What’s the matter Bricker, cat got your tongue?
Buk-Buk-BuGAAWWKK!!!
In addition to what NurseCarmen said, KSTP radio is home to the far-right screech boxes who infect our airwaves. The lone anchor of the TV newscast is the former spokesperson for Republican Governor Carlson and the newscasts have taken a decidedly conservative slant in the last few months. You would have to look far and wide to find a station with more impeccable right-wing credentials than KSTP.
I don’t get what duffer is saying. Is the city a story originates from now relevant to it’s credibility?
That seems to be the favorite meme of the Bush-voting apologists these days – anyone which paints a less-than-flattering portrait of George W. Bush is obviously a part of the Vasat Liberal Conspiracy and has the credibility of a drunken wino muttering to his hallucinations.
He’s saying that if it’s from the wrong city, it’s actually not real footage, but some sort of Disney production.
I don’t know why Bricker hasn’t responded. But it’s not for want of courage. He’s not at all afraid to back his convictions, either in debate or with cash, as is appropriate.
Done.
I was away from the boards all day, on a shopping trip to let Mrs. Bricker burn holes in the credit card at Rehoboth’s outlet stores.
I trust my return and subsequent response is satisfactory.
I’m not sure; does this mean you agree to my terms, and we have a wager?
Fear Itself:
My first reaction was: Whattayou, !@#$% nuts? 
I don’t know why in the Hell anyone would agree to this. It’s hard enough to anticipate what a mere hadfull of damnfool ijits (let lone one known as GeeDubya) will say; but toss in the whole gaggle of damnfool ijits your conditions allow?
I say Bricker can beg off on temporary insanity, brought about by his rapidly diminishing credit line from a day of retail shopping with the wife. 
Though to be fair, Foley isn’t actually claiming that they found WMD based on the presence of the explosives; just that they indicate that Iraq ihad* WMD prior to our arrival.
It’s a fine hair, to be sure, and I don’t know how many ways that it can be split. But you can be sure that someone is going to try. 
That was foolish of me.
When I read “featured speakers at Bush campaign events,” in response to my requirement that someone in a public-speaking or policy-making role for the administration publicly makes this statement, I somehow imagined this as featured speakers at events at which BUSH appears, not every single Republican rally anywhere in the country.
However, that’s not what the plain text says, and I agree I lost the bet - send me your Pay-pal info.
I do NOT agree that merely because of my incautious acceptance of much broader terms than I wanted, that I have lost the POINT: that the administration itself is making this claim. I lost the bet because some GOP congresscritter took it on himself to make the calim, on a stage, stumping for Bush. This is not what I intended to disprove.
And that was gentlemanly of you.
Haha, that was quick.
I say Rick gets another chance, that was sort of tricky.
Aw gee, why’d you have to go and ruin everything by getting all honorable, and simultaneously make me look like the heel because I somehow took advantage of you? Ruined a perfectly good pit rant I had prepared for any whining or welshing. Damn the luck!
I suppose in order to maintain my own honor, I must offer you a chance to redeem yourself. What say, double or nothing on the outcome of the election? I warn you, you’d better be clear on the terms this time, I’m not likely to so forebearing twice. I pick Kerry…
Or you could just make a donation to my favorite charity right now…
I’m not a whiner or a welsher. 
I was considering the charity option, until I clicked it. shudder
Yes, I’ll take you up on your double-or-nothing bet. $200 to you if Kerry wins, zero balance if Bush wins.
Wins the Presidency. We’re not talking popular vote. If the EC ties and Bush wins in the House, then Bush wins. Etc.
What happens if he loses the popular vote and gets appointed by the SC?
Not that something as outrageous as that could happen outside of a Banana Republic of course, just playing Devil’s Advocate…
What ever you say, but it sounds like you don’t have a lot of confidence in your man. It would be like me including the option to call the whole thing off if Bush suspends the Constitution, declares himself King for Life and refuses to leave the White House. Which… is… just… ridiculous? Hmmm…
So what about if John Edwards becomes acting President? Not as far fetched as it seems in the present electoral situation.
