What Brit said was "Even giving him the benefit of the doubt" which is what I say when I mean that I don't believe it for a minute, but will assume it for the sake of argument.
We also have the MSM bias in not reporting Dims scandals and beating Pubbie ones to death (like Foley). Here are examples of 2:
Mike Hatch's forgotten scandal (Minnesota)

Mike Hatch is the Minnesota Attorney General and the Democratic candidate for governor running against Republican incumbent Tim Pawlenty. This morning NRO posted my column on the contest between Hatch and Pawlenty: "Code blue in Minnesota." Please check it out.
In the column I refer in passing to Hatch's "highly public fight this summer with a state district-court judge whom [Hatch] had sought to remove from a case[.]" The incident involved reflects profoundly on Hatch in the performance of his duties as Attorney General. This post expands on that reference. All facts necessary to render judgment on Hatch's conduct in the matter are of public record. The conclusions I have reached regarding Hatch's conduct are shared by experts in legal ethics with whom I consulted.
Persuasive evidence establishes that Hatch has committed serious violations of the rules of professional conduct governing lawyers -- and then lied to cover them up. The violations involve more than mere technical mistakes. The violations are of the sort that properly can lead to an attorney being severely disciplined if not disbarred from the practice of law.

And, of course, they can't say very much against their Rock Star (I'm surprised the AP reported on this):
Sen. Obama linked to accused fundraiser

CHICAGO --Responding to a newspaper report, Sen. Barack Obama said Saturday that arrangements he had with a political fundraiser accused of shaking down companies might have raised the appearance of impropriety.
Antoin "Tony" Rezko, whom Gov. Rod Blagojevich has described as a friend and a fundraiser, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he plotted to squeeze millions of dollars in kickbacks out of investment firms seeking state business. He also has pleaded not guilty to obtaining a $10.5 million loan from General Electric Capital Corp. through fraud and swindling a group of investors.

You will never get it. It matters not what you or I think. Foxnews by it's own actions is proving what many of us here are saying.
Have a great Sunday samantha!

Listen to his slant on Fridays and during the AllStars segment. It is more than obvious that objectivity suffers when Angle is in the chair.

Thanks, I needed that.
We owe you a mighty lot samantha. Thank you!

The whole idea of Barack's cannonization was that he was too new to be tainted by corruption. Hillary moves quick when motivated..
Ohiowfan will be doing an anniversary special later today where there should be some great photos and graphics.
In the former the position remains but for whatever reason the company or the person decides they no longer wish to continue, the latter the job no longer exists.
Good points!
Yes. Then you see my point. The 'rats will say and do whatever it takes to regain power. But, I don't think that they are suicidal about the terrorist threat...perhaps stoooopid and reckless, certainly wrong on the issue--very wrong--but, not suicidal.
Afternoon Snugs.
I like President Bush's answer when someone asked him how old Laura was on this birthday.
President Bush said he would never, ever be caught telling Laura's age........... but he would say she was born the same year he was and he turned 60 this year.

Regardless of what folks may think of Rudy, he's optimistic and right in that we need to stay on the offense:
Republicans Should Stay Optimistic and On Offense

For the past six months, I've been traveling across the country campaigning for Republican candidates. Conventional wisdom from Washington predicts a tough year for the party. By playing offense, solidifying our ranks and reaching out to Reagan Democrats and Independents, I believe that Republicans have reason to be optimistic. Because on the big issues Americans care about - from national security to the economy to the Supreme Court - Republican leadership has delivered time and again on its promises.
Republicans are united by our belief in going on offense to win the war on terror. Five years ago, our nation learned a painful lesson about the dangers of an inconsistent approach to dealing with the evil of terrorism. In his speech to Congress on September 20th, 2001, President Bush declared that we would go on offense against terrorists, and he has made good on that promise. Terrorists have been destabilized and put on defense around the world - including Afghanistan and Iraq.

Your post highlights the major differences between the Bush family and the Clintons-Bush and family exude class and grace, while the Grifters ooze crass and base..(is that a word??)
I see all her comments as a childish way of speaking, as well as bitter hatred of her opposition. She reminds me of a selfish child who cannot have her way and strikes out.
Yesterday on my analysis post on the preview thread I posted this:
I will look closely for any hedging by lil' Timmah, along with what his body language is (hunch or no hunch when questioning Dole and Reynolds?) to give me a clue about what he really believes will happen on Tuesday.
You saw what I was looking for. If he thought they were going to win he wouldn't be in attack mode, which is what I associate with the hunch. I did here him challenge Rahm pretty good on his negative campaign ads. I didn't see the hunch because I just couldn't stand to listen to Lil Timmah for long. I helped my son get his new PC set up instead.
While I generally pray for the country & W, I did something in 2004 I had never done before ..... on election day I went by church and prayed. The sanctuary was dark and quiet with just some sunlight filtering in and I went up directly in front of the cross, got on my knees and prayed that God's will be done and that He would not turn his face away from America. It helped me a lot personally ... and considering the election results, I felt God was still listening. I will be doing the same thing this coming Tuesday.
