Dean to seek chairmanship of Democrats

I PM'd Lash after the deadline passed that I didn't intend to take her dough, that the point (shooting one's mouth off quite often results in nothing more than drool on one's shirt) had been made.

And she was gracious in acknowledging that, so that's good enough for me.

and this is why I've already asked for this thread to be locked

PDid did not note, however, that I'd PMed him first, conceding I had lost the bet, and asking how he'd like me to send the money to him.

He PMed, graciously I thought, and said "Skip the money."

To which I replied back that I thought the gesture was nice, but I would prefer him to let me know how to send him his money.

If you are going to portray it, PDid, portray it accurately. PM me with information about how to send that money.

And, ehBeth--Try to understand this. What I said on the other thread is factual, and taken from the 911 Commission Report.

A legion of liberals denying it won't make that go away.

The factual exchange will accompany the decidedly skewed edit of it.

No one is afraid you will use your silly point A to support your scurrilous point E. We've already seen the attempt, and it disgusts, not frightens.

I'm sorry; I must've (in the conglomeration of weeks worth of posts and PMs and other clutter I'm wading through) missed that insistent message.

I repeat that no payment to me is necessary, or desired. However, if you feel you must pay someone, then make said contribution to the Democratic Party (here's the site). They will in turn confirm your contribution via e-mail -- if you do so online -- and you can post that e-mail here. (This is how timber and I settled our election wager.)

You are under no obligation to do this, as it is a revision to our agreement. I only offer it as an assuagement to your (apparently guilty) conscience.

Since we are quoting Twain....

I am only guilty of holding on to your money long after you should have had it.

It's dishonorable to do so, IMO.

But, I see you haven't opened it yet.
Yes. It is still in my Outbox.
Looks like this.

That is quite gallant of you (sincerely); unfortunately my pride is bigger than my brain in areas such as this (sincerely ).

I made a bet, and made provisions in case I lost.

I lost. The money has belonged to you since the 15th.

I've never used PlayPal before-- I'd like to get your money to you in a manner convenient to you. However you would prefer.

I can't bear donating to the DNC. Cruel and unusual.

Another charity? In your name?

(Guess that makes me a liar re "However you would prefer..")

Hey. Does the peanut gallery think it is wrong not to pay in this way--or do I have the right to ask for a different way? This never came up before.

Is this cruel and unusual?

I need Ethics Advisor.

Dean said this morning on Meet the Press with Tim Russert that Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11:

Dr. Dean: [T]he thing that really bothered me the most, which the 9-11 Commission said also wasn't true, is the insinuation that the president continues to make to this day that Osama bin Laden had something to do with supporting terrorists that attacked the United States. That is false. The 9-11 Commission, chaired by a Republican, said it was false. Is it wrong to send people to war without telling them the truth.

Honestly, I think he's either lost it or is close to becoming completely undone. If I didn't know better, I'd seriously think he's on Karl Rove's payroll, LOL.

Maybe a secret GOP operative? Smile

In any case, I'm thinking of sending him a thank-you note.

Isn't it more likely that he misspoke and meant Saddam. Don't republicans misspeak all the time, like Bush talking about gynecologists who aren't able to practice their love of women? Does anyone actually believe that Bush thinks that the science of gynecology is about making sweet love down by the fire?

I know that being a republican these days is pretty boring, but you can probably find more interesting things to do with your time than to hang on every word Dean says and document every mistake he makes.

No one has that much time Smile

It is really a time saver having you about, JW. If anyone needs to know what the RNC talking point is, you'll have it on loud and repetitive display. One often has use for dependable people.

Bush made the same mistake during one of the presidential debates btw -- I thought it would be an OOOOHHH! moment, but it didn't seem to be. Maybe if the two names are uttered in the same breath often enough they become almost interchangeable?

- Why hasn't anyone jumped on the Saddam instead of Osama freudian slip? E.G. was there and confirmed it, it wasn't just a captioning typo. Some question about OBL, and Bush said "Of course we're after Saddam Hussein... I mean Bin Laden..."

Bingo! And of course, this was precisely the point Luntz made in one of his memos.

What I don't get is how that happened since Bush was being spoonfed the answers through the circa 1950's technology radio transmitter in his jacket.

Talking and listening and standing...that's a lot to concentrate on.

I think Dean said it twice in the Russert interview.

Actually, I think he just needs to up his meds a bit...

or scream LOL.

Didn't he say something else that's going to bite him? He's going around calling DeLay a criminal--when Hillary and Pelosi backed down from the DeLay Challenge, because their own ethics violations are worse than DeLay's?

Dean spouting off about it will only zero people back on to Hill and Pelosi.

Oh yeah! He was mocking Rush Limbaugh about his Oxycontin addiction--and people are making serious noise about the ethical bankruptcy of a doctor mocking an addict.

0 Replies

I find his obsession with Limbaugh fascinating.... as he mentioned him countless times in speeches he made when he was a losing candidate.

Still he can't resist talking about him, it's like Kerry talking about his Viet Nam days.
