I remember this lazy eyed sloth was on Hardball every night during impeachment calling Democrats and Clinton every name in the book. And they always called him the "Democratic pollster" and had him on as a counterpoint to the wingnuts who would also call Democrats and Clinton every name in the book.
And now Media Matters, or as O'Reilly likes to call em, Nazi's, has the goods on this duechebag.
What was that again?
ST.CLOUD, Minn. - Seeking to gain ground against Sen. John Kerry, President Bush said Thursday that his Democratic opponent “wants to expand government” in education, health care, taxes and virtually every other area of domestic policy.
“We have a difference of philosophy in this campaign,” Bush told supporters. “It’s a clear difference: My opponent’s programs will expand government. Our programs will expand opportunity.”
It’s amazing that he can just say that and the article doesn’t even bother to mention that its all complete horseshit.
Under Bush federal spending has increased by 30 percent. The fastest rate in over 30 years. Medicare drug benefit, no child left behind act, Homeland Security department, Iraq. Coupled with gargantuan tax cuts for the rich, he’s created the largest deficit in our nations history. And he has already proposed spending 3 trillion MORE dollars in his second term (and thats NOT including Iraq, the White House still refuses to say how much that will cost until the last second like they did last time, then we find out its a gargantuan amount, and they say if you dont give it to them you hate the troops. Then, they say we need more tax cuts).
Now, I can see why Bush will go around the country telling people that its Kerry who will "expand government” because the man is a unrepentant lying sack of shit. But for the Associated Press to simpy pass on this news without letting people know its complete and utter bullshit, kinda goes against what is normally considered, you know, journalism.
Interesting thing about these alleged fake documents. The private secretary of the man who they're supposedly from says she didn’t type them, but they look like recreations of ones that did exist. Of course the wingnuts will simply scream “forgery” in order to divert attention from the fact that Bush ignoring his guard duties in 1973 is a long documented fact with or without these silly memo’s.
But Atrios brings up an interesting point. Here is the White House Pres Secretary:
Q Scott, on the National Guard documents on "60 Minutes," the First Lady says she believes these are forgeries. The RNC has accused the Democratic Party of being the source of these documents. Knowing then what you know now, would you still have released those documents when you did?
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, that's a hypothetical question, John. We received those documents from a major news organization. We had every reason to believe that they were authentic at that time.
So the White House had no reason to believe that a document that says Bush disobeyed a direct ordered and shirked his duties was nothing other than authentic.
Tells you all you need to know.
A senior administration official outs an undercover operative, commiting an act of treason that may get people killed.
Ho hum..
CBS has a memo that may or may not be fake.
OUTRAGE!!!
You'd think theyd get tired of being the scum of the earth for like, a minute or two.
Beyond offensive.
It's the U.S. territorial minting of the 2004 "Freedom Tower" Silver Dollar from CNMI. Most importantly, each coin has been created using .999 Pure Silver recovered from Ground Zero!No, this is not a misprint. The silver used in each gleaming dollar coin is from Ground Zero! You see, when the Twin Towers fell on September 11, 2001, a bank vault full of .999 Pure Silver bars was buried under hundreds of tons of debris. After months of salvage work, many of the bars were found. Now, the same silver that was reclaimed from the destruction has been used to create the magnificent 2004 “Freedom Tower” Silver Dollar.
Not exactly a shock that their specialty happens to be Reagan coins. Let them know how you feel.
