Showtime. Update: Tribute to Michael Monsoor

Oh, baby. Plus more Dem bristling about appeasement.

Straw man savagely thrashed; film at eleven.

No puede. Not yet.

Too little, too late.

“…clearly Fred Thompson is not going to be the nominee.”

Still in. For now.

No begging.

Choose your medicine.

Delayed Fred-mentum.

Fred Thompson was just on Fox News. He’s in South Carolina while all eyes are on New Hampshire. The campaign’s launching an 11-city bus tour. “This is my firewall,” he stated bluntly.

Delaware debacle.

Noncommittal

King: “There is only one candidate who epitomizes the full spectrum of our conservative values.”

An “apology.” Heh.

Debunking the AP spin: I see that the BDS victims at the Associated Press are trying to [...]

Get on with it, already!
People are asking me to comment on the non-announcement announcement by unnamed Fred Thompson advisers about a non-public public non-plan plan to officially non-officially test the waters for a presidential bid that may or may not happen on July 4, but probably the first week of July, which “could culminate [...]

***Update 12:51 pm: Senate limits Gonzales’ hiring authority***
Bloggers on the left and the right are sifting through the U.S. attorney-gate e-mails–3,000 pages of them now posted on the House Judiciary Committee website.
MSM outlets are digging, too. ABC News reports that beleaguered AG Alberto Gonzales doesn’t use e-mail. NYTimes writes: “The new e-mail provided fresh details [...]
