    What I heard was that President Obama and Jeremiah Wright declared a holy jihad against Christianity in order to slay the infidels.

        Given your interpretation of his comments yes he could dumb it down.


        btw channel RT which is offered locally here just had a story on John McCain that I think even MSNBC would blush at. Makes Dick Cheney look like Ghandi.

          back to Brian Williams. he's gone. Lester Holt will be anchoring for the foreseeable future. good call by NBC.

          best one I've heard yet - the Zapruder film actually was the Brian Williams film.

                  Upon further review....nope. A solid 2-handed forehand.

                      Does that mean that Brian Williams is really the Vice President?

                                Soldiers from Abu Ghraib were punished once the truth came out, no?



                                and I'd say Saddam Hussein was punished for telling lies about the status of his WMDs as well.
