.
The letter is stamped October.
That said, I sure hope this story gets picked up by the presstitutes. Not holding my breath though.

4. Never forget that Daschle stated publicly that both Bu$h and Cheney
warned him about probing too deep into 9/11. They didn't want to waste time/resources on something so obvious as Bin Laden's retribution against 'Murka. :think:

Funny, too, that those two Senators were Democrats.

12. And, coincidentally, after that letter the feds had to search his offices!
Under auspices of the very Constitutional and civil-liberties-aware Ashcroft Justice Department, of course.

6. Sorry...I'm totally ignorant on that subject....
I was referring to the term that was used in radio when talking about singles that were shooting up the charts.

8. It is the same subject ...
It was called the groupie routine (from the Fillmore East 1971 record).

The groupies (played by members of the band) were "looking for a band with a hit single in the charts ... with a bullet". One groupie says "we only like musicians for friends ... but we wouldn't mind coming in your bus".

Cheers
