Ok, let me get this straight. . . Bob Woodward got a leak about Plame from Armitage but covered it up while reporting about the case; he's on the witness list.  Administration mouthpiece Judy Miller played the first amendment martyr and went to jail after trying to get the word out about Wilson for Libby; [...]

  Oh, the stupid.  It burns. Sometimes you wonder how right-wing bloggers like Michelle Malkin keep from getting lost in the bathtub.  Do their more intelligent spouses and family members draw them maps on the bath tiles with a Sharpie?  When people are so ideologically blinkered and hard-headed to the point that they will deny [...]

(La MalKKKin's got your 'hot air' right here, buddy!)  You would think that any person confronted with a near-perfect record of staggering on-the-job failures would perhaps take a moment to reflect and maybe rethink their career choices.  If you were a soccer player who consistently kicked the ball into their own team's goal, a firefighter [...]

Uh. Mah. Gawd. La MalKKKin is really, really going to Iraq.

Mr. Rumsfeld’s remarkable speech to the American Legion yesterday [...]

Ned Lamont speaks: "My God, here we have a terrorist threat against hearth and home and the very first thing that comes out of their mind is how can we turn this to partisan advantage. I find that offensive," Lamont said in an interview Sunday with The Associated Press. We like.

Or will he only place his foot on the scale in favor of conservative, pro-war incumbent Democrats who blamed and shamed him during the Republicans’ impeachment overreach? The Connecticut Democratic primary is getting a lot of attention because the strong challenger, Ned Lamont, actually represents a grassroots movement of local Democrats fed up with the [...]

My political history with Howie Klein dates back to the mayoral campaign of our mutual friend Jello Biafra in San Francisco when we were all hanging out at the Mabuhay Gardens.  It’s so much fun to have hooked up with Howie again in the blogosphere (via, it must be said, Johnny Angel) and watch him [...]
