Just finished watching the recording of Sunday's "Meet the Press." Russert, true to form asked some tough questions. Second, Bush is no Alan Keyes when it comes to eloquence and sheer force of personality. If I'm handing out grades, I give Bush a "C". This interview wasn't a deciding factor for any voter. He probably […]
The axiom is: Every Republican since Teddy Roosevelt has done everything in their power to turn the environment into some post-apocalyptic wasteland. Everything every Democrat does is sure to improve the enviornment, making it more like a modern-day Eden every day. That being said, The New Republic's Gregg Easterbrook points out that scientists have actually […]
The gutless GOP senators have fired an aide who was accused of leaking damning Democrat judiciary memos to the press. With the collusion of many in the press (read The New York Times) the Democrats have deflected outrage from their own pandering to liberal special interest groups to the fact that some GOP staffer was […]
When I saw this I just pictured President Bush doing it and started laughing out loud. Remarks by the President to the Press Pool Nothin' Fancy Cafe Roswell, New Mexico 11:25 A.M. MST THE PRESIDENT: I need some ribs. Q Mr. President, how are you? THE PRESIDENT: I'm hungry and I'm going to order some […]
Former GOP congressman Bill Janklow of South Dakota was sentenced today to 100 days in jail for a crash that killed a motorcyclist. Janklow was speeding (as he has an almost legendary history of doing) and ran a stop sign before killing 55-year-old Randy Scott. There are occasions when I think that mandatory sentencing guidelines […]
Australian newspaper The Age has an excellent opinion piece by Caroline Overington. Most Americans also support Bush's decision to go to war with Iraq. They are not stupid. They know that the so-called intelligence about Saddam Hussein was wrong. Despite this, 67 per cent still believe the US did the right thing. Because I live […]
It seems as though there was some misrepresentation in CBS News' "60 Minutes" feature on former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill. The Wall Street Journal's John Fund also has some analysis of Paul O'Neill and his "issues."
The Weekly Standard has a good roundup of various news on President Bush's Thanksgiving visit to Baghdad, including an account of the trip by one of the soldiers who was there. The magazine also makes mention of last week's "scoop" by the Washington Post that the turkey and fixings that Bush held in that infamous […]
A New York Times editorial page has finally discovered the infamous, pilfered Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat memos. The piece, entitled "Partisan Hacking in Congress," is an abuse of the language. According to The Wall Street Journal, one of the outlets to receive the stolen memos, what occurred wasn't exactly hacking. A statement put out last […]
President Bush won't be looking to the New York Times editorial page anytime soon for advice on running a successful campaign. After all, the Times endorsed that tree guy, Al Gore, last time -- and we know how that worked out. Anyway, in the interest of being a good corporate citizen, the Times on Sunday […]
