Anderson: I didn't phrase it as well as I might have but it's in there:

Most are dismissing this as essentially â��old newsâ�� and, certainly, not the WMD that we fought the war over.

I should have referenced the quote though.

Nice softball questions, James! Actually, I thought JJ pressed him pretty well on the Santorum/Hoekstra "WMDs found!" nonsense, though quoting DOD's response ("these are not the weapons we went to war over") would've been nice.

kevin: Yeah, I need to learn that stuff. I couldn't have done it yesterday because the call was at the office right after work owing to the Senator's schedule and I have very limited ability to download and install software for security reasons.

Unfortunately, I do not have podcasting capabilities set up so the best I can do is a text summary.

That could have been a podcast in a few easy steps.... signing up for the Gizmo Project (a VOIP service like Skype), calling the Senator by dialing out on Gizmo, recording it, converting it to mp3, and posting it. Simple!

Bhoe: The HCA thing has been out of the news so long, I'd forgotten about it. I've been pretty critical on that issue, although I haven't followed up in it in months. The grammar is mine unless it's in direct quotes. "Term limits was brought up" is perfectly fine, though. In that case, "term" isn't an adjective modifiing "limits" but rather "term limits" is a compound noun.

Nice softball questions, James!

Why didn't you ask him about his questionable sale of HCA stock and his lying about owning it?

Also, did he really say "Term limits WAS brought up"? You gotta love that Tennessee grammar!
