It seems Keith Olbermann wasn’t the only one who took a swipe at Rummy today. An editorial in the L.A. Times blasted up one side and down the other saying, “Rumsfeld’s cranky outburst mangles a historical analogy, bad-mouths legitimate critics, and illustrates once again why the defense secretary should resign.” In a cranky speech Tuesday [...]

George W. Bush started up the spin machine today in a speech to the American Legion, in attempts to “rally the American people behind him on the Iraq war and national security.” In deep denial, Bush just doesn’t get that he’s not going to regain the support he once had.

The Governator has been wooing environmentalists and carving a more moderate path in recent months, with an election looming.

We got a little taste of what’s to come with Rummy’s speech to the American Legion on Tuesday, and it wasn’t pretty. It seems that BushCo is just getting warmed up and if the main course is anything like the appetizers, be prepared to be fed a pack of lies. President Bush and his surrogates [...]
