I did take a speed reading course, I’m just not very smart. I was just saying you have a very, I guess I’ll use the word unique, writing style.

the crypt keeper on H&C tonight

Have been searching for years for what he reminds me of. Thank you very much. I can cross that off my list and finally fix that drain my wife has been complaining about.

Graham is a McCain lap dog. He knows he looked like the epitome of a fool on the shamnesty sellout. Now, like McCain, he is going to the only area that is a positive for them. McCain got a bump on Iraq in the debate and Graham is following his master in hopes of reversing negative images of his other debacles. He can’t be trusted.

The general shows why congress is held in such disdain. Direct, truthful, as opposed to evasive, and liars.

Who do you think the public responds to: Military intellect, or Political intellect (oxymoron).

This is why the presidential elections are so draining, we hear (from all candidates) babble, and then we listen to this general and we get straight answers.

As good as Graham came across, he still sounded and looke slimey.

Do’t worry about it. AP was probably referring to my post about Cynthia McKinney. Funny thing is that his post stopped most posts. Why? Because (I don’t know about anyone else) but I watched the Petraeus hearings nonstop both days. I have no idea who else did. But having done so, I needed to have some fun or a stupid diversion. Whatever.

6) If the United States does not keep sufficient troop mass in Iraq, the orbital stability of the Earth will become unbalanced and all Muslim terrorists will slide into America.

Oh that is FUUUUUNNY. hahahahaha

My opinion of Graham went up a notch tonight when he told Colmes that the moveon.org people who placed the ad in the NYT should burn in hell.

HAHA!! He said that!

Graham did a major a$$ kicking on the crypt keeper on H&C tonight. He shut colmsy up so fast it was like someone shoved a sock in his mouth mid lie!

When I think I am comfortable in my disgust with Graham, he pulls this brilliant bit of common sense out of his a$$.

God bless general Patraeus and his fellow warriors who man the walls that protect us all!

Lindsey Graham! I guess he does want to be reelected.

“Hey guys amnesty I do not know what I was thinking… my bad.”

He seems to be making up for it. It’ll take a stronger challenger to unseat him in a primary.

LOL

I hear you

That would be an exchange I would pay to see on PPV.

Thankfully Petraeus is testifying and not me.

a la direct examination of a witness

technically, many of his questions were leading which would not be permissible on direct examination

Graham doctrine:

1) All roads start in Iraq.
2) All roads end in Iraq.
3) The Sun revolves around Iraq.

MB4 on September 11, 2007 at 10:01 PM

By the time I had scrolled down to this point I knew that was you posting it.

I was also very impressed by the General. I don’t have cable, and all I’ve seen of him out of print has been these clips. Integrity and honesty. As for the Absolute Moral Authority, the General’s son heading across the pond soon is about as good as it gets.

Why does it have to be that Graham and McCain are soooo good when it comes to answering and asking questions about Iraq but are soooo bad on illegal immigration? If I were in SC I wouldn’t know how to vote.

I also hate the fact that Petraeus’s answer about his son will be buried and the answer about not knowing how it effects national security will be exalted.

I think we owe a debt of gratitude to MoveOn.org. Their repugnant ad has backfired on them. Not that they’d ever admit it, or for that matter, realize their blunder.

They brought more attention to the General, and put him in the spotlight where he sparkled like a boot grunt’s spit-shine.

I like Petraeus, very thoughtful answers. Absolutely no attempt to evade questions or to pretend he knows answers that he doesn’t.

Maxx on September 11, 2007 at 9:50 PM

Absolutely. I didn’t know much about the General prior to this hearing (actually I still don’t) but from what I’ve seen thus far I’m very impressed with him and thankful for his service.

The patience and restraint of this General is more than I could muster. Just one more example of a real man having to report and give an account to fools, criminals, and idiots. I would love to see the General just go ahead and submit his resignation in the middle of the hearings,, then just tell them clearly the way things are, and not have to worry about that “military respect” thing, getting in the way. “Well Senator,, in answer to your stupid question, the way I see it,, you are just a treasonist terrorist loving thumb sucking brainless twit, who somehow manage to convince a majority of people in an election that you cared more than the other brainless treasonist thumb sucking twit that was running against you,,,, you probably spend more time looking in mirrors and through cracks in toilet stalls than you do at bills that come out of your own office!! Your opinions, when coherent, would be laughable if they were not so dangerous and most certainly, at an earlier time in our history, would have earned you at least a good lashing in the public square if not something more severe! So,, lets just dispense with all these useless questions,, step down here if you are sober enough ,,and we can settle this right now, man to man!”
