NYT RUSHES OUT REVIEW REDO (Kinder Review Of clinton Book)
June 25, 2004 -- The New York Times, which last Sunday published a scathing front-page review of Bill Clinton's "My Life," has alerted subscribers that another, much kinder and gentler review is coming July 4 in The New York Times Book Review. Entitled "Confessions of a Policy Wonk" and written by the novelist Larry McMurtry, the prominently placed review calls the book "the richest American presidential autobiography," and says that the former president is a better writer than Reagan, Ford, Nixon or Lyndon Johnson.
Unlike Michiko Kakutani, the author of the June 20 review, who called Clinton's book "eye-crossingly dull," McMurtry evokes authors from Dreiser to Fitzgerald to Balzac — if not in comparison to Clinton, at least in reference to him.
Bush Camp Hits Democrats' 'Coalition of Wild-Eyed' Reuters ^ | 06/24/04
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush's re-election campaign lumped together vocal outbursts by Democrats Al Gore, Howard Dean and others on Thursday and called them part of John Kerry's "Coalition of the Wild-Eyed."
The Bush-Cheney campaign released a video on its Web Site that played up some of the more strident statements Democrats have made on the campaign trail and declared: "This is not a time for pessimism and rage."
The implication the Bush campaign appeared to be trying to leave was that some of the main boosters of Kerry's presidential campaign are filled with rage and perhaps a bit kooky.
"Today, our campaign is releasing a web video to 6 million of our supporters to show them what we're up against and what we're up against is John Kerry's 'coalition of the wild-eyed,"' said Bush campaign manager Ken Melhman.
Cheney Tells Sen. Leahy F*** Off NewsMax.com ^ | 6/24/04 | AP
Vice President Cheney cursed at Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy during a confrontation on the Senate floor while members were having their annual group picture taken earlier this week, Leahy and Senate sources said Thursday.
Senate aides with knowledge of the encounter Tuesday said the vice president confronted Leahy about some of the Democrat's criticism about alleged improprieties in Iraq military contracts awarded to Halliburton Co. Cheney, who as vice president is president of the Senate, is a former CEO of Halliburton.
Leahy responded by criticizing the White House for standing by allies who had accused Democrats of being anti-Catholic last year in opposing one of President Bush's judicial nominees, said one Senate aide, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Cheney then responded, "F-- off" or "F-- you," the aide said.
That account was backed by another aide, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
Leahy, D-Vt., confirmed that the confrontation took place but would not provide details.
"I think he was just having a bad day," Leahy said. "I was kind of shocked to hear that kind of language on the floor."
Cheney's office also wouldn't go into detail, but confirmed the two men traded remarks.
"That doesn't sound like language that the vice president would use, but there was a frank exchange of views," said Kevin Kellems, a spokesman for Cheney.
Sorry to be such a pita.

If only the Spaniards could have been as strong as the S. Koreans.
Saturdays are SO WONDERFUL! I get to take a real, genuine Guennie Nap!!
I would imagine you could find one of those old perculators at a camping store.
I miss the sound of that ole perculator.
HA!!!!!!!
Right you are.
Plus if today's weather stays much like it is now, it'll be a nice thing to doze off while reading a book.
Toby,
I hope once your shack in the back is all finished, you can post pictures of it here, or have someone post them for you.
I'm heading outside to check my flowers. Then I need to get ready to take on the day. BBL
Have a wonderful day Missie.
How true! I was SO enthusiastic early on when Spain was basically our third closest ally behind our always-faithful Great Britain. When the voters of Spain succumbed to terrorism, I immediately thought of the liberalism and the democrat here in our country and how they would race to surrender to terrorism.
I heard the other day about the protesters in South Korea saying, "Give al-Qaeda what they want." I can't describe the contempt I have for that....other than along the lines of the contempt I have for Uox42.
I heard that about Monica early this am on the SRM Radio network news (definitely in my opinion a conservative, Christian radio network). Monica is basically calling the jerk a 'liar'. Surprise!
Hi 2/3rds. Enjoying your vacation from Blabbity???
Toby, enjoy your day. You always have plans!
Raven, did your wife find this amazing recipe or develop it herself???
Guenevere, I'm a Women of Faith dropout!:(
Well THERE you are MISSY!!!!!!!!!!!
How are you doing???
I noticed your absence yesterday!!!
Did you get everyone to where they had to be....or was that the night before? Confused in Akron...
I have turned into a rock-head groupie.
I absolutely REFUSE to turn him on when I am on my way home.
You should hear me scream and yell at him when I hear him by mistake.
Blabbity is a bore anymore.
