<snip>

MR. SNOW: Well, again, the Democratic Governor of the state made the point that he thought --

Q Republican.

MR. SNOW: That's right, the Republican Governor, you're right, thank you. I was thinking Minnesota. But the Republican Governor also made the point that scheduled rehabilitation was in the future and they both attested to the fact that this was something where someplace in the future -- and it is indeterminate, you're right, it doesn't say six years or 10 years.

:crazy:

[Ron Green]

1. WTF????

:wtf:

[thunder rising]

2. it doesn't say six years or 10 years...but now it's one day too late

[rodeodance]

3. "his was something where someplace"= Rummyspeak

[TygrBright]

4. Well, that'll come as a shock to Tim Pawlenty, GOPpie brownnoser. n/t

[yardwork]

8. Thrown under the bus.

How long will it take before they all realize that they are expendable?

[babylonsister]

5. Ha! I'm glad someone corrected him...publically...on the record. nt

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

6. "Um, well, I fucked up there, but Demmycrats are bad anyways!" FU Snow.

[pepperbear]

7. He was "Thinking Minnesota" while "Looking Arizona", no doubt. N/T

[complain jane]

9. The guy was from Fox, wasn't he?

Didn't Fox News have some pedophile Republican typed as a Democrat not too long ago?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

12. Yeah they labelled pederast Tom Foley, Congressman R Fla as a "D" on their video crawl.

[pepperbear]

17. you mean Mark? n/t

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

19. Oops you're right, too late to edit.

[pepperbear]

21. hey, at least the party to which he belongs.

:hi:

[countingbluecars]

10. Straight from the Fox News

political spin handbook.

[LeftishBrit]

11. Probably they got into such a habit of blaming the Democratic Governor of Louisiana...

at the time of Katrina, that they automatically do the same for ANY place affected by a disaster.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. Yes, I'm waiting for the "parked schoolbus photo" for this event. Not holding breath tho.

[Deja Q]

14. Uh, who the hell DOESN'T know Pawlenty is a repub?

How many news outlets keep making this "innocent" slip between "D" and "R" anyway?

Repubs were just to go after Dem wrongfulness.

Why can't they fess up to themselves?

And when will the Dems start pointing fingers back, not that it wouldn't be easy to do; everyone involved happens to be a "R" this time around.

16. Page out of the Fox News playbook

Anything that goes wrong has to be a Democrat's fault.

:puke:

[Deja Q]

18. Sheesh. FOX loses more credibility every day.

Haven't they fathomed what a laughing stock they've become? I occasionally watch their opinion shows to get their perspective, but more and more they come across as a farce.

Even their commercials; like the one for the "National Review" where the lady announcer says "Are you ready? Those tax and spend and regulate and tax more Democrats are!" :wtf: Having seen what de-regulation has done the last couple of decades, and plenty from both political parties have (forgive me) fucked up, it's high time the politicians demand some standards be put back in. And then follow through with it. We're (nationwide) already in the hole; we're going to have to spend money sooner or later.

Or should their negligence just kill everybody, is that what the politicians are saying in action?

20. When I first heard the news I thought they said the governor was a Dem.

I don't believe much of what I hear on the news anymore, though. Especially when it's "something bad happened ... person responsible was a Democrat" - then I know I need to go look it up.

[alstephenson]

15. Tony, you're one big fuck up!

But in the context of this comment and this horrible incident, WHO GIVES A SHIT WHETHER THE GOVERNOR IS A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN? Why would he even think in those terms? Yeah, I know - DUH!!!

[jean]

22. some time in the future...FOR SOME OTHER GOVERNOR

Like Pawlenty's hero, Bush and his reference to some future president getting the US out of Iraq.
