Tom Brokaw Helpfully Corrects Prime Minister Alawi

You know, there's a great amount of psychological import in having an Iraqi leader I can call Prime Minister. We're going to feel the effects of this more and more as we go. As others have pointed out, from here on out, Al Jazeera won't be able to run footage of Paul Bremer issuing orders; all the orders will be issued by Alawi, an Iraqi, speaking his native Arabic.

But anyway.

The MRC catches Brokaw "correcting" the Prime Minister of Iraq on Saddam's Al Qaeda ties (first item). Eh, what would Prime Minister Alawi know. He's just Prime Minister of Iraq and all, and just a man who's been opposing Saddam for 30 years, while Brokaw and his buddies at CNN were coddling him.

Check out the last item, too. Once upon a time I was rooting for Dave Letterman to get the Tonight Show slot; and then I rooted for him to trounce Leno. No more.

He stopped being funny around five years ago, at least. Actually, some say he stopped being funny during the whole NBC dispute in 1991-1992 or so. And now he's also a partisan shill in addition to being unfunny.

I'd suggest boycotting him, except it seems that most people already aren't watching him for non-political reasons.

As a country song (I think) says, Dave, when that Nielsen box ain't pinging, that's me not watching.

Uhhhhhh...ya got any gum? HA-HA

Would you sell me a hotdog?

You know, that Norm MacDonald impression was deadly. That was the first time that Letterman had been viciously mocked. When I saw that sketch, it really did change my opinions on Letterman.

All that stuff-- you got any gum, Would You Sell Me a Hotdog, the often interminable and pointless back and forth with Paul -- was stuff Letterman was really doing. Too much of his "comedy" was that "found comedy" schtick which was fun and novel when he first did it -- 20 years ago-- but which became increasingly predictable and not-funny. It's lazy comedy, really.

Watching that Norm MacDonald bit, I went from someone who loved Letterman to someone sitting there thinking, "You know, this stuff-- it's actually not very funny, now is it?"

I think you're wrong about Dave's politics. He's pretty evenhanded and I know he really admires the way the President handled 9-11. A lot of Dave's political sympathies are evident in delivery. His jokes about Clinton always revealed a real contempt for the man which I felt was visceral. Dave makes fun of the Pres. sometimes, but it's always good-natured and I don't believe he really thinks the President is dumb or corrupt. And his contempt for Moore is obvious. You're right about his not being near as funny though. I think he got tired after the move to CBS and slowly stopped caring. That found comedy of his has to always be rediscovered in order to stay fresh and relevant and funny. He stopped that proces a few years back.

Actually, the apathy and constant insults directed as Les "Lunch-With-Castro" Moonvez were quite funny for a while. I haven't watched him in a long time ,however, since I just can't stay up that late anymore.

But it's kind of natural for comedians to make fun of whoever is currently in office. Even if you like the person. Does he crack on Kerry at all?

Guys, Guys, Guys.

Can I remind you of the Hillary interview?

And you're wrong that Dave gave credit to George Bush's 9-11 leadership. He gave credit -- all credit, with none for Bush -- to Rudy Guiliani.

. He's pretty evenhanded and I know he really admires the way the President handled 9-11

He gave a free ride to Moore, praising the film as mindblowing, then he did a top ten list calling Moore's film 97% true, and then, last night, he had on Joe Wilson.

Now, I don't know how he interviewed Wilson, having not seen it. But I've read he just allowed him to spin his tale without contradiction.

Dave also fell for the "North Pole is melting" phoney NYT story, and continued to pump it after even the NYT retracted it.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.
For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.
More "fedslop" that Cavernous Nostrils is too smart to be taken in by:

Blake Neff
@BlakeSNeff

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."
Fenix Ammunition
@FenixAmmunition

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.

And a song with another song as an intro, too:
Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch
There's something
Inside that we need so much
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again

Boy do they look like absolute dorks.
