The good Dr. is correct. You are encouraging his Orrin Scrivello DDS
persona when you react to the dull barbs he grows in that infertile soil.

Pidge, I just finished taking out a brain tumor with my OR staff of 15 people and am going home to my lovely wife and daughter who are comfortably esconced in my 1 acre estate.

hehehe…pidge you have quite an imagination….

They don’t bother to keep him abreast of threats anymore, if they did, the real danger might come in, him trying to address the issue before his speech writers swing into action. “My, they had to evacuate the White House! My wife too? I should have done that years ago, eehyuck!” or “Osama bin Laden? Osama….bin……Osama, yes, now that the Iraqi elections have been certified, we will see that President O’Laden will lead Iraq down the pathway of democracy. Which we know, after 9-11, is so important. He’s who…? No questions.

DrDoper has escaped the life of cubicles, offices, fresh air and human company by sitting at home, in his parents’ basement, in front of his computer, constantly checking his email for a new male enhancement offer that might actually work. Only Rush Limbaugh can drown out the voice of his mother who says he should go out, meet some girls, get a job, stop looking at those dirty pictures, get some clothes on, make some friends, go back to school, clean his room, do some chores, open some windows. “But Mama, 9-11 changed everything!!!” Mama, tears running down her face: “If only that were true…” AH the horror! The horror! The horror!

The rest of you guys stop being so sensitive. All this ad hominem attack and invective!

I know you hate bush, and realize deep down that it is ridiculous that he should be aware of these things immediately.

Go back to your cubicles and read Kos or the other echo chambers where we grownups won’t bother you in your mindless liberal worlds, where all the terrorists can be reasoned with, and republicans just live in the closets and come out at night in your nightmares….

LOL….what a bunch of maroons….

“Anyone holding a BlackBerry would have learned just a minute before that event that Al Jazeerah was airing the tape of bin Laden’s threat. The email alert from ABC News arrived at 10:15 am EST. Bush started speaking at 10:16 am.”

I fail to see how this can bring ya’ll to the level of rightous indignation you seem to have adopted. It was an audio tape, had just been aired on arab tv, and had not been analyzed or authenticated by the Intell folks.

Because bush and his turdblossom brain would never, ever, manipulate the terrorist issue for political gain, right?

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Um, what? Could you explain then how the ups and downs of the terror threat level before the 04 election fit your grand strategy of  ignore them and they will go away ? You guys are too much. When Bush doesn t react to a terrorist threat it s because reacting to a terrorist message is what  fuels terrorism> When Bush does react to a terrorist threat he s a strong resolute leader.

I think it’s time to take off that tin foil hat.

Bush ain’t the CEO of an autoparts chain, or the senior partner in a Duluth law firm, he’s the President of the United States.

His job is not to bubble himself off with minions, his job is to be a leader, and to appear engaged with what the American people are experiencing even if he doesn’t personally give a scroo.

Now I would agree that this particular instance is no big deal in itself, but it’s part of a pattern: my pet goat; heckuva job Brownie.

Bush is cut off, detached, disengaged, and more people are coming to realize it. He might make an okay CEO of an autoparts chain (with enough of grandad’s money padding his mediocre business talents), but he’s a miserable failure as a leader of this country.

Dr Wilbur

PS: right on Dr Frameone: reacting to a terrorist threat by interrupting a speech fuels terrorism, but launching hysterical half-cocked invasions of other countries apparently doesn’t. Kee-ripes!
