Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid on Impeachment
“I don’t see a connection between this and impeachment,” Pelosi said, asked about a newly released secret memo on US interrogation tactics. A moment later, she side-stepped a repeat of the same question by elaborating on her goal to “bring the country behind a return to an America that honors the vision of our founders.”
“I [...]
Jim Marshall (Bush Dog, GA) Hates Children
Jim Marshall turns his back on children, and sides with George W. Bush to cut S-CHIP.
As you’ll see when you click on the link, Representative Marshall once championed this program, saying “it’s not the fault of the kid if the kid doesn’t have health insurance.” Now he’s backing Bush’s outrageous plan to cut S-CHIOP [...]
Joe Biden is an Idiot, and His Staffers Are Intellectually Dishonest
After reading the following unfortunate quote at Susie’s Place, I placed a call to Joe Biden’s office.
“Hi, my name is Brendan Skwire. I’m calling because I read what Joe Biden had to say about Iraq, and I wanted to point something out.
Joe Biden said,
‘Other Iraqi politicians have said we have no right to tell [...]
“Something Completely Disingenuous”
Updated Below
“There was something completely disingenuous about the feigned outrage of the Republicans and the White House and then the Congress about this. This was classic bait and switch.” Bill Clinton, speaking on the condemnation of MoveOn.
In what I see as a transparent and insincere attempt to distract rank and file Democrats from their [...]
Censure the Post, Bob and Arlen!
Oh dear. It seems that MoveOn’s ad did more damage than anyone thought. Now the Washington Post is contradicting General Petraeus: just like MoveOn, they’re suggesting he may have cooked the books:
Apparent contradictions are relatively easy to find in the flood of bar charts and trend lines the military produces. Civilian casualty numbers [...]
DemocRAT Party Condemns MoveOn
The Republicans are right to call my party the Democrat Party: after seeing the despicable tally of votes to condemn MoveOn (more votes to condemn a freaking ad than there were to give soldiers time off), that’s the only conclusion I can come to: more than half od Senate Democrats are a bunch of rats. [...]

Jim Webb’s amendment goes down
This was the amendment that would have required that our troops spend as much time at home as they do in Iraq. Disgracefully, John Warner changed his vote and offered a competing, non-binding “sens of the Senate” measure.
You might expect that I’d be outraged at this, but honestly I think [...]
Drinking Liberally Tuesday
OK, I have a bit of a rant ahead, so let’s take care of the basic details first.
Drinking Liberally meets, as always, at 6:00 PM on Tuesday at the Tangier Bar, corner of 18th and Lombard Streets in Philadelphia. Free wings and drink specials for early birds. Bring a friend, win my socks!
As you’re all [...]
Pollack and O’Hanlon
What Glenn says. In spades, freakin’ spades:
It is difficult to remember a media spectacle to match yesterday’s grand pageant where Ken Pollack and Michael O’Hanlon were paraded across virtually every network and cable news show and radio program and heralded as “war opponents” and “Bush critics” who nonetheless returned from Iraq and were forced [...]
Why is the Washington Post Interested in a 60-Year Old Woman’s Breasts?
For the second time in a month, the Washington Post is focusing on Hillary Clinton’s breasts. I have no idea why.
There was cleavage on display Wednesday afternoon on C-SPAN2. It belonged to Sen. Hillary Clinton.
She was talking on the Senate floor about the burdensome cost of higher education. She was wearing a rose-colored blazer [...]
