    They just couldn’t help themselves. During their Wednesday evening reports on the deeply touching and emotional funeral service for the late President George H.W. Bush at the National Cathedral, broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC had to get in their digs against President Trump for his behavior (or lack thereof). One even touted how Trump managed to keep his mouth shut about Bush all week. In the midst of their stories on the funeral service, both ABC and CBS noted the tension between President Trump and the Clintons. “The Trumps and Clintons did not shake hands,” reported CBS Evening News...

  • Howard Dean: Osama bin Laden Had Nothing to do with 9/11

    Meet the Press ^ | May 22, 2005 | Howard Dean
    DR. DEAN: I said I wasn't sure, but I said I thought there probably were. But the thing that really bothered me the most, which the 9-11 Commission said also wasn't true, is the insinuation that the president continues to make to this day that Osama bin Laden had something to do with supporting terrorists that attacked the United States. That is false. The 9-11 Commission, chaired by a Republican, said it was false.

    On Friday, for the second night in a row, the CBS Evening News provided downbeat coverage for George Bush's campaign day and an upbeat look at John Kerry's. With "Rallying Cry" as the on-screen peg, Byron Pitts began his story on Kerry's day by portraying Osama bin Laden's message as playing into Kerry's hand: "Osama bin Laden was already a key part of John Kerry's campaign, the foundation of his argument that President Bush is unfit for office." But for Bush, the MRC's Brad Wilmouth observed, CBS put "Bad Week" on the screen as the network treated a meaningless miscue...

    Sunday, Nov. 30, 2003 10:19 p.m. ESTPanetta Warning Reveals Widening Dean-Clinton Rift Yet another Clinton insider is openly criticizing his party's presidential front-runner, Howard Dean, warning Democrats that the ex-Vermont governor is far too liberal to defeat President Bush in next year's election. "There clearly are concerns about Dean's ability to appeal to the entire country, particularly on national security issues," former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta told the Washington Times on Friday. "How can you compete with President Bush on the national security front? There is some concern about whether Dean can rise to the occasion on...

    Jacqueline Kennedy was so racked with loss after her husband's assassination in 1963 that she spoke repeatedly of suicide to her confessor, a new book about the Kennedys' Irish-Catholic heritage reveals. "It is so hard to bear," she told the Rev. Richard McSorley months after her husband's death. "I feel as though I am going out of my mind at times. Wouldn't God understand if I just wanted to be with him?" Later, after she seemed to rebound, she sank further into gloom and again spoke of suicide as a way out, saying, "I was glad that Marilyn Monroe got...

    I have a great idea for the ultimate Freep. Let's create our own "The Clinton Legacy Spin Machine" We should pull our resources together to design, manufacture, and distribute thousands of small 3" to 4" diameter rubber mats with Clinton's image on it with various labels along the perimeter of the mat such as: Impeachment - Pardons -Perjury - Monica, WTC The only moving part for our 'spin machine' will be a small clear-plastic propeller-wheel with a printed arrow that will point to one of these labels above each time the device is "used" properly. (if you get the drift)...
