Re: Wot I lurned on Fox today...
But that was before the London terror attack. Will things change now? Don't count on it. That's because media like the BBC won't stop at spin.
..... don't you just want to tear your hair out?Coming from what is one of the most agenda-filled media outlets in the world?.. funny ha!ha!

Crooks and Liars has the video footage of both the press conference and Kerry calling for Rove to be fired.
You have to scroll a fair way down the page to find "Press Corp grilling Scotty" for the video link of the press conference, and the Kerry stuff is nearer the top.
Classic stuff.

I'm at the airport just about to fly into london (and I will be staying 10 miles from Luton) and I come across this thread
I felt inclined to throw my laptop against the wall after reading the o'reilly commentary.
O'twat:
"We were being so severely criticized around the world because of the war in Vietnam, which is one of the reasons that it ended, because of world opinion"
This bloke is a complete cnut. End of story.

Apparently he could receive a slap on the wrist, loss of security clearance, or possible prison. You don't think American policymakers would write laws that could get *them* thrown in the hoosegow, do you?

Actually I think it ended cos Saigon fell and we had our butts handed to us. But then again I might be wrong. Odd that it took so long for world opinion to sink in.

They may not have the goods on Rove to convict, but everyone in the movie states uncategorically that Rove will use any means necessary to humiliate and destroy anyone he considers his enemy. It may not have been him, but the glove certainly fits.

Thats what I thought, although defeat is apparently extremely subjective.
maybe Hitler actually lost the war because of world opinion.
I just get more annoyed every day with o'reilly. If I get an aneurism I may well file a suit against Fox

Re: Wot I lurned on Fox today...
How about:
The guy's a dangerous asshole who we did NOT elect and who is the source of much grief even if he didn't do this job. The fact that Bush feels he needs such a cut-throat viper as his advisor speaks volumes.
*Must* Bush fire him? Don't know yet. *Should* he fire him? That much is obvious.
