Of the communications equipment available to the President seem odd to anyone else?

He actually squirmed a bit.

Rove spins quite a yarn about the Booker School.

Compare his tale to this article from the St. Petersburg Times:

One of his many lies: Bush rushed into Air Force One, not pausing to wave from the door.

"Miller, the Bradenton congressman, hurried up the rear steps of the presidential jet while Bush went up the front. He paused in the doorway to wave to photographers, raising further questions about security that day."

Karl is crying "Fog of War." Hey Karl, what fog? What war? The nation was not at war on 9/11, Karl. The planes, according to the official story, were hijacked. The Air Force typically deals with the scenarios of hijacked planes nearly a hundred times a year. There is protocol and continual training to prepare for what occurred 9/11. Hey Karl, on the very day itself Air defense drills and exercises were being carried out to deal with a hijacked plane scenario. Acts of terrorism have always been dealt with as a crime, not an act of War. There was no war on 9/11, Karl. Somehow standard protocol malfunctioned on 9/11, Karl. It's practically impossible to fail. If it does fail, there is certainly an explanation, one that doesn't contradict itself. So far we have 3 conflicting accounts for failing to protect the nation. Karl Rove is vileness incarnate. Going out in public so confidently and just spewing cold blooded lies. He's one guy who I'd like to see get what's coming to him.

Absolutely sickening lies, BUT--

The good news is that Rove and Zelikow are painting themselves into a corner. We need to use their own statements to nail these lying motherf*****rs. These questions need to be asked of Rove at his next appearance (or adapted for Zelikow):

- In 2003, despite your crucial position as chair of the White House Iraq Group with responsibility for selling the invasion to the American public, you really felt it so important that two of your ninety year-old acquaintances talk the University of Virginia about their "service to the country" that you took the time to personally call Philip Zelikow four times to plead their case?

- Why would you handle such a matter personally instead of delegating it to an assistant? Do you normally handle such trivial matters personally?

- This was the official investigation into the defining event of our era, and there was already concern about the reason for Mr. Zelikow's appointment to the commission. Despite this, you felt your acquaintances' historical information about economic conferences and Republican conventions was so important that you weren't concerned about casting a shadow of impropriety and politics over the 9/11 Commission's investigation?

- What was Mr. Zelikow's reaction to being taken away from the 9/11 investigation in order to discuss this with you?

- Why did you feel it was the University of Virgina specifically that needed to work with your acquaintances?

- If the matter was so important, why haven't you followed up to be sure that the University has talked to Josephine Good?

WE ARE CHANGE--LOOKING AT YOU TO DELIVER ON THESE!

FOR INVESTIGATORS: Has anyone at the University of Virginia ever even heard of Rove's nonagenarians? If the conversations really went the way Rove says, Zelikow would have directed his people to get in touch with them. Who would Zelikow have delegated this to? Talk to them and their staff. Talk to Josephine Good...

Proving this story is bullshit isn't the same as proof of an inside job, but it's a step on the way--another brick torn down from the wall.
