Good place holding place. BBL

Even the text books are biased. My daughter's AP history book had the Bay of Pigs fiasco as happening during the Eisenhower administration. No mention of Kennedy at all.

I read a good part of that textbook. It's a good thing I was alive during most of the so called 'facts' they were presenting.

The cartoon can be viewed here:

I tried to post the cartoon itself but when I previewed the post, I just got a box with a red x in it.

Since Menendez resides in the gutter he'll just have to put up with the revelation.

He put his mistress on his payroll and lived with her while still married. He has some interesting weasel words explaining it all......LOL

Like McGreevy, Corslime, and Klinton, they have no personal integrity at all. Not to mention Toricelli and assorted other crooks in NJ

[RetSignman]

Yeah, he got the idea from Cicero but Spincter is so dumb, he didn't know you have to actually supposed to remove them when you speak in public.

[Chuck54]

I just knew your previous post was not your last effort on this.

You are the greatest at this sort of stuff.

Thanks for getting the political cartoon posted.

I'm trying to track down the circumstances of Cooper leaving time, as well.

... (Cooper) went to Russert's wife for a Vanity Fair Job, they were not interested. Then he is getting a job in Portfolio magazine(never heard of it, it is business related mag)....

it's a new startup, Conde Nast Portfolio, and the full title is significant.  Conde Nast owns Vanity Fair.  Maybe Russert's wife did come through, but wouldn't put him in her own rag.  Also, notice that he's being cut off from politics.  I think they know this is likely to blow up in their faces and they don't want him anywhere near politics or politicians.

This is the journalistic equivalent of a soldier who screws up being sent to a weather station in the Aleutians.

Remember Viveca Novak?

I don't -- what's the story?

[RetSignman]

Considering the Imus oddities, I would rather think it wasn't a typo.

[Mo1]

I don't think any of that will matter

This debate is horrible .. Tom Kean, Jr. is not ready for prime time .. plus he keeps stuttering

BTW .. Kean just mentioned how he is against off shore drilling and against drilling in Alaska's

Oh oh .. Mendez just accused Kean of being part of Big Oil because of his investments

Kean shot back with .. I'm not the one who has taken $65,000 since 94 from Oil Companies like Bob Mendez has

[Phsstpok]

Thanks, Peach, you beat me to it.

That is a good one, Barset. May I also recommend that everyone follow the link to Cox and Forkum where the cartoon is. They have a couple of excellent excerpts, one from IBD and one from NRO.

[Mo1]

Kean, Jr. just said he is in favor of raising the min. wage

[OldFriend]

Kean is only there because of Daddy dearest. He is a total lamebrain.

He will get the vote against Menendez.

[BonnieJ]

Gore is good for laughs anyway (NO laughs from or about Hillary, she's just not even likable enough to parody)...Like with Gore's recent statement that "the earth has a fever", that is hilarious. You'd think he was joking with some of this stuff but no...He's just being classic Al Gore!

[Phsstpok]

Now that is gonna leave a mark!!

Excellent question. I'm sending it (with your permission and giving credit to you) to my congresswoman and both of my Senators, suggesting they bring this up if there's any cheap shots taken about the so called funding cuts to NYC.

Can you post or freepmail me the way your question was "signed?" If it's OK to forward this I want to be able to provide the reference so that they can find the cspan clip.

[Mo1]

Kean is only there because of Daddy dearest. He is a total lamebrain

He's worse then a lamebrain

He was totally pathetic

Can't NJ come up with better candidates?

Screaming Eagle Mom, thank you for bringing the forum's attention to this excellent post.

It's a behind the scenes video of Fox News Watch. They were discussing the Media's reporting of the tragedy that befell the 101st vs. the reporting of the charges brought against the Marines this week. According to Neal the news is accurate. Of course I beg to differ. This week the Chicago Tribune had the 101st Tragedy on page 10. The charges against the Marines was on Page 1. Needless to say I canceled the subscription.

Neal is a rabid dog who should be put out of his misery - like getting a job a Err America instead of at Fox. I don't know if he just is undereducated or simply stupid. He obviously is unaware of this country's magnificent history that was given to us by The Soldier. It's incomprehensible that anyone living in this country does not understand what gifts we as a nation have given the world. People like Neal must be either rabid or mentally deficient.

Once you are at the site, please scroll down to a larger red bar that says Behind the Breaks and click on the picture of Behind the Break Part 1. I'm sure you can take it from there. There is a 30 sec. commercial before the interesting bit starts.

Miss Marple, thank you for your "beforeyougo.us" post. It was very touching. I needed to bring you down to "Neal's Rabid World". Just joking of course, I'm not that mean, really.

And Coop, I just like the work you do. It's amazing

Wolf was trying to pit he and Pervez Musharraf, as having "fights"...Karzai said NO.

Wolf said that Afghanistan is falling apart re: the uproar over that accident weeks ago....Karzai said NO.

Wolf was quoting a Newsweek article talking about no electricity, no commerce, blah, blah.

Karzai said that Newsweek comes over for ONE DAY, and writes a negative article...and it is wrong.

Wolf says that Bin Ladin, Zawahiri, and Mullah Omar are in Afghanistan...and Karzai said they most definitely are NOT in Afghanistan.

Karzai DID say that they need a new tactic in the WOT..he said that these terrorists, (he considers al-Queda AND the Taliban, terrorists)..recruit from the young people that have lived hard..and think they have no future, yada, yada.

Karzai says that he wants the Coalition to go after these camps/schools, that are taking these boys in and training them...rather than just waiting for the terrorists to attack and then killing them.

I am not saying whether that is not being done or not.,..just saying what I can remember...it was a LONG interview....but, basically, Wolfie was trying to cause problems between the USA and Afghanistan...and Pakistan and Afghanistan...and Karzai didn't BITE...

Karzai is a pretty savvy guy...and no doubt has seen the way the MEDIA and the Congress works re: propaganda and rhetoric...and is NOT going to act like a bumpkin when being interviewed by the likes of Wolf Blitzer.

Colmes needs to see this. He was such dumbbum this past week. Hannity's response was great. Something to do with Liberals should take a shell and stick it in their backyard on was it on their dinner table? Don't remember but something like that. :)

BTW, I'm adding your url to my list should you ever need to look it up.

Thanks.
