A day after the scandal breaks of Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fl) sending questionable emails to a 16 year old boy, he turns in his resignation to Congress. This was considered a “safe seat” for the GOP this fall. Considering how quickly Foley resigned, there must be a lot more to this sick tale. UPDATE: Cnn just […]
Untitled documentThe NYTimes got an advanced copy of Woodward’s new book, and the review of it shows serious problems in the Bush administration.

The Independent column is also very comforting. No matter how hard the Republicans try to rewrite […]
Not the person who told us about WMD’s in Iraq and constantly said the smoking gun for Iraq would come as a “mushroom cloud”. Certainly not the person who told Americans yesterday that they never received any information from the Clinton administration or Richard Clarke on the Osama threat. Oh wait.

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 […]
