So goes it goes for Bush. He was planning on the immigration bill being his legacy. Well his own party just did him in. The ironic part is how Bush is saying that Senate needs to work together to tackle tough issues. How many filibusters have the Republicans had this year? The same tactic they […]
This will be so much fun: The Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenaed the White House and Vice President Dick Cheney’s office Wednesday for documents relating to President Bush’s warrantless eavesdropping program. Also named in subpoenas signed by committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were the Justice Department and the National Security Council. The four parties have until […]
This was some great TV. While Coulter was doing her piece of cake appearance on Hardball, she got a surprise. Elizabeth Edwards called in to confront her on her hateful speech. Check it out (thanks to TPM): Coulter looked a little nervous during this call. You can tell she wasn’t expecting that.
No matter how much Tony Snow and the rest of the White House try to spin it, the fact remains – the news coming out of Iraq is not good. GOP Senators are also seeing this and not buying the typical spin: Sen. George Voinovich said Tuesday the U.S. should begin pulling troops out of […]
September is getting closer and closer, while our goal of “success” in Iraq is getting further and further: Sen. Richard Lugar, a senior Republican and a reliable vote for President Bush on the war, said Monday that Bush’s Iraq strategy was not working and that the U.S. should downsize the military’s role. The unusually blunt […]
I had a feeling the news of Cheney’s saying he is not part of the executive branch would start a fire storm. I just had no idea it would be this big. Rahm Emanuel is showing a pair and ready to really go after Cheney in a way that sounds perfectly legal: Following Vice President […]
Right wingers always look at us like we are crazy when we talk about the flat out lies the White House tells. Well here is they are actually the ones who deserve the crazy look. Think Progress has a video up of last night’s Countdown. During yesterday’s White House briefing, Dana Perino told reporters this […]
Condoms! A congressman is pushing a not-so-quick fix in the debate over illegal immigrants from Mexico: free contraceptives. “A slower rate of growth of Mexico’s population would improve the economy of Mexico. It would also reduce the environmental pressure on Mexico’s ecosystem. But a slower rate of growth would also reduce the long-term illegal immigration […]
Yes- I have yet again changed the site design. I have been trying to figure out the new design for months and came up with this one. I actually have been working on this design since before the move to Drupal. The new design is a lot cleaner and navigation is much simpler. Currently the […]
Then the Democrats need to start the subpoenas and date him to try and claim “executive privilege”. Sorry – that applies to the “executive” branch – a branch Cheney is not part of under his own “rules”. Let’s see how the administration argues it’s way out of that one.
