[MoonRiver]

1. Awesome!

[movonne]

2. Could you keep us posted on what's happening on KO as my

tv is down..thank you

[MoonRiver]

4. Arianna Huffington bashing DNC for calling on McCain to apologize,

thereby buying into the rightwing talking points. She has a point.

[Hissyspit]

7. Times, Post, etc. ALL reported on Obama's "wasted lives"

Only AP reported on McCain's use of "wasted lives" on Letterman show.

"It doesn't fit the (stereotypical) narrative of Democrats and Republicans," she said.

[malaise]

11. Big point

Dems must learn when to shut up.

[MoonRiver]

12. Yep. n/t

[malaise]

8. Ariana is on

KO also raised the issue of anti-war Dems demanding an apology from McCain since the lives are being 'wasted. He praised Obama for saying that he didn't think McCain meant that.
Ariana says it is wasted lives. Stop focussing of gaffs and deal with the lives. Says campaign should focus on best leader not most gaffs.

The hypocrisy comes from MSM who had a different approach with Obama.
Ariana says Mc Cain and Hilary sold their souls re the war. Lesson here from the Faustian bargain - well said.

Now for the North Korea 'getting it wrong' re nukes.

3. I'm with ya girl

He calls it like he sees it. Doesn't he.

[malaise]

9. Indeed n/t

[dflprincess]

5. Frankly, I think both Obama and McCain were right when they said "wasted"

there was no reason for any of those killed in Iraq to have died.

[Jeanette in FL]

15. Their lives were wasted

And it pisses me off when these politicians say what they mean and then feel like they have to apologize for it. Damn. We all know the score.

[Skidmore]

6. I hope C&L gets this one up tomorrow so I can see it because

our satellite is down with this storm.

[malaise]

13. Stay safe n/t

[tridim]

10. LOL at Newt

Look at him, he's the most smug man I've ever seen. Can you imagine that dude as our President? :rofl:

[malaise]

14. I can no longer bear the sight of Bush

He sickens my stomach.

[Jeanette in FL]

16. Neither can I

It is visceral. He makes me sick as well, I can't even stand when he says anything. That crap of him spewing today about that the federal government gave money and that the people need to look at their local government for answers made me sick.

[malaise]

17. I didn't hear a word he said

I just looked at his smug, arrogant, human hating face and that was enough. I have switched him off totally and completely.

[Jeanette in FL]

19. Today he told the people affected by Katrina

that the Federal govt. gave a ton of money and that they need to look at their local govt. as to where that money went. Of course, I was much more articulate than he was.

[Graybeard]

21. Blame the victims...

...never take responsibility for anything. The Repuke answer to everything is to point the finger at the other guy.

[malaise]

22. LOl

Blame the Dems. That's the new line.

[MoonRiver]

18. Same here.

Everytime they say he's coming up I hit the mute button with lightning speed.

[malaise]

20. You know there was a time

when he was comic relief. Then he became a classic study of lunacy. Now I just can't bear to listen to this arrogant, delusional and not funny war criminal.

[Jeanette in FL]

23. Exactly

It is not fucking funny anymore. Whoops, I probably just added to DU being a vulger site.

[malaise]

27. Not fucking funny

Let me add to our reputation. :D

[MoonRiver]

24. What repulses me the most,

is when I see that smirking idiot continually waving to nobody after he deplanes, or before he gets on, Airforce One. His dumb as dirt wife does the same thing. I know it's irrelevant compared to the horrors he's committed, but somehow those staged plane scenes really get my bile up. I guess it just reinforces the fact that he's totally illegitimate.

[malaise]

26. Yep the waving sets me off

:puke:

[City Lights]

30. His face looked bruised again to me.

The nose and upper right cheek.

The sight of him makes me want to hurl also. ;-)

[malaise]

32. Truthfully

I no longer give a fuck. Call me when they're dragging him out of the White House.

[City Lights]

41. ROFLMAO!

I'd pay to see that!

[DKRC]

42. See it? Ah hell, I'd pay to do it!

:evilgrin:

[Roland99]

25. Uhh...there were articles all over the place today criticizing McCain.

[City Lights]

35. I did a search of Google News and did find many more than expected.

KO specifically showed michelle malkin's website when he mentioned that the crickets were out in force on wingnut bloggers' sites.

Looks to me like lots of news organizations picked up the story, but the wingnut smear machine was in hypocritical overdrive on it.

[malaise]

36. They jumped all over Obama though

fugging hypocrites.

[City Lights]

39. Yup. eom

McCain says he regrets Iraq comment

By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer Thu Mar 1, 1:23 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Republican presidential contender John McCain (news, bio, voting record), facing criticism from Democrats, on Thursday said he regretted using the word "wasted" to describe the more than 3,100 U.S. lives lost in the Iraq war.


"I should have used the word, sacrificed, as I have in the past," the Arizona senator said after Democrats demanded he apologize as Sen. Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) did when the White House hopeful recently made the same observation.

"No one appreciates and honors more than I do the selfless patriotism of American servicemen and women in the Iraq War," McCain, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, said in a statement.

On Wednesday night, McCain said on CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman": "Americans are very frustrated, and they have every right to be. We've wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American lives."

McCain, a staunch backer of the four-year-old war but critic of how
President Bush has waged it, made the "wasted" remark after confirming to Letterman what has been clear for at least a year or more — that he's in the running for the 2008 Republican nomination.

29. Wasted lives

Wasted lives Wasted lives Wasted lives
Wasted lives Wasted lives Wasted lives
Wasted lives Wasted lives Wasted lives
Wasted lives Wasted lives Wasted lives
Wasted lives Wasted lives Wasted lives
Wasted lives Wasted lives Wasted lives
Wasted lives Wasted lives Wasted lives
Wasted lives Wasted lives Wasted lives

No spin will change that fact.

31. Can't say it enough n/t

[johnnydrama]

33. the waving

That's so funny, I swear I started noticing this the past few weeks on Countdown.

Dumb chimp waving for like 20 seconds over and over....

[Jeanette in FL]

34. Glen Beck, worst person of the world

Asks a female guest to pose nude for a picture. Even BO wouldn't do that Glen, say Keith.

[malaise]

37. I've never watched him

not even once.

[Jeanette in FL]

38. I heard him once on the radio

About 5 minutes into it, I had enough. I have never seen his tv show, but from what I read hear on DU, I do not think we have missed much.

[malaise]

40. MSM is bad enough

but I can't sink to that level.

[MN ChimpH8R]

43. Wasn't Beck the asshole who said Michael Moore

should be killed for making Farenheit 9/11? Agreed with prior posters - I refuse to watch or listen to His Chimperial Majesty. And thank the cosmic forces that returned Mike Malloy to Air America Minnesota! Now there's some inspiring overnight listening.
