Lieberman swore up and down during his campaign that he would not switch parties. Now he isn’t sounding so sure. Editor and Publisher has a preview of an article slated for tomorrow’s Time magazine: “Independent” Sen. Joe Liebeman receives a mini-profile titled “What Joe Wants,” a key question since he is “the Senate’s one-man tipping […]
I am taking a moment to leave the political world and discuss something else. The media has an obsession. That obsession is with stars and it is very dangerous. We are almost on a week now of all this “Britney shaved her head” coverage. When has America sunk so low to be this engaged in […]
That is the latest piece by Froomkin in today’s WaPo talking about the Libby trial: There is a cloud over the vice president . . . And that cloud remains because this defendant obstructed justice,” Fitzgerald said. “There is a cloud over the White House. Don’t you think the FBI and the grand jury and […]
A press conference today with the Army’s top brass said that their is no lack of funds causing the problems at Walter Reed, but rather it was a “failure of leadership”. This is something I had pointed out here , however the right-wing darling blogger, Michelle Malkin, decided to not talk about the actual “failure […]
British troops are starting to leave and Denmark is joining them. Amazing that this is happening while we are increasing our presence there. The other amazing thing is that Blair announced a “timetable”. I guess he wants to embolden the enemy. Will the Republicans and Bush call him a “cut and runner”?

TPM has this statement from the NRCC about one of their contributors being indicted on charges of funding terrorism: We are extremely concerned and disturbed by these charges but we need to be careful not to rush to judgment as the judicial process moves forward. If the individual in question is actually found guilty of […]
Especially Dick Durbin: According to the Associated Press, Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari, a self-proclaimed life member of the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s “Inner Circle Leadership Committee†has been indicted on charges of financing a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan. The AP obtained a resume in which Alishtari states that he became an NRSC Inner […]
CNN just reported that the Army Chief of Staff said he had no idea of the problems at Walter Reed (why do I have problems buying that?). They also reported that the Army will be working “stringently” to correct the problems. Interesting that he had no idea what was going on right across the street.
From the White House that is. They are spinning as hard as they can on the Walter Reed fiasco. Tony Snow showed this spin during the first part of today’s presser: The problem is that this spin isn’t going to work. Basically Snow is saying they don’t want to talk about it. They are trying […]
