I seem to recall these two Goose Creek guys were another one of those trumped-up bumbler breathing-while-Islamic cases that proves Bush has been fear-mongering at home while encouraging the spread of terrorism abroad and trampling civil rights everywhere, or something like that.  So what’s up with this?

According to this, I’m most likely to vote for Rudy Giuliani, followed by John McCain, though the pair of them differ significantly on a number of issues. This survey’s findings in my case may or may not be true.

Juan Cole of Informed Comment  makes the uninformed remark that the Bush-Aznar exchange about the possibility of Saddam going into exile in Saudi with “$1 billion and all the information he wants about weapons of mass destruction” is an impeachable statement, because it indicates war could have been avoided:

Lefty mouthpieces excited about Spanish text of February 2003 conversation between Bush and former Spanish PM Aznar.  The machine translation at Editor & Publisher,* while difficult in places to make sense of,  doesn’t appear to tell us anything we didn’t already know, but is being seized on as smoking gun evidence that Bush lied, people died, [...]

It is with great sadness that I must report that not only has Katie Couric failed to transcend dingbatitude, she has embraced dhimmitude.
Katie went to Iraq, listened, and briefly made sense. I even dubbed her, too optimistically, the Anti-Cronkite. For a minute there, maybe one broadcast, I actually thought there was a chance the leggy lightweight might [...]
