Thanks to our new Attorney General. Thanks to Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein! Attorney General Michael Mukasey refused Friday to give Congress details of the government’s investigation into interrogations of terror suspects that were videotaped and destroyed by the CIA. He said doing so could raise questions about whether the inquiry is vulnerable to political […]
I mean they are suffering so much. Last year they only made mere billions in profit: Senate Republicans blocked a broad energy bill Thursday because it included billions of dollars in new taxes on the biggest oil companies. Democratic leaders fell one vote short, 59-40, in getting the 60 votes needed to overcome a GOP […]
You get to stay away from the doctor and hospitals and maybe even having your life saved! President Bush vetoed legislation Wednesday that would have expanded government-provided health insurance for children, his second slap-down of a bipartisan effort in Congress to dramatically increase funding for the popular program. It was Bush’s seventh veto in seven […]
And yes I am talking about the Democrats: After weeks of tough talk, Democrats appear resigned to back down again on providing money for the Iraq war. What happened? “Republicans, Republicans, Republicans,” said Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. “The real problem here is the president and his Republican backers” who […]
You got to love it when the man who ran the White House for six years debunks the man who ran the President for six years: SCARBOROUGH: We have to start with something that we all are talking about a couple of days ago where Karl Rove went on Charlie Rose and he blamed the […]
Shorter Rudy: Rudy Giuliani said yesterday he “never had any doubt” that if he were President four years ago, he would have invaded Iraq. He said he is now “even more certain” that it was the correct national security move. “I actually believe that Democrats are going to agree with me on that by the […]
Worse President Ever! Meanwhile, Bush reached an unwelcome record. By 64%-31%, Americans disapprove of the job he is doing. For the first time in the history of the Gallup Poll, 50% say they “strongly disapprove” of the president. Richard Nixon had reached the previous high, 48%, just before an impeachment inquiry was launched in 1974. […]
Now it appears the Pelosi and Reid aren’t even going to try and fight for ending the Iraq War: Democratic leaders in Congress are quietly preparing to give President Bush essentially everything he wants to keep the Iraq war going for at least another six months without forcing any change in course. Swept into power […]
That is an astonishing number from the latest ABC/WaPo poll. This country is fed up with how it is being run. I don’t give the Republicans the sole blame for this either. The Democrats have give their fair share of help to this low number. They came into power last year promising all this change, […]
No – not for President, but I am supporting him in this: Talking Points Memo’s Greg Sargent is reporting today that the Romney campaign has fired a broadside at Fox News, which issued a directive in the wake of John McCain’s “Woodstock ad” forbidding the use of their footage for campaign advertisements. Yes candidates should […]
