Or as the educated people might call it, a time table: Iraq’s prime minister said Monday his country is now proposing an interim deal with the United States on the presence of American troops instead of a more formal agreement — and wants to include a timetable for a U.S. withdrawal. Some type of agreement […]
Talking points trump intelligence in this clip from today’s Hardball when Matthews actually pressed right wing talking head Kevin James on what Neville Chamberlain did wrong: The video is also available to download next door at Crooks and Liars. This is a video that deserves a good passing around. (now back to this god awful […]
Why did Hillary use a far right publication to reignite the Wright controversy? I think there is something more interesting to this then people are talking about. Is she hoping to get more talking points out for the wingnuts, which could be used if Obama becomes the nominee? If that’s the case then it proves […]
During Friday night’s Real Time, Republican Congressman Jack Kingston took to the airwaves to echo the right wing talking points of Obama being “not patriotic enough”. One of the memes that Kingston brought up was about Obama not wearing his lapel pin. Let’s take a look at people not wearing their lapel pin: (click for […]
The administration has been bragging that this is a major milestone in Iraq, and the media hasn’t been far behind. Now more details are emerging and it seems the law has some major problems: But now, under new legislation promoted as way to return former Baathists to public life, the 56-year-old and thousands like him […]

And not Hillary’s? All the pundits keep talking about Barack and his run being so historic, yet they aren’t talking about the historic impact of the Clinton campaign? When did we have a female President in the past? This is really something that has been eating at me. Neither one are my pick for President […]
That is what he told reporters yesterday. I guess the response would be “strong” when you consider Bush’s response on 9/11/01 after hearing the phrase “the country is under attack” So how much should we be applauding the U.K. government on this? First off – the Brown government had only been in power for 18 […]
I found it very interesting that so little time was dedicated to actual social issues. Global warming got very little attention, as did oil prices. Even when questions were asked on those issues, the candidates quickly ran to their old fear-mongering talking points of terror. For people that want to be President, they sure do […]
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 […]
