Risen just got done pushing his book to Russert. He is a major league stuffed shirt who only cares about himself, IMHO. Do you really think that he will go to prison to protect his source? I don't.

Sure he will. He will be a martyr, get more publicity and enjoy the limelight. That will last for 3-4 weeks, then the limelight will have shifted and he'll think twice.

Our friend Screamin' Howard Dean is on CNN calling for Rummy's resignation because of the failure to provide body armor. Wolf asks him if he is blaming the President for elections in Bolivia. It's Bush's fault.

I want to know who leaked the SECRET Pentagon report. Another act of treason for the NYT - is anyone keeping a scorecard?

Harold Fineman was tripping over himself about how the country doesn't "trust" the President anymore

What these media types usually omit is that the only people voters trust less than the President are used car salesmen, congressmen, and reporters. Of course, maybe the polls have changed. I thought I was wrong once before, but I was mistaken.

What most people do not know is that Kennedy's employees have no respect for him anymore than we do. I have called his Office often enough to know that most of them just punch their time cards and cash their checks, they have long since quit trying to defend a scumbag/alcoholic lady killer. If you get someone from his Office that puts up a fight for him when you criticize him on so many issues, he is either new and will burn out soon or is getting paid extra bucks to shill for the "king of Corruption". Kennedy always reminds me of what the people looked like and did just before "forty days and forty Nights, decadence is thy name Edward Moore Kennedy . Ted Kennedy's girlfriends have had numerous abortions, and he did coke and amyl nitrate in his Senate Office, even had it delivered. This all according to his former Aide (a former choir Boy before Kennedy affiliation)in a scathingly descriptive book he wrote after leaving Kennedy's Office.

The sad thing is that Kennedy is so thick skinned I supsect it was just like water off a duck's back and I bet it did not phase him one bit.

You call it "thick skinned", I call it being anesthetized 100% of the time.

##### Michael Ramirez, conservative editorial cartoonist let go by the Los Angeles Times effective Dec. 31, has joined Investor's Business Daily as a senior editor/editorial cartoonist.

I presume this was the LA Times efforts to become more "fair and balanced". Obviously, they are concerned about public perception regarding their precipitous slide to the right. LOL!

I guess compared to Schumer, and in his mind, Ginsberg IS mainstream.

Would that the Senior Senator from NY (D- :p )explained why lowering the age of consent to 12 and legalizing prostitution is middle of the road.

Schumer is going to get his rear end handed to him and when Alito gets on the SC Ginsberg will look even more foolish and radical.

Hard to tell which end is which with Schumer

Reid to restore ethics...does that include Miss BoTox?

By NILES LATHEM, STEVE DUNLEAVY, EDMUND NEWTON, and ANDY GELLER July 13, 2001 She got Bob Packwood, R-CA, thrown out of the U.S. House of Representatives because he clumsily tried to only kiss some of his aids. Barbara Boxer used this to get herself elected to the U.S. Senate as one of the Senators from California. Note also about Boxer: she was the highest overdrawn spender in the House Banking scandal during George Bush, Sr.'s presidency. She wrote over 400 checks that would have bounced except for the slush fund the Democraps secretly used to cover their excesses. If you had done that you'd be put in jail. But that was covered up by the left wing media too.

I can't believe someone would be willing to embarass themself on national tv like that. That's just too funny!

Some things, you just can't make up. Truth can be stranger than fiction.

Risen says he doesn't want to go to prison, but if he has to in order to protect his sources, he will. He thinks that what he did was a great public service AND they scooped everyone else.

Can we have him wear a pink jumpsuit with bunnies embroidered all over it?

Harmon just said that the FISA law was meant to be the exclusive source for the right to do electronic surveillance. That cannot be the case if there are powers given to the President by the Constitution. What are all those Executive Orders for. I believe the Supreme Court has decided that Congress is not empowered to lessen the President's inherent powers.

Powerlineblog.com is doing a great job of putting forward the legal arguments in this regard. They have a great one today from a former federal prosecutor about a Supreme Court ruling exactly on point, Dickerson v. United States. the post is titled A Word From Bill Otis."

Kerry had a powerful protector........the Kennedy family.

He was never going to be held accountable for his treachery.

We must keep repeating that the abortion will then become a state issue.

After all, going over a state line is not the same as going to Tijuana!

I saw the McLaughlin Group today, and it was very sobering. Tony Blankley, the respected Editor of the Washington Times, former Press Secretary to Speaker Newt Gingrich, a man with tremendous contacts on Capitol Hill, agreed with Eleanor Clift that the Abramoff scandal will be labeled a "Republican scandal" simply because we are the majority controlling party. Most shocking to me was Tony's next statement that up to six Republican congressman could find themselves in trouble with the law. I guess the only thing that made me feel good was Eleanor Clift's prediction that the dems will not have a very good chance of taking political advantage of the situation. I also heard stephanopoulos on the early morning news say that despite the Abramoff scandal's potential impact on the Repubs the dems will still have a very difficult time in taking back the House in 06. All this makes me fear one thing, that RINO John McCain. Repubs could very well run to him for help since he does stand for campaign finance reform (I don't agree with restricting freedom of speech). Maybe this will be his chance to earn favors from Repub congressmen and senators and try to consolidate support for the Repub nomination, an effort I do not support. GO GEORGE ALLEN!
