After 6 years you think we would all get used to “Bush speak”: Six of the eight U.S. attorneys fired by the Justice Department ranked in the top third among their peers for the number of prosecutions filed last year, according to an analysis of federal records. In addition, five of the eight were among […]
The Democrats want to give the citizens of Washington D.C. the basic democratic right the rest of the country enjoys – representation in Congress, but Bush is ready to put a stop to that: The White House on Tuesday threatened to veto legislation giving the District of Columbia a vote in the House, possibly prolonging […]
Yesterday posted about the mountain of failures this administration has had. From Iraq to Katrina, it can be a full time job just documenting all the wrong turns the Bush White House has made. Also yesterday, we saw the first Republican publicly calling for Gonzales to go. John Sununu has been critical of the administration […]
Funny how Bush always says that the historian’s will judge him in the future and they will judge him as being a great leader and visionary.

CNN just reported that White House spokesperson, Dana Perino, was asked about Harry Reid’s statement. She quickly turned it around to say that the “Democrats will use this for politics”. I guess it was fine and dandy for the Republicans to use a blow job for politics in the Clinton years, but when it comes […]
That is the headline of an AP article today. At first read you start to think “great – here we go again with pork barrel spending”. It sends a feeling of “bridges to nowhere” encompassing my body. But when you read the article, you find out that is not the case at all. While Democrats […]
Cheney made a surprise visit to Pakistan to tell them to get tough on al Qaeda. What is interesting is exactly what he said to them: Vice President Dick Cheney made an unannounced trip to Pakistan on Monday to deliver what officials in Washington described as an unusually tough message to Gen. Pervez Musharraf of […]
TPM has this: Oops! Building on my last post on the NRCC’s bogus Business Advisory Council and “Businessman of the Year” program, it turns out that Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari isn’t the first member of the council to be indicted on charges of supporting terrorism. Yasith Chhun, the head of the Cambodian Freedom Fighters, […]
