GOOOOOORE!!!
Gore speaks up to criticize the "ultra conservative" leadership in Canada.

In response, Canada said, (from Barking Moonbat) “This strange man seems lost. I think he’s yours. Please take him home and make sure he stays there.”

Right Winged has more...




Cindy Sheehan still searching for relevance:

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has threatened to run for Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-Calif.) seat unless Feinstein filibusters Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito. Sheehan, who was in Caracas, Venezuela Friday attending the World Social Forum, heard that several Democrats planned to filibuster Alito but that Feinstein, who is up for re-election in November, announced that she will vote against Alito but would not filibuster the nomination."I'm appalled that Diane Feinstein wouldn't recognize how dangerous Alito's nomination is to upholding the values of our constitution and restricting the usurpation of presidential powers, for which I've already paid the ultimate price," Sheehan said in a statement.

Sheehan claimed Alito has "an extensive paper trail documenting the right-wing political agenda that he has actively advanced, not only as a high-ranking official in the Reagan Administration, but also as a judge."

I bet Ms. Feinstein is quaking in her Blahniks...not.
Cindy, shut. Up. Please.

Polls and other useless data: 57% of Americans support use of force in Iran. Buried in the very last two paragraphs of the article is the bias:

Respondents were also divided, largely along party lines, over whether the Iraq war is really part of Washington’s war on terrorism; 51% say it is, 46% say it is not. President Bush has repeatedly cast Iraq as the central front in the war on terrorism. But many of his administration’s prewar claims about Iraq’s ties to Al Qaeda have turned out to have been overstated or based on unreliable intelligence sources.

"Repeatedly cast Iraq...central front...prewar claims...overstated". Apparently those 51% that believe it IS part of the WOT are disillusioned or something, right? No, for the 8,783rd time, Saddam had ties to Al Qaeda. We never said nor has the President ever said he was the mastermind behind 9/11, but he was buddy-buddy with AQ. (Clinton and the Dems said so back in 98. Intelligence now supports it. But apparently the Financial Times isn't privy to this information) Reminder to the MSM: Just because you say it in print over and over STILL doesn't make it uneqivocally true anymore.

Pimpin' politics, yo.
Ann Coulter = Lil' Kim? Yeah, okay. Take Ann Coulter, remove class, most of her clothing, moral values, and about 70 IQ points. Sure, okay. I can see it.

George Bush = Gangsta? (oldie but goodie) So says 50 Cent. Fitty says he sees a lot of "himself" in Dubya. I bet the President got a good laugh when he heard that. (Fifty Cent and Kid Rock do a Cowboy/Gangsta collaboration? I think we're on to something here...)

See if you can read this without rolling your eyes and/or snickering in a wry manner. (two laughs in one! Jimmy Carter brokers peace and is the beatific facilitator of the Palestininan elections - AND he's fawned over and breathlessly praised in this insipid article) At least they edited it, though - the watchful readers at Lucianne caught the change...

Earlier:

The mood was disaster-in-progress when the unflappable Jimmy Carter stepped into the room yesterday to share a few quiet moments with the Toronto Star. /break/ At 81, clear-eyed and calm, America's most beloved ex-president — who yesterday sanctified the Palestinian election as head of the 950-strong international observer mission — took the earthquake in stride.

This is what it reads now:

...At 81, clear eyed and calm, the former U.S. president — who yesterday sanctified the Palestinian election as head of the 950-strong international observer mission — took the earthquake in stride.

*whew* That was close. BillyBob Clinton must have made a "hey, I'M the most beloved, dang it" call just in the nick of time.
