TERRA! TERRA! TERRA!

[Mr_Spock]

This is the single most desperate act I've seen from a President since Richard Millhouse Nixon. Is there anybody with any intellectual capability whatsoever that can not see through this latest attempt at a distraction? I guess this is a good sign - a last desperate act as his ship starts to sink. Mr. Bush, even a Republican Congress won't authorize a war with Iran - so don't even ask. Give your little speech and then go do the honorable thing - do what's best for the country. Perhaps your Gawd will forgive your sins.

1. Now the boys are trying to scare us again!!

Oh, no - it's the NYC terra thing again. :eyes:

Only thing I'm afraid of is that Bush is in cahoots with this band of thugs....

2. God HATES liars. He won't be forgiven, nor will Rove, Cheney

and all others who have contributed to the lies of this current maladministration.

3. Yep it is becoming more and more ahem

4. Did you hear what Mayor Bloomberg just said?

Listening to his press conference on Randi's show. He said a news channel had this information ("credible" terror threat) two days ago, but they were told to "hold it for operational reasons." Well, now I know what the operation was: DON'T LOOK AT KARL!!! LOOK OVER THERE, OVER THERE, ANYWHERE BUT HERE!

God, the people are just a piece of work!

5. Gee, just as the Rove Grand Jury testimony gets media attention n/t

[paineinthearse]

10. Rove is going back to the GJ for the 4th time tomorrow morning

11. Prescisely - the media is now obsessed with the terror alert

6. It's a blatant grab for poll numbers. Cheap trick at peoples expense.

7. Nixon wasn't close.

Every MSM station is doing 30 minutes on the bird flue. Even CNBC, a financial program, is following the talking points.

8. I wonder if most people know about the movie "Tora! Tora! Tora!"

That you are mocking in your thread title?

Tora! Tora! Tora!

(1970)

Tagline: The incredible attack on Pearl Harbor as told from both the American and Japanese sides.

Plot Outline: A dramatization of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the series of American blunders that allowed it to happen.

I see the relationship to present day in the plot as well :D

Edit: oh, and guess who was President when this movie came out :D

[Mr_Spock]

12. Tora! Tora! Tora! - 1970 - that would be Richard M. Nixon!

What a coincidence :D

[paineinthearse]

9. I'm afraid this is but the first step in a long list of distractions yet..

...to come.

The deeper their asses get in the muck, the more "terra" events there will be.

13. He can't "do the honorable thing--do what's best for the country"

There aren't enough Samurai head-choppers out there to hold a mass Seppuku ceremony for the whole Bush administration.

14. Prediction: Designers will come out with lines of clear plastic clothing

and accessories, documenting for posterity the absurdity of our turn-of-the-century paranoid culture. Museum exhibits of the GW Bush Era will feature clear plastic backpacks, handbags, briefcases, and luggage--perfect for expediting passage through long lines at airports, commuter trains, and subway turnstiles.

[Mr_Spock]

15. That's a good idea!

Transparent luggage! Make those x-ray machines obsolete :D

[EFerrari]

16. When confronted with Fearless Misleader's last words,

my husband and I could only stand and salute.

:puke:

[Swamp Rat]

17. The GOP is complicit.

[Mr_Spock]

20. I think your bumper sticker is a bit too subtle...

:rofl:!!

[Swamp Rat]

21. How do I tone it up?

:D

[Mr_Spock]

22. Dayum, you made her look damn scary!

I hope she isn't confirmed - ewww!

[mshasta]

25. wow extream reptilians!

[BuyingThyme]

18. What's next? More noise about a Gay-hate amendment?

[burythehatchet]

19. you KNOW this is not the most desperate act

blowing up Americans is the MOST desperate act

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. brother in law and I were talking

they have babies so he missed teh entertainment today... rove he is going.... terra what was it two minutes later and half an hour before teh east coast nightly news.

We know he is cornered and desperate and were thinking, we hope there is a Kissinger in teh WH... after all, the old man has many deffects but he had enough foresight to realize nixon was not stable and might ahem, order the Pentaogon to unleah hell...

We were going who might be the equivalent... and after racking brains we concluded the best candidate is actually Rice....

But we will not be too surprsised by this fuckers doing something ahem dramatic.

[electron_blue]

24. rubber baby buggy bumpers

Sorry - that's all I can think of as I see this latest alert. I just imagine Bush sitting in a corner flubbering his lips with his fingers, saying this over and over again.
