By the way, yesterday was the first time that the President of the United States made no mention of Pearl Harbor on Pearl Harbor Day.

I'm confused. I thought Hillary was a lesbian who was having an affair with Vince Foster before she ordered him killed and became a lesbian again and now she's cavorting with a black man. I wish the Right would tell me what's really going on so I know what to think.
So what does McCain mean, basso? Is he fighting Vietnam all over again? Does he seriously believe that our professional military is going into the crapper if we follow the Baker/Hamilton report? So our "overstretched Army and Marine Corp," to quote him from your blurb, is going to wallow in despair because we redeploy from most of Iraq? Where's the beef? Has McCain descended into sound-bites, and nothing more? D&D. I want my Beef Well Done, Please.
From USNews ... http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnews/20061208/ts_usnews/bushreactiontoreportworriesfathersaides What a pitiful coward this man is. Maybe if I just sort of shuffle the papers a bit and clear my throat everybody will get off my case. That's his response. Just above that passage there's this ... I'm not sure I've ever heard anything truer said on the whole sorry topic of this war. And it gets to the heart of the issue. He won't ever change course. Not because there's anyone who can't see that the present course is a catastrophe, but because changing course would cut the legs from under the collective denial of the president and his supporters. As bad as things get they can still pretend they're on the way to getting better. It's a long hard slog to January 2009 when it becomes someone else's fault. Once they pull the plug themselves, though, they admit it was all a disaster, that the whole presidency was, in Dick Gephardt's half forgotten phrase, "a miserable failure." That is why we're in Iraq today. Get your head around it. -- Josh Marshall
