This is funny. Democrats are sending the emergency funding measure -- that Bush has vowed to veto -- to Bush, timing it so that his veto may fall on the 4 year anniversary of the infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech.
"Mary Tillman, Pat's mother, testified on Tuesday in the hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that she was "appalled" by comments from Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich, an officer in Tillman's unit, who suggested that the family was not at peace with pat's death because they are atheists who believe their son is now "worm dirt.""
Bill Kristol -- racism not as offensive as telling truth about Iraq war
(Note, thanks to Think Progress for this). This morning on Fox News Sunday, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol said that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) remark that the Iraq war is lost is “much more disgraceful” than Sen. Trent Lott’s (R-MS) 2002 claim that the country would be much better off if it had maintained racist segregation policies.
“What Harry Reid said is much more disgraceful than anything Trent Lott said, and I do think Democrats should ask Harry Reid to step down,” Kristol said.
NPR’s Juan Williams stared at Kristol with a look of confusion. “Brit [Hume] says it’s ‘laughable,’ you say it’s a ‘disgrace.’ I think what he said is the truth. I mean, it’s unavoidable,” Williams said. “Most Americans think we should have never gone in there, so he’s speaking in a voice that represents the majority of the American people.”
"At the White House on Friday, Perino lavished praise on Gonzales. "He has done a fantastic job at the Department of Justice. He is our No. 1 crime fighter. He has done so much to help keep this country safe from terrorists. He has worked determinately to prevent predators from attacking our children," she said."
I think they got the quote wrong, I believe what the president meant to say about Mike Brown... uh, I mean Alberto Gonzales was:
"He has done a heckuva job at the Department of Justice."
