George Stephanopoulos has “corrected” Rudy Giuliani’s statement that ‘no domestic terrorist attacks happened under Bush’. The two key changes are as follows. First the title: Then: Rudy Giuliani: ‘No Domestic Attacks Under Bush…. One Under Obama’ Now: Rudy Giuliani Wrong in Saying ‘No Domestic Attacks Under Bush’ And then George added in a new paragraph.

This has got me absolutely speechless: Mr. 9/11 himself, the man who was the mayor of the town that took the biggest hit on 9/11, is now denying it ever happened? “What [Obama] should be doing is following the right things Bush did. One of the right things he did was treat this as a […]
I noticed a general message giving birth today – that we should have started focusing on Yemen back in the beginning of the whole war on terror. I can’t say I entirely disagree with that, but what makes it post-worthy is that I am hearing this argument from a lot of GOPers, the same ones […]

This is something I never thought I would see: Senate Republicans said Thursday that they would try to filibuster a massive Pentagon bill that funds the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an unusual move that several acknowledged was an effort to delay President Obama’s health-care legislation. Late into the night, Democrats emerged from a huddle […]
Greg Sargent has found out something very interesting: The House GOP leadership hopes to force Dems into an awkward vote on the plan to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in New York, a leadership aide tells me. The idea: If the House Dem leadership brings a big scheduled appropriations bill up for a vote this week, […]
BEARS!!!! A bear killed two militants after discovering them in its den in Indian-administered Kashmir, police say. Two other militants escaped, one of them badly wounded, after the attack in Kulgam district, south of Srinagar.
