1. I won't comment

You know what they say...if you can't say anything nice, don't say anythign at all.

19. I doubt it. It's the sort of thing Bush would get his Columbian thugs to

lie about.

2. Glad he wasn't hurt

EOD.

3. That stuff is like

musk for the Thought Police.

4. Some took Bush shoving match as a gesture of Macho

He probably heard of the death threats and was paranoid of losing his safety blanket. He sure looked desperate to keep his man with him.

7. Sorry - I just don't believe it yet

The Columbians, The Secret Service, The Administration...nobody has any comment or any details. I'm not saying it's not true, only that it sounds so very much like a Rove publicity stunt to garner sympathy and support.

8. What the heck is the Washington TIMES?

Isn't their paper the Washington POST?

9. *smile*,...it must have been a "marxist rebel group",...

This just makes me laugh.

I can't help it.

10. As always the Marxist Brothers could be in on this. eom

[signmike]

14. I'm thinking maybe the same Marxist brothers who

can't ever seem to get the job done right...offing Castro, rescuing hostages...and isn't he purging their brotherhood?

12. Geez.

This is like the third newbie to post this story.
If I didn't know any better I might think this was some kind of effort to get someone to agree with the attempt on Bush's life. Like, I dunno, maybe someone from a wacko website that keeps writing to homeland security in hopes of silencing the DU voice of opposition. A site with a ridiculous article right on the front page about how evolution is a fallacy and not fact (I guess it's there so people can know up front how brain dead the site's admin is... kind of a thoughtful touch really. saves time in forming one's opinion of the site)

13. Gee, was it something he said??

"You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier."
(Governing Magazine 7/98)

-- From Paul Begala's "Is Our Children Learning?"

"I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator," Bush joked.

"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it, " said.

16. Misty eyed nostelgia...

Those were the days...

Is some 'spook' scribe having some fun dipping his toes into water to test just how stupid people are...or did he need a new boat?

Ah...the Moonies need some filler for the weekend...ah...um...here...give them this 1974 archive...just get the intern to re-word it and forward the cheque to the usual account

17. Who?

Why would they give a damn? It's not like terrorists from Lichtenstein bombed a couple of office buidings in Cartagena or anything. Or is it that Bunnypants has WMD?
