"Tommy Franks is going to be here, but he's not going to talk about war"
Diane Sawyer said this this morning.

There's a crisis situation in Iraq, which has been utterly ignored for a week.

A news program has the former supreme commander on as a guest, but he's "not going to talk about war," he's going to talk about life lessons or some crap like that.

And he's going to sing! No shit, that's what she said. Country music I think.

2. He's Making a Fool of Himself
If Tommy Franks becomes a popular singer with that mug, there's hope for the rest of us! I'm going to take guitar lessons.

4. Keyes sang "Over the Rainbow" on Sludge
last night. Then we have Ashcroft's wailing in F/911, now Tommy Frank's?

5. And later, some tips on playing the fiddle while a nation burns
{Fake newsreader laugh} Ah ha ha ha, thanks, Diane!

You know, I can actually remember a time when news programs indulged in something called "news."

6. I see where he's backed off his defense of John Kerry
Last week he said "Absolutely!" when asked if Kerry was fit to be C-I-C. Now he's waffling. He must have gotten a phone call.

8. I saw that on Letterman when he was
promoting his book. Letterman was soft that night.

7. Maybe Franks could reiterate his best line...
"Douglas Feith is the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth".
I'd like to hear that one again!
