A disgusting vat of filth that no self-respecting intelligent person would wade into.

So it never happened. Until Saturday, that is.

It didn't happen Saturday, either, but if you repeat it often enough you can pretend it did.

So you're saying the NYT lied. I'm OK with that - god knows they misrepresent everything else

... if you repeat it often enough you can pretend it did.

Like "Iraq is a quagmire, "Bush didn't sign Kyoto" or "Islam is a Religion of Peace" - got it.

We both know what the NYT actually said, and I am now officially sick of talking about it. Say whatever the hell you want.

Like "Iraq is a quagmire.

Boy, you really nailed me with that one. Ouch.

You're correct - we both know what it said, and you mean you're officially sick of covering for the douchebags that did it.

Since it isn't remotely true - yet every idiot on the left parrots it on a daily basis - yes, I indeedy I did.

In the Citizens Report on Iraq, readers will learn that progress is being made in Iraq; there are large areas of Iraq that are safe and prospering; that the enemy is being killed and wounded in astounding proportion to American casualties; that the reporting on Iraq by the dominant media is universally despised as inaccurate and misleading by those fighting for Free Iraq -- Americans and Iraqis alike; that the so-called antiwar movement, including the organizers of this past weekend's protest in Washington, is led by terrorist supporting Marxists as part of a global alliance seeking America's defeat in the Global War on Terror and that a prominent White House correspondent has allied herself with one of these groups. The report includes frank interviews with dozens of Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans, their families and several Gold Star parents. Those who think their support for President Bush and victory in Iraq has waned will be sorely disappointed.

From the Corner

JPod, please don’t mock John Edwards’ new mansion. Edwards Manor or Suing-‘em Palace or whatever it’s called could so easily have turned out like the two Americas: it was designed as two separate sections – a main wing and a subsidiary building which houses “John’s Lounge”. And yet the Democratic candidate managed to connect these two mansions with a $200,000 heated enclosed walkway lined with photographs of himself and his family.

Don’t you find that inspirational? Imagine if President Edwards were able to connect the two Americas with a heated enclosed walkway. Lined with photographs of himself. Including rear shots showing his angled nape.

The subsidiary building apparently has a “four-story tower”. Which is one story more than Edwards’ stump speech has. He’s got the story about his dad having to leave the restaurant in Robbins, North Carolina because he couldn’t afford anything on the menu, even though his dad was the mill’s production manager and the restaurant was designed to cater to mill workers. He’s got the story about the coatless girl going to bed hungry every night. He’s got a third Dickensian story about a guy somewhere in America whose factory is closing the very night of his speech.

And that’s it. So we’re all very excited to know what the fourth story walled up till now in the four-story tower is all about. Is it about a grimy urchin from the workhouse standing shivering outside the Ritz-Carlton in Washington in hopes that when Harry Reid tips his doorman with campaign contributions there’ll be a nickel left over for him? I can hardly wait.

compare and contrast- people responding to pnyc on fb and her trolling, and you responding to ty on this issue- which harms the respective board more?

He's a joke. He's still recovering from the funniest debate asskicking in history:

Edwards: (Trying to gin Edwards into a discussion of his daughter's sexuality by complimenting Cheney on his tolerance)

Cheney: Well, Gwen, let me simply thank the senator for the kind words he said about my family and our daughter. I appreciate that very much.

Ifill: That's it?

Cheney: That's it

The man sold bullshit stories to rubes. He was shooting fish in a barrel. Anyone can win cases as ugly as the ones he made his bank trying. Gimme a kid who drowned in a hot tub due to a faulty vacuum vent and I'll have two houses and a presidential campaign.

That article says nothing about Martin Sheen, flags of Cuba, folk singers, everyone singing "Blowing in the Wind," or pictures of skeletons wearing military uniforms. The military uniforms were being worn by active-duty military and veterans who were protesting the war. But, hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a politically nice story.

Was that article the only reporting on the demonstration? Believe it or not other news sources reported on the demnonstrations. Did you watch any of the coverage on TV? CSPAN ran some of the speeches.

Fallons testimony is totally different from Patreus. He would not commit to the surge, he would not commit to more troops, he wouldn't commit to anything. He would give no opinions. Their testimonies were like night and day.

It seems odd that they are pulling an Admiral from Pacific Command to take over Central Command. I say this because Central Command seems to ber land focused, so a Marine or Army officer would seem more logical. But saying that I have no idea what Fallon's background is. Was he just a rockstar in Pacific Command?

Because Fallon's background is in combined air operations, there has been speculation that he was named for that job in anticipation of a coming campaign against Iran. Or maybe that's just what we want Iran to think.

So . . who are these "86 citizens with experience in Iraq" who put together this wonderful report? Why do you choose to credit what they say, as opposed to, say the Pentagon or the Iraq Study Group? Because they say that MSM coverage is "universally despised"? Just curious.

As to this quote:

"there are large areas of Iraq that are safe and prospering; that the enemy is being killed and wounded in astounding proportion to American casualties . . ."

That's good -- but both of these points are almost completely irrelevant.

P.S. Are you already preparing your "the liberals in the media lost Iraq" speech for 2009? Will there be any accountability on the GOP side?

Cheney did handle that very well. Edwards' inexperience showed. He was trying too hard.

Anyone? Then go get those cases Sebby. There are still plenty out there.

Whoever came up with the GOP's "liberal media bias" strategy is a frickin' genius. How often does an idea not only allow your followers to ignore everything that you don't specifically sponsor (meaning reality), but also help to keep the media off of your back by creating liberal doubt in the mind of journasts (who do often lean left)?

The giant pass this administration has gotten on everything they have fucked up (which is everything) and Plamegate in particular is this strategy's most shining victory.
