		<description>What&#039;s that smell?

There are some great attempts at damage control sprinkled in here with the rest of the comedy.

How many DNC happy meals can you all eat over and over?  Don&#039;t you get tired of the Sandy Berger served with a super-sized side of French lies?

So, why would Sandy Berger thieve and destroy Top Secret Classified documents related to islamic terror before they were to be viewed by the 9/11 commission(smokejumpers)?

Berger helping Bush cover-up the world domination plan?

Could &#039;marginalia&#039; have anything to do with it?  What was written in the margins of this &quot;after action report&quot; passed around the different branches by Clark?   WTF needed to be &#039;disappeared&#039; by Sandy Scissorhands Bergler?

That smell is coming from all you poor sheep!  You aware that your W psychosis has turned the corner and gone gangrenous? The only thing that changes during your W groundhog day sickness is the growing stench of your festering wound AND the growing list of failed attempts at political poo-poo.

Operation:&#039;Able damage control&#039; on condition DELTA yet?

If not, you better wake up all the support staff and get to work!  All the old Waco smoke-jumpers are just as ineffective as they were when they tried to cover-up what happened at Waco.  Did they not read Hillary&#039;s memos titled &quot;how to succeed with your cover-up&quot;?  You can probably request a copy with helpful illustrations of Vincent Foster for a &#039;complete picture&#039; of how to succeed with your cover-up if you&#039;re having trouble.

Also, here is a tip!

Leave all those maggots on you alone as they will help you with your gangrene. ; )</description>

		<description>Weldon as Vice Chair of the Armed Services used US Taxpayer money to bribe military personnel to invent a chart. 

It&#039;s pretty damn obvious he did .. my question is, when do we get to roast him alive?</description>

		<description>[...] That being the case, you could almost predict what would happen once Weldon opened his mouth about his mythical chart&#8212;i.e. such comic moments as his apparently bogus claim that he gave his one and only copy of the chart to Stephen Hadley at the NSC (Hadley: &#8220;No comment&#8221;), or the hearsay evidence from an alleged &#8220;whistleblower&#8221; that would be hyped to the skies by the conservative media, but never substantiated (can you say &#8220;Bill Burkett&#8221;?) And of course, let&#8217;s not forget the relentless, repetitive sliming of Jamie Gorelick and the 9/11 Commission&#8212;which still hasn&#8217;t stopped, even though the entire story has pretty much fallen apart.

		<description>The FBI knew about Atta anyway.  Agent John O&#039;Neill raised all the red flags about the coming catastrophe of 9/11, but Louis &quot;Ruby Ridge&quot; Freeh and his top deputy ignored him.  Why?  Because Agent O&#039;Neill was having an affair which didn&#039;t set well with the pious Freeh.  In fact, I believe Mr. Freeh is a member of Opus Dei, the extremely right wing sect of the Catholic Church.  Also, Freeh hated Bill Clinton&#039;s guts.</description>

		<description>I sent Podhoretz an email this morning and he responded with:

&quot;Tell you what. You read every post I&#039;ve written about Able Danger, including the ones where I turned very skeptical very fast, and then you e-mail me back and tell me you think I&#039;m a dishonest liar.&quot;

So I read them and responded to him with among other things:  

&quot;Remember, this is an apology to the staff, not to the
commissioners..&quot;

Why no apology to the commissioners? It&#039;s obvious Weldon is a whackjob yet you&#039;ve been smearing Gorelick, the whole commission and Clinton&#039;s anti terrorism efforts by association based on his and Shaffer&#039;s claims.

Your evasions notwithstanding suggestions, innuendo, and rumor mongering are your stock in trade.

Dishonest liar is redundunt. Shill with little regard for the truth would be more appropriate.

Now John doesn&#039;t want to be my new best friend. I get so confused sometimes. Mom always says I should be nice to the other kids but Dad says I should stand up to bullies. It&#039;s hard to know where to draw the line. Was I too harsh?</description>

		<description>[...] Responding to emails from Think Progress readers, the National Reviewâ€™s John Podhoretz finally admitted what he&#8217;s been saying about Jamie Gorelick&#8217;s 1995 memo isn&#8217;t true. He still, however, doesnâ€™t understand the scope of his error. And, in typical Podhoretz fashion, spends a lot more time insulting the people who pointed out his mistake than apologizing:  OKAY, THE CRAZIES GOT ME OVER AN ADVERB [JPod] Evidently, among the 12,000 or so words I have written on the Able Danger matter on this website, I wrote a sentence in which I used the word &#8220;solely&#8221; &#8212; to wit, &#8220;I donâ€™t really understand all of it, but the evidence suggests that the Able Danger information could and should have been shared with the FBI and wasnâ€™t â€” solely owing to the &#8216;raising&#8217; of the intelligence wall that was done by Jamie Gorelick herself in 1995.&#8221; That was hyperbolic, as it certainly was not &#8220;solely&#8221; the result of the raising of the &#8220;wall.&#8221; But the sentence as written was conditional, as I said at its beginning that I didn&#8217;t understand all of it, and that the evidence &#8220;suggested&#8221; something. That&#8217;s hardly a definitive statement of anything, though Leftoid robots doubtless can&#8217;t understand this because they only act on binary statements. [...]</description>

These feces flinging, rouge-butted monkeys who have hijacked conservatism and the GOP can be put to rest. That will settle it.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know who&#039;s lying on the right anymore. The guy with the latest &quot;Hilary Hater&#039;s Guide&quot; was on Franken and Franken and Conason exposed the misinformation and shoddy work. Pitiful book. He didn&#039;t even have names correct and described people who he had never seen based on what he was told by Lord knows which Hillary hater.

He was writing propaganda for that wingnut easy money no doubt, but I got the feeling that he wasn&#039;t lying so much as we just buying into the lies and propaganda the right has built up over the last 25 years. It is layered on them. I am not saying anyone intended it, but the right is now literally under a form of information control which places them in a cultic mindset. They have been trained to only trust the likes of Rush, FOX and Savage and anyone who tells them liberals are their problem. Millions live in a bubble. It&#039;s a huge national security problem. 

Kind of like the way Wallace ran the bigots around in the 60s, tell them someone else is screwing them till they buy it. The right isn&#039;t crazy, and they don&#039;t all lie, they just don&#039;t see reality and will defend the cult and leader at all costs.

When you are trained to believe God is on your side, you will do anything, rationalize anything.

So be kind, Podhoretz has carried &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iapprovethismessiah.com/2004/10/neocon-commentator-i-had-to-carry.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;water for a madman&lt;/a&gt;, he can rationalize anything.</description>

		<description>Seems I recall Gorelick&#039;s memo being investigated by the 9/11 commission. The conclusion reached by all the panel members was: A - It was a clarification of existing procedures and B - It made the sharing of info easier between the affected agencies. To me, or any other reasonable person, it would seem the wall was lowered, not raised. Can someone explain why the issue has arisen again, with the exact same, debunked, claims that it&#039;s all Bill Clinton&#039;s fault? Can&#039;t anything be settled and put to rest?</description>

		<description>REgarding Bill Weld.

Weld privately contacted the head of the Conservative party in New York, a nut job named Michael Long.  Weld then announces that he will run for governor.  (Spitzer should clock him though on Spitzer&#039;s merits)

Weld is doing the old Ridge, Schwarzaneggar, Pataki, Whitman, Rowland, Collins, Snowe, Chafee, Romney, trick.  The conservatives publically call him too liberal but privately back him because he&#039;s actually one of them, the media calls him moderate or liberal just because he says he&#039;s pro choice and pro gay rights.  At the same time Weld and every other person on this list supports ultra right wing policies on economic issues and other social issues and then appoint RW judges who will strike down laws protecting women&#039;s right to choose and gay rights.

Have any of you caught on yet?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think Podhoretz lied.  I think that he just didn&#039;t know what the hell he was talking about, and when he first heard this story, he wrongly linked it to the Gorelick thing.  I&#039;ll admit that I kind of made that mistake...for about five seconds, and then I remembered that the Gorelick thing didn&#039;t involve the Defense Department.  So I think that Pod and the others made that same initial mistake, and now they&#039;re too embarrassed to admit it.

These people are desperate for any facts which can back their case, and they refuse to show weakness by backing down now.  They know that we&#039;ll just see this as our opprotunity to continue attack, and they&#039;re sure that we&#039;re in the last throes of our liberalism.  If they can just hold out for a few weeks longer, we&#039;ll finally give up our political insurgency, and they can, at last, get out of their propaganda-mindset and once again see reality for what it really is.</description>

		<description>Technically, 1 week, 3 hours and 8 minutes IS &quot;more than a week.&quot; So perhaps he changed his opinion immediately after he posted last Friday&#039;s story?</description>

		<description>Poderhatz says &quot;Donâ€™t read anything. Just continue to serve as an e-mail robot. Itâ€™s probably the best you guys can do&quot;, and yet it is the righties who are impatient with those pesky little &quot;details&quot; that reveal the truth.  Just this week Newt Gingrich advised Republicans to avoid debating details with Liberals, and offered some slogan engineering as a substitute for a close examination of the facts.  E-bots, indeed.   Well... Mr. Poderhatz is getting an email from each this robot tonight.</description>
