NIE Lies

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

Yesterday, Bush “used his weekly radio address … to challenge ‘misimpressions’ about the war.”

NIE Lies
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Georgie Dubya’s on the attack,
Slamming “misimpressions” about Iraq.
But the only falsehoods widely aired
Are talking points Dub’s “Brain” prepared.

Ode To GOP Hypocrisy (Updated)

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

The House GOP leadership seems to be in a bit of trouble for covering up Mark Foley’s predatory Net communications.  So I dedicate my Ode To GOP Hypocrisy to House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert and Majority Leader John Boehner:

Ode To GOP Hypocrisy
By Madeleine Begun Kane

When accusations first arose
V. Foley in the House.
The GOP top leadership
Was quiet as a mouse.

Had Foley been a Democrat
Accused of heinous acts,
Those fellows would have  trumpeted
Their “values” to the max.

The scandal keeps getting worse.  Did the GOP know about Foley way back in 2001? It sure looks that way.

For your reading (and viewing) pleasure:
* Lance Mannion tries to figure out if SNL was ever really funny.
* From OneGoodMove, The State Of Denial 60 Minutes Preview.
* Steve Bates tells us The Prez Can Do Anything.
* From Don Davis, Bob Woodward Finally Emerges From ‘State Of Denial.’
* Lance Mannion deconstructs Studio 60, which seems to have made him a bit grumpy.
