Senator Alleges White House Wrote Allawi's Speech

Jeremiah Cornelius writes "In a letter to the White House, a leading US Senate Democrat, Diane Feinstein, expressed 'profound dismay' that the White House allegedly wrote a large portion of Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's speech to Congress last week. 'His speech gave me hope that reconstruction efforts were proceeding in most of the country and that elections could be held on schedule. To learn that this was not an independent view, but one that was massaged by your campaign operatives, jaundices the speech and reduces the credibility of his remarks.'"

    Because I distinctly saw President Bush take a drink of water while he was speaking.

    Well, it is nice to see that someone in Washington watches the Daily Show, I guess. The night after the speech they did a segment showing that several of the phrases in the speech were exactly the same as the president uses.

    Phrases indeed. I long for a day when the President of the United States can speak in complete sentances.

    It's the desparate tactics of the people whose candidate is starting to slide

    Interesting choice of misspellings - I can't decide whether desperate or disparate fits better here.....

    The puppet prime minister of the puppet government of a half-conquered nation is saying what his puppet boss' bosses tell him.

    I for one welcome our puppet overlords.

    Men elect to become cheerleaders in the hopes of being able to hold a female cheerleader aloft by her crotch. Sometimes they try to sneak a peek up there, too. That hardly seems homosexual to me.

    Mod me down if you like, but you know it's true.
