Tabloid TV

OMG, they've put her back on tv. There is no accounting for taste. But then, this is the network where she reigned as queen for so long. What's that say about the current state of CNN?

Anatomy of a Headline

Presumably the headlines from ABC News:







and the Washington Post:







were derived from the results of the poll they conducted after the miserable fuck-up's speechification last night - which found Americans less than impressed with his way forward.

So, does CNN have different information:






If not, shouldn't that headline have read: The Administration Attempts to Sell Iraq Plan but Americans Aren't Buying

Enough already. Too many Iraqi and American lives have been lost as window dressing in Bush's tragic opera 1upmanship with Poppy. In this final act we merely return to the blameless sociopath who's accountable for nothing - the surge providing the cover necessary for the claim that the failure in Iraq should fall squarely on the Iraqis - because America did all that it could. Now there's a poll question for you: Do you think the purpose of the Preznit's surge plan is allow American withdrawal while avoiding any responsibility for the fiasco that is Iraq?

Republicans: Never Accountable; Never to Blame. Kinda catchy. Maybe they can use in in '08.

More for the Annals of *Outstanding Reporting

WASHINGTON -President Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq is running into trouble on Capitol Hill, with Republicans joining Democrats in raising eyebrows before the president even has a chance to make his case.[emphasis mine]

Thanks, Anne -heckuva job. Yes, poor little George with absolutely no press coverage and only a matter of weeks since the Iraq Study Group report was released (from which I'm sure he had no advance information) hasn't had any opportunity to make the case for his latest round of lunacy.

*And by outstanding I mean ... worthy of the Medal of Freedom. Which, by the way, shouldn't Harriet be in line for now that she's gone to spend more time with the family she doesn't have.

Interesting timing on Harriet's resignation no? Democrats take control of congress and the woman who was the most qualified person Bush could find to sit on the Supreme Court is somehow not so competent when she might be called upon to defend him.

Too bad Bush can't find a reason to hang her, she no doubt has information that might be - hmmm, how do you say ... incriminating. I'm just saying, if she drowns while changing the water in her goldfish bowl ...
