"Juror No. 4 was a lawyer, and the problem with having lawyers on
juries is they bring into that jury room with them three years of
legal training. And one of the things that legal training does to
you is it basically beats the common sense out of you," he said.

Oh god forbid a jury of your peers aren't dumbasses!

April fools RFC for 2004. My personal Fav:

OR3: The OP must be able to communicate through uncooperative
firewalls, NATs, and when the computer is disconnected from
the Internet.

Plus its not a big long circular loop of RFC's like Abaddon got spoofed on a while back...

Both sides are making this political. Clarke to sell books, but Bush to pospone the release of important information regarding how well he and his administration handled one of the worst events in American History. Which is do you care about more?

] this investigation. I also really despise any insinuation

] nothing to stop it. That's just absurd.

I agree as well.

My complain is Bush's decisions are based seemly *entirely* on public opinion. He didn't think Rice testifing was important until after the media reamed him for a week. Bush kept moving the Exit date from Iraq earlier and earlier the more soldiers died. A man who makes policy based on opinion polls is not a man to be President. That statement applies to all candidate or officals.

You considered it necessary? Or you consider it necessary only after getting your ass handed to you by the media during the last week?

Seriously this man so transparent. Why would any vote for him in Nov?

Agreeing to let? WTF? What good is a special investigation commitee if the executive branch can decide whether or not to give public testimony. Did LBJ try to pull that shit with the Warren Commition? Hell no.

Thanks almost a funny/sad as Bush saying "Testify... I'd be happy to visit with them."
