Deciding Is Hard Work...
Doing It For The Soldiers
Q Did the military leaders encourage him to just take a little bit more time?
MR. SNOW: No, no, no. The President is the Commander-in-Chief; he issues orders. He decided, frankly, that it's not ready yet. . . .
Q So some might infer that the delay means he doesn't know what to do.
MR. SNOW: No, well, that would be the wrong inference to draw. . . .
Q So just to get this clear, the reason for the delay is, number one, the complexity of the Iraq issue, and not because the President learned something in the last week that changed his mind?
MR. SNOW: That is correct. . . .
Q Is it possible that the President does not want to announce the deployment of thousands of more U.S. troops to Iraq before the holidays?
MR. SNOW: No, it has nothing to do with that. Cynical, but false. . . .
Q. . . . [T]here have been a number of references here about the Baker-Hamilton commission. To what extent is this delay in the expected announcement an effort to put some distance between the release of, and the reaction to that?
MR. SNOW: It has nothing to do with it, period. Nothing. Simply put, before he begins looking at any new materials he wants to first finish reading the Shakespeares he began over the summer.

Randall, watch and learn from the master. Tony Snow, the top professional in your field.

Please... The Decider decide that he can't decide. Snow is a worthless parasite of a WH press secretary. The real truth is that there is no strategy from the Gerbil. He just picking his nose, waiting for his dog, Barney for the answers, and buying time. Hard work?? The Gerbil wouldn't know hard work if it bit him in the butt... Having a hang nail everyday and having pet projects from the POTUS is not hard work.. Our soldiers are sacrificing their lives everyday and second in the name of terror while President Gerbil is warming his toes at the fireplace in the WH. No, it is learning to work smart is the answer. And this President wouldn't know anything about hard work since his daddy gave him everything and learning to work smart was never in George's mentality since his brain has been lost in the closet ever since he crawled into the stolen Presidency!

Fitz,
I don't think you need to worry about Randall and his skills. Randall is doing a great job as your spokesperson.. Barney the dog can do a better job and can replace Snowjob's job as WH presss secretary. At least, the dog can give us some intelligent answers!
*lol*
*lol*
Biloxi,
Snowjob must have no pride that night after night gerbil makes him look like a complete idiot...
Then again he might actually have been one before getting this job!
hee hee hee!
I know noooooooooooooooooooooooooooothing.
Wow~! The topics of discussion today are hilarious! LOL
On one thread A_loon and Anthony were discussing cow & human flatulence until Anthony had to go to bed. On another thread anon and anon were talking about Jan's Teletubbie avatar!
These sound like good topics for Tony Snowjob to answer questions about!!
ROFLMAO!!

Good one!
There is no explanation for Snowjob except he is a human parasite who needs go back to journalism school and take classes on journalism, etiquette, and people skills.. I will be glad when the Gerbil is removed because I will be first to petition to have Snowjob removed from his job.. And I know that buckeroo McFelon is smiling...
OMG! I wish they would remove Spanky's photo from HuffPo!! I'll be glad to see that evildoer in an orange jumpsuit!

Yep...Gerbil must be impeached. In his first press interview, he said " Yes I read it", about the Iraq Study. Stupidity cannot be an excuse for the highest office in the land. War president...The dude doesn't even have a map with the thumb tacks. A great military leader cannot be outguessed. Well, I'm not the brightest lamp on the street, but I knew exactly what he was going to do about the Iraq Study, and is going to do after the holiday.
Update:
Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) update: Admiral John Eisold, Attending Physician of the United States Capitol said, “Senator Tim Johnson has continued to have an uncomplicated post-operative course. Specifically, he has been appropriately responsive to both word and touch. No further surgical intervention has been required.”
Has anyone noticed that Bush went into the invasion without any input but the lies and didn't care what the American people thought. After thousands of senseless deaths of our troops and the truth coming out that he lied about everything. Now he has to take time to think. The Saudi King has given his orders and now it's up to Bush to explain it. Yes the announcement will be made to make it look like it was all Bush's idea but reality is the Saudi King has spoken and it will be done or else.
ain't that the truth, jackie.
georgie porgie ain't giving up the "mission" come hell or high water
Hi Jackie:
Yeah, the Saudi King said.. you do what I say or you get no oil! So, unless gerbil & gang wants to be riding bicycles for many years ...well, gerbil can't ride one anyway..but you get the point!

Letter of condolence & support for Tim Johnson
Senator Tim Johnson
My heartfelt sympathy for you and your family in your recent surgery, and prayers for your total recovery in days to come. It is my wish, and undoubtably the wish of all fellow Americans that you have quality time for recovery that is free from any worries about your job, and that fellow constituents carry out your present agenda untill you feel fit as a fiddle.
As a sitting senator your term doesn't expire untill 2008. So get plenty of rest for the job you'll be returning to. Your country needs you, and demands that you return with renewed vigor for the job that you do so well.
There is a precedent in South Dakota for a Senator having his responsabilities assumed by his staff. In November of 1969,Senator Karl Mundt suffered a severe stroke. He remained in office untill 1972 while,the senator’s responsibilities were shouldered by members of his staff.
Senator Mundts wishes were carried out during his absence from office, which I believe would set a precedent, for your recomendations to be pursued in yours. As you read this please know that "We The People" stand with you, as you have allways stood for us, and we'll be seeing you soon.

Geezerpower,
Thanks for sharing the letters for Senator Johnson. I had emailed his office last night with my letter of support and get well wishes to his family. For a Senator that has never been giving the spotlight, he is now in the spotlight.. But, it is a shame what the GOP are trying to do. Turn this in to politics. The GOP and the gerbil had Senator Johnson practically six feet under and they probably called Hastert to get a cementary plot ready for Mr. Johnson. But, I am glad that his surgery went well and his term is not up until 2008. Thanks for the update...

Geezerpower,
I don't think the gerbil is dealing with a full deck mentally...
The Sunni's and Shi'a don't celebrate Christmas!
Oh and I think you're brighter than you think... You're like me, A few watts off from a full spotlight..

Biloxi,
Thanks for the Update on Senator Johnson..
Some of the GOP were measuring him, digging his grave, and building his tombstone...
Now they're saying not to put your shovel's away yet!
Hi, everyone. Good afternoon.
SPB,
Thanks for that update on Senator Johnson. I hope he continues to improve. As far as Bush reading Shakespeare, give me a break. That is not a priority right now. Anyway,that would be heavier reading for him than the Iraq Report. If he read the report, I suggest he read it again, 'cause I think he missed somethin'. I guess it goes back to what Jackie was saying. He makes up his mind without weighing the facts. That's why I don't buy this thinking things through game he's playing.He's tryin' to play us again.
This is a message from Senator Johnson's wife. She released a statement on her husband's website:
Statement from Mrs. Barbara Johnson
Thursday, December 14, 2006
Washington, DC— Barbara Johnson, wife of U.S. Senator Tim Johnson, wanted to touch base with the people of South Dakota this afternoon to thank them for their support. The office of Senator Tim Johnson has released the following at approximately 5:15 pm ET:
Barbara Johnson said, "I would like to thank the people of South Dakota for their love and support as Tim has met this unexpected challenge. Our family is very pleased with his progress and the excellent care he is receiving at George Washington University Hospital. We ask for your continued prayers as Tim continues through the recovery process."
Mrs. Johnson continued by saying that Senator Johnson was responding to her voice and following directions after the surgery. By this morning, he was reaching for and holding her hand.
Earlier this afternoon, Admiral John Eisold, Attending Physician of the United States Capitol said, "Senator Tim Johnson has continued to have an uncomplicated post-operative course.
Specifically, he has been appropriately responsive to both word and touch. No further surgical intervention has been required."
That's good news and sounds like a quick recovery...
The GOP just can't seem to kick their nasty habits. Republican Senator Mundt spent all his time (2 years) in the care home. Was so incompacitated that he didn't even write his own letter to Nixon.
Calamity Jane and GEF:
Thanks! I just don't trust the media.. It just sad the way the GOP and the media are jumping to conclusions about Senator Johnson.. But, the way the GOP are getting their shovels out for this man.. Yes, he will need to recover but from what Ms Johnson said, her husband's foot is not in the grave. But, the GOP's plans are backfiring because of the outpour from the public of sympathy on this Senator. Again, he is never been in the spotlight like this before..
"MR. SNOW: It has nothing to do with it, period. Nothing. Simply put, before he begins looking at any new materials he wants to first finish reading the Shakespeares he began over the summer."
It's not possible that Mr. Snow is trying to communicate a message to us secretly, is it?
Taking this paragraph by itself, that's what it could appear!
(But my imagination does have a tendency to get carried away ..... I have been known to (erroneously) read into things at times .......!)

Forgot to add. Fox 'News' anchors were salivating like Homer Simpson with a donut or vultures swooping in for a kill. These traitors are disgusting beyond belief...I mean, Fox News had their shovels along with the GOP and the Gerbil..Amazing...
I am glad that Ms. Barbara Johnson release a statement to tell her state her husband's prognosis.. I just tired of the Terri Schiavoist journalism from Fox News...
Maybe Bush hasn't even read the Iraq Report. It would be "new material".
I am very happy to hear the good reports about Senator Johnson.
"Thank You" to all who prayed for him, kept him in your thoughts, wrote letters of encouragement, or helped in any other way.

"Maybe Bush hasn't even read the Iraq Report. It would be "new material".
And he hasn't still finish reading My Pet Goat either..
*lol*
Bilooxi
I just watched the fox news video. The dude that was supposed to be a doctor, looked like an old kgb man. As he described the horrors of the surgery The woman beside him gave out with appalling expressions when the camera panned over to her....Sick, is all I can can say about it...
Oh god, Geezerpower... LOL!
I only watched Fox News twice: 1. with the Gerbil surprised visit to Iraq in the middle of the night and the rubber turkey photo-op. and the other is when Bill Clinton was interviewed on Fox News Sunday and bullied by the reporter who grilled him on 9/11 and bin Laden.. Other than that, Fox News is just news propaganda with a bunch of asswipes as journalists. And the king asswipe is Bill the pill O'Reilly...
Good Evening All,
that's a subject sure to get me fired up even after a hectic day. tomorrow is wrap day and I can say I did it for democracy ;-)
I'm giving the BOE a good mark for quality, they are really good people except for leader Guido. I'm giving him a grade too.
Bush is such a moron, its just mind blowing, isn't it? Not a shred of decency in him. The Dems and Reps I'm seeing are sickened by his behavior on the wars. They all want our troops out.
Wait until the hill sees our new military families campaign to go throughout the fall-we keep telling them they will give in on this issue before we do.
The new gov sees it that way too/
I Do Hope that everything is on the up and up, regarding the Senator.
Some far-fetched and worrisome thoughts did cross my mind ..... I think it was Patriot Girl's post that got me started...
(My imagination again........!! SHEESH!!!!!)
Anyway, it's a good thing I know that in the end, *Everything* Will Be Okay!
Stephanie
Well fox might as well hang on to their shovels. They might have to dig their way out of O reilly's bull sh*t.,,lol
Hi Geezer:

Here we are Geezerpower, I hope you brought the 20 something year olds..

Geezerpower,
I have the Robert Greenwald DVD documentary about Fox news called Outfoxed. It is amazing how Murdoch created such a powerful propaganda network news and the manipulation of news that they do especially with the 2000 Presidential election.. And Hannity is another one that is an asswipe that is a mini-me of Pill O'Reilly...

All ya need is a couple of bucks worth of regular to make it to the drive and eats though...A classy ride. you would have seen me at the 5 Spot in my 35 Chevy coupe with a full load Jimmy truck engine in it.
It's storming here in Orygun. The lights are flickering, so I might have a quiet evening by lamplight. Supposed to get 60 mph winds.

My brother in Oregon just called me a few minutes ago and said it was very windy...raining, and cold!!
GEF that's it. I remember the bumpers...lol C:

LOLMAO*)
so far...so good, guess i'll get the kerosene lamp, and find the cat. he's outside, probably hiding in the bushes...
GEF:
Yes, you do call them as you see them! LOL Which is great!! :)
GEF
I think we'll have to go back in time to experience anything even resembling freedom. I can tell you one thing. It isn't like the fifties anymore...
At one time in history allmost all of the West coast was Oregon, but we had to give a lot of it back.
Geezerpower,

Geezerpower,
Well I heard you folks there were at the forefront of Freedom fighting..

Geezerpower,
Here's one of the images from back then..
Serf Management!
SQ
If you enjoy the storms, you're missing a good time. It feels good to be on the inside of the window. Right now I'm afraid of the Shazam trip. Could end up taking a dip in the great lake...Would I have to go to court? Patrick might be mad at me like Roger...lOL
