The Joke's On Russert

[Me.]

Sooooo, the big head thought he'd make fun if DK with the UFO question, but what he did was bring the conversation out into the open. Today there is a gathering of people in DC, credible people, pilots, military, a former governor who all say they've seen a UFO. Jimmy Carter says he saw one. This one's on you potato head.

1. Russert is a fool.

He mocks other people because he unquestioningly accepts the conventional wisdom.

[Atman]

2. Actually, several of those people just saw Russert's big fat head spinning around

It was hard to identify because it was spinning so fast. If you listened closely you could hear it making an odd, other-worldly sound -- "CLINTONSCOCKCLINTONSCOCKCLINTONSCOCKCLINTONSCOCKCLINTONSCOCKCLINTONSCOCK."

Spooky!

3. DK also said Ray-Gun admitted seeing a UFO, go figure!

Peace!

[Atman]

4. Ronnie consulted with fucking ASTROLOGERS before making policy decisions!

But DK is the crackpot because he saw something he can't explain.

:crazy:

7. Careful now, someone will jump you and point out that it was NANCY who consulted them...

9. It turns out that Reagan's "UFO" was actually a jelly bean stuck to his nose. n/t

17. Bwahahahhha!

5. Dennis gets the last laugh!

Russert`s question was asked (IMHO) to embarrass Dennis, but it ended up bringing a lot of highly credible people out in support of de-classifying info on UFOs. Dennis clearly won this round.

15. cause and effect

The event this week was planned months in advance.

18. Love Confluence Of Events

especially when they catch people up

8. Why doesn't The Big Giant Head ridicule people who have seen Angels of The Virgin Mary? n/t

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich may have been ridiculed for saying he had seen a UFO, but for some former military pilots and other observers, unidentified flying objects are no laughing matter.

An international panel of two dozen former pilots and government officials called on the U.S. government on Monday to reopen its generation-old UFO investigation as a matter of safety and security given continuing reports about flying discs, glowing spheres and other strange sightings.

"Especially after the attacks of 9/11, it is no longer satisfactory to ignore radar returns ... which cannot be associated with performances of existing aircraft and helicopters," they said in a statement released at a news conference.

The panelists from seven countries, including former senior military officers, said they had each seen a UFO or conducted an official investigation into UFO phenomena.

The subject of UFOs grabbed the spotlight in the U.S. presidential race last month when Kucinich, a member of Congress from Ohio, said during a televised debate with other Democratic candidates that he had seen one.

.... Reagan may have gained this intense interest from sightings he had while he was Governor of California. Kitty Kelly in her Unauthorized Biography of Nancy Reagan stated Reagan admitted to believing in flying saucers, and "even swore that he had seen a few unidentified flying objects."

Two of these Reagan UFO encounters have become public. The first sighting story was made public by Steve Allen on his WNEW-AM radio show in New York. Allen stated that a well know personality in the entertainment industry had confided a UFO story to him many years before. As the story had already made the rounds in the rumor mill, there was no question the comedian and host was referring to Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy.

Ron and Nancy were expected at a casual dinner party with friends in Hollywood. Except for the Reagans, all the guests had arrived. Ron and Nancy showed up a half hour later quite upset. They stated that they had seen a UFO coming down the coast.

Lucille Ball in her book "Lucy in the Afternoon" also described the event. In her account of the event she stated, “After he elected President, I kept thinking about that event, and wondered if he still would have won if he told everyone that he saw a flying saucer.”

The second sighting occurred in 1974 while Reagan was still Governor. One week after the sighting, Reagan related the story to Norman C. Millar, then Washington Bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, later the editor of the Los Angeles Times. Reagan told Millar:

"I was in a plane last week when I looked out the window and saw this white light. It was zigzagging around. I went up to the pilot and said, ‘Have you seen anything like that before?’ He was shocked and said, ‘Nope.’ And I said to him: ‘Let’s follow it!’

We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light. We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens. When we got off the plane, I told Nancy all about it.’ ....
