Ya know… It’s a shame that a guy who gets so much right can get so much wrong. Then again, a broken clock is also correct twice a day.

Bush Speaks, All He Says is Blah Blah Blah

Stay the course.

President George W. Bush has insisted America can still win the war in Iraq, despite a bleak picture of progress in the war-wracked nation painted by a White House report.

As Bush tried to quell a Republican revolt and thwart rising Democratic demands to bring troops home, he argued there were still grounds for [...]

All Surgeon Generals Complain, Bush Complaint Highlighted

If this isn’t a prototypical example of liberal bias, I don’t know what is. Here’s the headline and the first part.

WASHINGTON, July 10 — Former Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona told a Congressional panel Tuesday that top Bush administration officials repeatedly tried to weaken or suppress important public health reports because of political considerations.

truTV = Truly Awful Name

Oh yeah… CourtTV is dead. It has ceased to be. Or it least it will.

Four months after alerting media buyers that a re-branding was in store for Court TV, Turner executives on Wednesday officially announced that the network’s new moniker will be truTV, effective January 1.

As part of the re-branding initiative, the [...]

Blitzer and Gupta Assault Moore After Not Seeing “Sicko”

Wolf Blitzer had Michael Moore on The Situation Room to talk about “Sicko,” the must-see documentary of the year as far as I’m concerned. To some extent, Moore’s flick comes off as hyperbolic and exaggerated, but there’s more than a small part of it that’s true. Of course, you’d have to watch it [...]

From their blog:

Byrd and Clinton Tell Bush to Shit or Get Off the Pot

From the New York Daily News:

On Oct. 11, 2002, the Senate gave President Bush authority to use force against Iraq. Nearly five years later, it is time for Congress to say enough is enough.

The American people have waited long enough for progress in Iraq. They have waited long enough for the Iraqis to take responsibility [...]
