"Fred Thompson may have hidden depths, but
ask yourself this: If he did not look like a basset hound
who had just read 'Old Yeller' - (ha
ha) - and if he did not talk like central
casting's idea of the god Sincerity,
would anyone think he ought to be entrusted
with the nation's nuclear arsenal? He is an actor, and, as a
Hollywood axiom says, 'The
key to acting is sincerity -- if you can fake that, you've got it made.'
"
-- George Will, gunning for Tennessee Tuxedo
WaHoPo
"Hidden depths?"
Does that mean he comes off as shallow?
You'd think after 20 years of lobbying, he could fake that sincerity
with no problem.l
Powell Belies
'Commander Guy' Bush
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Washington journalists face a tricky dilemma.
One of their all-time favorite "wise men" - Colin
Powell - has belied Bush's "commander guy" fiction,
albeit in an understated way. On NBC's "Meet
the Press" on June 10, host Tim Russert asked Powell
why his prediction of a troop drawdown by early
2007 hadn't come to pass.
"A different choice was made by the President,"
Powell answered. "The President received advice
from his military advisers last fall that said,
do
not send more troops.
"Gen. [John] Abizaid went before the Congress,
the commander of Central Command,
and said he had consulted with all his division
commanders in Iraq and
all of the senior commanders, and none
of them wanted to send additional troops.
"They thought the strategy at that point should
be to put the burden on the Iraqis to resolve what I call a civil war."
Too bad the press and the Democrats have given Bush a pass of those
lies.
Bush says he's following the recommendations of his gernerals - but
he's not -
but the whore press and the sheepish Democrats allow those lies to
go unanswered.
The result?
GOP blocks
Gonzales no-confidence vote
They had no confidence he'd pass the confidence vote
Excerpt:
Republicans blocked a Senate no-confidence vote
on Tortureboy Gonzales Monday,
rejecting a Democratic effort to force him from
office amid blistering criticism from both parties.
The 53-38 vote to move the resolution to full
debate fell seven short of the 60 required. In bringing
the matter up, Democrats dared Republicans to
vote their true feelings about a Torture-addicted ass
who has alienated even Bush's strongest defenders
by bungling every damn thing he's had a hand in.
Subject: Republican 'logic'
The latest rationalization by the right about
global warming is that, yes, they admit, it is happening,
but there is no proof human activity is causing
it.
So let me get this right: the party of personal
responsibility looks at global warming,
with all the devastation about to happen to the
earth and to humankind,
and figured that since it isn't our fault, we
don't have to fix it.

"She's now running for president, and we felt
that people needed to understand how she acts
in the political arena and, and use that as
a basis for deciding whether she's qualified to be
president or not. And, you know, in essence,
we sort of found that there're two Hillarys.
There's the well-informed, the battle-tested,
the diligent senator who does her homework.
And then we found another Hillary where she
plays fast and loose with the facts, she won't
admit a mistake, and she sort of, you know,
retreats into a shell."

Excerpt:
The federal Military Commissions Act doesn't
strip al-Marri of his constitutional right
to challenge his accusers in court, the judges
found in Monday's 2-1 decision.
"Put simply, the Constitution does not allow the
President to order the military to seize civilians
residing within the United States and then detain
them indefinitely without criminal process,
and this is so even if he calls them 'enemy combatants,'"
the court said.
Such detention "would have disastrous consequences
for the Constitution - and the country,"
Judge Diana G. Motz wrote in the majority opinion,
Well, well, the judges finally - after four years - remembered we have
a Constitution.

Subject: I'm depressed
Three US soldiers were killed and six injured
after a suicide bombing caused a bridge across a highway
near the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, to collapse.
The soldiers were manning a checkpoint on top of the bridge
when a car bomb exploded beneath, the US military
said.
The attack on Sunday was the latest in a series by Iraqi militants on bridges.[..]
Sunday's attack on the bridge over the main highway
linking Baghdad to southern Iraq
brought to at least 28 the number of US troops
killed in Iraq so far this month.

Hillary Books
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
All too frequently, they hark back to the clichés,
however. Page after page presents us with the
scheming woman whose arrogance and ambition were
exceeded only by her incompetence,
and who barely evaded indictment because of her
impulse to conceal the truth. Only her almost
superhuman will to achieve power has allowed
her and Bill to overcome the consequences of
their character flaws and their troubled partnership
-- or so we are urged to believe.
As with all books about Hillary, each of these
boasts of the hundreds of interviews and thousands
of documents that undergird their conclusions.
Indeed, Bernstein's jacket copy goes so far as to
claim that he "reexamined everything pertinent
written about and by Hillary Clinton," which sounds
like a literally impossible task. Both books
feature the usual surfeit of mind-reading moments (such as
"Hillary began contemplating" and "Hillary knew
... in her heart"), plus the usual anonymous quotes
(from "a senior aide" or "a top presidential
aide" or, somewhat less plausibly, "a Hillary friend" or
"a Hillary confidant") putting her in her place.
After all the shrill calumniation, she remains
a highly credible candidate for president.
What? Calumniation?
Joe sends me to my dictionary - calumniation
means slander.
I love what Joe says about Hillary's mind readers.
People read that shit and think, "So that's
what Hillary's true motives are."

Stuff Happens at Justice
Excerpt:
Monday was just a day like any other at our Department
of Justice. Tortureboy Gonzales said he wasn't
paying close attention to the fact that 53 senators
had in essence voted that they had no confidence in him.
At the same time, Solicitor General Paul Clement
declined to file a friend-of-the-court brief on the side of
the plaintiffs in an upcoming Supreme Court case
that will determine whether Enron's shareholders can receive
any damages from the banks and brokerage houses
that supplied the matches when Enron cooked its books.
In choosing not to file a brief, Clement turned
down a request from the Securities and Exchange Commission
to have the government intervene on shareholders'
behalf.
If I lost money in that Enron collapse I'd be screaming my head off.
Isn't anybody angry? Where are these people?
Why aren't they protesting the theft of their life savings?
Poll: Most
Republicans Reject Evolution
Why go with science when you can go with superstition?
Excerpt:
The three Republican presidential candidates
who said they do not believe in evolution
may have been taking a safe stance on the issue
when it comes to appealing to GOP voters.
A new Gallup poll said that while the country
is about evenly split over evolution,
Republicans disbelieve it by more than 2-to-1.
Republicans saying they don't believe in evolution
outnumbered those who do 68 to 30.
Democrats believe in evolution 57 to 40 percent,
as do independents by 61 to 37 percent.
Those who go to church often are far likelier
to reject evolution than those who do not.

Excerpt:
What if Al Gore had won the 2000 presidential
election but died in office? Would President Lieberman
have been worse than George W. Bush? His recent
actions suggest that he could have descended even
lower in his illogical and immoral responses
to the tragedy of 9/11. Although now an independent,
Lieberman provides a cautionary tale for folks
who talk of backing "any Democrat" who can win.
At a time when even Bush has recognized the need
for negotiations with Iran in order to stabilize Iraq,
where disciples of Tehran's ayatollahs have risen
to power, thanks to the U.S. occupation he fervently
supports, Lieberman urges war with Iran. "I think
we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military
action against the Iranians to stop them from
killing Americans in Iraq," he told CBS on Sunday,
"and to me, that would include a strike over
the border into Iran."

Rattling Rusty Sabers
Excerpt:
America has acted duplicitously, even treacherously,
in surrounding Russia with NATO - against express promises;
developing new classes of atomic weapons, withdrawing
from the ABM treaty, abandoning non-proliferation regimes,
and acting both as if Russia is a has-been paper
tiger and yet a continued threat. But Russia- seeking to reassert
her
rightful power and influence, has been too aggressive:
doubling energy prices overnight, threatening Europe with a gas
OPEC, bullying foreign companies to sell their
hard won stake in Russia, and intimidating Estonia. Buoyed by its recent
wealth and stability, Russia demands respect,
but hasn't mastered the crucial difference between engendering it from
fear
and creating it from consistency, admiration,
and friendship. The fear causes flashbacks to the Soviet era, especially
among the former satellites, who then desperately
seek alliances with the West, even if unwise or destabilizing.

"We will remember Bush for the Iraq war, of
course. But I hope and believe we will give at least
as much weight to his erosion of our nation's
fundamental values and basic character. We will
remember him as the president who established
a prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, complete
with kangaroo-court military tribunals in
which detainees were not allowed to see the alleged
evidence against them...We will remember this
whole misguided administration for deciding to
wage the fight against terrorism in a manner
that not only mocks our nation's values but also
draws new recruits to the anti-American cause.
We will remember this White House for
unwittingly helping the terrorist cause
perpetuate itself."

The emperor has spoken
Excerpt:
So that's that, then. After a meeting with the
Italian prime minister Romano Prodi at the weekend,
Bush announced that it was time to bring the
issue of Kosovan independence "to a head".
In other words, Kosovo should become independent
even without the approval of the UN security council.
Now the emperor has spoken, is there really any
point discussing the future of the disputed Serbian
province any further? Well yes, actually, there
is.
What is at stake is not just the illegal seizure
from Serbia of the cradle of its national history,
and rewarding the campaign of violence by ex-KLA
members which has seen an estimated
200,000 Serbs, Roma, Turks and other non-Albanian
groups fleeing or being driven from the
province since 1999. There is also the question
of whether one dangerous and insane handjob,
George Bush, has the right to redraw the map
of the world in any way it chooses.

Among the many tragedies of the Iraq War has
