29. Here's a thought - Send them the bill
Let's add a line to the ubiquitous IRS form 1040

Are you for or against are involvement in Iraq?

If you are for it, at the end of the 1040, the amount of money you owe the government should be multiplied by a factor of 25.

And no one for the war gets to pay less than $ 35,000

12. That'd be:
Money trumps Peace.
Politics trumps National Security.
Revelations trumps Rationalism.

Or . . . ?

Money trumps Peace.
Money trumps Patriotism.
Money trumps People.

10. OK, if the same M$M thast landed all over Kerry for a botched joke
doesn't cook Bush's goose over this one, I think we have all the proof that we would need to convince the most thick-skulled redneck nincompoop on Earth that the press is biased.

37. NBC and CBS are both owned by defense contractors - don't expect
them to report it. I'd imagine the only hope we have of this getting any attention is if Stewart or Colbert pick up on it.

Said it at today's press conference.
Should be in the transcript later, unless they edit it out. You can see DUers discussing it here in realtime:

17. He actually stopped and thought before he spoke, too. His handlers
must have been holding their breath waiting for his impromptu words. After, they must have been smacking their heads and calling for the flying monkeys to limit the damage. What an idiot.

I mean I know they live by that creed but I didn't think I'd actually hear him admit it. The Press fumbled once again. Score for the evil team.

Edited on Wed Feb-14-07 10:52 PM by senseandsensibility
are not even getting any money out of this boondoggle. Not that it would be right if they were, of course. They're just paying and paying and paying. We're getting neither money nor peace thanks to this incompetent chimp. And the fact that he feels free to say this speaks volumes about the lapdog press that surrounds him. I suppose they laughed like hyenas when he was done delivering his bon mots?:puke:

46. Heard the audio this a.m.
Stephanie Miller played the cut on her radio show this morning a couple of times. What struck me was how hard it was for * to get the word "peace" to pass his lips. He took a l-o-n-g pause as he said "money trumps............uh-peace."
