      Hey Dana,

      Strong debate is MUCH better for our nation that the sucking-up that went on in the Bush Adminstration. Open debate is much better than the blind partisanship that went on in your White House too.

      Get a clue.

      Dana, if memory serves me correctly, by the time you got there Dick Cheney and his thugs like David Addington had already been marginalized.

        By the time she got there the major crimes against America had already been committed - the war, the outing of Plame, and the tax cuts for the top 1%. She just had to sail the USS Lame Duck into port. Not very difficult.

      She's starting to sound like Joe Scarborough: "When I was in Congress, life was champagne and carnations..."

          Well, when you look like that, you don't have to use your brain very much if you don't want to.

            -Well, when you look like that, you don't have to use your brain very much if you don't want to.-

            Well, how telling that observation is! Why, with Michelle Obamas good looks, there are some who could make the same statement about her. As for me, being female and all, I suppose I could make the same observation about Scott Brown (the hunk from Massachusetts who won the seat of Teddie). I mean, have you seen Scott's Cosmo pic? OMG!

              You are correct. I would add Mitt Romney to the mix, as well.

              I would add, in regard to Michelle Obama, that I have not seen any evidence that she has gotten by on her looks. She actually comes across as fairly smart, unlike Ms. Perino or Simple Sarah Palin, who are clearly nitwits.

      Seems to me and my very chancy memory that the biggest terrorist attacks of all occured on Bush and Perino's watch. What kind of memory does that Lady have anyway? Selective, anyone?

      I thought Obama was creating a cabinet of rivals, I sure wasn't expecting everyone to get along or agree. In fact I've been surprised at how everyone seems to be on the same page.

      Does this woman have the worst memory out of ANYBODY who has come out of the last White House? The precious clips prove that point.

      Perino: "When I was in the Bush White House we didn't have ... people going after each other"



      That's right, Dana -- you had people going after anybody who dared speak up against them {hi Joe Wilson}

      I saw nothing wrong with what Perino said or how she said it. How can you fault her for sharing her perspective that there was not a situation like this? She acknowledged how unconfortable those involved might feel. AND she said that she thought President Obama was right in advising people to ignore it and focus on the goal. Very diplomatic IMHO. Nothing unkind.

        Dana either has a short memory, or is not telling the truth. There was plenty of heat between people like Gen. Powell and Rumsfield, Ric and Rumsfield. Andrew Card and Rumsfield. Ok, basically anyone not named Cheney and Rumsfield. In Bob Woodward's book "State of Denial" Woodward states that when Powell was told the President didn't want him as Sec of State anymore, Powell said something like If I am out, then Rumsfield should be out as well.

      Ms. Perino,

      Maybe you needed the planes to crash into your home to realize there was a terrorist attack on our great country. WTF
