For a minute there, I thought Scooter’s lawyer had me, but I dazzled him with psychobabble, just like I do my Meet the DePressed audience. Man, I had that jury eating out of my hand. Yeah, I guess this fake cast idea Dan Rather suggested was a good idea after all. Question my integrity, will they? I'll show them. Scooter is goin’ down! Yeah, and then that Cheney is dead meat for sure. Now I have to go find somebody to cut this damned thing off, ‘cause my leg is itching something fierce!

Fox News Channel six o'clock
February 9, 2007 - 18:16 ET by ucFox News Channel six o'clock anchor just made Russert look unbiased and conservative: "Bush's massive crackdown in Baghdad...now underway." Bush's plan is for incrimental increases in troop strengths in unison with Iraqi force strengths. "Massive" only full picture of a six month plan to see if more troops clearing and now staying will make a difference. Bush's plan can't rightly be described as "massively" applied until at least six months has passed. FNC anchor: sure you don't belong at the NYT's? Slight course change towards now standing through the night and days after and not just clearing and letting locals use their local intelligence and neighborhood watches for their own future security. We start a country and want "Adam" in the literature >> Iraqies start a country and want whom most in their fundamental literature?
He/she that doesn't learn from Clinton history/failures is doomed to repeat them.

February 10, 2007 - 00:34 ET by Chicago RepublicanYou know what, BT? Its time Hayes had his own tactics thrown back at him.
Hayes, hence forth on this site, we're going to call you a neofascist. What is a neofascist? Formerly, they were people who were American "Liberals". Now they are people who oppose those who live under ruthless unconstitutional governments throwing off these shackles for freedom, simply because it inconveniences people like you.
What's up NEOFASCIST?
Hayes, face it, you are a booger eater that has no idea how destructive your worldview is. Meanwhile, you pat yourself on the back claiming that you are the smart one on this site.
Hayes, since you like to cut and paste so much, I decided to help you out. Below are the only terms that seem to constitute you responses on NB. So, all you'll need to do is just copy and paste these words to form your response.

ad hominem
By the way, neofascist, we do attack you personally on this site. But we only do that after we knee you in the balls with substance. So, I tell you that you are a neofascist because you are more worried about your personal comfort and how the US looks in the eyes of a world community that is largely run by either statist jackasses or outright tyrants, than whether or not the US succeeds in spreading freedom around the world. And, after doing that, we tell you that you are a booger eater. So, I guess we are attacking you personally. But only as icing on the cake after we tell you how foolish, naive and ignorant your world view is.

February 10, 2007 - 11:41 ET by acaiguanaUh, I dunno rhayes, I'm still stuck on Clinton's lies that led to 9/11/01.
You know, 9/11? The slaughter of nearly 3,000 Americans that his foreign and domestic policies brought us. The failures of Albright, Reno, Tenant, and Clinton to take the necessary steps to protect this country. The introduction by Bill Clinton's administration of the 'wall' between agencies that prevented the sharing of intelligence about the slimy bast*rds that ran into the WTC.
Those lies. And to top everything off, rhayes, Clinton is still lying.
I'm sure if you can vote, either age or needing to have your Civil Rights restored might prevent you, you will vote to put Bill Clinton's wife in the White House so we can suffer another failure of government on such a monumental scale.
You are truly funny rhayes.
In a one paragraph post you have managed to actually demonstrate a shallowness of thought that I was under the impression only a box of rocks or hammers could do.
Ah well, but at times you are entertaining. Like when you post two paragraphs.

The crutches? Yeh, I needed them after the defense lawyer got through showing me how my Republican guests feel after I interviewed them on Meet The Press.
Nah! The crutches never did give me the sympathy bounce I was looking for. The defense lawyer still used a portable Roto Rooter machine on me.

When all is said and done, I’d rather be swallowing nails.
After my court appearance, they say that my credibility is in question. Ridiculous! My credit score is 920.
