Other than you're getting your right wing shorts all in a knot again.

I saw the clip on TV, I read the Drudge report. THE SOLDIER WAS NOT COACHED. And those cheers from the soldiers in the crowd were not from some cue card either.
Since all we get is "sanitized" news from the war zone, don't tell us about how it would be if we were being "coached", because we are all being lobotomized.

You lose this one, Tom.

        The point for me is that it's been known for quite a long time, and is still a problem. - Mary Anne - 12/9/2004 10:27:42 PM
