Baghdad Hotel Bombed. Not a very high profile hotel, by all accounts, but one frequented by Arabs and Iraqis, and one located near a lot of media folk — who are now busy providing Al-Qaeda with all the satellite coverage of flames and twisted wreckage an explosives-packed car and a mess of dead civilians can buy.
Kerry doesn’t know Dick
Writing in the New York Post, Dick Morris gives his plump thumbs up to the President’s latest campaign ads: Particularly clever is the tax-increase charge. Throughout the Democratic primary, Kerry competed with his fellow candidates to denounce the Bush tax cut and to urge its repeal. Now Bush has turned the rescinding of a tax reduction into a tax increase […] […] voters are inclined to believe that Kerry does
