6. She took Liz Cheney's latest ad about
the seven who defended Gitmo prisoners, and said they were the Al Queda 7.

Using Liz's own logic, she showed the the supreme court, Bush, Cheney, Liz and then herself were Al Queda.

8. OMG!
You have to check her homepage for the clip tomorrow. She did a whole connection between Liz and Dick Cheney, the Bush administration, Department of Justice Lawyers, JAGs, Etc... and how they're tied to Al-Qaeda the way Liz is trying to imply. She had the lights down low with creepy music and a flashlight. Brilliant! Oh, and Kent Jones arrested her at the end...
