Thomas McC.

I think the most interesting thing about TurdGate, based on the last three White House press briefings, is that the press no longer fears Karl Rove. The White House no longer calls the shots in the media. It may not seem that big, but it is a monumental loss of power for the neocons. With the help of their control of the media they lied us into war, passed bogus legislation for the rich, and kept W/C in office last "election." This scandal is to them what kryptonite is to Superman.

Rove claims he learned Plame's CIA ID from Novak
. Did Novak agree to fall on his sword for Rove?

NY Times and Washington Post rewrite history for Dear Leader. I guess they got Rove's memo.

AP's John Solomon falsifies story to protect Rove.

Remember how just days after the London bombing, they announced that the bombs were high power, military grade explosives - explaining how only 10 pounds could do such horrific damage? Now they're saying it was just crude homemade (in a bathtub) stuff. I wish they'd get their lies straight before they tell them.

White House decision to raise terror level during DNC for political purposes partly responsible for London bombings?

AP poll confirms, Bush is the worst president ever. Not that the stolen White House gives a flying crap about what We The People think.

Because our rewrite history for Dear Leader. I guess they got Rove's memo.

Because our de facto theocracy just doesn't go quite far (right) enough.

Enron's board of directors did such a good job of bankrupting the company, the've given themselves million dollar raises!

Report: 128,000 killed in Iraq since invasion, majority women and children.

Stupidest queer in America identified.

When RNC Chairman "Closetcase" Mehlman announced the GOP would renounce its policy of racism against blacks as the all American way to win elections (now it's homophobia), Rush Limbaugh went into apoplectic fits de facto theocracy just doesn't go quite far (right) enough.

As always, he thinks bigotry is the answer to everything. I half expect him to start selling Klan robes on his radio show.

Rush is off his meds again - or should I say - back on them...

Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA) has announced he won't seek reelection. Probably a wise move, as with the way the investigation of him is going, he's likely to be facing 8-10 in the federal penn.

Smoke and mirrors. While the Bush administration is pissing and moaning about a planned Chinese takeover of Unocal, their own people put the damned thing together. That's what happens when you redefine "patriotism" as "greed."
