Since these things seem to not gain the attention of Bush speaking, I decided to post it and share it. Pelosi did a great job in her response – especially calling Bush out on his hypocrisy. Hopefully the press corp will push that during tomorrow’s briefing.
From today’s WAPO: Even as their confrontation with President Bush over Iraq escalates, emboldened congressional Democrats are challenging the White House on a range of issues — such as unionization of airport security workers and the loosening of presidential secrecy orders — with even more dramatic showdowns coming soon. For his part, Bush, who also […]
Eugene Robinson sums it up perfectly as always: Let’s deal with the circumstance that dares not speak its name: How much of the Mark Foley scandal’s impact is due to the fact that he’s a gay man who preyed on young boys? The basic story line — powerful man exploits children — would be the […]
In the 90’s, the Republican leadership in Congress decided to engage in a witchhunt against Bill Clinton that last for months and cost taxpayers millions. The witchhunt was about sexual relations between two consenting adults. The Republicans now try to blame Clinton for 9/11 and say it was because he was distracted by the Lewinsky […]
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”.

It’s still a bit stuffy in here as a lot of things haven’t been totally cleared out. For someone who has been “out” for a decade, Mary still shows major signs of just-coming-out syndrome. It’s what Jeff Gannon […]
Yup – it is freedom and democracy being spread old Bush style: Senior Shiite politicians said today that the American ambassador has told Shiite officials to inform the Iraqi prime minister that President Bush does not want him to remain the country’s leader in the next government. It is the first time the Americans have […]
You may have read about the letter sent to the Washington Post from the Joint Chiefs in response to a cartoon. If not then head over to AMERICABlog for the details. I am not in total agreement on this issue. I believe in the freedom of speech and that the Joint Chiefs should also be […]
