Maher vs O'Reilly
'WHAT I DIDN'T SAY' BY BILL MAHER: On Saturday, the website NewsBusters.org posted a story under the headline "Bill Maher Sorry the Assassination Attempt on Dick Cheney Failed." There's just one problem: As a fair reading of the show's transcript makes clear, I never said those words. Still, over the weekend, dozens of websites, mostly right wing, picked up the story (with headline intact) thus proliferating the myth that comic Maher somehow advocates the whacking of our Veep. Don't get me wrong: I've never joined the Dick Cheney Fan Club. But what I said Friday -- and what I believe -- is that the Vice President has presided over a bungled execution of a war in which thousands of our bravest continue to die. And I believe that were he not in power, our troops would likely come home sooner. But I don't wish him dead. Ironically, I made my comments during a discussion about Free Speech, which is one of the chief reasons that I love my country.

Fired US Attorneys by Administration
Fired former U.S. Attorneys David Iglesias and John McCay testified before Congress today about the political pressures put on them by Senator Pete Domenici and Rep. Heather Wilson.
Kerry Confronts Swift Boat Funder
At his confirmation hearing yesterday for an ambassadorship to Belgium, nominee Sam Fox got grilled by Senator Kerry for the $50,000 contribution he gave to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the same group that spread lies and attacked Kerry's decorated military service during his 2004 Presidential run. Needless to say, Kerry had some business to take care of.
Carter:Cheney’s “Abysmal” Record
Considering he's been wrong on pretty much every single prediction he's made, Dick Cheney should be the last person lecturing members of Congress on what we should do in Iraq. President Carter puts him in his place.

Sec. Rice, Get Your Facts Straight!!!
Keith took Condi to task for making the following ridiculous and historically inaccurate analogy on FOX News Sunday: "…It would be like saying that after Adolf Hitler was overthrown, we needed to change then, the resolution that allowed the United States to do that, so that we could deal with creating a stable environment in Europe after he was overthrown."
Hannity: CBS has Bias, we don't
On Sunday, 60 Minutes is running (in Hannity's words) a biased "hit piece" about a group of GI's who are using the Military Whistleblower act to speak out and petition Congress to end the Iraq War. In an attempt to "present both sides," next Sunday Hannity plans to run a response piece and gave us this little teaser last night. THE 'HIT PIECE': http://www.dailymotion.com/NEW_FRONTIER/video/x1drxt_dissension-in-the-ranks-soldiers-sp
Gates: Panel to investigate Walter Reed
Defense Secretary Gates tells us that a new panel will look into the deplorable conditions of Walter Reed and any other medical facility they choose. They have 45 days to get their report together and present it to Congress and the public. This is a sad state of affairs when a special council has to look into the care our veterans are receiving. Gates says those that caused this problem will be held accountable.
