Man, the updates to Culture of Corruption just keep piling up. Here’s another one for my Clinton and Money Men chapters:
The U.S. attorney in New York on Tuesday charged a New York investor and major Democratic fund-raiser with a $74 million scheme to defraud Citigroup Inc (C.N).
Hassan Nemazee, 59, was charged with one count of [...]

Wherever the wind blows

Oh, what might have been.

Shooting his mouth off.

Gaffe-tastic.

The “F” stands for frolic.

Change that works for them.

See-Dub’s directorial debut!

“I was wondering: Do you have any advice for the new group of activists who are organizing Winter Soldier II?”

To set the record straight.

The rest of the story.

“What did I do?”

“There once was a phony named Jawn…”

The Democrat campaign to stifle conservative dissent in the name of “fairness” continues.

***update: video of milblogger Chuck Ziegenfuss on CNN discussing conditions at Walter Reed…***
I gave my opinion about the WaPo series on the mess at Walter Reed this morning. Here’s some diverse feedback from milbloggers and readers:
Smash:
It is the primary duty of every military leader to make certain that the basic needs of his troops [...]

***update: attention, military folks and weapons experts…please help Michael Yon identify a weapon he photographed and which troops he has talked to haven’t been able to peg***
The Democrats may not want to hear about Iran, but our troops in Iraq have an earful to say about it. In both formal briefings and informal conversations with [...]

The Left’s definition of a “hero”
Just in tonight from Ft. Lewis via the Seattle P-I:
The court-martial of 1st Lt. Ehren Watada ended in a mistrial Wednesday.
The case’s judge, Lt. Col. John Head, declared the trial over after a day of wrangling over a stipulation of facts that Watada had signed before the trial and that [...]

Advantage: Blackfive.

Update: Allah links to Johnny Dollar’s audio of Arkin on John Gibson’s radio show. You really have to listen the whole thing as Arkin gets shriekier and shriekier, but here’s my rough transcript of the exchange half-way through the segment…
GIBSON: The general tone of this piece is that the troops owe us, that we [...]

The World Economic Forum in Davos is a sanctuary for America-bashers. John Kerry was the star there yesterday. In case you missed it, Allah’s got video and the lowdown.
All I can say is: Thank God for the Swift Boat Veterans.

Davos is getting feedback. LGF’ers are leading the charge.
Matt at Blackfive notes that while Kerry schmoozed [...]

A couple of convictions just handed down (via the Cleveland Plain Dealer):
A jury found two Cuyahoga County elections workers guilty Wednesday of charges that they skirted Board of Elections procedures to thwart a countywide ballot recount after the divisive 2004 presidential election.
The jury convicted Kathleen Dreamer, 40, of Cleveland and Jacqueline Maiden, 59, of [...]

I’ll be on Fox and Friends this morning a little after 7:30am talking about our trip to Iraq.
We bumped into quite a few Fox fans–including a Lt. Col. who was reading Bill O’Reilly’s book when we met (and served as a guardian angel when we were stranded at Baghdad International Airport near the beginning [...]

This post is by the lizards (mostly Sachi), not by our dearest Michelle; the host is on holiday somewhere — I think she said Akron, but the connection was bad.
~^~
The Iraq war — indeed, the larger GWOJ (global war against jihadism) — is as much a propaganda war, a war of ideas and “memes,” as [...]

On December 26 and December 27, I linked to a photo publicized by radio talker Scott Hennen and Power Line of Sen. John Kerry in Iraq. Milblogger Ben of Mesopotamia, an Army Captain in Iraq, had posted the photo and recounted on Dec. 18:
On Saturday night, a colleague emailed me and told me to bring [...]

***see update here on questions about the photos***
I linked to this photo of lonely John Kerry spurned by the troops in Iraq last night via Power Line, but the photo is going viral and it’s worth re-posting as a stand-alone.

Thank radio talk show host Scott Hennen for sharing the image. He tells Power Line he’ll [...]

I’m up in NYC tonight guest-hosting The O’Reilly Factor. Catch the show on Fox News tonight at 8pm or 11pm Eastern.

Update: Speaking of O’Reilly, check out Power Line’s report on how O’Reilly’s reception in Iraq compared to John Kerry’s–photographic evidence included.

Syrian President Bashar Assad’s American tools and fools in the U.S. Senate:
Bill Nelson, John Kerry, Christopher Dodd and Arlen Specter.

The Hill reports that Hillary Clinton has hired a “faith guru” and that other Dem prez contenders are also rushing into the pews:
Burns Strider, one of the Democratic Party’s leading strategists on winning over evangelicals and other values-driven voters, will join Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as she prepares to launch her 2008 presidential campaign.
Strider [...]

I haven’t been overly thrilled with the GOP presidential candidates so far, but it looks like the other side has it worse.
Wes Clark seems like he’s ready to jump in again–prompting James Joyner to observe:
Interestingly, the Democratic field looks to be shaping up as Hillary Clinton versus a bunch of folks who have run before [...]

Photoshop via Stubborn Facts
They just can’t help themselves.
In case you needed to be reminded which party puts playing politics with the war above serious solutions, here’s the video of Rep. Charlie Rangel on Sunday resurrecting the draft–as a way to deter the White House and Congress from launching wars. And for those who think [...]
