Don't you get sick of this shit? Why oh why can't we just have reports? We are stuck in a never-ending movie, and it's not even a good one.

If those two idiots actually did pass that kind of note back and forth, it is further proof that they are as stupid as they look. And frankly, I think they are. And that is incredibly scary - the president of the United States and the director of the National Security Agency, two buffoons.

At any rate, I saw some of the event on the tube, and I noticed that the flag they were passing around was red, white and black (perhaps even the flag they had under Saddam). Not the one we designed for them, was it?

And the second more like the Karl Rove press machinery stupid faux patriotic canned crap to be fed to a gullible public who has the same juvenile mentality and disconnect from reality. The one-liner they always try for. Like the "Was that Airforce One I just saw?" media feed lie from the great Turkey Day caper.
