Tired of listening to the Left spew its faux outrage over the horror, the horror, of Libby-gate (and is it just me, or does anyone else have that "If it says Libbys Libbys Libbys on the label label label you will like it like it like it on your table table table" jingle running through their heads)? Then try these news articles on for size, and, as always, click on the links to follow to the full articles.
1. "I've never been that fond of the French, and there's a part of me that feels a touch of schadenfreude at their problems now. But my mother always said that everyone in life serves a purpose, even if it's just to be a bad example. And France is showing the rest of the world the dangers of allowing unrestricted immigration by a people determined to re-create their own society and culture, in utter disdain and defiance of their hosts. But will anyone listen?" From "Is Paris Burning?" by Jay Tea at Wizbang
2. "UN Resolution 1559 was meant to isolate Hezbollah, but it might also begin isolating Lebanon. If Hezbollah continues holding onto its weapons and the international community holds Lebanon accountable for this, there is no way that Hezbollah can continue to hold cabinet positions in the government. And there is no way that Lebanese politicians will convince the people that international sanctions against Lebanon are worth putting up with in support of a violent Shia militia that does not represent the interests of the nation as a whole and was not elected by all of the Lebanese people to administer the violent services it provides." From "Isolating Syria and Hezbollah - The Future Movement Hawks" at Lebanese Political Journal
3. "I don't own a single share of stock!" filmmaker Michael Moore proudly proclaimed. He's right. He doesn't own a single share. He owns tens of thousands of shares – including nearly 2,000 shares of Boeing (whom Moore implied was partially responsible for the Columbine School shootings in his "Bowling for Columbine" schlocumentary . . . ed. ), nearly 1,000 of Sonoco (a non-recycling packaging company which undoubtedly contributes to deforestation . . . ed.), more than 4,000 of Best Foods (which uses the liberal nightmare of genetically modified foods in its products . . . ed.), more than 3,000 of Eli Lilly (one of those dastardly American pharmaceutical manufacturers who exploit the poor and sick for profits . . . ed.), more than 8,000 of Bank One (but I thought Capitalism was evil and greedy . . . ed.) and more than 2,000 of Halliburton, the company most vilified by Moore in "Fahrenheit 9/11." From "Michael Moore owns Halliburton! -- New book debunks claims of celebrity activists" at World Net Daily
4. "Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican. Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log . . . "There is a difference between pointing out the obvious and calling someone names," said a campaign spokesman for Kweisi Mfume, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate and former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." From "'Party trumps race' for Steele foes" by S.A. Miller at The Washington Times (h/t Amy Proctor)

5. "The Italian businessman at the centre of a furious row between France and Italy over whose intelligence service was to blame for bogus documents suggesting Saddam Hussein was seeking to buy material for nuclear bombs has admitted that he was in the pay of France . . . Investigators in Rome suspect that Mr Martino was first engaged by the French secret services five years ago, when he was asked to investigate rumors of illicit trafficking in uranium from Niger. He is thought to have then been retained the following year to collect more information. It was then that he is suspected of having assembled a dossier containing both real and bogus documents from Niger, the latter apparently forged by a diplomat . . . Italian diplomats have claimed that, by disseminating bogus documents stating that Iraq was trying to buy low-grade "yellowcake" uranium from Niger, France was trying to "set up" Britain and America in the hope that when the mistake was revealed it would undermine the case for war, which it wanted to prevent." From "Agent behind fake uranium documents worked for France" by Bruce Johnston at News Telegraph (h/t World Threats)
6. "A rap star speaking up for a Republican President? Is this a sign of the Apocalypse?" From "Hell Freezes Over: 50 Cent Defends Bush" at The Jawa Report
7. "US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has defended a decision not to allow UN investigators to meet foreign terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison following allegations (by the attorneys for the detainees . . . ed.) of torture and a hunger strike . . . Rumsfeld also told a Pentagon news conference that the 27 hunger strikers, some of whom have been force-fed (i.e. fed via nasogastric tubes, a standard medical procedure in American hospitals . . . ed.) since they began fasting in August, were simply trying to attract media attention." From "Rumsfeld defends Guantanamo decision" at The Age
***(Also, check out this marvelous interview the German media source The Spiegel recently conducted with Donald Rumsfeld. I love Donald Rumsfeld -- he refuses to get caught up in liberal pretzel bending, and, instead, answers emotionally loaded questions with a disarming forthrightness that cuts right to the chase.***
8. "Former House majority leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) won an early round in his money-laundering and conspiracy trial Tuesday by getting a judge aligned with Democratic candidates and causes removed from the case. The ruling to recuse Travis County District Judge Bob Perkins was made by District Judge C.W. Duncan after a four-hour hearing. DeLay's lawyers argued that Perkins's impartiality appears to be compromised by his contributing money to national and local Democratic candidates, as well as to MoveOn.org, a group that has targeted DeLay's defeat in national fundraising efforts." From "Defense Wins New Judge in DeLay Case" by Sylvia Moreno at The Washington Post
9. "The head of a religious centre which hosted Madonna's visit to Israel was last night under arrest on suspicion of promising to cure a woman's cancer in return for more than £30,000 . . . Madonna, who wears a red thread around her wrist to protect her from negative influences, yesterday defended her adherence to Kabbalah in New York, although she did not comment on the fraud allegations. "It would be less controversial if I joined the Nazi Party," she said. "It's not hurting anybody." From "Kabbalah leader arrested over '£30,000 charge for fraudulent cancer cure'" by Conal Urquhart at The Guardian
10. "Returning to (Maureen) Dowd's original question ("Do I look as dried up and bitter as I sound?" . . . ed.), yes, the feminist movement was a hoax inasmuch as it told only half the story. As even feminist matriarch Betty Friedan eventually noted, feminism failed to recognize that even smart, successful women also want to be mothers. It's called Nature. Social engineering can no more change that fact than mechanical engineering can change the laws of physics . . . Even now, the latest book to fuel the feminist flames of male alienation is Peggy Drexler's lesbian guide to guilt-free narcissism, "Raising Boys Without Men." Is it possible to raise boys without men? Sure. Is it right? You may find your answer by imagining a male-authored book titled: "Raising Girls Without Women.""

Quick, get Alito on the Supreme Court so he can help toss the McCain-Feingold law into the shredder . . . where it belongs.
God, I hate John McCain.
Comments
I don't know why, but I found the single sentence: "God, I hate John McCain" to be the laugh out loud funny... Maybe it's because I know your delivery of the line and can hear your voice saying it in my head.
Trust me, folks. It's funny.

As to anti-Constitutionalist McCain, I say AMEN!
And as to Michael Steele:
What is the REAL, but unstated, reason Democrats hate Michael Steele enough to engage in a racist, hate campaign against him?
FEAR and a desperate need to distract the press and the public from focusing on how the Democrats have sold Maryland Blacks down the river.
Michael Steele is a native of, and lives in, Prince George's County, Maryland. EVERY county and state level elected official in Prince George's County is a Democrat. The majority of them are Black. Half of the non-Black minority are Hispanic. Top school adminsitrators are predominately Black.
If you believe the Democrat's rhetoric, you would expect Prince George's County to be a paradise, especially for "minorities."
You would be wrong.
Prince George's County's rapidly increasing murder rate is second highest in Maryland and the highest in the Washington, DC, suburbs. Prince George's County's schools are the second worst in Maryland and the worst in the Washington, DC, suburbs. The Black school chief recently resigned while being investigated by the FBI; one of his top assistants ($130,000 per year) has just been convicted on federal drug laundering charges and has been indicted on witness tampering charges. Prince George's County has more car thefts and violent carjackings than all the rest of Maryland and the DC suburbs put together.
Attacking Michael Steele is just part of the Democrats scheme to distract the public and the press from their ongoing abysmal failure to either protect or educate the people of Prince George's County.
Unfortunately, the GOP will not field, much less effectively support, respectable alternatives to the failing Prince George's County Democrats.
