Blindingly funny!
The British press love it as they can immediatley bring out the old refrain of Bush's poodle.
The left press feel he has sold out his party and the right just hate him because he is Labour so go fodder for both.
go = good
No Brit on FNS today. :-(
HA HA HA, thats the same reaction I had while driving.
I had to go back to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
For sure, snugs. But we give him great credit and admire for sticking to his guns like our Prez, no matter what media or some whiners say.
Regarding Plamegate, we are told constantly by the Wilson's that the administration targeted Valerie in retaliation for Joe Wilson telling the "truth" that Iraq was not trying to purchase uranium.
I'm starting to think that not 1 reporter in 100 either knows the truth or is reporting the truth.
The Senate Bipartisan Committee reported that what Joe Wilson was reporting privately in closed door sessions to Congress actually bolstered the Bush administration's position that Iraq was trying to purchase uranium.
The bipartisan committee report that shows Wilson lied about what he found in Niger:

The panel found that Wilson's report, "rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, actually bolstered the case for most intelligence analysis."

To this day, British intelligence maintains that Saddam Hussein sought uranium in Africa, recently underlined by a report from The Financial Times of London. The British government states "European intelligence officers have now revealed... human and electronic intelligence sources from a number of countries picked up repeated discussion of an illicit trade in uranium from Niger." The New York Times paraphrased the above with a clear-cut story titled: "Intelligence Backs Claim Iraq Tried to Buy Uranium." The essay leaves no doubt as to the claim of Bush in January 2003 that Saddam Hussein was not only was trying to procure uranium, but had been for years.

Wilson misled the Washington Post in June 2003, when he told the paper that the Niger intelligence was based on documents that had clearly been forged because "the dates were wrong and the names were wrong." In fact, Wilson had never seen the reports.
When the Senate committee staff asked Wilson how he could have come to that conclusion, Wilson replied that he may have "misspoken" (See first paragraph) to reporters.

The MSM signed an amicus brief saying there was no crime in the Plame leak:
36 major news organizations and professional reporters' groups (including CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Reuters, The Associated Press, The Tribune Company, The Washington Post, The New York Press Club and The White House Corespondents) insisted that "no crime" had been committed in the "Plame Leak" case because, among other things, Valerie Plame's identity had previously been disclosed to both the Russians and the Cubans!
Read their brief here:

Ditto. Will Russert ever admit on air that Fitzgerald interviewed him via phone and unsworn re Libby and the non-leak?
As we prepare to listen to "Great Men" on the Sunday talk shows give us their years of wisdom, it is helpful to read Mark Steyn and what he says about these people:

I forgot about that, thanks for reminding me.
Behine the scene Timmy knows more than he is telling the public.
I give you that even if I personally cannot stand him. I want shot of him and all his cronies; the only thing that makes me want him to stay is because we are so early in this Parliament the thought of Brown or worse as PM for 3 - 4 years before a general election is just dreadful.
Albright exactly is gentler version of Helen Thomas (thanks to my kid brother).
Condi Rice on Fox News Sunday:
Condi says that Hezbollah acting in concert with sponsors in Iran and Syria.
Wallace: Allies talking about immediate ceasefire. Israel wants to take out Hezbollah once and for all.
Rice: Israel has a right to defend herself. No country will take rocket fire and not do anything about it. We've asked Israel to try and avoid civilian casualties. Israel will need to have the moderate allies in order to be a stable country. (That has never happened, Condi, and it never will, imo).
Timmy through his question implies that this action against Hezbollah was always on its agenda and the taking of the soldiers was just their excuse. Martin Fletcher says that the US is the only one that can stop Israel. Now is that a set up or what!
Newt says what this is is actually a world war and starts ticking off the evidence.
In three minutes - Newt catalogs the world.
What intellect the man has.
