So that's how you receive love and respect in the world today, get some dirtbag like Norm Coleman or Dan Burton to attack you.

5. Did American Weasels at the UN hang their heads in shame while Kofi Annan

was receiving his well earned and most deserved standing ovation?

Most of all ... DID THE BUSH BOY LISTEN TO THE FLOWER OF FREEDOM AS IT EXPLODED IN A STANDING OVATION TO A MAN WHO HAS FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD, KOFI ANNAN, ROSE TO SPEAK TO THE UNITED NATIONS?

DID THE GEORGE BUSH GOONS LISTEN TO THE WORLD AND ITS STANDING UP TO THE BUSH BOY IN REBELLION AGAINST HIS POLICIES, HIS DICTATORSHIP, HIS UNILATERALISM, HIS REPULSIVE RAPE OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND HIS VIOLATION OF DECENCY IN GOVERNING?

Did Norm Coleman hang his head in shame for doing the Bush Boy's dirty work?

You Go Mr. Annan! The world knows who you are and it is not buying the mud that the Bush Goons are trying to cover you up in.

6. What Coleman deserves.

That pig deserves to be pelted with eggs and rotten tomatoes wherever it goes.

BTW--Does Norm's beard still live in New York?

7. Great news.

He certainly deserved it. We have got to get *ush & Company out of our White House and into the big house.

Peace

8. Coleman tried to make his case Friday on the NewsHour

He had nothing. His whole argument rested on the fact that Annan headed the UN during the oil for food scandal, and that Annan's son works for a Swiss firm somehow connected to the story. Is it possible that he and the other Republicans don't see the hypocrisy of their statements---Bush during the Iraq war, Rumsfeld and Abu Graib, the White House Valerie Plame leak. . . need I go on? I feel like Alice through the looking glass, watching a world of alternate reality where nothing makes sense.
