Did anyone listen to Ari the liar on Fresh Air last nite?

[sjr5740]

Terry Gross was hammering him about *'s reaction on 9-11 of not leaving the room for 7 minutes (the offical media sanctioned time which is actually only the amount of time on the video. I read elsewhere that * was in the room for close to 20 minutes after Card whispered in his ear).

Ari said there was nothing * could've done had he left the room b/c they didn't have enough info right then. It is total bulls*&t b/c even if they didn't have full info the pResident should be in the loop and should be making decisions as the info comes in.

Ari also left the impression that * left directly to washington after leaving florida and forgot to mention his little hop around the country for half the day.

What a tool. Terry should've stuck it to him some more.

1. Bush wasn't in the classroom for 20 minutes, but...

...he was in the SCHOOL for at least 20 minutes after hearing about the second attack. He eventually ended up in the school library, surrounded by children (you know, the ones that he didn't want to alarm) and announcing that the country had just been attacked. All in front of the children. Terry should have asked Ari why Bush didn't put some daylight between himself and those children considering the fact that no one knew what the terrorists might do next and that Bush was at a PUBLICIZED photo-op. There was certainly enough time to do that.

2. Ari's Gonna Spill It Someday

Watching him on several interviews, this isn't the same pole-up-the-ass dude we saw in those briefings and the fact he's trying to book on shows like Daily Show, Fresh Air, Tavis Smiley and several others means this guy isn't hiding from the tough questions.

He's also selling books on hate radio as well...and probably doing quite well...taking this big payday from the dittoheads for his current tripe, but I sense there's another book that Ari's already written...ready to cash in when the time's right.

This dude is slick.

3. Agreed; and he has the weird ability to sound reasonable when he's...

...lying through his teeth.

4. That's why he was hired, after all

He talked about Gannon on Terry's show yesterday too. Said he was cleared by the SS ages ago, wasn't a plant. only left wing conspiracy theorists would think any differently, yada, yada, yada...I wish Terry had said "is it WH policy to accept uncredited male prostitutes as WH correspondents"? but she let him get away with it. Yep-he can lie convincingly-one wonders if he knows truth from fiction at all any more.

5. He Had Enough Information to Vacate the Premises Immediately

Boosh**'s whereabouts were public knowledge.
Perhaps a plane was headed for the school!
It would have been prudent to leave immediately,
get on AF1 and into the air as soon as possible.
The school should have been evacuated immediately
as an obvious terrorist target.

The fact that none of that happened is itself
evidence of MIHOP.
