MSNBC calls it COUNTDOWN; thinking Americans call it the EVENING NEWS

[johnfunk]

Keith opens HARD tonight with the four favorably-spinnable-forShrubya pages of an April 2006 NIE -- and Condi's flat-out lie about the 9/11 Commission having concluded her husba... er, boss was as aggressive about going after Osama as Clinton (they concluded otherwise, Condi!).

Go, Keith!

Just called Jr. on his smirk. It was great.

I always thought the smirk means his lying and thinks he is getting away with it.

1. Wow....the smoking gun has been found!

[johnfunk]

2. ...and the Smoking Gun turned out to be a Smirking Chimp...

... not a mushroom cloud. Got that, Condi? Go tell your hubby.... er, boss...

3. Breaking: All of theTerrorists are not in Iraq waiting for Us to kill them

[johnfunk]

5. I'm SHOCKED, Patrice, simply SHOCKED!

Now if you'll excuse me, Patrice, I have to go dodge IEDs and pick up my "contracting" check from DOD back in the Green Zone. (With apologies to Constable Reynaud from Casablanca.)

[patrice]

7. Yeah, who would have thought???

It's just like those darned airplanes, you just never know what some people are going to come up with!

[johnfunk]

4. BTW, is it just me, or is Larry O'Donnell...

... starting to look a lot like Nathan Lane?

[patrice]

6. KO will review what Bush did about alQaeda in those 8 months

tomorrow night.

I'm looking forward to it!

I want to hear more about Condi firing Richard Clarke.

[Old and In the Way]

10. That'll be a short segment

But there will be plenty of examples of things this administration did to take the focus and heat off terrorism. Their actions made the attack probability of success much, much higher.

The real question is....what WAS this administration doing that was more important (to them) than engaging Al Qaeda? The answer lies in the secret energy meetings Cheney convened in the Spring of '01.

[patrice]

11. Oh yeah, that meeting, another "little" detail that's sort of fallen

through the cracks in Everything.

[johnfunk]

8. ROTFLMFAO! Caption below B-roll of George Allen:

"Dunce of the Confederacy?"

[johnfunk]

9. Allen's excuse for the noose in his office:

"It was a WESTERN motif."

Right -- maybe Western South Carolina. Or Western Georgia.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

12. There are tens of thousands of Muslims in Amurka.... and not

one, not one car bomb, IED, RPG or anything else has gone off... now when I do that math.... I come up with, we are fighting them over there cuz the Iraqis (who were minding their own bidness) wouldn't come over here.

[texpatriot2004]

13. So true nm
