Ah, the quest to regain power at the price of taking up the enemy's side in diverting attention away from the role Iraq is playing in the war on terrorism. And why should we wait until there is a "crisis" to do something....because that is the only way the Dimocrates can scare folks into voting for them.
Too good to be true! God has blessed us with really stupid enemies.
I saw Hume tear into CBS the other day. He compare Rather to Captain Ahab chasing Moby Dick.
I'd say that's a pretty good analogy.
OverFed Ted is our best poster boy for Conservative causes. He wreaks of old-fashioned Leftist-speak. When he gets on his tirades, he's a caricature of a loony person.
your creative use of bold is distracting.
Embattled television news network CBS is again at the center of controversy after snubbing a White House request to allow a Republican to appear with one of President George W. Bush's greatest adversaries, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), on "Face the Nation" on Sunday.
Kennedy was allowed to fire away at Bush on Social Security and Iraq without any rebuttal during his appearance on the Sunday morning talk show.
Maintaining that Bush and the Republicans are making up a crisis with Social Security in order "to make a crisis on any political problem," Kennedy said there is not a funding issue with the government retirement program that was started by Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Declaring the crisis in Social Security as "nonexistent" because it will provide 80 percent of current benefits through 2075, Kennedy said the Republicans are fabricating a sudden crisis so they can pass their private investment account program for younger taxpayers.
But there was no Republican reaction to these charges made by Kennedy because CBS denied a White House request to have a representative on the show.
Brit Hume reported on "Fox News Sunday" that the White House was "happy to put [White House Communications Director] Dan Bartlett or somebody else on that program and CBS said, 'Thank you, No.'"
Bartlett had been assured by CBS News President Andrew Heyward just one week prior to this incident that "neither CBS News nor [Dan] Rather had a vendetta against the White House" and that CBS "would do everything it could to be fair and balanced."
However, despite the firing of four CBS News employees last week over the forged document scandal regarding the airing of a "60 Minutes" episode during the height of the 2004 presidential election calling into question President George W. Bush's service in the National Guard, CBS has once again stepped into a controversy which seems to go against their promise to treat the White House more fairly.
Bartlett responded to Kennedy's criticism of Social Security crisis by stating it is "a matter of math, not ideology."
Speaking on Iraq, Kennedy said it "clearly is George Bush's Vietnam" that is the "result of blunder after blunder after blunder."
"Until Iraqis are going to fight for their own country, we are going to have a very, very dangerous situation," Kennedy declared.
Kennedy warned, "[I]s the face of the United States part of the liberation and security and the stability in that country, or are we a force that is perceived to be expanding the kind of uncertainty and savagery and revolution that's taking place there?"/i>
Bartlett again responded to Kennedy on "Fox News Sunday" rather than on CBS that regarding the concerns over Iraq there were "two very different, competing versions or visions of what was happening."
"The American people agreed with [Bush's] assessment," Bartlett commented, reminding Kennedy and others that Bush's decision to go to war was vindicated by his reelection in November. "It was heard by the American people, and they embraced President Bush's vision."

But but but.... CBS has told the White House they have no animus towards the Administration, despite airing a report featuring forged documents impugning the President! How could they allow Senator (Fat-Drunk-and-Stupid) Ted to dictate to them that a White House spokesman not be allowed to rebut his loony statements? Bias, what bias?
Teddy boy is a "has been". Not sure many of his own believe in him today. Mass voters do, but, they are Mass voters after all.
But then again I don't know anyone that watches "Face the Nation"!
I'm still waiting for the guilty CBS parties to be charged with interfering with a presidential election.
I must say that for Teddy Kennedy to say that Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam is about as smart as if he had said it was his Chappaquidick.
Over the years the news media have tried to blame the entire Vietnam War on Richard Nixon. But there are more than a few people who remember that it was started by JFK.
Things that appear on GOPUSA probably don't filter out to many people, but I must say that CBS is not going to achieve closure on Rathergate anytime soon the way they are handling it.
I guess if my checking account can provide 80 percent of the current funds for the checks I write I won't be in any trouble huh? Or if I pay 80 percent of the electric bill this month.
Maybe we should have the Treasury only pay Teddy 80 percent of his salary until he leaves the Senate. Not a problem, right?
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't lead a horticulture.
If you want to see the destruction of the Democratic Party as a national party, then you got to love Teddy Kennedy. He got his homey Kerry nominated, he then saddled him with his losing staff members. Is it any surprise that he would show up on another sinking ship or sinking Oldsmobile to help them find the bottom as he did Mary Jo. Kennedy can be Senator of Massachusetts as long as his liver holds out, but he sure is taking some down liberal ideologues who still think the name Kennedy is a political force to be accommodated.
You know, is it possible that Massachusetts Fats demanded no counter-guest on the program, as the "price" of he himself waddling in?
Is it possible that Massachusetts Fats demanded the whole program?
I do not know; I get the impression half the time the news media does not "make deals" to get a guest, but then the other half the time, I see something else.
Why can't the White House just be done with it and revoke the press pass for CBS? That would say something. This whole thing is going too far, they need to do something. They're starting to look cowardly, like Chamberlain appeasing Hitler.
