A reporter with moxie (are there any left?) should ask Bush at the

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

next press conference (after election, probably), "Isn't it in bad taste to mention eliminating the 'rape-rooms' of Saddam Hussein as a U.S. accomplishment when it now appears that Americans have raped Iraqis, among other abuses, in those same rooms?"

1. No one will ask this

if they want to keep their job. It will never happen - why did you say after election? If shrub is reelected, it'll be even worse than it is now.

4. Helen Thomas would

thats why they don't call on her anymore.

but just IMAGINE what HISTORY will say about YOU :evilgrin:

7. I meant he's going to try to avoid any kind of unscripted press

contact before the election. And after, probably...

[Khephra]

2. They're around...Helen Thomas is one

They just never call on them anymore.

6. who?

i hear ya kheph :hi:

peace

[whistle]

3. The neo-McCarthyism in the White House...

...someone needs to get up the courage and ask. If they loose their job, they'll be set just from the appearances on the talk shows.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. Isn't it possible that a real, brutal, honest moment like this could

potentially end shrub's "presidency" in one stroke? Break the FREAKING SPELL? A "at long last, have you no decency, sir" moment? I mean, WHAT COMEBACK OR ANSWER COULD HE POSSIBLY HAVE TO THAT? Can you imagine all the shades of red and purple his head would turn before exploding?

8. gotta wait another 6 months... or so

till the next 'press' 'conference'

peace
