While I was stuck in traffic on the way to UStream’s Mountain View offices for the From the Frontlines web-a-thon yesterday, I tuned into the Gitmo interrogation hearing by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties. Serving as human voo-doo dolls: Berkeley law professor John Yoo, who served in the [...]

“Breathtakingly naive”.

Wabbit season! Duck season!

Thank goodness for Iran’s help in winning the war in Iraq!

Hmmm…do you believe them when they tell you they’re lying?

Oh, baby. Plus more Dem bristling about appeasement.

The Left tries a pre-emptive strike…

Where’s Fredo?

Update 6:00pm Eastern. DJN: “Lawmakers in the Senate defeated an initial attempt Thursday to strip immunity for telecommunications companies out of a bill reauthorizing the federal government’s warrantless wiretapping program. Senators approved a motion to table an amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would have removed the immunity provision in the bill. The [...]

Just thought you should be reminded of what the do-nothing Dems are up to:
The US Senate is holding special one man sessions throughout Christmas and the New Year to prevent President George W. Bush from making appointments without the approval of the Democratic majority.
With the bang of a gavel, Democratic Senator Jim Webb declared the [...]

White Flag of Surrender waves again.

The Democrat meltdown continues–and finally, a Senate defense bill will get to the president’s desk. With no timetable strings attached. Code Pinkos will be seeing red (hat tip - Jim Hoft):
The Democratic-led Congress authorized more Iraq war spending on Friday, sending President George W. Bush a defense bill requiring no change in strategy after failing [...]

Botched.

Don’tMoveOn.org.

Neeever mind.

Surrender.

Surrender Caucus. Plus: An informed essay on “Why the violence has declined in Iraq.”

This is high-larious. The Hill reports on an internal Democrat strategy memo complaining that the Democrat Party is too hyper-rational and lacks emotional appeal.
For real. They think “SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILLLLLDREN!” is too bland and accountant-like:
Democrats are losing the battle for voters’ hearts because the party’s message lacks emotional appeal, according to a widely circulated [...]

Cut, run, hike, hike, hike.

The Code Pinkos and nutroots will have foaming mouthfuls to say about this:
The enormity of the military conflict in Iraq was spelled out in the simplest of all admissions tonight:
Among all of the leading Democratic candidates for president, none was willing to commit to a promise in [...]

***bumped and update: Senate approves the bill…“The Senate vote to send the legislation to the president was 80-14.”***
Oh, the nutroots are as unhappy with the White Flag Dems right now as grass-roots conservatives are with the Amnesty Republicans:
Bowing to President Bush, the Democratic-controlled House reluctantly approved fresh billions for the Iraq war on Thursday, minus [...]

Looks that way to me.

Announcement reportedly coming at 6:10pm Eastern tonight.

85 days and counting. From the office of Sen. John Cornyn:
*In case you missed it, according to Congressional Quarterly today, even though the conference report on the supplemental bill for our troops was adopted by the House and cleared by the Senate last week, House Speaker Pelosi “wanted time to personally read it and sign [...]

Clowns to the left of us, clowns to the left…
The Dem presidential candidates are “debating” in South Carolina. Hillary’s Harlem voice has yet to surface. Joe Biden’s foot has not entered his mouth…yet.
Live-blogging over at The Hillary Spot and Sister Toldjah.
And…spotlighting Gravel-mania.

Reader and Vietnam Vet Jack Haley e-mails:
The White Feather has been a symbol for cowardice. I suggest that white feathers be sent to the leaders of the Senate and House for the cowardly vote that abandons our soldiers around the world.
I was in Vietnam the day that the 101st took “Hamburger Hill” — the headline [...]

Get out the veto pen, President Bush.

The Tank publishes Joe Lieberman’s floor statement. Here’s a tidbit:
I have great respect for my friend from Nevada. I believe he has offered this proposal in good faith, and therefore want to take it up in good faith, and examine its arguments and ideas carefully and in depth, for [...]

Dear Senator Reid,
Thank you for finally putting this whole Iraq War mess to bed. The timing couldn’t be better for my family.
You see, my son is serving in this “lost war” [...]
