i find the RNC use of Tony Blair chumming up with ah-nold over clean...

[bridgit]

air in front of a BP backdrop in LB Harbor to be completely insidious; Bush can't be seen doing it because it doesn't believe in it, ah-nold needs a boost as does every self-promoter, and Blair numbers can't get any worse at home as a result of being Bush's private poodle :thumbsdown:

why is no one mentioning the relationship of ah-nold to the dead Ken Lay, but for Lay and his nefarious dealing, ah-nold would not be governor of California

1. So how do you feel about Blair encouraging stem cell research in

GB? Do you think this is a smack in dimson's face?

2. my sense is that Blair is still smart enough, unlike Bush, who never...

was, to understand that innovation is where nations are made & flourished, bought & sold...but that is not to imply that he is incapable of a political cunning at the same time.

to do something because it is the right thing to do, is quite different from having decided to do so out of political expediency imo or for want of not being left behind (i mean it's all over the headlines why would he want to be seen standing next to Bush the wannabe king-king-caeser); either way by the way, as was the case with Bush in that i personally do not believe he harbors the level of intellect to determine a proper course of action for the benefit of all

i simply find it specious at best...ah-nold caring about anything but his own future the more so, he didn't give a shit when Lay but the wheels in motion, events here in Cali have a way of generating their own momentum with, or without whomever is in the picture, and Blair could have just as easily had that photo-op on a derek in the north sea x(

3. to do something because it is the right thing to do

Wow, what a concept.

I want to review "The Smartest? Guys In The Room", the movie about Exxon.

I live in Houston, but I was way out of town when Kenny-boy died. I've no doubt I missed
more speculation than I ever wanted to read.

4. you mean the movie about Enron? n/t

5. no dear, my sense is that this is political expediency on both their parts

they want very, very much to be seen on the right side of something...you may well hope that they will still care so much after the election by the way...it is not a pact, or contract, or treaty to do anything; it is a most thread bare agreement to exchange data and that is all

come to California, we'll fill you in on the Lay/ah-nold/ENRON/energy crash/ENRON owes Cali a shit pile story :thumbsup:
