PS Why wont he admit that it was Dick Clarke who okd the bin ladens departure on "his authority alone." Mike, I thought you "got it." He's winking through the whole thing. It doesn't matter if it's true or logical or reasonable. It only matters that it makes an impression that resonates. He's playing the same game that Limbaugh has played so well. Those who are analyzing his message for fact and fiction and logic are in the wrong ballpark. I must admit that I'm finding this sad and funny at the same time. I abhor what discourse in this country has come to. OTOH, if we have to have an arms race, I prefer to keep it even and it's always fascinating to watch people's reactions when the tables are turned on them, no matter how serious the stakes.

Mike, MM was not making a documentary, it is pure propaganda. So anything that does not fit into his "Bush is evil, stupid, money-grubbing, etc" mode just ain't there. All this stuff about the 7 minutes just strikes me as a bunch of "coulda, woulda, shoulda." But Moore is capitalizing on Bush's expressionless face for his own interpretation. But I agree that Bush reading to the kids for 7 minutes after the word came about the South Tower being hit is a non-issue.
