There it is, don’t think his got any wiggle room left at all. Just after his disastrous, self-pitying press conference on his return from the secret trip to Argentina, I predicted that he would be tripped up on travel expenses, after reading how it was his frequent habit to refuse giving his travel schedule to the South Carolina media. One of Sanford’s main campaign issues when running for governor was constant criticism of his predecessor for racking up too many travel expenses, especially luxury flights. He has now definitely outdone the guy.
And he was just “doing his job,” not attending a teabag party, at the time. As it says at the link, the guy is also an official Republican leadership member in his state.
The person being interviewed below by Stewart is a corporate lobbyist and the mastermind behind the phrase “death panels.” This is the guru for the people spouting “it’s in the bill, read the bill, etc.” She repeatedly lies in this interview about the contents, wording, and even page numbers in the bill. Watch how Jon Stewart just euthanized her last night.
Note that the Daily Show bent over backwards to prove they were fair to this guest by not editing the interview at all. There’s no chance for wingnuts to claim she was ambushed or made to look bad due to unfair editing.
According to Tom Ridge himself, the Homeland Security Director at the time. Using the threat of a terrorist attack to change political outcomes is the very definition of terrorism. Charging that Bush was doing something like this was attacked as conspiracy-mongering by the mainstream media at the time. Now we have the direct word of the man involved that Bush was guilty of this. Think of the millions of dollars for the extra work hours of police, the time lost to families due to overtime duty to guard against a phantom “terror threat,” and the individuals specifically terrorized by this false alert.During this false terror alert (false reports to the police are against the law), Bush’s “re-election” margin, which came down to one state, Ohio, and was the smallest in US Presidential history, 286 votes for Bush to 251 for Kerry.I expect Keith Olbermann, who did the report below in 2005, to have something more to say on the subject tonight.
For some sort of unspecified, probably highly illegal, shit that may be part of Cheney’s “Program X.” Â The New York Times certainly wants you to think it was part of Cheney’s secret program. Â The hiring of mercenaries was definitely both secret and improper, and put the Bush administration in a compromised position as Blackwater racked up civilian death after civilian death, including outright murders. Â If they had been prosecuted, Cheney’s program would have been exposed.
CBS runs as fact some impossible claims by a shadowy, fly-by-night right-wing astroturf group. What’s next CBS? Alien invasions? There was much, much more basis for the infamous Dan Rather story on Bush’s lack of service in the Texas Air National Guard.
Robert Novak, the Douchebag of Liberty, has died of a brain tumor. Most people don’t know that he was also a television producer, of such shows as “The Capital Gang” on CNN for many years, and also a television show with his columnist partner for many years, called “Evans and Novak.” Here is a classic moment of entertainment from the comedy duo.
In this 1986 video, Novak goes after Frank Zappa, who was miles ahead of Novak intellectually and morally as well. Novak is fulfilling his “from the right” job while Tom Braden, the “from the left” host of Crossfire, was a retired lifetime CIA agent.
You can’t make this stuff up. Gingrey is the same self-righteous, Bible-boasting person who, when asked by Stephen Colbert to recite the Ten Commandments, couldn’t think of three of them.
