Craig crawford (Congressional Quarterly) Compares Bush to Barney Fife
On COUNTDOWN tonite, Criag Crawford comments
about the President's recent speeches:

"I think he's trying to bait the Democrats to
get into this argument and start criticizing
him for being too tough on the terrorists.

In this election cycle coming up that only
helps the President, I think, to be the meanest
baddest guy on the block when it comes to
fighting terrorits and that's what he's trying
to do.

Still, he's kinda like Barney Fife when Andy Griffith
left him in charge of Mayberry and came back and
found Barney had arrested the whole town."

3. Just watched that
I had it Tivo'd. Crawford makes a very valid observation. That even though Bush is comparable to Barney Fife in intelligence, the American idots seem willing to reelect him as long as he is the toughest guy on terrorism.

Let me out of here!

GoAgile apparently is STILL a DoD, WhiteHouse and FAA contractor. Doesn't this beat the Dubai Ports scandal all to hell ? Where is ABC on looking into this info ? Oh, yeah, Anything BUT Credible network misses another scoop.

6. What was the thing about saying she wished she could kill Presidnet Bush?
Some news channel had a teaser... they said Cindy crawford had finally lost her mind and they said she gave a speech where she stated that she wished she could kill President Bush in his crib as a baby.

I got distracted and didn't see the hit piece though. Did any one see it? What was it about?

7. I have more respect for Barney Fife. He was at least likable.
Pinhead, not so much.
