OTH- I LOVE your error and think we have a new "freeperism" Well done!

Thank you!

[CDB]

Thanks, Peach, and kudos to Howlin!

Good question re Nick Berg's anti-war father.

[NautiNurse]

Just listening to Gonzales on a few TV shows this week has shown the man to be in WAAAY over his head as AG.

Met John Ashcroft several months ago. Thought the same thing about him too...a very nice man swimming with sharks.

[Bahbah]

I'm afraid that he is only very pro business, and that's why W went for him.

Well, that puts you in company with Juan Williams, who believes the same thing.

[jackbill]

If you have any spare time after finishing, I've a room or two that needs a once-over. And then there is the laundry.

[EDINVA]

Durbin is neither man nor civil enough to apologize. I'm trying to think of who it was in the mid-80's who made a major blunder (southern white Republican as I recall, maybe Thurmond?) who eventually apologized, saying something like "I don't make mistakes often but when I do it's a doozie !" Durbin doesn't have the guts to ever apologize like that.

[OldFriend]

I believe Aschroft was by far intellectually superior to Gonzales.

Too bad the left in general and Kennedy in particular, went after Ashcroft in such a personal way.

I have tremendous respect for him.

[snugs]

Just seen him on MTP he sort of apologised but it was so round about the houses and full of excuses of why he said it it smacked of only saying the words because of the fall out after he made his original comments.

I also could not believe when he said that the SC changes the law IMHO he believed what he said.

[NautiNurse]

I'll give Gonzales the benefit of the doubt for now, and hope we are just witnessing persistent stage fright.

[maica]

The reporters got in, our colleague Glenn Kessler reports from the scene, but were warned not to ask the president any questions. Mitchell popped one anyway. The thugs grabbed her shoulder and tried to drag her away, infuriating Rice and winning Mitchell oodles of publicity. As it happens, her book -- "Talking Back . . . to Presidents, Dictators, and Assorted Scoundrels" -- is being published soon.


$$$$$

I guess she believes the title of her book is "a good thing."


Good manners in a foreign country is not very high on her list of appropriate actions.

[OldFriend]

Mitchell's mistreatment really made my day!

And I doubt I'll be buying her book any time soon.

[meema]

And now a word from our Sponsors of Free Speech...

Thank you for posting this. It always gives me a chill and tears in eyes.
May God bless them all and keep them safe.

It is not possible to thank them enough.

[Peach]

LOL.

I already call myself the chambermaid without the tips.

Off to do another room...

[CedarDave]

MMMMMM Kiran Chetry

Her outer beauty is offset by her left-wing views as evidenced by letting her bias through when doing interviews.

[maica]

Are you as amazed as I am that so many who collect a paycheck for acting as legislators are so willing to cede the 'power' to make law to the SC?

In a town of supersized egos, this deferral to the SC tells me how impotent the dems really feel.

[Libertarian444]

Interesting. Equally intriguing is how did Kurtz know.

Howie's probably a regular poster on many of them. I wonder what is screen name is over at DU?

[CedarDave]

If I were single, I would have NO problem with either....

As long as you didn't get into a substantive discussion of politics, President Bush, the Iraq War, the Supreme Court, etc. Unless of course you like long arguments with unenlightened far-left liberals.

[Timeout]

Why raise hell now when we don't know what documents that are going to ask for?

I'm not advocating "raising hell". I just watched Sen. Leahy say the WH lawyers don't work for the president, "they work for all of us, the American taxpayers".

That's how far the Dems will go to confuse the public (aka: lie) and Republicans are going to have to answer it. Civic education takes time and repetition. We are in danger of the Dems cementing the idea in the public's mind that the president's lawyer should be expected to reveal all his working papers.

[malia]

When Shumer's name comes up it means, it is as you say ----- "--- I figure he's speaking for Hillary! so she can coyly remain in the background while letting Chuckie speak her mind."

It's pay back time!

[Republican Red]

Her outer beauty is offset by her left-wing views as evidenced by letting her bias through when doing interviews.

I was watching Fox & Friends the other day with Kiran Chetry acting as one of the hosts. She interviewed Barbara Boxer about the Roberts nomination. Boxer started blasting Roberts on the "Great French Fry" case. Chetry continually challenged Boxer with the facts of the case. Boxer insisted that it was not a unanimous opinion. Chetry insisted it was and challenged Boxer to look it up.

Chetry might not always be fair and balanced but she sure was in this interview. Boxer didn't know what hit her. No one bothers her with the real facts.
