This week FARC got Punk'd; More of the Same McCain got even more so by putting a Rove acolyte at the controls of his campaign; and Condi Rice showed how limited her imagination is, saying the Iraq war has been "tougher than any of us dreamed." Actually, Madame Secretary, many people were wide awake before the war and warned that it would be a nightmare. Of course, Rice has displayed her tragic lack of imagination before, claiming no one "could have predicted" terrorists flying airplanes into buildings before 9/11 despite the fact that, in the words of the 9/11 Commission, such a "possibility was imaginable, and imagined" by multiple government and law enforcement agencies. Perhaps upon her return to Stanford, she can enroll in some imagination expansion courses.

Lieberman isn't much better thanher although hes doing a hell of a job for Israel and the military-industrial
complex. Really pathetic individuals!!!!
I cannot believe that me or any other citizen can go to Wikipedia and see that Colin Powell sent in a massive force with 689,000 American troops during the first Persian Gulf War not even counting many more coalition troops. Then in the second war in Iraq they send in less than 300,000 troops to occupy the country. This is beyond not learning from the mistakes of the past, those idiots did not learn from the success of the past.

I hear Fox (Murdock) wants her on the O'Reilly set as professional "clapper" since she did such a nice job clapping up the war mongering Bush/Cheney tandem.
I was really hoping that Mccain would go with Condi Rice for Vice Prez..
If you want to talk about a Dream Ticket that would be it !! LOL !!!
Condi Rice sold out the citizenry just like Her boss George did !!
Mccain now has the swift boat champion,,Carl Slime Rove at the helm of his campaign !
Now Mccain fits the Bush Image for sure !!!!
They are pitiful excuses for human beings.
Republicans have stayed up nights for the past two decades figuring out (successfully) how to "game the media". Democrats haven't -- in fact, they seem pretty clueless in general concerning the whole idea. "Gaming the media" simply means know the kinds of hyperbolic "hooks" that the media instantly glom onto to headline stories with, irrespective of the actual facts of the matter.
Take, for example, the recent brouhaha over Wesley Clark's remarks concerning John McCain's military service. I think we're all agreed that Clark did not impugn that service itself, merely pointed out that it was not a necessary (or even good) qualification for being President. But by gaming the media, McCain's handler's managed to get most of the MSM to accept their spin on Clark's remarks, which was that he WAS questioning McCain's military service. Since McCain has mainly built his candidacy on his real record as a naval aviator and POW during the Viet Nam War, this kind of gaming of the media worked very well.
All gaming the media required (as Republicans practice it) is misinterpretation and exaggeration: 1) They misinterpret something a Democrat does or says, and then 2) they grossly exaggerate the importance of that misinterpreted action or speech.
C'mon. It's not rocket science, O my fellow Dems....
