is disintergating. I guess the Republicans are finding out they just can't do anything they damn well please and get away with it. These guys make Nixon-Agnew look like choir boys. Actually all Agnew did was take kick-backs from Maryland contractors.

Be interesting to see if they can escape without the administration being totally torn apart. Of course Bush could get the Army behind him and seize the government for the good of the republic.

What happened now? Delay bounce some checks?

Well the Prez had a nicely staged meeting with soldiers in Iraq I saw...they told the soldiers before hand what the questions were so they could rehearse...

I'm sure only republican presidents have staged photo ops.

Note the soldiers fingers...

dang nabit! what happened???

rhoonah, you are correct, they all do it. In fact I wish they would just stop staging these things. If you want to be honest and truthful, then just have the talk, no rehearsing, no holds barred...say things honest, rational truthful.

But that wont happen.

nope. they all do. but i hate it. what are they afraid of? what questions are they afraid the people would ask and they can't answer. to me it's controlling the press. don' t we have a constitution prohibiting that?

Honest ones......at least that would be my guess.

oh they worry about someone actually ruining the support or ruining the positive side or the morale. Wouldnt want anyone actually saying the administration was wrong...bad for morale.

Bush knows his figures are tanking. His party is losing control. Then you got all that mess with Rove and Frist and Delay that is making the party look bad.

Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk she offers question time.

One little boy puts up his hand. The Senator asks him what his name is.

"Kenneth."

"And what is your question, Kenneth?"

"I have three questions: First - whatever happened to your medical health care plan? Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office? And, Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?"

Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess. When they resume Hillary says, "Okay where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?"

A different little boy puts his hand up; Hillary points him out and asks him what his name is.

"Larry."

"And what is your question, Larry?"

"I have five questions: First - whatever happened to your medical health care plan? Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office? Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House? Fourth - why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And, Fifth - what happened to Kenneth?
