1. Stupid twit.

[zbdent]

17. Could you be more specific?

Talking about Wolfie? Jr.? Puffy McMoonface?

Or are you just spouting about any other Repuke talking head, say, Hannity?

:evilgrin:

[BrklynLiberal]

18. Bush, of course. Sorry for the vagueness.

[zbdent]

24. JK - having a little fun

when you talk about a "stupid twit", it could mean a whole passle of Republicans - and I was just having a little fun at your expense.

I'm sorry if you thought I was being nasty . . .

No link yet, looking

4. Here's the quote

From an AP story just out on the wire:

“Congressman Murtha is a respected veteran and politician who
has a record of supporting a strong America,” said White House
press secretary Scott McClellan. “So it is baffling that he is
endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme
liberal wing of the Democratic Party.”

[kliljedahl]

5. Thanks

beat me to it. Got the link to the report?

9. The imbeciles at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. have lost it completely.

Put a fork in Bush and Cheney. They are both overdone.

11. Am I missing something?

“Congressman Murtha is a respected veteran and politician who has a record of supporting a strong America,” said White House press secretary Scott McClellan. “So it is baffling that he is
endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the <b>extreme
liberal wing of the Democratic Party</b>.”

Huh?

Does this mean that the 60% of the American people that oppose the Iraq War and want the troops home are part of the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic Party?

That's news to me... but 2006 should be pretty easy with that revelation!

[DanCa]

19. about 2006 election we still got to becareful

The repukes are on top of a wounded elephant right now. Thats when the scum suckers are at thier most dangerous.

[TheGunslinger]

12. Straight out of Limbaugh's playbook! Is Rove not being consulted?

This sounds 3rd-gradish. No way Rove would stoop to something so ridiculous. Stupid is something Rove is not.

[mtnester]

13. God they fear Michael Moore...he scares the HELL out of them

I would be honored to be compared to him in a sentence.

[Scout1071]

22. Oh. No. They. Didn't.

You know what? Bring. It. On.

I'm starting to think it doesn't matter any longer what we do here at DU, DKos and beyond. He is going to take himself down. His mouth is his own shovel.

He and Dick will testify......and one day it will be under oath. They don't know how to do anything other than be phony and lie. Lie they have and lie they will. Shame they have brought. It's no longer in their hands. It's fate. And fate alone.

I now know it in my core. They will resign.

[Jeanette in FL]

23. They are grasping for anything now

Obviously, they think that by throwing out the "Michael Moore" word, that people will back away from the stance of Congressman Murtha. How wrong and how desparate they are becoming. MM must be delighted to be referenced in a Whitehouse Press Release.

[FizzFuzz]

6. Lame. So effing L. A. M. E.

[OKDem08]

7. I thought that was a joke when I first read it.

I'm going to donate to DU in honor of the total and complete meltdown of the failed * administration.

[peekaloo]

8. LOL. At least he didn't call him fat.

You know Michael Moore is digging the hell out of this!

[progressivebydesign]

10. Does he realize what an asshole he's sounding like?????

Did he and Rove have a spat? Cuz no intelligent human could be giving that dipshit that kind of advice. He's just digging himself deeper into that LowRatingLand.

[deadparrot]

14. Now *this* gets me in a holiday mood.

*hums Deck the Halls*

[mb7588a]

15. That's not a white house statement,

that's a "campaign" statement.

They're no longer in a position of leading, they're in a position of bleeding. (feel free to quote me on that one.)

[kliljedahl]

16. Good analogy

N/T

[gauguin57]

20. Mmmm ... that's a cute pic of Russ Feingold.

Cute cute cute.

[JackBeck]

21. It doesn't matter anymore. No one is paying attention to them.

This country doesn't trust them anymore. We haven't for a very long time.

WHIG and PNAC got away with blatantly doing things right in front of our eyes, and we've been here watching them every step of the way.

And finally, FINALLY, the rest of this country can't deny what the reality is anymore. They are beginning to see families in their communities being interrupted and changed.

[livetohike]

25. Baffled? They are baffled

They are scratching their heads. They just can't understand it.

:sarcasm:

Here's to Murtha and Michael Moore and all the extreme liberals!

:toast:

[VaYallaDawg]

26. Saw it on TV this morning. They're also labeling him a "liberal."

Duh.

[Jim__]

27. They're incapable of reacting rationally to Murtha's statement.

bush's whole political career has been one of mud-slinging. He can't respond to Murtha's well-reasoned statement except to call him names. I think the public is finally starting to realize this.
