whats the rumor... i don't get it. Wait, now i do. HAHAHAHA Posted by: alapalooza at April 7, 2003 11:32 PMThat was indeed well done. You've shown yourself qualified to write speeches fit to be presented by UN delegates. I believed it, I think, if it's the rumor your talking about. I heard it somewhere else too. But sometimes I think people on TV just make stuff up. Posted by: Bambi Stokes-Hymington at April 8, 2003 12:05 AMHigh-ranking sources who asked not to be named and who coincidentally were high, have denied that shameless fabrications of misplaced rumors of untrue speculations are false. Presidential hopeful John Kerry (if that is his real name) quickly staked out his position on the rumors, saying "I am completely opposed in my support on this issue. I unreservedly denounce myself for whole-heartedly applauding these rumors. Bush is Hitler. Please send me money for my campaign and/or more cosmetic surgery to make me look less undead. Aghh! Holy water! Get it away! Arghh!" Iraqi Information Minister Muhammad Said al-Sahhaf, responding to the offer of a public relations position in the Kerry campaign, said "I turned down the job. This man is an amateurish waffler and transparent liar. He seems to have no connection to reality and is very creepy-looking besides. He gives me shivers." Posted by: Keith at April 8, 2003 01:14 AMAnother unnamed Liberal spokesperson said, "This has the ear marks of, a 'cover-up', by yet another Republican Administration! We feel impeachment procedings against Mr. Bush, should start immediately!" Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at April 8, 2003 03:16 AMClick on my name, to sign the petition to support, Our Commander In Chief. There is only 3 weeks left. Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at April 8, 2003 05:26 AMI can neither confirm nor deny that I might possibly know the substance of these alleged rumors. Any speculation as to the existence of, or veracity of these "rumors" can only cause disruption of possibly critical trivial events still in the planning stage. Wow! I think I'm ready to run for office now. Latest from the Kerry camp. "What is this new rumor?? Is it true? What do you mean you told me about it three days ago? No, I am not having a SENIOR MOMENT!!!! You stop that now, I'm warning you, I'm a hero, quit laughing at me, I'll tell mommy, that's it!!.......MOMMMMMMMMMMMY That mean ole Scott Ott is talking about me again..Sniff, Sniff" Posted by: Old Sailor at April 8, 2003 09:01 AMthe guy that started the rumor actually knows the person who ate pop rocks, drank coke, and had their head explode... ...or so i heard from my friends step-brother's cousin's niece's mom. Posted by: mark at April 8, 2003 09:07 AMThat rumor is an anachronism, and possibly isn't true, however the rumor after that has been verified by unnamed sources in secret locations. Posted by: phil palmby at April 8, 2003 09:10 AMHey Susan, Hey Bambi (who be da man) I bet you lick Helen.(speeled with the sam akuracee that you are nown fur) Posted by: Cartman at April 8, 2003 09:26 AMCould it be that Ooglay started this rumor? It has all the earmarks of a devious plot to further confuse the befuddled liberal news media in this country. Maybe John Kerry should hire Ooglay as a campaign manager? Posted by: Mike S at April 8, 2003 10:37 AMHey you American swine! Ooglay will be telling you a rumor he started. It is fonny one! Ready for listening? Ooglay went to french sore bone University with Shahad, fourth son of my honored Uncle Ali. (You call him "Chemical" but we call him "happy ali" because he is always whistling happy songs. Also we call him "wheezy" but that is another story.) Anyway we both like same French girl, yes? And French girls are easy because only competition is French males, and they are not how you say interested much in girls. Who can blame them? Only people who are thinking French girls are pretty have not ever been to France. Only after much drinking are they better looking then a camel. But this French girl was different. Still not so pretty but very enthusiastic girl. After only one maybe two wine drinks she is very nice to be looking upon. And Shahad is saying "she would look good vieled!" And he treats her like dirt but who would be knowing she likes him more then Ooglay? So even though Ooglay is son of Glorious Leader and Shahad is just General's fourth son she chooses him and is his fifth wife. And Ooglay's beauteous mother makes Ooglay take present to wedding! So who cares it was years ago. A very nice western gold fondue set. Jewel encrusted, so one may break off and choke him. Always he is better at sports then Ooglay, too. Pig. Also he graduated Sore Bone. Big deal. Ooglay would if he wanted to also. I had to leave France very fast for none of your business, that's why! Posted by: Ooglay Hussein at April 8, 2003 11:37 AMOkay I was forgetting rumor. But that is because Shahad always is making me angry. Many years ago my Glorious Father, for whom Allah has a special place, says "kill him and be done with it" and gives me the special knife he used on the cats in his Tikrit days. But no. I can not. Now maybe today I will be finishing first day of war in my diary. I don't know. So much happens in war! Give me time then click name and see. Posted by: Ooglay Hussein at April 8, 2003 12:00 PMIraqi Information Minister al-Sahef said: "Whatever the rumor is I deny it. It is a Zionist plot. Look, we are standing here, if the rumor was true could we be standing here?" American Intelligence intercepted a cell phone call from Al-Sahef to Las Vegas right after his daily briefing. Al-Sahef reportedly said "When can I pick up my winnings" and then after an undisclosed reply "What do you mean Syracuse won, they were slaughtered as the infidels they are by Kansas, I saw it with my own eyes." Posted by: twalsh at April 8, 2003 03:57 PMThe ultimate "spin". Very good Scott. Remember to Boycott the spineless french and anything from france. Just our way of saying "Thanks for getting in the way". Posted by: Okie Dokie at April 8, 2003 05:29 PMOoglay, How does it feel to be orphan? Maybe Arafat can adopt you? HA HA, Stupid Pig! Posted by: Allah Mode at April 8, 2003 06:40 PMJailed Iraqi children run free as marines roll into Baghdad suburbs Lest we forget how hideous Saddam really was... Posted by: Harden Stuhl at April 8, 2003 08:17 PMOkay, here is Ooglay. I work hard even though is late in Baghdad and I am in an underpalacce. Now I have something new in Diary. I go to bed now! Remember you talk bad of Ooglay you go on Ooglay page. I get you tomorrow maybe Allah Mode. Posted by: Ooglay Hussein at April 8, 2003 08:28 PMHey Harden Watching CNN ñ A rock throwing crowd near British troops ñI saw it yesterday too ñ today was the first time I heard them mention that the people were throwing the rocks at the looters! Not the troops! Posted by: Carroll at April 8, 2003 09:07 PMHarden - went to your link. My God, was there NO end to brutality and depravity of that monstrous regime? What, I wonder, will all the protesters say??? Oooops! Posted by: AHA at April 8, 2003 10:27 PMBush may struggle to get Congressional approval. UN may thwart determination of Bush adminstration. Lack of northern front may delay war. Campaign off track. Not the enemy that was war gamed against. Six week pause before Baghdad. Civilians not happy to see coalition forces. US to encircle Baghdad. US not at Baghdad airport but old British airbase. The hard battle will be in Baghdad. Underground bunker system may thwart allies. Could be difficult to win the peace.
09 Apr 2003 07:56:12 GMT Chanting Iraqis THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH ìNam nam Bush , Sad-Dam No BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraqis joyously welcomed U.S. Marines driving through eastern Baghdad THIS WAR WAS JUST Posted by: jp at April 9, 2003 05:35 AMI Need your help! Also - you might could expect a few Iraqis to start logging on. They are carrying computers out of "government offices" like there's no tomorrow. Posted by: Frank Again at April 9, 2003 05:44 AMFrom the story jp referenced above: "Looters were quick to take advantage. Reuters Television crews watched cheering crowds sack the U.N. headquarters in the Canal Hotel to the east and drive off in U.N. cars. Posted by: Frank Lee Whompass at April 9, 2003 05:56 AMI started to write a short note about Scott Ritter, former UN Weapons inspector and child molestor, regarding this comment he made months ago about Iraqi children's prisons "Actually I'm not going to describe what I saw there because what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I'm waging peace." But my comments grew too long. It's on my blog, linked through my name. Posted by: Greyhawk at April 9, 2003 08:03 AMQuick, does anyone have an accordian (or an extra frenchman) to send to Frank Lee Whompass?? I tried, but couldn't shove the french guy into the box. Posted by: DoktorI at April 9, 2003 10:16 AMHey Ooglay, I be pleasing to see our people, pulling down of you daddy statue. He be falling down good, no? Tonight his head will be hit with shoes many times, his mustache will be rubbing in places, I cannot mention, then to be sleeping with pigs. How you like now Ooglay? Pretty good no, you, you, orphan! Posted by: Allah Mode at April 9, 2003 12:50 PMI nominate Ooglay for press secretary to the next president of Iraq. Posted by: Robert at April 9, 2003 02:40 PMI didn't believe this load of unsubstantiated balderdash the first time I heard it and am even less inclined now, to give them any creedence at all in light of the latest developments in that city.(A city the name of which I won't/can't mention just now.) My advice is that these vaporious, intangable and ethereal "rumors" should be dismissed and ignored. Tomas APRIL 9 2003 TO ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSED We have seen their kind before. They're the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies. GWB 9-20-2001 _______________________________ TO ALL THE PEOPLE NAMED BELOW F____ EVERY ONE OF YOU B****RDS WE WERE NEVER DECEIVED BY YOUR PRETENSES TO PIETY Artist United to Win without War AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....[ ] YOU FRENCHMAN JUSTICE HAS PREVAILED Thanks for the list jp! Please remember Danny Glover, and MCI MOST, as after a flood of e-mail and letters, telling them, (MCI), that a lot of people were disappointed with their choice for spokesperson, they basically said, "In your face!", and continue to use him, even in new commercials. Money is the only thing these kind of people understand. Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at April 10, 2003 03:26 AMIf anyone would care to give MCI their opinion of Glover, click my name to take you to their e-mail form. Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at April 10, 2003 03:34 AMSusan: Done. Thanks for the link. Posted by: AHA at April 10, 2003 10:51 PMSusan, got an (form letter) email back from MCI advising me that Danny Glover has free speech and they do not involve themselves in politics. Posted by: AHA at April 11, 2003 10:48 AMAHA MCI can take that stand but when informed people shun their services, that will be a different story. Just like the "hollywood halfwits" that are already feeling the pain. btw, I hope NBC gets flooded with complaints about Katie Couric and her obnoxious behavior. You can go to newsmax.com to read the transcript of her apr. 9th comments. It should disgust most Americans and Iraqis. Posted by: ams at April 11, 2003 11:07 AMSusan: Ironic isn't it that a company which is in the busines of communication would deliberately choose a spokesperson whose communications make so many so angry? Mr. Glover is, indeed, entitled to his right to speak. I,on the other hand, am entitled to my right not to speak. I shall exercise that right by not speaking through MCI. This seems to me to be a fair exchange. Thank you for the link. I enjoy your wit and wisdom immensely. Posted by: Joseph at April 12, 2003 09:43 PM |
