Run, Baby, Run!
Palin 2012!
I have heard 54% of republicans want sarah palin to run in 2012- and 100% of democrats
I spoke too soon.
Hmmm, I've heard no mention of Sarah Palin yet...
EXCELLENT!
I commend the work of your guests, and I hope that they stay on the case - this Administration is not over until we get answers to all of those questions that were stonewalled by Bush and his cronies.
I'd like to see a re-visiting of the Taguba Report - where, for instance, are the myriad photographs and videos mentioned there? Who has them? What happened to the people shown in them?
What happened to the White House emails which "disppeared"? I'm sure that they are heaping documents on the shredders and bonfires all day long. It's up to our journalists to get to the bottom of this on behalf of all of the citizens of the U.S.
Thank you!
Dole = McCain??
Lightyears apart, imho. In 1996, Dole was an unconsciounable hack. While McCain did kowtow to the religious base, he never would have gone so far as to tout his tobacco funders' line like this:
"We know it's [tobacco] not good for kids, but a lot of things aren't good. Some would say milk's not good."
