(Image via Salon.) Gee, that Bob Woodward fellow knows a lot of interesting stuff. Like things that, had he reported them earlier, might have stopped a war, or changed an election. Woodward's latest late disclosure consists of statements by the late President Gerald Ford that Ford strongly disagreed with Bush about going to war [...]

You have to see this clip at Crooks and Liars to believe it.  In it, George Will completely packs his bags and boards the Short Bus to Woof-Woof Land.  Will is one of those unlucky souls who's had their brains scraped out with a rusty spoon by the RNC.  More than happy to be led [...]

  While the President considers how best to sell the country on escalating the Iraq war, and Democrats like Joe Biden try to figure out how to counter that strategy, it would be nice if someone could identify the good guys from the bad guys. Who, exactly, is our enemy? Lately, it's becoming a little [...]

Gerald Ford always seemed like a decent guy, from an era when it was possible to be a "moderate" Republican and not live the political life of a complete hypocrite.  But as the above photo of Rumsfeld, Ford and Cheney demostrates, Ford's legacy — at least the one that is wounding us all so greviously [...]

The next time some reporter unquestioningly writes up some dreck that spews forth from the mouth of Mark Corallo or Barbara Comstock — I want you to write that reporter with two words:  Dan Burton.  Because both Comstock and Corallo learned their stock in trade of smarm and [...]

I read David Ignatius this morning, and I had to let it sit for a bit — because "arrrrrrrgh!" was just not enough of a response.  While I was thinking of something a little more comprehensive, Brad at SadlyNo! beat me to it.   And it is a thing of beauty.  To wit: Bush says he [...]

(H/T to Wonkette for the photo.  Classic stuff.) Tell me the one about George Bush being the Decider again, because I think it's about time someone started asking lots of questions about the end results of his deciderating: Somalia may be the place that best illustrates a trend sweeping across the African continent: After Sept. [...]

(Photo by AFP/File/Paul J. Richards.  You can almost feel the mist in this shot, can't you?) I get an e-mail Tuesday morning asking if I can cover a couple of early morning posts or so, and I reply, "okay." But I’m worried, because I can never write when asked to do so. I spend the [...]

President Gerald Ford died last night, at the age of 93. From the Washington Post: Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr., 93, who became the 38th president of the United States as a result of some of the most extraordinary events in U.S. history and sought to restore the nation's confidence in the basic institutions of government, [...]

Ye gods.  This gets my nomination for Headline of the Weak.  "Rethink"?  That would imply that he's ever thought about it before. Take it away, Swopa! The closest advisor By Swopa Dec 26 2006 – 7:59pm Remember what Bob Woodward said, talking about Dubya on "60 Minutes" last October? "Late last year he had key [...]
