Wolf said it was a "heartwrenching moment" at his first news conference.

oh. OK. and just how is the fact that he had cancer....."News?" Sorry, but....



anybody surprised they'd start out like this?

could they be any more transparent?

what next?

trapped kitties?

6. don't tell me he CRIED!?!
how low will they stoop?

how much time does he think that buys him?

is he going to preface every answer to "Hey, Tony, how come the president wants to send thousands of National Guard troops to the borders when he cut funding for the same amount of border patrollers?" with, "But, but, I had CANcer! 911!"

7. OK....
Let me get the disclaimer outta the way first off: The big C is no laughing matter, 'nuff said about that!)

However, I saw this Press event here (my first time streaming CSpan, what a gift.)

My question is this:
OK Tony Snowjob, that gotcha through today, but what about every other day you've gotta get up there? You've had a coddled transition into this job, so cut out the teary stuff (and the tar-baby refs.)

no kiddn.....I was told once that I HAD cancer. Over the phone, by
someone I didn't even know. from the hospital where I'd been tested. then they told me a few hours later that they'd mixed my name up with somebody else

I hadn't even the time for it to sink in before they called back to tell me they'd made a "mistake"

that was fun

20. Dayum!
Glad those were not your results!

Frightening stuff, and unfortunately so many lives have been affected by cancers...we just cannot joke about it.

Glad you're OK, Gabi. :D

22. thanks....I think I'm about to......WEEP!
Edited on Tue May-16-06 06:55 PM by Gabi Hayes
I knew when I posted originally that it might seem insensitive, but I was too PO'd about that weaselly hypocrite to care. didn't want to spend the time coming up with a suitable explication about proper perspective on those who have/had/know cancer up close, cause who doesn't, at this point

what was that Joe Jackson song?

''there's no cure, there's no answer....''

well...what's the cure/answer to this WH cancer?

14. Probably call it "a Muskie moment"
which was something I heard come out of Snow's maw as I flipped channels today.

He's a real class act, that one. Definitely got it going on, that Mr. Ass does.

16. to whose Muskie moment was he referring? his own?
and, what's the deal, from other thread, about the timing of said cancer?

if it's several years past, WTF is he doing bringing it up for now, unless he had a relapse?

18. Just what I saw, and
that's what I'm asking. Did he have a relapse?

I think they're shameful.

Root for the disease.

19. HAAAAA....that's what we called it in college!
we used to go into the rooms of guys that had it, and try to catch it so we could get out of going to class.

15. What a shame that the misadministration couldn't care less about cures...
but then again, righties tend to step into action when bad shit effects them personally. :sarcasm:
