It looks like Bush is moving ahead with talks on his US/Iraq pact treaty: The Iraqi government will begin talks with U.S. officials later in February on a pact that would lay the basis for long-term strategic ties between Washington and Baghdad, an Iraqi official said on Monday. Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said Prime Minister […]
There was so much talk over the past week about the Daily Kos “Democrats for Mitt” effort. Wingnuts went as far as to accuse Markos of voter fraud, and the media wasn’t far behind on their echoes. Well if that is voter fraud, then you better go after Mitt also. Turns out he tried the […]
And they don’t care. That is obvious considering they won’t attend debates held by black or Hispanic moderators. Cornell West (who I am a big fan of) has this to say about the current GOP dilemma: The GOP debate in Baltimore at Morgan State University, led and moderated by Tavis Smiley, and currently being snubbed […]
The outrage over Larry Craig’s conviction is still loud and strong. I find it interesting to see all the outrage on the right. Today’s USA Today highlights some of this. I am still baffled by the outrage over Craig’s conviction by some of the same people who came to the defense of Mark Foley. Foley’s […]
Malkin today on the Craig incident: He’s a supremely arrogant, lying crapweasel. Blaming the press. Non-apology apologizing. How do you spell creep? C-r-a-i-g. Malkin during the Foley scandal: Very damning evidence. If it is all true, and it seems very likely that it is, Rep. Foley has shamed himself, his office, his district, and his […]
This is the man who was exhibiting his outrage over the Don Imus comments tonight on Scarborough Country. He said that these comments get into schools and get kids suspended. Here is the clip of it. The only problem is that a little over a month ago, Kohn was defending Ann Coulter calling John Edwards […]
I posted the other day about the letter that was sent to CPAC from some right wing blogs regarding Ann Coulter. These bloggers took a stand against Coulter’s hate speech. Of course the right wing darling, Michelle Malkin, was missing from that list. She did a quick little show of outrage over the incident once […]
I am taking a moment to leave the political world and discuss something else. The media has an obsession. That obsession is with stars and it is very dangerous. We are almost on a week now of all this “Britney shaved her head” coverage. When has America sunk so low to be this engaged in […]
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 […]
From Planned Parenthood: Over the past 72 hours, a 21-year-old woman in Florida was raped, jailed on an outstanding warrant (for a 2003 juvenile arrest), and blocked from taking emergency contraception because a jail worker had “religious objections” to the medication. This is an absolute outrage. According to the St. Petersburg Times, “A doctor had […]
