According to Jim Quinn, a caller to Air America on day one compared Condi Rice to the character portrayed by Kim Hunter in "Planet of the Apes." In other words, a leftwinger, a liberal, one of the truly enlightened, said black folks are apes. The host, not Franken but Randi Rhodes or some such person, supposedly admonished the caller, but then said that the comment was something you'd expect of Rush Limbaugh. Of course, the truth is that neither Rush nor any of us would say such a thing, but the whole episode certainly indicates to me just how despicable these people truly are.

Cindy Adams reports GWB may be off to Ireland, where he will stay in a castle:

BUSH to kiss the Blarney Stone? Bush & Co. to Ireland? State Visit? The soon future? Rallying the Irish vote? At this moment plans are planned. They so far extend to not bunking him in the U.S. Embassy, a mansion freshly redone for a couple of million of his own dollars by former ambassador and multimillionaire Richard Egan. As we speak arrangements are being arranged for the First Head to lay itself down in Dromoland.
