I'm reading a transcript of yesterday's on-air debate between radio host Hugh Hewitt and The New Republic's Peter Beinart when they have this exchange over What Would Harry Do? HH: And I think Harry Truman would agree with that. I don't think Harry Truman would ever agree to the International Criminal Court, do you? PB: […]
White House adviser Karl Rove's lawyer says that special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has told him that Rove will not be indicted in the CIA leak case. "In deference to the pending case, we will not make any further public statements about the subject matter of the investigation," Luskin said in a written statement Tuesday. "We […]
A couple of weeks back Sen. John Kerry did a softball interview in the New York Times about his efforts to resuscitate his hopes for running for president again in 2008. Kerry has decided that a year and a half after he lost the November 2004 election is the time to stand up to charges […]
I shouldn't be surprised, but the couple of conversations I overheard Thursday in the newsroom regarding the assassination of the head of al Qaeda in Iraq were along the lines those going int the more conspiratorial and insane parts of the left-wing Internet.

This doesn't prove Mr. Reid wrong, but it does illustrate the power of the Caesar's wife rule these days as […]
Well, it looks as though that whole "culture of corruption" thing going around Washington knows no party. First there was House Majority Leader Tom DeLay...and now we have Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid accepted free ringside tickets from the Nevada Athletic Commission to three professional boxing matches while that state […]
Sen. John Kerry is still fighting battles he lost long ago. In today's New York Times, there is what can only be described as a puff piece on Kerry's continuing efforts to lose Vietnam in 1971 and win the presidency in 2004. There's no immediate news hook on which to base today's article. The story […]
