Liberty - Dark Horse on the Third Ballot: "The nomination process was over. LP delegates had chosen as their standard-bearer a man who had willfully refused to file his federal tax return for years, refused to get a driver's license but continued to drive his car despite having been ticketed so many times that he couldn't recall the exact number, proposed to blow up the United Nations building, wanted to force criminals in prisons to stay in bed until their muscles atrophied, and planned to force Congress to take a 'special version' of his class on the Constitution. And the overwhelming majority of delegates didn't know any of this about their nominee"

The Libs did it! They actually found a bigger nutcase than GW to run!
Don't get me wrong, I love me some tinfoil hat...but I'm not running for president...yet...
I have plans for '08, but since I'll be running strictly as a nutcase I think that'll be o.k...

Eschaton: "In 1994, an eight-year old girl named Valerie Lakey was playing in a wading pool. She got caught in a defective drain. Her intestines were ripped from her body by the suction. She is now 17. She will have to be fed through a tube, 12 hours a day, for the rest of her life. In 1997, John Edwards won her family a $25 million judgment, of which he took a portion. The judgment helped jump-start his political career.

On the first day of last year, as part of his opening comments on Crossfire, this is how the incident was described by Tucker Carlson, whom public and private broadcasting networks tumble all over themselves to hire: 'Four years ago, he (Edwards) was a personal-injury lawyer specializing in Jacuzzi cases.'"

ARGH!
It's really amazing what lapdogs for bush and the crew the media has become...
www.AndrewSullivan.com - Daily Dish: "Of course, Pat Boone's orange-chartreuse-sherbert jacket stole the show. But hey, no one can accuse the GOP of being out of touch with the 1950s, can they? "

Columns: The GOP doubters on Bush: "'My father was a Democrat and used to say that when Republicans are in charge even the fishing is bad. You know what? The fishing around here has been terrible.'"

a nice story about Republicans turning against Bush...

HoustonChronicle.com - I write badly, therefore I am a would-be terrorist: "If I could give myself practical advice and take it, this is what I'd say: Forget the things you read in history class about America, Charlie. Forget all the stuff about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Just keep your head down and your eyes peeled for that 'line.'"

just read it...
