FRIDAY HAS ARRIVED
HAPPY LABOR DAY!
Save for later! Thanks
LOL credit to Fred Barnes and Mort Kondrake that came on FNC together today to talk about it.
Good news for Amercia is bad news for Dems.
Glad Rush is dropping Armitage and Powell in some well deserved grease.
Tells how you feel Plame and Wilson Def. LOL
lOL
Take phone off hook!
Powell has been a great disappointment.
I am astonished NOW at how many media types are saying they KNEW all along that Armitage had leaked it. Well...if they knew all along, why didn't they tell anyone? Isn't their failure to tell US a violation of their whole reason for being? I have to believe there's a principle of law they can be prosecuted for...
AMEN, brother Rush!!
Relax Hun, I won't be after you. But if they try that coup crap I'm ready. I don't believe they have the stones though.
And an aiding-and-abetting Enemedia right along with them....
The media knows a lot of things that it sits on....
Hey, I'm not worried Roccus, I was agreeing that they should be. I know exactly where you are coming from!
I knew the whole thing was one giant Cluster $%^& to begin with , but not being a beltway insider I couldn't prove it. I have lived in the district before and these people all run in the same circles, people gossip.
And they're only there because on a holiday weekend THEY want to tape "The Beltway Boys" early so they can get off and have a good time. Not that I'm against reporters having a good time, especially Fred. But I guarantee you they are on their way now...while I'm still here in the Office...Bwaaaaahhhhhhh...
OK...Class ENVY .. [OFF}
Yes, deffie. Take control of the language...frame the debate....own the issue.
Def, the fact that Plamegate was a joke was evident to anyone that looked. The very laws supposedly broken did not even apply.
This was a liberal media concoction, and it is a textbook example of dirty politics.
Film Praises John Lennon as 'Anti-War Hero'
U.S. conservatives were outraged when country music band the Dixie Chicks criticised President George W. Bush.
But a new documentary about John Lennon and his run-in with the Nixon administration over the Vietnam war suggests Bush got off lightly.
David Leaf's "The U.S. vs. John Lennon", screened at the Venice Film Festival earlier this week, uses footage not seen before and news clips aired for the first time in decades.
Lennon's widow Yoko Ono allowed Leaf and co-director John Scheinfeld to use her library of images and the former Beatle's music in a 100-minute documentary that portrays a turbulent United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
It opens with Lennon seeking to soothe U.S. opposition to his comment that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus.
He is shown staging his famous honeymoon "bed-ins" for peace, addressing huge rallies, performing a concert for a jailed friend, criticising Nixon in interviews and funding an international advertising campaign called "War is Over!"
Leaf said his documentary was relevant today, with the debate raging over the invasion of Iraq and what some see is the erosion of civil liberties in the United States.
"The film itself isn't designed to comment on the world today," Leaf told a news conference. "However, there is no way to watch the film without hearing the echoes in the past of what's going on in the world."
Leaf said the film only won financial backing and the support of Ono following the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
"It took the events in a post-9/11 America to give people a sense that this was not just a story rooted in the past but had a contemporary resonance and needed to be told."
Dramatic newsreel from the United States and Vietnam is mixed with Lennon footage and interviews with commentators and politicians of the day in a film that paints Lennon as an anti-war hero and the victim of a vindictive government.
Leaf conceded it had been difficult to find former members of Nixon's government or people supportive of the Vietnam war, although he defended the film as balanced.
"It was a challenge to get anybody who was on the right side of the political spectrum. G. Gordon Liddy [a Nixon advisor who was jailed for his part in Watergate] was just about the only one from the Nixon administration from that era who would."
In the opposite corner are an array of established liberal figures including Gore Vidal, who at one point says: "Mr. Nixon and President Bush represent death, and that is a bad thing."
The final part of the documentary deals with Lennon's long legal battle against deportation, which he finally won in 1976.
The U.S. vs. John Lennon is due for release in the United States in September.

Gotta get the BP down. Just the thought of them pulling that stuff gets me going real good.
