Is Democrats updating their Anyuone But Bush talking points, because on Hardball a moment ago, two 9/11 commission members, Ben Veniste and Thompson, both agreed that it was nonsense for Democrats to try to hang 9/11 on Bush, particularly in light of the much bally-hooed August 6th PDB.

Ben Veniste called Condi Rice “prescient,” both agreed that the memo was “junk,” the shoddy circumstances under which it was created was “frightening,” and that the only NEW information in the memo turned out to be wrong.

Meaning, for all you slow-witted readers outthere, that the document was, as repeatedly stated by the President and Rice, historical.

A television image aired on an Arabic television station April 10, 2004 shows a U.S. hostage who Qatar-based Al Jazeera television said identified himself as Thomas Hamill in front of an Iraqi flag.

Friends and neighbors of Thomas Hamill, a Mississippi civilian taken hostage in Iraq gathered Sunday, April 11, 2004, for a vigil outside the Noxubee County Courthouse, many wearing yellow ribbons and scrawling notes of support for his family after a morning deadline imposed by his abductors passed.

Thomas Hamill, a kidnapped American in Iraq, and his friends and family who are praying for his release. Hammill is by all accounts a decent American and an employee of Kellogg, Brown & Root subsidiary of Halliburton Co, and was captured while providing security for a convoy.

Or, in the minds of some, a war profiteer and the patrons of his bloody largesse. Kos, no stranger to obscene remarks, has this to say today about Mr. Hammill and his employer:

This is the same company that gouged the US military in Iraq for fuel supplies. Cheney is directly profiting from a war profiteering company.

Screw ’em, right?

One of these days Democrats are going to have to live with their words.

And, btw- can someone go take the time to explain to Kos why Cheney is still getting deferred payments from Halliburton. I am sure he has been told 500 times before and still wants to make partisan hay about nothing, so please use small words so he understands. I am tired of dealing with Kos and his scummy friends and apologizers. And by scummy friends, I mean you, Jeff Seeman, and you, Richard Morrison, two candidates for the House of Representatives who seem to like Kos’s rhetoric.
