It says, in part:
“So you can imagine their glee when Paul O’Neill stepped into the spotlight, having been pushed by Ron Suskind. The book Suskind wrote “The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O’Neill” must have seemed the right tool at the right time.
The press, dealing with small news cycles in Iraq, and the ungodly boring events in Iowa… which everyone suspects will in the end be meaningless, was looking for some spark, and hoping they could fan it into a flame to burn down the Presidency of one George W. Bush. O’Neill looked to be the match to star this fire.”
CNN is saying:
“WASHINGTON (AP) –President Bush bypassed Congress and installed Charles Pickering on the federal appeals court Friday in an election-year slap at Democrats who had blocked the nomination for more than two years.”
Well, that, and because it was the right thing to do.
“NEW YORK (AP) – The Dow Jones industrial average reached its highest level since mid-2002 Friday as investors greeted strong earnings from General Electric Co. (GE) and the technology sector. The market’s major indexes were all up for a seventh week in a row.
GE’s earnings helped reassure investors skittish following Intel Corp. (INTC)’s disappointing revenue projections earlier this week.
‘The key thing here is that you’re starting to see some aggressive buying coming back into the market,’ said Jim Raphalian, head of institutional trading at Charles Schwab. ‘There’s more than one buyer for any stock being sold, and there are both institutional and retail buyers. And that’s because earnings are showing us that fundamentals are sound.'”
FOXNews.com is reporting today that:
“A recycling company found uranium oxide — a radioactive material also known as yellowcake (search) — in a shipment of scrap steel it believes originally came from Iraq (search), the company said Thursday.
Paul de Bruin, spokesman for Rotterdam-based Jewometaal, said that the shipment was passed on last month from a Jordan metal dealer who was unaware it contained any forbidden materials.
“I’ve dealt with this man for 15 years and he says he’s sure it came from Iraq,” De Bruin said. He said Jewometaal had been asked not to reveal the name of the Jordanian exporter while the find was being investigated. “
Boortz comments this morning that:
“That’s right…this is the exact same yellowcake that George Bush was talking about Iraq trying to purchase in Africa during his State of the Union address last year. Remember that whole brouhaha about Bush misleading the American people? According to a researcher at the University of Missouri-Columbia, the material found has no non-nuclear use. None. Zippo. “
Which should end the discussion about our intel of their obtaining yellowcake,a nd stifle the ‘Bush Lied” Mantra. Boortz also says to this point, something I lay out in 256 colors in this weekend’s BIT:
“Make no mistake, the cornerstone of their effort to win in November rests solely on the whole “Bush lied” theory”
Sorry, leftists, you lose as usual.
ROY BLUNT the Majority Whip had a refreshing response to Al Gore’s Enviro-wacko love fest in NYC yesterday. Gore, as you may know, decided to pick the coldest day in 40 years to address the issue of ‘global warming’.
WASHINGTON—House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) today criticized former Vice President Al Gore’s politically-motivated speech on the environment sponsored by the liberal activist organization MoveOn.org.
“It is fitting that Gore chose one of the coldest days of the year to spread false information about the Bush Administration’s record on global warming. Mother Nature didn’t agree with his message and neither do I. Al, it’s cold outside.
“From the internet to the environment, Mr. Gore distorts the truth. Has he forgotten that his former boss, Bill Clinton, never sent Kyoto to the Hill for ratification because it wasn’t the right thing to do?
“The Kyoto Protocol is a flawed treaty that exempts 80 percent of the world, including major greenhouse gas emitters China and India, from compliance and forces unfair restrictions on the United States that will hinder our economy and hurt workers.
“As the president and Congress fight to grow the economy and create jobs, Al Gore and his environmental demagoguery will only cause miners to become unemployed and laborers to be laid off.
“The United States has spent $18 billion on climate research since 1990 – three times as much as any other country. The president is committed to developing an effective, science-based approach to deal with global climate change including new technologies and market incentives to address this important world issue.
“Extreme environmentalism is bad for the millions of American workers trying to make ends meet and compete in a global economy.”
Anyone who thinks Clark won’t be easier to take out of the running in the general election than Howard the Duck is, had better consider the following.
DRUDGE reports Weasely Clark saying:
“‘I’ve been very consistent… I’ve been against this war from the beginning,’ the former general said in Detroit on October 26.
‘I was against it last summer, I was against it in the fall, I was against it in the winter, I was against it in the spring. And I’m against it now.’
But just six month prior in an op-ed in the LONDON TIMES Clark offered praise for the courage of President Bush’s action.
‘President Bush and Tony Blair should be proud of their resolve in the face of so much doubt,’ Clark wrote on April 10, 2003. ‘Can anything be more moving than the joyous throngs swarming the streets of Baghdad? Memories of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the defeat of Milosevic in Belgrade flood back. Statues and images of Saddam are smashed and defiled.'”
I usually don’t bother posting E-mails to this page. This, however is an exception. I consider that exception worth it, because it rather clearly demonstrates something I’ve written about before.
Be warned… it’s about what you’d expect from High-minded Democrats. (Pun intended)

Well, thank you, David!
You’ve provided an excellent example of light and love, the Democrats have developed into, to say nothing of how brainy.
And you wonder why they’re in such trouble with the voters, I’ve no doubt. Perhaps some of my readers will write you to provide you their own views, though personally, I tend to doubt it. They’ll likely figure you’re not worth the bother, being unable to understand anything beyond four letters.
In any event, I’m sure my readers will have you in mind come election day. And of the look on your face the day after.

This is the quality of people supporting Democrats, folks. Amazing that this guy can dress himself, isn’t it?

ABCNEWS asks the question:: “Dean’s Trooper
What Did He Know About Abuse Allegations; When Did He Know It?”
Interestingly, Drudge is reporting:
Dean’s campaign managers threatened to kick ABC-TV off the Dean Campaign plane if ABCNEWS ran the affidavit story on tonight’s WORLD NEWS, insiders tell DRUDGE… Dean Manager Joe Trippi said: “Im gonna come after you.” News editors made the Dean/affidavit story fifth in the news wheel….
I can’t help but think this would be story 1 during a Republican primary.
That said, how’s such threats going to play with the voters, I wonder?
Kennedy Says Bush Broke Faith on Iraq:
“WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Bush (news – web sites) marketed the war with Iraq as a ‘political product’ and broke faith with the American people by forcing them into an unnecessary conflict, a leading Democratic lawmaker said on Wednesday.”
Well, now, let’s go back just a bit, Senator. October 7, 1998. Iraq Liberation Act of 1998. Passed UNANIMOUSLY by the Senate. Which means you voted for regime change in Iraq. Now, I grant you may have been drunk at the time, and you may not remember voting for it, but you did.
So, If Mr. Bush broke faith, what did YOU do, Senator?
Think President Howard Dean can’t push through his massive tax hikes because of a Republican Congress? Think again. Most of the Bush tax cuts expire in 2006 and Dean will veto any attempt to extend them.
Here’s a calculator that can help you find out just how much Howard Dean’s massive tax hikes will cost you every year. Try it. Then ask yourself how much you would be willing to donate to prevent Dean from ever becoming president.

USATODAY sayts of Dean in Todayt’s editions:
“‘I think getting rid of Saddam Hussein is a wonderful thing,’ he saidlast month. ‘But the question is, is it a good idea to send 135,000 troops unilaterally to do it?’
However….
“In (a) 1995 letter (To Bill Clinton)…. Dean argued for unilateral action in Bosnia on moral grounds. ‘As the Catholic Church and others lost credibility during the Holocaust for not speaking out, so will the United States lose credibility,’
Dean went on to tell Clinton that America had to intervene alone because the United Nations and NATO were unable to act effectively. He went on to demand that Clinton bomb the Bosnian Serbs and supply arms to the Bosnian Muslims. He opposed using American ground troops.”
So, Unilateral actions are OK in favor of Muslims, but not against them.
Howard, you have some explaining to do. This is NOT going to sell in Iowa.
Joho the Blog: Let’s not retire the Hitler comparisons: ”
What an idiot.
He defends the use of Hitler against Bush. The arguments I’ve made here in the past about this nonsense being part and parcel of the Democrats today aside, let’s take him apart one bit at a time:
In his defense of the comparison, he floats the usual leftist chant that we (anyone not a Democrat) are engaged in :
* Demonizing enemies
So, what the left is doing with Bush and for that matter every other conservative they’ve ever faced, isn’t demonizing?
Calling someone ‘Hitler’ isn’t demonizing?
* Questioning the patriotism of dissenters
By all means, in his own words, we should continue to remember what patriotism is, and on that basis such questioning is not only valid, but a duty.
* Monitoring the political expressions of citizens
Can you say “Hate Speech’? I knew you could.
* Establishing a special class of offenders who are removed from the protections of the judicial system
It’s called ‘a war’.
* Lowering the intensity of the threat required to justify preemptive action
The weapons involved, combined with the track history involved did that. You clearly have little concept of a guerilla war. Such a lack of understanding is why Johnson lost us ‘nam. Neither was/is not a war that can be fought by conventional means, much less won by them. Perhaps you’d LIKE the US to lose, for your own political gain. And you wonder why people question your patriotism?
* Disregarding world opinion
It’s called ‘leadership’. Leadership and consensus are generally speaking, not equal.
* Playing on fear in order to sway public opinion
Reagan, supposedly, was going to start WIII. So too, was Bush. The world was supposed to end several times because of pollution and global warming. Are you saying these constituted invalid tactics?
* Lying in order to get us to invade another country
Oh, please. I’m not even going to bother with this one. Rather, I’ll give you some basic facts I found on the point. I’d suggest a bit of thinking would do you well. At least, do some research on this before puking it up, next time, huh?

(Check this link for yourself for the whole story on his last whine.)
Short version; it was no lie.
I’ll give him credit for trying, but that rock called truth is still crushing him.
Bush Seeks $1B for Moon, Mars Missions
President Bush had that announcement as I mentioned earlier today. Here it is as covered by the AP.
