  appears to be a predator. Republicans put a middle-aged sexual predator in charge of the Young Republicans. Sure, the Young Republicans aren’t underage or anything, but that can’t look good. Yet this fact simply isn’t coming out in the media. I’m thinking the Republicans ought to put this guy into the Foley Zone, but

  Epitaphs are typically reserved for the dead…but after reading the many views on the passing of Karl Rove…from his role in the George Bush White House…one might conclude that the “Wicked Witch” has had the misfortune of being under a falling house…one of his own mean spirited making. All that remains is to

  are threatened because of a Republican electorate, scared at being on the outside and looking in, is lashing out ar Republicans who aren’t conservatiuve enough, so says Ronald Brownstein of the LA Times. Republicans scared? They’re not scared of using Rove’s tactics, I’m thinking. I’m sure as I can be that

  and everyone hates the Republicans, too. Pam Spaulding has the Pew poll results up over at AmericaBlog, and Glenn Greenwald also has some commentary over at Salon. The poll tests for public confidence in various institutions, and Republicans pull up as that institution Americans have least confidence in. As Glenn notes, all the institutions

  Last week, Rudy Giuliani caused a bit of a stir when he suggested that he was at Ground Zero “as often, if not more” than rescue workers at the site. At the time, Atrios commented that such a statement was just begging for follow-up since his empirical claim could be easily verified. Indeed, as one of the prominent figures of the time,

  When the Democrats caved to White House fearmongering in the last week before their August recess and passed a bill that gave the Bush administration new powers to conduct warrantless surveillance inside the US, opponents of the bill were appalled. But our warnings that too much latitude was being given to the Bush administration were sidelined.

  Yesterday, the big story was the new National Intelligence Estimate that cast some serious doubts about the future of Iraq. Among the things it said were that the Iraqi government is ‘unable to govern’ itself effectively and that the situation is likely to become more precarious’ over the next six to twelve months (or one or two

  thing? Or is it a case of Republicans, as usual, putting money before policy? Seems the White House is claiming it is the latter. I’m thinking it is also a consequence of Bush being a lame duck and having zero power to control those in his party. And, hey, those Republican lobbying firms must be desparate for money now that

• How the Gingrich Stole the Hunt for Osama

  Several people have noted this in depth expose by Evan Thomas about the stalled hunt for Osama Bin Laden. And like them, this bit here stuck out to me. Rather than send the snake eaters to poke around mountain caves and mud-walled compounds, the U.S. military wanted to fight on a grander stage, where it could show off its mobility and firepower.

  Nope, the biggest Republican law firm of all doesn’t support Bush’s policy. My conclusions then were that Bush was such a lame duck that even Republican lobbyists who have worked in the past towards the goal of one-party rule (the K-Street Project) won’t touch his policies. Poor, poor Republican lobbyists, lost

  All The President’s Organs What is there to be said about Alberto Gonzales that hasn’t already been said by countless others? Outside of Karl Rove, there is perhaps no other person whose name has come up in the course of so many scandals. And it this and not some sudden desire to spend time with loved ones, which no doubt has prompted

  and left. A whole bunch of Republicans lost, and several, such as Lugar, Warner and Specter, are critical of Bush policies. The troops are getting thin. Heck, after Gonzo quit in order to have more time to go and spy on his family, it turns out that the next two highest ranking guys in the DOJ had also quit, leaving poor Paul Clement to hold
