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”?
Malkin has posted on the conditions at Walter Reed and here is how much she cares: Good. The mess at the VA and in the military health care sysm [sic] is systemic and complicated.

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 […]
Starting with a tour of the run down building 18 and then followed up with a one on one with Jon Soltz of VoteVets.org, Keith exposed the problems I have been talking about at Walter Reed this week. This has become a national disgrace, one that points directly at the administration. As Jon points out, […]
I am sure everyone has heard about Mitt Romney getting heckled this weekend over being a Mormon. I found a video of it and decided to post it. I find it interesting at the end how Romney says we need leaders of faith and it doesn’t matter what faith. I wonder if he would support […]
