  • Even if the tape is authentic would the CIA really want to tell us that? I don't think we will ever really know.

  • I'll start with the obvious: Politics in this country has gotten too nasty! Symptom: My immediate reaction is that this is another hamhanded ploy by Carl Rove and company. This is, of course, terrifying news, but pretty convenient for the Adminsitration. I'm amazed at the incredulity of Fox News to take the admin's report at face value. There is every reason NOT to believe that this particular set of Senior Administration officials has anything other than winning the election in mind.

    But of course we have to take it seriously, given the massive risks. So it's good that we now know, six days ahead of the election, about the vague terorist threat. Now we can take key preventive actions... such as... such as... hmmm... anyone? Voting Republican? Don't count on it.

    Honestly, I've had it with this election. LET'S PRAY this NOT the real thing. At the same time, I'm really, really saddened that I continue to have so much reason to doubt my elected officials.

    Karl Rove is to liberals as tinfoil hats to prevent mind control are to schizophrenics. If we could figure out their respective irrational fixations we would have great insight into how their messed up minds work.

    I'll bet you $10,000 that tape exists, and we ultimately see it. It won't change your mind about Fox, but that's fine. The unidentified network (ABC as it turns out) chose not to show it to the world, or tell the world about it, or wait to do it the Monday before the election for whatever brain dead reason.

    Maybe they thought it would help Bush in the election if it was seen or seen too early, maybe they thought the public needed protecting. However, I'll take the news network that gives me the information any day.

    The track record of the other news networks is so far stellar, CBS with fake documents and the fake plastic explosives story (at least they didn't want to be burned twice, so they passed it to the already over the line lib rag the NYT), ABC with the sure both candidates lie, but Bush lies are more important memo, and this. CNN with the we'll parrot the fake plastic explosives story as many times as it takes to get Kerry more votes (being totally blind to the fact that this is going to blow up in his face big time). NBC with the 4 day Kitty Kelly Today show Bush hatchet job.

    ABC has no problem telling us about about the Americans and other allies getting there heads cut off and being exploited by Al Jazeera and the terrorist "cause", but don't tell us about warning tape like this.

    Thanks, I'll stick with Fox News, the internet, and use the rest to just keep em honest. Anything heard needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but with ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN it takes a freaking salt mine. They earned their reputation in its entirety, and after this election, the great liberal destruction from within the ruling class of the democratic party, the news networks will reconfigure just so that they can keep up with the numbers of Fox News.

    Why yes, Fox News did have better ratings during the first presedential debate than all the networks combined.

    Side note prediction: The Pentagon releases satelite photos showing the trucks moving the plastic explosives out before the trucks arrive. Kerry gets decimated in the election.

  • Would you please help me? I have WinMedia, Real Player and Quicktime. However, when I click your WinMedia posts, for days now, all I get is "closed" response. they won't play! Any suggestions as to why? It has been very frustrating.
    thank you.

  • orry, Jon Stewart, but Sean Hannity is the king of television comedy.

    Yes, of course, "The Daily Show" is hilarious.

    But the Emmy Award-winning Comedy Central program featuring Stewart's cutting comments on the foibles of campaigners for president and spot-on parodies of network election coverage by his crew of fake news reporters is just too intellectually advanced. If you want to see fall-down funny political humor on cable television, click over to the Fox News Channel and watch Hannity "interview" members of the Republican ticket.

    No, Hannity does not fashion himself a comic. He doesn't even know he's funny.

    It is that unintended quality that makes Hannity's "interviews" so remarkably ridiculous that it is impossible not to laugh. When the men who run the country come on his show -- as they have been for "energize-the-base" appearances in recent days -- Hannity greets them with a demeanor reminiscent of the "Wayne's World" guys falling to their knees before Alice Cooper and crying, "We are not worthy!"

    There will be those who suggest that it is unfair to pick on Hannity because, as a Fox host, he is not supposed to be concerned about his credibility as a television interviewer. But Hannity's "interviews" are not Fox bad, they are William Shatner singing "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" bad.

    Hannity's suck-up session with Vice President Dick Cheney last Thursday was so syrupy that it made those Julia Roberts celebrity interviews on "Entertainment Tonight" look like Prime Minister's Question Time in the English House of Commons.

    Hannity, the wide-eyed conservative who is paired up with in-his-place "liberal" Alan Colmes on Fox's creepily amusing "Hannity & Colmes" show, did not so much fawn over the vice president as desperately beg the big guy for approval. Hannity wasn't merely tossing softball questions; he was playing up to Cheney like a half-wit intern trying to get on the good side of an annoyed boss.

    "Well, here you are in the all-important swing state of Ohio," Hannity began.

    "Right," Cheney replied.

    "The president yesterday mentioned the shameless scare tactics that are being used by the Democrats and more particularly John Kerry, who is now on the stump regularly saying that there's a big January surprise," Hannity said, referring to talk of privatization of Social Security.

    "Right," Cheney replied.

    Seated on a hokey set where he was surrounded by bales of hay, the vice president did his best to answer Hannity's questions seriously. But it was simply impossible. As the questions got sillier and sillier, the vice president grumbled out the sort of several-word responses that are usually reserved for the final uncomfortable minutes of sit-down sessions with the editorial board of the Mason City Globe Gazette.

    Holding up a booklet, Hannity breathlessly announced, "I brought another prop with me."

    "You brought a lot," Cheney observed, with all the enthusiasm of an airline passenger being chatted up by a hyperactive seatmate.

    What makes Hannity's performances all the more hilarious is the fact that the Fox host does not appear to have the faintest inkling of how of how much his "interviews" look like a local television station's "remote" broadcast from the grand opening of a new car wash.

    When the session was finished, an excited Hannity greeted the Democratic guest on his "fair-and-balanced" program, U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. After Hannity referred to what had just finished as "the interview I had with the vice president," Landrieu corrected him. "I wouldn't call what just happened with the vice president an interview. I think it was an infomercial for the Bush-Cheney reelection campaign."

    Hannity blew up, screaming, "Senator, senator, I think you're a lousy senator, okay?" Then he whined, "If you don't like it, I don't really care."

    But, of course, he did care.

    After the Fox host repeatedly interrupted Landrieu, the senator said, "Sean, let me finish please. You did not interrupt the vice president."

    "Well, you're not the vice president," Hannity growled, "and I doubt you ever will be."

    The man is serious.

    That's the genius of his humor.

    Other shows hire writers to come up with funny lines. Hannity is funny without even trying.

  • Well, Hannity's no Jeneane Garafolo but I suppose when you have ratings that dwarf anybody that you listen to. I'd keep your opinions to yourself. At least you got the right show for funniest man on TV, because Colmes gets that honor first and foremost.

  • What the HELL is going on here? If someone is threatening to kill us, I wanna see the tape. I wanna know whether my family is at risk and whether there is anything I can do to protect them. ABC should stop playing politics here and show he tape. Is my family at risk YES OR NO!!! F***CK the elections. I want to know whether my family is at risk. Show the tape. If anything happens to my family that could've been averted by showing the tape, I swear I won't rest till all of you go to jail for that. I'll never watch ABC again untill the show the tape or give it to NBC or CBS or FOX. Now I hear they left out 15 minutes of of the tape they gave to the CIA on Drudge. SHOW THE F**CKING TAPE!!!

  • Al Jazeera has just played a tape of Osama bin Laden that refers to a recent event in Iraq. It was authenticated by “the government,” though I’m not sure what agency. The tape lists a litany of complaints about the Bush Administration and highlights the motivation behind September 11.

    “The Bush Administration resembles a corrupt Arab government.”

    “Bush is misleading Americans.”

    “September 11 would have been less severe if George Bush had been more alert,” Bin Laden said.

    “In addition, the infidel George Bush is outsourcing America’s future with tax cuts to the wealthy. Where are the 1.6 million jobs? The infidel Bush is the first infidel since the infidel Herbert Hoover to lose jobs! Awake from your slumber, America! The infidel John Kerry has a plan. You can do better, Insha’Allah!”

    “Let me tell you, I spoke to the infidel Christopher Reeve a week ago, and if the infidel John Kerry is elected President, Insha’Allah, the infidel Christopher Reeve will walk again!”

    “Are you infidels aware that the infidel John Kerry killed infidels in a war of imperialist infidel aggression in Southeast Asia?”

    “The infidel Mary Cheney is a lesbian.”

    “Let me tell you, I spoke to the infidel Teresa. By Allah, did you not know that Laura Bush never had a real job!

  • William Milliken (Republican), former Michigan governor:

    This president has pursued policies pandering to the extreme right wing across a wide variety of issues and has exacerbated the polarization and the strident, uncivil tone of much of what passes for political discourse in this country today
