Fresh off a week’s worth of faux outrage over Dick Cheney’s suggestion that a Kerry administration will make America more vulnerable to terrorist attacks (a suggestion he never made), the Kerry campaign today warned Americans that the reelection of George Bush will almost certainly lead to Armageddon. Because they have no shame.  Whatsoever.  None. random fabricated headline:  “Incredibly stupid people in all 50 states threaten to cast votes for John

Hmmmm.* For the record, I believe Burkett to be a classic patsy—an ideologue with an ax to grind whose history of anti-Bush lunacy is being exploited by someone with a bit more juice than Burkett could muster on his own.  I believe Cleland was used by that same person or persons. Bill INDC shares my reservations—at least in regard to Burkett. Michele, too. I speculated early this morning that Burkett

Drudge exclusive: Last week, amid increasing questions about the authenticity of documents used in support of a 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY story about President Bush’s time in the Texas Air National Guard, CBS News vowed to re-examine the documents in question—and their source—vigorously. And we promised that we would let the American public know what this examination turned up, whatever the outcome. Now, after extensive additional interviews, I no longer have

Keeping on with the Barnes / Burkett / Rather axis-of-evil theory (sorry, my nipples insist), there’s this from John Ellis, posted September 11: If you traveled in certain circles on the East Coast this past summer, the one story you heard over and over again was that Ben Barnes had the goods on George W.

Okay.  So me and the weaponized nipples* are ready to add a few thoughts to Allah’s recent RatherGate observations, because I think the points he raises are both important and suggestive. First, Allah excerpts bits from the Washington Post story that add to the “established” time line: In mid-August, Mapes told her bosses that she had finally tracked down a source who claimed to have access to memos written in

(…and with that he disappeared—the phrase “about 2 pounds” hanging heavy in the air like the ghost of Sam Kinison…)

From RatherBiased:  “Rather Ambushed at Dallas Airport; Anchor Bashes Fox” Fox News has reported that Dan Rather received the “60 Minutes treatment” when he was confronted by a local Dallas TV reporter. Rather has flown to Dallas apparently to help his CBS people in Dallas get their stories straight and bolster their defense. More and more media organizations are picking apart Rather’s claims, as more is uncovered about the Texas
