Whoaaa...Ron Suskind is on CSPAN now! 7:32 AM CDT

[Gabi Hayes]

this is going to be fanTAStic!

highest recommend

it's streamable if you don't have cable

must watch

first question: Wash Post says Bush regime calls you a liar!

[Lint Head]

1. You don't win a Pulitzer Prize by making crap up.

Bush, Rove, Cheney and Rumsfeld should be in jail now! :dem:

[Gabi Hayes]

3. heh.....you don't remember Janet Cooke, do you?

it does happen, but you're right, mostly

[Gabi Hayes]

2. CNN just had one of the Obama bashing authors on. any bets as to

whether they'll have Suskind on?

I can't imagine they'd be that cynical not to, cause this book is already number 15 on amazon, but we'll see

host is reading Tenet's denial right now

Suskind's response: Iraqi intel chief has been hidden for five years (after paying five million in hush money to him...he was the Jack of Diamonds). why did they let him go in the first place? he can't wait for this to get out in the open

[Gabi Hayes]

4. first caller wants to know about the NIger letter forgery.

wants to know if it went back to the WH.

brings it back to the Habush letter, and how US wasn't too anxious to prove the negative of no WMDs....didn't deal with the Niger letter

[Heather MC]

5. Why do they Repeat White House talking points as facts

Bush Regime has said the exact same thing about everyone who writes a book against them.

I mean come on you don't even have to read the white house emails anymore to know exactly what they are going to say
"not the scott I knew"
"If he was unhappy he should have said something"
"Lies lies lies"

typical

[CitizenPatriot]

14. yes

and did you notice an eerie similarity to those comments and the typical ignorant comment after a sexual harassment suit/spousal abuse charge/rape charge/etc? Oh, dear. "They should have said something" i.e., " She didn't object so it's her fault."

...so we're to believe they didn't say anything, and that you would have done the right thing if they had? and why is that even an issue? the issue isn't whether so and so was "happy". the issue is....you've been accused of a crime. responde.

you've got nothing to say about the actual charge? gee....

[Heather MC]

6. Ha ha ha ha this woman just called in and said Jim Moron went over dar and warned

Suddam to get rid of his WMD's and that's why they didn't find any
:rofl:

[Gabi Hayes]

7. after he stood under a TREE with some other guy!

and that was the most sense she made.

that was pretty fffing funny, yes?

should I mention the thick drawl? that made her sound even more intelligent

ducks head....

[Heather MC]

11. Did you get the last guy's website?

http://www.storminnorm.com/home.php

Here is a little diddy from the site
Micro-Grids: Can you name the candidate that is addressing this issue? Micro-Grids for our military-industrial complex? Just what is our Pentagon planning these days with renewable energy and its use for every military installation throughout the world? It would seem to me that whatever they're doing, every city in America should be included, when it comes to energy! I know one thing for certain: everything related to energy is going to become very expensive - and there's not one candidate that will confront what I am stating here. Worse, what they think will work, won't come fast enough! That, you can bet on!

Operation Twist: Most of you probably never heard of that "monetary procedure" - rest assured, as our dollar continues to decline in value, along with those energy costs which continue their unlimited skyward journey, and that nasty subprime fiasco swells in ever larger numbers - this Federal Reserve Chairman will revisit this very unfavorable technique that Wall St. dreads - think of it as another ponzi scheme "just to keep the game going"! Isn't it interesting how no one ever asks just how America arrived where we are today? Who'd ever think that Washington DC abandoned America's Middle Class? More importantly, which political party really can salvage it? Forget about "saving it" - they blew that chance years ago and I can name every bastard that allowed it to happen; can you? In the meantime, keep listening to the lies they tell - after all,like I always say,they count on it!

"Let's Roll The Dice!" I know for a fact that the "magic is over" when it comes to our monetary system, which is controlled by that private organization known as the Federal Reserve System!

Corny Capitalism: Thats what its all about with this Fed Bail Out for Bear Stearns! Keeping their "boyz" in the game is a wonderful thing, when you have the keys to the printing presses! It's amazing how quickly they always can save themselves - of course, at the expense of America's Middle Class, or what's left of it, right? There's two words that come to my mind when I think of our middle class. Care to know what they are? E-mail me... I'll tell you!

Are we Americans That Stupid when it comes to Politics? YES! Every day you can tune in and hear it over and over and over again: stupid white people talking about race relations in our beloved USA - a nation at the brink of economic peril with huge energy shortages; schools that don't work, much less educate; plus that growing uneducated work force of "forty somethings" (mostly fat honkies! that's right, honkies! Oh, there's a lot more I could add here, but what purpose would it really serve?) But when I hear these fucking religious zealots from both sides, I go fucking ballistic! With their pompous "point of view"- Do rich white people control America? Answer is: Fucking YES! Do white people control most of Europe? Fucking YES again! Do these rich white motherfuckers make war on nations they know they can beat? Fucking Yes! I got news for you stupid white motherfuckers... it's been that way since Adam fucked Eve! So, fast-forward to this church in Chicago - big fucking deal! It's the "battle of the elites" - pure and simple! The number one question I have for you today is: Is Obama too far ahead for this election to be stolen? Think about that... only if you're white!

[Gabi Hayes]

13. thanks....forgot to check that. he was pretty amped up, yes?

I'll bet he gets lots of requests for speaking engagements, yes?

what's going on in Arlington these days?

I lived there for fifteen years, and things changed mightily during that time, mostly for the worse

Lebanese Taverna still there?

Little Saigon (doubt it)?

[Heather MC]

15. I am a mom I don't get out much anymore, but

I like Arlington the school systems are top notch, the traffic sucks and housing and taxes are way too high. but I live in a cute area with playgrounds and nice small neighborhood school. complete with sidewalks, alot of Over priced neighborhoods don't have sidewalks
so I am happy and i got my house in 2001 before the over inflated market boom and inevitable crash
:)

[Gabi Hayes]

17. lucky you, with the house.... most of my friends there bought in a long time ago,

and are still sitting on a pile of cash

I'll bet I know your neighborhood: I lived on John Marshall Dr., over by Williamsburg Jr High.....Highland st., off rt. 50..... Vernon st., near glebe and Washington, before the condos hit..... and 11th street, just north of Georg Mason

anywhere near you?

I miss living there....used to ride my bike throught Ft. Meyer/Cemetery/then to the bike path, sometimes down to Mt. Vernon.

[WinkyDink]

12. Response: Well, then if SH GOT RID of them, why did Bush INVADE, you stupid COW?

[flaminbats]

8. destroying Kerry and Obama isn't good enough!

now they want to slime FDR, JFK, and LBJ so they can dismantle programs like Social Security and Medicare! Never mind that Clinton left our country with massive surpluses and a booming economy, the cult of Reaganomics still thinks higher deficits and more military spending makes a politician more patriotic. They will never acknowledge that Reagan's policies only strengthened terrorists while making our country more vulnerable. They will never acknowledge that it was Bush's failure as the commander-in-chief that made 9/11 possible!

[Mike Nelson]

9. This has always been so obvious

What the Bush people did. I don't understand why more people don't "get" it. Especially, the Dems in Congress. Obama should be talking about putting these people on trial. Congress should be trying to arrest Bush and Cheney.

[Gabi Hayes]

10. man, that was superlative....inspirational, even.

The Way of the World deals, eventually, with the idea the US can, if it wills, to learn the way of the world, and by standing on the mountain (its position of power and wealth), have a positive impact on the vast majority of the people living in the valley, as they strive to reach the peak.

if we don't become a little more even handed, generous in the way we deal with such people from our position of strength, things are going get even worse.

can't paraphrase exactly, but it was an interesting ending to the story

did anybody hear him talk of the heartbreaking story of Benazir Bhutto's entreaty to CHENEY, begging him to call Musharraf, and get him to protect her when she came back to Pakistan? he told of how she'd been less than stellar as a leader in the past (mentioned her corruption), but that she'd learned the lessons of Ghandi, of MLK, and realized that her country must deal with those 'in the valley.' we all know how that story ended.

16. I'm watching the video from earlier

http://www.c-span.org/

Scroll down to the "Watch - from Earlier" link down on the right. He's unflappable. Seriously answers questions and wild statements made by a couple of right wing callers. Very respectful.

I'm glad I ordered the book yesterday right away during his interview on Countdown.
