Apparently, there are quite a few steps involved.
Who knew?

– Am I misunderstanding something here? Did Crowley have a copy of the rose garden transcript in hand at the debate?
– WTF.
They think they’re the only smart people in the room. They are wrong on many counts.
GAME THIS ProgTurds – NewsMax R vs O poll on Drudge (in progress) – results so far.
BBH, neo-neocon asked the same thing yesterday. If Crowley had a copy of the transcript, she should have read it on camera. Better, she should have just STFU, but she had to come in for the save after the beatdown Barry took last week when Lehrer wouldn’t hold his hand.
I expect Monday to be a bloodbath. All the big dailies; NYT, LA Times, et al are already saying “there’s nothing to see here. Move along”
– Well if she did then she was not only breakung the rules of the debate, it simply proves the whole fucking circus was a setup.
– Do these aholes really expect to get away with this crap? Seriously?
Well if she did then she was not only breakung the rules of the debate…
They are not really rules, more like guidelines, actually.
I think they’re more like suggestions, BMoe.
Do these aholes really expect to get away with this crap? Seriously?
Yes they do. They’ve been doing it for ages, cf. “Fake, but accurate” Dan Rather.
They can do whatever they want. The people aren’t paying any attention to the Wonce. There is an enthusiasm Grand Canyon between his supporters and Mitt’s.
This + Neoneocon’s analysis make a pretty good case for CNN colluding with Obama. There was also the Obama campaign worked who asked specifically about the assault weapons ban. Reminds me of Quiz Show. I’m just so sick of everything being some sort of spin or lie.
– I read the per-nuptuals. Both sides agreed to no notes. period. If the candidates can’t have notes what the hell is the moderator doing with them?
– Either way it just proves the whole charade was a potted plant convention.
– Oh wonderful. Now the freeking international communists league hiding under the cover of the UN will be monitoring our elections.
– What next? Are we going to add a damn Premier to the WH?
FTFY.
They have been since 2002. I personally blame Al Gore.
Well, except for Pennsylvania’s Pennsylvania Special hitting 115-mph (some say 127), behind locomotive #7002, near Elida, Ohio in 1905.
And Milwaukee’s class ‘A’ locomotive #2 reaching 112.5 between Milwaukee and New Lisbon, Wisconsin in 1935.
And who could forget Burlington’s plucky Pioneer Zephyr and her May 26, 1934:

nr, have you been to any of these events? I went to see Bush and Cheney when they did the whistle-stop tour in 2000. That was a lot of fun. I took my boys and even though we had to wait in line for ages, it was impressive.

Cool.
I haven’t seen Mittens yet, but I don’t expect him to come to OK since every county here is voting for him as it is.

Some people just have to have everything spelled out for them. It was plain as the nose on your face what OCBill was driving at.

What Women Should Know About Our Old Boss, Mitt Romney.

Good read. They should media blitzkrieg that shit…and reference Anita Dunn heavily.
I think it’s carpet-bombing time with the ads right up until the election, Pablo.
Romney gets awesome testamonials. Barry has petty bullshit.
What winds up on Romney’s toilet paper is bigger than Obama. These ladies need to tell it, loud and proud.

Sandra Fluke, the woman at the center of a media firestorm earlier this year after Rush Limbaugh called her a “slut,” spoke Saturday in front of about 10 people at the Sak ‘N Save in north Reno.
They interviewed Lily Ledbetter on CNN today. She’s an idiot. She’s all worked up about binders and found the comment degrading. Because nothing says disrespect like being considered by a Governor for a Cabinet position. Fucking moron.

Yup, Lily Ledbetter isn’t the sharpest knife in the block.

– Speaking of noses on ones face, Jug ears asked Springstein to do a theme song for his campaign. He said he had a bit of trouble writing a new one.
– Why not just use ‘born in the USA’.
Jug-ears is cratering.
The Unskewed Polls guy has him at 41% to Romney 52%. Disapproval rating is -24. It was -19 yesterday.
Jug-ears is cratering
That’s bad news for Libyan jihadi milk factories.
And aspirin factories.
Except he’d have to change it to “Born in Kenya.”
I know, I know. I denounce myself for my visigothery.
Springsteen is a hack. Sort of like the Wonce, but with more money.
– At best Bummblrfuck got something like a single point ‘bounce’ from the 2nd debate, and if that is actually real, only because the rat ass press lied in unison for him.
– After Monday night his Erkelness may not have to worry about it anymore. Some of the press elites are really starting to grumble, so anything less than a stellar performance and its probably all over.
– Some of his ‘supporter’s are starting to compare the state of his campaign to McCains at this stage.
– Another ‘curious’ leak on the eve of what promoses to be Jug ears most critical and difficult debate appearence. We report, you decide.
– Since this administration has shown such an open disregard for anything approaching candidness and honesty with the public, they can’t so much as cough without one looking for an ulterial motive.
Subprime loans again?
Speaking of college football, Texas Tech beat Texas Christian in a thriller today, 56-53 in triple overtime.
Typical ‘edgy’ Christian-bashing, because it’s easy and safe. If they had any real balls, they’d take on Texas Muslim for a change.
WaPo working the Obama pole hard to give him cover during the coming debate. Lots of slippery weaselly phrasing involved.
The Cairo protests only involvement, this coming from a phone intercept, was that al-Qaeda decided to use them as a cover and move up in time an already planned attack. This accounts for the “flash mob” aspect of the consulate attack. The attack on the more heavily defended annex was not flash mobbed as accurate mortar fire was used there which speaks of planning and prep in advance.
The consulate attack seems more of a feint, a distraction. Bringing fuel oil to set fire to the buildings meant they were at most hoping for hostages or at least deaths when those inside the security areas were driven out by the fire and smoke. After driving away all personnel there would be time to then break into and loot everything.
Doing the consulate first would draw attention there, enable the attackers leadership to gauge the US response, and allow the main force to get setup to attack the annex which I see as the main target, and one that is either not mentioned or just glossed over in most reporting.
Reports state that the British stored a weapons cache with us when they pulled out of Benghazi. The reports imply that this cache was stored at the consulate however the annex would have been more secure and also had more room to store things like vehicles securely.

Reading this morning that we had drones over the embassy observing the last couple of hours of the attack. Although a special ops unit was moved to a base in Italy about an hours flight from the embassy, the Obama admin did nothing.
Time to blow the lid off this mofo.
How, exactly, does that work? What cover does a military style assault need? How does this “cover” increase the odds of success in such an assault? Of what benefit is the Cairo attack to attackers in Benghazi? If there were a crowd of protesters in Libya, it would make some sense, but of course, there was none. This line is ridiculous. In fact, it is as ridiculous as this is hilarious: https://twitter.com/OFALinda/status/259790467150008321/photo/1
The local lunatic that’s out in front of City Hall every day with a bullhorn stages larger “rallies” than that.
– So this presents as a possible last ditch ploy to drag his Woniness over the finish line, intimating that if we Visagoths don’t reelect him we might lose the only chance we have to negotiate Iran back to the peace loving bunch they’ve always been. And of course the WH can play demuring innocents who only want the best, and if it comes out now it could torpedo the hero like efforts of Jug ears to achieve rainbow covered valleys of grazing Unicorns.
– They really believe we’re all that stupid, they really do.
Pablo,
I was going off my fallible memory of this piece.
In saying cover for the attackers I was going too far as they seem to have seized the Cairo events as presenting an opportunity to do something they had in mind already. Cover is however what the administration grasped at and may yet succeed in clinging to with heavy lifting by the press.
“Yup, Lily Ledbetter isn’t the sharpest knife in the block.”
Well to be fair she only needs to be the loudest frog on the biggest lily pad and only until early November..
The Cairo protest apparently though they were rioting so the US would free the blind Sheik.
Given Sandra’s rep you think there would be more dudes than that there just to hit on her.
– Well, hard as it might be to believe beemoe, apparently even Progs can recognize a skank when they see one.
