Did somebody post the newswire story that Bush won't pull the 9/11 ads?
I don't want to dupe it. It was earlier today. But here's Newsday's feed:

I think this is good news. It's typical of their policies: wait for that "magic eraser" that keeps making every Bush scandal go away after a week or so. Maybe this one will go away too..but I hope not.

1. I think they're testing to see how far they can go.
The pundits say that the admin didn't expect the outcry. I find that difficult to believe.

2. Oh, I believe it.
What they didn't expect was an EFFECTIVE outcry. They've become very dependent on the "magic eraser."

3. Now that MSNBC has exposed that * hired actors to play firemen...

I have a feeling that the ads aren't long for this world. Good Christian repukes probably thought they were seeing actual footage from 9/11.
And the fact that a Bush* aide claimed that "actors were cheaper and quicker" than using firefighters probably won't sit well, either.

5. Actors played the firemen?!?
Nobody told me that. That's incredible! I mean...I'm at a loss for words. That's just incredible.

I used to say that "Wag the Dog" was implausible...

4. I wish the FEC would tell them
that if the Bushistas are going to use those WTC flag-draped remains to symbolize Chimp's leadership then they must give equal time to the flag-draped remains returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, because they also speak eloquently to his "leadership". :mad:

6. Not pulling the adds
Shows his insensitivity to the American people his only goal here is reselection at any cost.he had ample warning of al-quada and chose to ignore them in favor of star wars,oil and tax cuts for the upper 1%.People are beginning to awaken to this bastard regime and this kkkarl rove campaigning is bound to back-fire.
