McClellen brushes off Conyers during Press Conference on cspan3

[cyberpj]

Says Conyers voted against the war and just wants to rehash the issue.

And that the Pres is focused on the future, not the past.

[Kazak]

1. Good, the pResident can focus on the impeachment...

in his future. ;)

[merbex]

7. LOL n/t

[EFerrari]

10. That's right! Work in the laundry or in the library? Baloney or

peanut butter?

Maybe he can finally learn to read. :)

[cyberpj]

16. Or go to Gitmo for lemon chicken dinners! nt.

22. John Conyers on Al Franken (AAR) --------- ----------- ----------- > MP3

http://news.globalfreepress.com/mp3/DSM/JohnConyers-AAR-AF.mp3

it was a short but sweet review of where we are to this point...

over 550,000 sigs
104 congress folks signed on
gold star mothers for PEACE
live hearings today

Al asked him bout the old RW canard of... "this is OLD NEWS"
and both agreed that most aren't aware they were LIED TO and certainly no reason to dismiss this IMPORTANT STORY nor for the prez to IGNORE weTHEpeople questions



psst... pass the word ;->

23. thanks!

[SCDem]

2. Didn't * get his undergrad in history?

:shrug:

[EFerrari]

14. Sure. Someone wrote the papers and took the tests and

Junior got the record.

Hey, this isn't far fetched at all. My immnigrant uncle put himself through college taking tests for other people at our local City College. Imagine what kind of services you'd have at your disposal at Harvard as a Bu$h?

[SCDem]

17. I know

I edited (heavily) my ex-husband's papers for him. I know I should have known better :shrug:

[EFerrari]

24. As long as you're not Pickles, you get a pass :) n/t

[MaineDem]

3. The White House sure has been doing a lot of "downplaying" recently

I don't think they're focused on anything other than damage control now. Downplay...avoid...redirect..lie!

[kentuck]

4. And Dubya is coming on right after McClellan ?

Isn't that the same time that Conyer's hearing starts??

[cyberpj]

13. conyers at 2:30 - cspan3 cut to the pentagon's briefing nt.

[Rude Horner]

5. I'm sure ....

that is what the official response is going to be to this whole thing. They're going to try to sweep it under the rug by calling it "old news".

But we have to keep on pushing this! This is NOT old news!! The whole idea of the administration "fixing the facts and intelligence around the policy" is not something that can just be dismissed and "let's concentrate on the future".

FUCK YOU, Scott!:grr:

[cyberpj]

11. You're thinking my thoughts. I was going to say this will be the

sound bytes you'll hear from all Repubs.

Old news. We're focused on the future, not the past. And Conyers is just an anti-war activist.

Listen for it.

[cyberpj]

6. 2nd reporter bringing it up again and he's avoiding it. nt.

April Ryan - pushes and he avoids saying he's already answered the question.

[progressoid]

12. Wonder how he'll ignore it during tomorrow's press conf?

If Conyers gets the coverage we're hoping for, Scotty is gonna be squirming tomorrow.

[cyberpj]

15. I think he was squirming today already but it should be fun, I agree.

I read somewhere all major nets are bringing cameras today.

[SCDem]

18. except FAUX.... oh yeah you said Major

and of course we all know the only thing FAUX is considered major in is Lies and Deception ;)

[cyberpj]

8. cspan audio advetising live coverage at 2:30pm eastern time. nt.

19. The old news was that the intel was bogus

the new news is the intel was bogus because they made it up (and more than likely forged the Niger Papers too, since Italy said they got them from U.S.)

[cyberpj]

20. I hope it gets explained JUST THAT WAY. You're so right. nt.
