10. The only thing missing from the Air America parody of it is: "and I think
that for consenting to show up they should be both put on Mt Rushmore"....
It went on:
"But may I ask you, ehy do you wear the same pants?" Not the same style, the same pair?"

11. We're still vunerable ..
how astute.

<snip>
``If we had something to hide we wouldn't have met with them in the first place,'' Bush told reporters at the White House after he and Vice President Dick Cheney met with the panel in the Oval Office for more than three hours. ``I wanted them to know how we set strategy, how we run the White House'' and deal with threats, Bush said.
...
``I was never advised by my counsel to not answer anything. I answered every question they asked,'' Bush said.

The U.S. is ``still vulnerable to attack'' by al-Qaeda, the terrorist network behind the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush said. ``Al- Qaeda hates us,'' he said. ``So long as there is an al-Qaeda enemy that is willing to kill, we're vulnerable.''

12. Some fucking democracy we have. All you commission
members, may you burn in hell for agreeing to this. If any of you had an ounce of integrity, you would have boycotted the whole thing.

14. It was extraordinary because
Cheney actually shoved his arm up Bush's ass for real, and proceeded to use him as a hand puppet.


No, really.

15. Wha? Nothing about 'body language' or how well they worked together?
That was the whole point of testifying together, according to Shrubbery.

As I've said before this committee is full of hacks who jerk each other off all the time. Nothing will come of these "commission" hearings. It's all BS.
