National Security Burns While Wingnuts Churn – updated — Why do conservatives hate veterans? The Republicans can't govern. Conservatives can't manage national security, with the Bush administration is so desperate they're recruiting neo-nazis for the U.S. military. The only thing they're good at is launching swiftboat and scare campaigns around election time. Oh, and selling [...]
Olbermann Slams Bush On Birthday Lie
Olbermann Slams Bush On Birthday Whopper When I heard this one I laughed out loud. Via Matt Stoller: “It's a debate, actually, that I'm in the process of solving by advancing new technologies, burning coal cleanly in electric plants, or promoting hydrogen-powered automobiles, or advancing ethanol as an alternative to gasoline,” he said. Bush: I'm [...]

Oh, Ann
UPDATE: TPM Muckraker lays out Coulter's alleged scribe crimes. Oh, and there's more, because it evidently goes back 5 years. They started the push. Now TPM Muckraker has the latest dirt. More to come, no doubt. “We'll see what we can find on our own,” said Kathie Kerr, the syndicate's director of communications, noting that [...]

First, about Social Security… This was Joe on February 18, 2005: Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., is undecided about the concept of using payroll taxes to fund private Social Security accounts, [...]

Barbara Boxer Backs Into It
DEBATE ROUND UP: John Harwood on MSNBC said it all. He mentioned all the tactics Lieberman used that was like Bush in 2004. All Lieberman could do was attack, acting exactly like a Republican would to Lamont's Democrat. It was odd as hell. You'd think it was a general election in August instead of the [...]

Mayday, Mayday!
UPDATE: They're kidding, right? Billmon has the analysis… I know everyone is clamoring about North Korea, but I think TM readers have it right. Here's what reader John had to say: Does anybody really believe that Kim Jong-Il would ever attack the U.S. with an ICBM? An ICBM with a glaring signature saying that it [...]

From Vets to the FBI, No Computer is Safe
We're way past pathetic at this point. In May, the Bush administration announced that veterans were in danger of ID theft, with every living veteran, over 26.5 million, sent a letter of warning because their personal information had been stolen. Now, not only was the Witness Protection Program hacked, but a bunch of FBI “foul-ups, [...]

Bin Laden Unit Disbanded
Bin Laden Unit Disbanded From “wanted dead or alive” to not wanted at all. It really says it all, now doesn't it? The Bush administration has seemingly given up on catching Osama bin Laden. Michael Scheuer, on “Hardball” just a few minutes ago, called the disbanding of the “Alec Station” pure “madness.” The Central Intelligence [...]

Hillary Will Back Winner
UPDATE: Lieberman says, “I am no President Bush.” That he has to make this statement says it all. UPDATE: Now I've heard it all. Gore is now being called a “fair-weather friend” to Joe.

Bush Throws Dick Under a Bus
How do you spell hypocrisy? Glenn has more… Murray Waas strikes again, only hotter. Does anyone else smell a civil suit? Oh, please, oh please, oh please. Will clicking my heels three times help make it happen? God help me if I end up in Kansas. President Bush told the special prosecutor in the CIA [...]

Cheney’s Poodle
Woof! Pat Buchanan had The Cheney Doctrine pegged from the start, except he was thinking too small. No one will be surprised. We've known it for a long time. But Ron Suskind's new book makes it plain. Besides it seems fitting that if P.M. Tony Blair is Bush's poodle, Cheney should have one too. After [...]

Deconstructing Hillary
The Warrior Queen is on the political war path. Hillary isn't channeling Eleanor Roosevelt any longer. It's Margaret Thatcher all the way. \”Warrior Queen\” here we come. That's how Andrew Sullivan described her last week on the \”Chris Matthews Show,\” saying it may be the way to victory for Hillary. It's a cinch that Americans [...]

HEROES: From Fitz to Cmdr. Charles Swift
I'd almost come to believe they didn't make men like this in public life anymore. Patrick Fitzgerald helped restore my faith, but he's only one man. However, now we have another. Cmdr. Charles Swift was interviewed yesterday on “Hardball.” The last place you would likely find championing of the rule of law, which puts President [...]

Sniping About What the Terrorists Already Knew
UPDATE: Blood in the water… After Sulzberger's disgraceful shielding of Judith Miller, you'd almost think this was our girlfriend Karma coming back to bite him. If so, he's missing some serious flesh. But between the WSJ Bush thumping and the New York Times disgraceful stenography on WMD, it's almost comical watching these newspaper titans battle [...]

SUPPORT: Edwards, Lamont, Tester, Webb & McCaskill
SUPPORT: Edwards, Lamont, Tester, Webb & McCaskill I'm always thrilled when I get an ad, but the BlogAd for Donna Edwards gives me particular glee. It's in the right hand margin, at the top, in case you missed it. I met her during Take Back America in early June. She is as sharp as any [...]
