After 7 Years…
…you’d think they’d have their story straight (h/t to atrios.
But prosecutor Timothy Stone, in an attempt to draw a link between Hamdan and the al Qaeda leadership in the first Guantanamo war crimes trial, told the six-member jury of U.S. military officers who will decide Hamdan’s guilt or innocence that Hamdan had inside knowledge of [...]
Nancy Pelosi Has Some Nerve
Talking Points Memo reports that Nancy Pelosi is calling George Bush “a failure”
President Bush has been a “total failure” in everything from the economy to the war to energy policy, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. In an interview on CNN, the California Democrat was asked to respond to video of the president criticizing the [...]
When Do I get My Bailout
I always thought “personal responsibility” was a platform of the modern conservative Republican party, along with “let the market sort things out”.
