This is absolutely absurd. The Republicans are now threatening the Democrats for holding hearings on Iraq yesterday: Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) is threatening to punish Democrats for using an Appropriations Committee room for an unofficial hearing on Iraq oversight if it happens again. “They better stop this,” the Mississippi Republican said. “This will be the […]
This time he raises the question no other journalist has had the balls to – what did Bush do to prevent 9/11? A vital question if there is any. We have the full transcript up at Crooks and Liars. The most interesting part (and there were plenty) was when Olbermann finally calls bullshit on the […]
Yesterday the DNC sent out a press release about the Clinton interview. Within that statement, it said this: To view President Clinton’s appearance on Fox News Sunday, go to: http://releases.usnewswire.com/redir.asp?ReleaseID=73056&Link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYm1TH23e9E Now click that link and you will be taken to a YouTube page which says the following: This video has been removed at the request […]
Apparently it is a good thing when used by the Reverend Jerry Falwell. He called Hillary Clinton “Lucifer” in a sermon, and is defending that as being a “joke”. So when a religious leader calls one of our senators (and a former first lady) Lucifer, it is ok, yet when Chavez calls Bush the devil, […]
For a President and Secretary of Defense who always talk so highly of their working relationship with the military, I wonder how they will respond to this: The Army’s top officer withheld a required 2008 budget plan from Pentagon leaders last month after protesting to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld that the service could not […]
Iraq’s involvement in 9/11 – none WMDs found in Iraq – zero Saddam’s ties to terrorism – zilch Number of terrorists created from Iraq war – a shit load. These are the facts that have come out from Bush’s own spy agencies. Everything we have been fed by the Bush administration these past 3+ years […]
A story is making the rounds by the AP talking about the locked out A.K. Steel workers, here in my own town. This isn’t the first time the story has made national news, as the lock out has gone on for most of the year, but it is now at the point that the striking […]
Yup – that is a big news alert. Phil Angelides, a gubernatorial candidate in California says he would bring the National Guard home and FOX considers that a major news item. I wonder if FOX considers the two soldiers that died in Iraq today a “news alert”? Nah – they don’t even deserve to be […]
Chavez: U.S. Detained Foreign Minister President Hugo Chavez said his foreign minister was detained by U.S. authorities at a New York airport Saturday for more than hour as he tried to return to the South American country. Chavez told Venezuela’s state TV broadcaster that U.S. officials alleged that Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro had links to […]
This is a very sad “milestone” to reach: Now the death toll is 9/11 times two. U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now match those of the most devastating terrorist attack in America’s history, the trigger for what came next. Add casualties from chasing terrorists elsewhere in the world, and the total has passed […]
