Wow that piece by Dick Morris is interesting.  I wonder who would have more insight into what was really going on behind the scenes better than Morris?  He certainly doesn't seem to have much respect for the president he worked for.

Dick Morris sux....

What right do you have to mention his extra-marital affair?  What a hatemonger.  You must be a religious zealot.

Yes.  You failed to drop a link, you copied and pasted an entire blog article and attributed it to someone you "believe" is Dick Morris.  Yes, you did plagiarize.  Add a link you Personal attack deleted beforehand...by MichaelC

Soon enough, I'm sure.

You obviously don't know the definition of plagiarism. Plagiarism is to use and pass off the ideas or writings of another as one's own.   I DID NEITHER. Get yer facts straight before you make accusations you can't back up. Here's a link to the article.

Get a sense of humor.  You're obviously not a religious person...

Hey, he accused me of plagiarism by not posting a link! It's no surpise that he's lacking in the humor department as well.

Wow, what a well substantiated and articulate response aox.  I bet you think Carville doesn't suck because he likes Bubba...I'm an astounding mind reader...

Anyways, I think we can dispatch with the idea that Olbermann is even close to a JOURNALIST.

[snopes]

Speaking of Carville.. Separated at birth? Oops, I suppose that could be construed as a personal attack and therefore the thought police will lock the topic.

Now a word from the Re-Elect the Republican Majority to Congress Committee..........!

Yeah.  Too bad you just read the headlines instead of reading the documents for yourself...nice SPIN though Rico.

Are you preparing yourself for the imminent Democratic Harry Carry Fest in November after the GOP retains both the house and senate?  Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin...

Sorry, I was not aware you had the Security Clearance to read the entire document...

But that makes sense... as George would have to have someone read it to him...

[iplaw]

I didn't say I read the ENTIRE document...you just like to pick out the parts that suit you best...

BTW, was it just me or when Bubba was speaking did it sound like his Fixodent was losing it's grip?  When he spoke it sounded like wind through a screen door in late May.

HEE HEE !!!! Knock Out!!!!!

"The headlines about them are, of course, entirely wrong.

It is not essential that a past president, bullied and sandbagged by a monkey posing as a newscaster, finally lashed back.

It is not important that the current President's portable public chorus has described his predecessor's tone as "crazed."

Our tone should be crazed. The nation's freedoms are under assault by an administration whose policies can do us as much damage as al Qaida; the nation's marketplace of ideas is being poisoned by a propaganda company so blatant that Tokyo Rose would've quit.

<snip>

You did not try.

You ignored the evidence gathered by your predecessor.

You ignored the evidence gathered by your own people.

Then, you blamed your predecessor.

That would be a textbook definition, Mr. Bush, of cowardice.

To enforce the lies of the present, it is necessary to erase the truths of the past.

That was one of the great mechanical realities Eric Blair—writing as George Orwell—gave us in the book "1984."

The great philosophical reality he gave us, Mr. Bush, may sound as familiar to you, as it has lately begun to sound familiar to me.

"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power...

"Power is not a means; it is an end.

"One does not establish a dictatorship to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

"The object of persecution, is persecution. The object of torture, is torture. The object of power... is power."

Earlier last Friday afternoon, before the Fox ambush, speaking in the far different context of the closing session of his remarkable Global Initiative, Mr. Clinton quoted Abraham Lincoln's State of the Union address from 1862.

"We must disenthrall ourselves."

Mr. Clinton did not quote the rest of Mr. Lincoln's sentence.

He might well have.

"We must disenthrall ourselves and then we shall save our country."

And so has Mr. Clinton helped us to disenthrall ourselves, and perhaps enabled us, even at this late and bleak date, to save our country.

The "free pass" has been withdrawn, Mr. Bush.

You did not act to prevent 9/11.

We do not know what you have done to prevent another 9/11.

You have failed us—then leveraged that failure, to justify a purposeless war in Iraq which will have, all too soon, claimed more American lives than did 9/11.

You have failed us anew in Afghanistan.

And you have now tried to hide your failures, by blaming your predecessor.

And now you exploit your failure, to rationalize brazen torture which doesn't work anyway; which only condemns our soldiers to water-boarding; which only humiliates our country further in the world; and which no true American would ever condone, let alone advocate.

And there it is, Mr. Bush:

Are yours the actions of a true American?"

I'd vote for even Keith Olbermann over George Shrub. But thank the good we will not have him stealing anymore elections and creating tons more terrorists.

Now, let's get it on in the midterms. Change is good. Vote out the idiots who were guilty of over reaction by invading Iraq. That would include the entire Oklahoma delegation. And if not now, the next time. These goons made a huge mistake which will soon surpass the Spanish American and Vietnam wars as America's biggest failure ever.

More highbrow commentary from aox...you are quite the persuasive writer.  Was it really necessary to re-copy the text of the speech, or did you think the added bulk would flush the rest of the comment down more easily?  Next time just flush twice and jiggle the handle.

[snopes]

As Phil Hartman would say in his best Sinatra impersonation (regarding aox's post),

"It's all pops and clicks from here baby."

Persuasive writer? I think not. Maybe a good copy/paste technician.

Ya, that's it, a REALLY good copy/paste technician.

Yer right! When it comes to charm, integrity and downright honesty, Carville can't hold a CANDLE to Rove! [}:)]

[iplaw]

Did anyone see Carville get worked by Oreilly last night...quite amusing.  Carville is a cartoon character just like Ann Coulter, both are blinded partisans and for the most part are justifiably ignorable by the majority of Americans.

Papa...didn't say that you were an Independent?  The fact that you seem to have warm fuzzies for Carville makes me question that...[]
