just now he showed a clip of Clinton playing with his dog while blaming 9/11 on him ... I really think this guy would call Sean Hannity a tree-hugging liberal

1. I sent him an email 2 days ago suggesting exactly that. He and
some shithead were talking about Berger and his lawyer sayong that Berger had stuffed the papers in his clothing. I set him straight and asked him why he didn't just go to Fox, since that's the quality of his reporting, and suggested that he check his stories before alleging lies. Today I followed up with a link to the real facts of the Berger deal. No return email from the asshole.

NPR's got 'em..PBS has them now..The Sierra Club has them... League of Wommen Voters has 'em...Liberal newspapers have 'em..

That's the perfect strategy.. corrupt from within..

Faux has enough, and guys like "dead-woman-in-my-office-gotta-spend-more-time-with-my-family Joe" is positioned just where they need him..

3. In fact I just sent him this
Hey! Were you paying attention when people testified that the Clinton administration told Bush that he needed to watch out for Al Queda? Did you hear that Ashcroft didn't want to hear about it? D you remember what was taking up all their time in the previous months? Banning stem cell research, destroying the environment, enriching the corporations, tax cuts, finding a reason to bring Saddam down - NOT STOPPING AL QUEDA!!!
I know who the greatest responsibility belongs to, and it wasn't Clinton! Know this, you and others like you who hunted him, and did everything you could do to disrupt his performing his job as president; you are all responsible for 911. Not him. Anyone with half a brain can see that!

5. Ask him if he heard that the 9/11 Commission wrote that Ashcroft LIED

to them. It's right there in black and white in their report.

Ask him why that isn't a little more important than Berger's socks.

7. I did not know that - that would be something to ask
joe@msnbc.com - please join me in setting this f****r straight. And I had never heard about the dead aide in his office. I googled it, here's a link for anyone who wants it
http://www.truthout.org/docs_01/01.05B.Klausutis.1.htm

Finally, on August 6, Berkland released the autopsy. Oddly, although the police had originally stated that there were no signs of trauma, Berkland acknowledged that Klausutis had sustained a "scratch and bruise" on her head which had been noted in the original death investigation. His explanation for having lied to the press was to "prevent undue speculation" about the cause of death.

Berkland determined that Lori, an avid runner who ran fivemiles a day, had a prolapsed mitral valve which caused a sudden cardiac arrhythmia -- an irregular heartbeat -- which in turn caused Lori to faint "in midstride," and hit her head on the desk. How Berkland came up with this theory is unknown since the medical report contains no description of the death scene, no diagram of the location of the body, or its posture or appearance as Berkland first observed it on the morning of July 20th..

Early on in the investigation, there were rumors that Ms. Klausutis had suffered from previous health problems, but her family issued a statement contradicting this.

"Thus, in the very first chapter of this story, several questions arise. How could a healthy, physically fit, 28-year-old woman suddenly "faint" of a previously undetected heart problem? How could the police, with no witnesses, and knowing from the outset that Ms. Klausustis had sustained a bruise to the head, determine that there was no evidence of an attack? If Rep. Scarborough had an appointment with the Bergmann's, why was he still in Washington, D.C.? Or was he? Why did the police and medical examiner lie to the public about the existence of visible signs of head trauma? They lied to the public so easily. Could they have lied about other things, as well? Given their later reluctance to pursue the case or release any information whatsoever about it, this lie may indicate a less-than-honest handling of the case. "

If this had been Clintons office.......well, you fill in the blanks

4. Maybe none of the women at FAUX wanted to risk working with him.
Maybe their insurer wouldn't go for it? :shrug:
