About that "liberal" CBS bias...

Sumner_Redstone, head of Viacom, "liberal" CBS's parent company, endsored Bush.

And while we're at it, a Texas newspaper printed a story claiming that Bill Burkett discussed the infamous documents with Joe Lockhart and the Democrats.

Guess what. The newspaper didn't check its sources. Calls for resignation from conservative bloggers should be coming any time now....

Iraq.... or Florida?

Which is Rumsfeld talking about? Either way, you have to question his commitment to Democracy.

"Let's say you tried to have an election and you could have it in three-quarters or four-fifths of the country. But in some places you couldn't because the violence was too great," Rumsfeld said, hours after the leaders of the United States and Iraq met in Washington.

"Well, so be it. Nothing's perfect in life, so you have an election that's not quite perfect. Is it better than not having an election? You bet," he said. (Full story)

Dude.... did you just say that?

Bush: "I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America."

Uh.... you might not want to mention that on the campaign trail.

Novakian (adj.)

I struggle to find words to describe accurately just how I feel about Robert Novak. I hate to pick on the guy. He's a University of Illinois alum like me, after all. But he is on his own pedestal of, well, douchebaggery is the word the Daily Show uses, but I don't want to steal their thunder.

Ok, so you all know about the Plame affair, where Novak refused to reveal the source of the Bush Administration official who leaked the name of a CIA operative to him. You also may remember that a few weeks ago, when speaking of the CBS scandal on Crossfire, Novak said....

"All I say is, all CBS has to say is where do these documents come from." And for this, the Daily Show awarded him the Congressional Medal of Douchebag.

Guess what, Bobby. CBS revealed their source, interviewed him, the whole shebang. Now it's time for you to reveal your sources.

So today, I was reading Novak's Sun_Times column, and I was struck again by this man's nerve. He is clearly cowering at the fact that the Kerry Campaign has teeth know, and the charge is being led by a couple of decidedly gutsy men like Joe Lockhart and Terry McAuliffe. So this is what he had to say about the situation....

"Nevertheless, it is difficult to exaggerate the Democratic dismay over Lockhart and McAuliffe. In talking to a variety of Democrats who seldom agree with each other, I was surprised by the unanimous concern over the distractions. "

Again, I ask Novak, reveal your sources. Tell me who these Democrats are. They certainly aren't the ones here. Or here. Or yours truly.

I can't find the exact words to express how I feel about this man, so I'll have to use the word "Novakian" to describe people like Bobby. I need a definition.

If you have any suggestions about how to define "Novakian," please leave them in my comment section.

Shocking news story of the day...

Shocking news story of the day.... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6056602/

Arab Americans seem to have some sort of problem with Bush. What did Bush ever do to the Ara.... oh. Right. That. But hey, at least he's protected us from Cat Stevens.

Ed Gillespie..... Dizzy?

This is what RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie had to say on "Wolf Blitzer Reports" last night when asked what he knew about the 60 Minutes report before it aired...

BLITZER: You mean you didn't know that Ben Barnes was giving an interview to "60 MINUTES" to Dan Rather days before that aired?

GILLESPIE: I think I heard it the day before.

The day before? Is Gillespie a liar, or is he incompetent? Salon was reporting it on September 1.... http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/09/01/barnes60minutes/

Gillespie either needs to admit he was lying, or the Republicans might want to consider canning him. If Terry McAulliffe didn't know about this story at least a week ahead of time, I know I would have wanted the DNC to boot him.
