Did anyone listen to Washington Journal just now?
Addison Wiggin wrote a book about our economy and its debt, but told 2 callers he didn't know what impact it would have if the Social Security taxable income ceiling were eliminated. I know, the 2048 shortfall would be 93% solved. Grrr, he made me mad. He is obviously a proponent of defaulting on what the general fund owes to the Trust Funds.

I tried unsuccessfully to call in to the show. Kept getting a busy.

50. Is the jaw moving like yesterday?


Yesterday, or the day before, he was turning the pages in his script book.

He flipped one page so quick and so hard, it was easy to see he was drunk.

He had that "I don't care" look in his eyes.

He is such a hateful, mean drunk.

Doesn't like having to do this scripted shit at all.
Somebody must have told him to do it...omg he is insulting Helen Thomas..."Brilliant performance at the gridirion."
Helen:..your decision to go to iraq has caused....deaths...reasons have turned out not to be true...why did you want to go to war...what was your real reason...

Lieboy: To assume I wanted to go to war is just flat wrong...

11. "Last year our economy grew at a healthy 3.5%...added 5 million new jobs"
what he doesn't say is 5 million is barely above equilibrium levels and nearly half are defense-related.

What he also doesn't say is that Mortgage Equity Withdrawal is what's fueling GDP. Without MEW, GDP is near-zero.

He doesn't mention that the present unemployment rate is about 20% higher than when he assumed office.

It's Also A Flat Out Fabrication
The numbers are so overcooked, they hard and crispy. Thisis one of the profound statistical lies of the last 2 years. The UE rate is NOT lower than it was in the 80's or at ANY point in the 90's. The numbers are fudged and the measurements have all been charged to distort the analysis. It just ain't so.

The only thing I want to hear the criminal say is "I resign." As throughout the rest of his sorry-ass life, he will never admit fault or take responsibility. Just resign. Or better yet, just wait until after 2006, when we will impeach your sorry ass and send you to The Hague to stand trial for crimes against humanity.

24. Questions...."AP person"
Q: " Violence is killing 50-60 people/day. Do you agree with Mr. Allawi that Iraq is falling into civil war?"

A: "No I do not. There are a lot of other voices coming out of Iraq....we recognize there is sectarian violence. The way I look at it is that the Iraqis looked at civil war and decided not to go there."

34. Q: Why are you engaging Iran in talks about Iraq if Iran is a threat?
Edited on Tue Mar-21-06 10:11 AM by Roland99
A: "Explained what we didn't like about their involvement in Iraq...attempts to spread sectarian violence or to maybe move, uh, parts that could be used for IEDs is unacceptable to the US. It is very important for the Iranians to understand is any relationship between Iraq and Iran is between those two...Iraq is a sovereign nation"

"They shall not have the capacity to make a nucular weapon nor the knowledge to make a nucular weapon for the security of the world...if the Iranians had a nucular weapon, they could threaten the world...our policy in terms of the nucular program is to work with the EU3 and Russia and China."

He had to go after the bad guys first, nothing new, same shit that makes no sense. I believe Helen was trying to ask him again why he went to Iraq. He then went on about going after the taliban in afghanistan. wtf? He never answered the question.

ps... this is painful to watch.

60. Helen Thomas (Full question and detailed answer)
Edited on Tue Mar-21-06 10:21 AM by Roland99
"Your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands...every reason given publicly turned out not to be true. My question is why did you really want to go to war...from the moment you stepped into office...you said it wasn't oil, Israel, what was it?"


"I think your premise is...I didn't want war. To assume I want war is flat-wrong, Helen. No President wants war...it's not true...my attitude about the defense of this country changed on Sept. 11. When we got attacked I vowed to use every asset to protect the American people. We used to think we were secure. But we realized on Sept. 11, 2001 that killers could destroy innocent life. We will do everything in our power to protect our people. We won't let people provide safe haven that's why we went into Iraq. The Taliban provided safe haven for Al Qaeda...mumble...Afghanistan provided safe haven...that's where they trained. I also saw a threat in Iraq. I hoped to solve this diplomatically. That's why I went to the UN...1441...disarm, disclose or face serious consequences...when he chose to deny inspectors....the world is safer."

I suppose he wants us to now believe he didn't want to invade Iraq? x(

Edit: Boy, did he ever cut Helen off! If I were a member of the press corps, and if I got a turn, I would ask one of the questions he wouldn't ask. Chimpy is behaving like a spoiled litte brat who didn't get his way.

63. Helen-Every reason given to invade Iraq has turned out not to be true-
what is your real reason?

A-I didn't want war, to assume I want war is just flat out wrong, no president wants war, everything you heard about that is simply not true, everything changed after Sept 11

..

Our foreign policy changed on that day,

Killers could destroy innocent lives

..

we didn't allow people to provide safe haven to an enemy

Al Queda trained, Afghanistan provided safe haven

that's where they trained

also saw threat in Iraq

important to pass 1441

disarm, disclose or face serious consequences

he chose to deny inspectors

made difficult decision to remove him...


F*CKING LIAR!!

103. Note: On KHOU (CBS TV in Houston) news this morning,
A local reporter was speaking in front of the White House. Ongoing casualties in Afghanistan were discussed--how the Taliban is growing again & Americans keep dying.

The reporter mentioned that Afghanistan DID have some link with Al Qaeda. But, before things were settled there, we sent troops into Iraq. Which had NOTHING to do with 9/11.

Yes, we know that. But I liked hearing it featured on my morning local news. The show has mostly weather & traffic, with only brief summaries of the most important "news" stories.

That's a good way to drive his approval rating even lower.

150. As if you've ever taken the politics out of ANYTHING. Come on now.

And quit telling me what "The Job of The President" is, ok? You sound like you just finished your presidentin' training course and are all excited to tell us what you learned in the brochure. I passed American History in high school, ok, I know what your job is. I'd like you to DO IT for once.

155. Feingold censure...#2 Dem. Senator won't rule out impeachment
Carl Cameron: What does discussion of Censure and Impeachment do to your office and to the American people at a time of war


"Nobody from the Democrat (sic) party stood up about the terrorist surveillance program. They oughta take their message to the people. They should say we won't have a terrorist surveillance program. They didn't think the Patriot Act should be reauthorized...if that's what the party believes it should go around the country...it's a debate I think the country oughta have)

169. That made me furious!
Every Dem on Congress should seize on this. That's not the point! He was doing it illegally... and BEFORE 9/11! No one has ever said that we shouldn't spy on terrorists!

160. Faux News certainly fed him that softball about censure.
The Dems damn well better come out and respond to that whole series of comments. They need to say "We're not against monitoring terrorists. We're against monitoring Americans illegally and violating the Constitution while doing it."

Dems are letting the Repukes shape this whole argument.
