CNN airing doubts on Swiftboater's claims...!?!
Evening news said that none of the eyewitness accounts and none of the paperwork backs up their claim that Kerry didn't deserve those medals!
WTF... There must be a new memo. Has the tide truely turned?

2. I wouldn't be tto hopeful. One small slip of the toungue isn't
proof of anything. Wait until later tonight, and the next few days, and we'll see.

7. K. Baily Hutchison referred to 'President Kerry' today
I loved that. Speaking of slips. Donna Brazille didn't question it, went right on to her next point.
Visualizing Kerry's innauguration!

6. Okay, what's the deal . . .
. . . with referring to the smirking jackass in the White House as *?

And is there a FAQ for this kind of thing so that I won't sound like a dumb newbie in the future?

10. well actually
go here
http://dug.seattleactivist.org/

to see the du dictionary, though its not up to date

and the * is to denote that bush isnt legitimately elected but selected, therefore he has an asterisk next to his name or just an asterisk

12. An asterisk refers to Bush...
being appointed, selected, which ever you choose to call it, instead of elected. He received less votes than Gore in the 2000 election, thus an asterisk, similar to what MLB did to Roger Maris when he broke Babe Ruth's single season HR record in 162 games, instead of 154.

18. Welcome to du, Chichiri!
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 09:12 PM by zidzi
The * in talking about bush is refering to when someone said bush would someday be known as an asterisk in history..

And other people just may not want to spell out his name.

On edit~ I guess I learned something, too.

15. Najaf
All hell is about to break loose, if reports are accurate. Iraq might be poised to emerge in to center stage again. Which means all this nonsense is going to recede. CNN wants to be on the side of the truth at the end of the day, even if it is late in the day.
