1. What does that comma comment mean anyway?

That comment doesn't make sense to me. It will look like just a comma?

Did he mean an asterisk but was too stupid to realize it?

[ellacott]

2. I think he means it will be like a pause

While continue their mission. Freedom is on the march but there's a little pause along they way.:(

3. it's the pause between

9. Iraq, Iran, Syria.

In that order.

10. Shrub said this:

“I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is—my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy.”

[tabasco]

12. It means Bush thinks Iraq will be seen as unimportant in the long view.

He is a disgusting piece of filth who minimizes the death and destruction for which he is responsible.

4. Lynn Samuels said that was code talk for his bible banging base.

Something about God never using a period, just a comma, or as one DUer explained, there's some saying "Don't put a period where God puts a comma" or something along those lines. Either way, it's code!

5. Yep, and guess who said that originally...

Gracie Allen.

I'm citing the source (with links) in this Friday's DU Blog Box.

8. If what we've done in Iraq is a "comma", then is some nukes going off

in Iran to be the "period"? Is this some kind of rapture-code? I'm not familiar with the phrase in question.

13. How's dinner, Mr. President?

Enjoy eating your words.... er, commas.

14. And when the final history is written on GWB,

it will look like a pile of steaming excrement.

15. That makes me weep.

Damn * and the evil people working with him. Damn them all to hell.
