prices. Which means if Bush could serve one more term, oil would be free."

Blowing Off Treason
Ron Suskind's new book reports that in 2003, the White House ordered the CIA to forge a letter to "prove" that Iraq had a hand in 9/11 and that Saddam was buying yellowcake uranium from Niger for his WMD program with the help of Al Qaeda.
When this came up
on MSNBC, moderator Chuck Todd asked Politico's Mike Allen whether this would
lead "the anti-war crowd" in Congress to call for impeachment. Allen replied
that it would "give the lefty blogosphere something to grab onto."
And so, in less time than it takes to say "Dick Cheney,"
the
subject is changed from what would be one of the most outrageous violations of
the Constitution in the history of the Republic to a left/right issue.
"Since Congress went on recess, oil prices have dropped to $118 a barrel. That's, like, a $30 drop from the record high. You know, maybe Congress should take more vacations, huh? You ever notice, whenever these people leave town, things just seem to get better." --Jay Leno

Hillary Campaigns For Obama Today
As Barack Obama
heads home to Hawaii for a week-long vacation with his family, his former

And John suggested that his wife could compete in the topless beauty pageant at the motorcycle rally. Yeah! You know, what that reminds me of, is the time during the campaign that Bill Clinton suggested that Hillary should compete in a wet pantsuit contest" --David Letterman
