Did anyone else see this?

"He yelled at me to get the belt off. 'I told you to get the belt off.' So I took the belt off. He ran his hands down over and pulled the pants down, they went down around my ankle," Perry said.

At that point, Perry was standing in his underwear in public view. He asked to see a supervisor. That made things worse.

"She was yelling 'I have power, I have power, I have power," Perry said. The
power to stop him from flying to Florida with his wife that day to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Link (on Drudge today)

This is exhibit A of the government run amok. The TSA is seemingly accountable to no one. Their most obvious function appears to be humiliating passengers.

I wish more people would say what they mean instead of endlessly bloviating with language that does nothing but obfuscate their true intent (like that!)

The truth is that Pres. Bush picked a perfect analogy. I can think of others that would fit but shouldn't be printed.

The Silly Savage has his tail between his legs, slinking away from some astonishing thoughtless (even for him) statements about children and autism.  After stating that he stands behind his remarks, now he's claiming that Media Matters for America took his comments out of context.  Despite the fact the website carries a complete transcript of what he said.   Guess he couldn't just claim he was misquoted or blame it on his translator.

How weak!  Why can't he just man-up and admit his remarks were stupid and thoughtless?  Instead he has to read the Bible on the air for an hour and compare himself to an Old Testament Prophet?

Pathetic...

I was hoping some one else noticed this. The today show played it in the first 10 mins of the show, but the way they promoted the clip, I thought that Bush had used the 'N' word. But I think they were only trying to compare his remarks to Jesse as a tease. because when I saw it, I said to myself ..big deal!

Great analogy. 

I think it was also great to see ol' W.'s charisma in full effect. It's been awhile. 

The comment's after the Wall Street analogy were probably even better. 

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

I've been hearing about the National Enquirer scooping the dirt on potential VP pick John Edwards. Guess he puts the vice into president!

Unfortunately the NE site seems to be blocked ouside the USA. It's didn't used to be. So much for the WORLD WIDE WEB.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

Did you guys hear about Novak hitting someone with his car and not even realizing it?

Here's a topic that interests me: is McCain's campaign being run by idiots?

Obama's minions plan a world tour aboard "O-Force One" with photo ops galore, speeches in historic places, and enough fluff to snow even the most grizzled and urbane pundit. Meanwhile, McCain's gang of fools manage to think up a visit to an oil rig that's in the middle of a hurricane.

What complete imbecile thought that one up? More importantly, why does McCain not do something about the fools, imbeciles, and morons that are managing and selling his image to the public? Something serious needs to be done here.

Are there no conservatives with a flair for selling ideas and personnae to the public?

John McCain, one of the best steps you could take to improve the efficacy of your campaign would be to hire Charles Krauthammer to supply you with ideas and speeches. Charles is a genius and a man of true substance, with the gift of eloquence. You need someone like him in your campaign. Thus far, you seem to have trotted out only marginally talented amateurs as wordsmiths and idealogues.

For God's sake, hire Charles!

Just a hypothetical:  If Obama gets elected despite his recent gaffes which are being overlooked/omitted by the Old Media, then he does something majorly stupid while in office.  Will people write off completely the Old Media and blame them for controlling/manipulating the election? The media is trying to demonstrate their power which in turn could be their demise.

It might not have been explained in all its nuances but do you get my point?

I know I've already written them off and only surprised when they do a decent story.

Visiting the mistress & his love child. Over the years, and even before they busted Limbaugh, my respect for the National Enquirer has only increased. I think it's due to the great Mike Walker's excellent leadership. People may call this stuff "tabloid," but if the Enquirer didn't do this basic journalism then nobody would, and a variety of liars would get away with lies. Kudos again, Enquirer.

The tax & spend drug war looks racist in the real world.
