Huh? Wha the? Say again.

God love her, Helen Thomas pins Dana Perino, and Perino dances around the lies and incompetencies of her boss. (H/T to TPM)

Over at Crooks and Liars, they point out that Bush mourned the announcement of the death of the 4000th US soldier on Easter Sunday by mugging with a 6 foot Easter Bunny on the White House lawn.

For you mystified conservatives

Thanks to Crooks and Liars for pointing us to this editorial cartoon originally printed in Illinois' Springfield Journal-Registar.

Dodd: second choice integrity in Iowa

Chris Dodd has shown an enormous amount of integrity throughout his uphill campaign in Iowa. Many, including me, have said that he's tilting at windmills.

In Iowa, where the second tier candidates have begun to strike deals on the second choice votes in the caucus, idealogues like Dennis Kuchinich, have succumbed to dealing. In the caucuses, if your candidate does not reach the 15% threshold of caucus voters, those votes are able to migrate to other candidates. Some of these below-threshold candidates have begun to encourage their supporters to vote for specific candidates. For example, Kuchinich has thrown his second choice votes to Barack Obama.

Here's what Chris Dodd had to say yesterday.

The irony, of course, would be hilarious, if it weren't so frightening

So, it's not reasonable to restrict constitutional freedoms, eh.

Mirror, anyone?

Be scared, be very scared

Seymour Hersh has had a line on the Bush administration from the beginning, and nearly everything he has "predicted" has come to pass.

In the most recent issue of the New Yorker, he writes about the Bush administration plans for attacking Iran.

And who, amongst our opposition leaders will stand up to him? Reid? Pelosi? Clinton? Obama? Mario Cuomo?

We're in for some bad shit.

We're making a list, checking it twice...

Keith Olbermann and Senator Jim Webb discuss the newly uncovered proof, the Spanish "Downing Street memos," which prove that George Bush intended to attack Iraq long before there was a UN resolution, and long before he admitted to the American people that he would do so.

What's more, Webb, who served in the military in Vietnam and the first Iraq War, gives his opinion of the chickenhawks who are chomping at the bit for war in Iran, and calling military dissenters, "phony soldiers."
