1. He can say what he likes
A true leader would have got his ass up out of the chair and started leading. :grr:

2. "Oh what a tragic accident. The pilot must've had a heart attack"
Card contradicts what Chimpy has stated himself. "That must be one bad pilot". How many time has the chimpster told that story during his travels just after 9/11? Card attempts to soften up what Chimpy really said.

3. Spin the coward.
Dumbass did nothing for at least 35 minutes. Could he have called a strike on at least one of those planes and saved more lives in that process?

4. What he could have done was call a National Emergency
and probably half of the people in the 2nd tower and ALL of the people in the pentagon would have escaped danger. By not calling an emergency the people in the 2nd tower were told to go back to their offices and Lord knows why the Pentagon wasn't aware what was going on. The whole debacle was a total failure by the idiot in charge.

8. The Pentagon was aware of what was going on
But when Wolfowitz and Rummie heard about the 1st Tower getting hit, they decided there was nothing they could do about it, so they continue on with their meeting.

5. Kerry should bring that up in the debates, sit back, and watch the bumbler
Bush hem and haw and fiddle with his tie.

12. The voters are like a jury. The judge asks juries to use common sense
when trying to discern the truth. Kerry's campaign should frame the Booker elementary school situation in a way that challenges voters to use their commom sense.

7. Card can take as much blame as he wants. I'll be happy to accomodate him
But that doesn't mean bunny pants gets off scott free for genocide.

9. Has anyone noticed
how many people are falling on their swords for this jackass? Mission Accomplished wasn't his fault, 7 minutes wasn't his fault blah blah blah... I wonder if Matt Lauer will be the next one to say that it was his fault that Bush said the war wasn't winnable...

14. Is he taking the blame for the "20 minutes of Photo OPs"..
after the "7 minutes" of storytelling? That's what was reported on du that Bill Maher(I think..correct me if I have the wrong person..heck, maybe it was Greg Palast) said happened.

18. Mission Accomplished.
Ex Gen. T. Franks took the blame for it. People have been saving Dumbass all of his life. He has been and is a miserable failure but people cover for him &/or bail him out.

K. Kerry should get his act together and go on the offensive regarding Dumbass' failure to act on the day of 911 Attack. Kerry did mention the 7 minutes but he should go into simple detail about how Dumbass failed to save LIVES.
