Hey, it's gotta be good, right?
There are TONS of great links there.
My letter to Newsweek
I imagine you're getting some flak over your fawning (and non-factual)
praise of President Bush.
Perhaps your motives are of a patriotic nature, but you failed to
state that, so your actions are puzzling.
I'm a fair person, so I thought of a challenge:
Could you publish (or just send to me to publish) something from
your back issues where you
heaped such mountains of praise on a Democratic president
who fairly won election?
Clinton would be the easiest example, I guess.
Please forward to me a few paragraphs (with attribution) where your
magazine printed paragraph after
paragraph about Clinton's greatness and I will reconsider my opinion
of you as a tool of the White House
Thanks, I used to be a reader,

Duh!
Since Rove is the president's boss, to whom is this a shock?

GOP's history is fraught with "dirty tricks" politics
Excerpt:
Watergate and/or "Angry White Males" Contract
with America notwithstanding,
no episode in the nation's sordid history
revealed the ruthlessness of a desperate
Republican Party more than the Clinton
sex scandal, which set in motion a series
of dirty tricks that culminated with the
GOP literally stealing the presidency.

Subject: Letter to Newsweek
While like many Americans, I am very patriotic
and feel that it is important to be 100% behind my leader,
I am not sure I agree with your quote.
Since the 1st day, September 11, as I watched NYC skyline go up in
smoke from my porch, Bush has done nothing to
re-assure me and make me feel safe. He wasn't the "model
of unblinking, eyes-on-the-prize...". He
galloped around the country before returning to Washington, wept in
front of the camera, and had the "deer caught
in the head lights" look when talking to the reports.
In fact, if it wasn't for my Mayor, Rudy, I don't
know how I would've felt that day.
"The President doesn't read many books", that
should not be something to be proud of.
He is a leader of the free world, the guy who
controls the most powerfull army in the world,
he really should read a book here and there.
The media has given him a free ride since day
1, and after a year of having this type
of bologna shoved down my throat, I am getting
really sick and tired of it.
That quote is nothing but a blatant attempt to
kiss butt, and it just makes me sick!
Sincerely,
Alex Mnatsakanov

To Military, He's Geraldo non Grata
Excerpt:
He's been getting precious little cooperation
from U.S. military
officials who apparently don't cotton to
the left-leaning TV star.
"The military remembers his support of Bill Clinton,"
says one insider.
"They won't let him get near stories he wants
— particularly if it
involves interviewing U.S. personnel."
You gotta love our military.
They support arms for hostages, arms to terrorists, secret pardons
to hide the truth,
a richboy wartime deserter who never worked a day in his life
- no problem.
Hell, Smirk even promised "Help is on
the way," then stabbed them in the back with,
"We want to review our options before
we just throw money at them."
But if a man gets a blow job and tried to hide it, they turn on him and all who supported him

Republican Obsession
Excerpt:
During the Monica Lewinsky crisis,
the vicious and narrow-minded puritanical men and women
of the Republican Party, like a pack of
hungry wolves, ganged up on President Bill Clinton to put
an end to his political life. In their
haste to crucify Clinton, Republicans are guilty of depleting our
precious resources and diverting our nation's
attention from our already threatened national security.

The right-wing will always hate him for standing up for Clinton,

Quotes
"The First Team has been exemplary in the eyes
of the American people.
Bush has been a model of unblinking,
eyes-on-the-prize decisiveness.
His basic military strategy... has
proved astute. He has been eloquent in public,
commanding in private. He had survived
the first blows, made the right calls
and exceeded expectations-- again.
The president doesn't read many books,
because he's busy making history, but
doesn't look back at his own, or the world's....
Bush would rather look forward than
backward. It's the way he's built."

thieving Fraud,

Great stuff on RB Ham's site...
The
Witch Hunt
by Bob Herbert
Excerpt:
If you're the United States of America,
and you're going to start arresting people and
bringing them to trial, you have to give
them fair trials. And before you start executing
people, you have to try to make sure you're
separating the guilty from the innocent.
This is not a principle that evaporates
because the populace is angry and frightened.
Excuse me, Mr Herbert, but you are in error.
That last sentence should read, "This OUGHT NOT TO BE a principle..."
since we are already living in times when Bush's whims supersede
the Constitution.
Quotes
"Under certain circumstances - very,
very restricted circumstances, depending on how it's handled,
I'm willing to look at it. With
regard to the situation in Afghanistan in particular, trying a Taliban
or terrorist or ... people involved
in terrorist activity, clearly there's at least the possibility that
something like that might have
merit."
-- Tom Daschle, Bush's other rubberstamp, on NBC's
"Meet the Whore"
