To paraphrase, if I may, "What editorializing media?" Well, how about the one that executive editor Bill Keller of the New York Times describes: Thanks to a virtual blackout by his fellow editors elsewhere in the media, odds are good...

Iraqis Fail To Meet Constitution Deadline

Despite Setback, Bush Optimistic on Iraqi Charter

The moonbat left is declaring defeat, and saying that the experiment of democracy in Iraq is failing. The Chief thinks not. To recall some historical perspective it took the USA years to come up with a Consititution after the end of the Revolutionary War.

Neither Rome nor Washington were built in a day - so why should anyone expect a new Baghdad to happen instantly, and without some jostling? Like Bismarck once observed: "People who like sausages and laws shouldn't watch either one being made." Not a bad observation to keep in mind - it might even still apply to us! (Shocking idea, that!)

Thanks to all who submitted links in the recent "call for links" posts. I'm working on getting several of the links added to the blogroll, but for some reason Typepad doesn't really want to co-operate with me tonight. But they'll...

Durbin offered proof of column

Senator Dick "Turban" Durbin (Donk - IL) got himself stuck in the waffle iron, while trying to backpedal after applying a de-facto religious test to the nomination of Judge Roberts to the SCOTUS.

A law professor who used Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin as a source for a column last month about federal Judge John G. Roberts Jr. -- a column that Mr. Durbin later disputed -- has a taped phone message that he says proves the accuracy of his reporting.

Damn! Pesky factual evidence of weasels at work! How's a Donk politicial supposed to do his thing when someone holds him (or her) to the facts!

In an Aug. 4 letter to Mr. Durbin, Mr. Turley laid out his detailed recollection of the situation and quoted extensively from a taped telephone message from Mr. Shoemaker. "While speculation continues as to what was said in your meeting, I wanted to establish that everything said in my article was taken directly from my notes, confirmed by your staff, and never questioned on any point on accuracy," Mr. Turley wrote. "I stayed out of this controversy for over two weeks as your staff has insisted that the account was inaccurate. However, it is grossly unfair to present this matter as an error on our part when we specifically confirmed the account with your staff and never heard a single objection on accuracy until the story ran."

What? A Donk Senator waffling? Anyone got some syrup?

Cindy Sheehan is making some wild statements. First we have her saying she will not pay her 2004 taxes:My son was killed in 2004. I am not paying my taxes for 2004, Sheehan told an audience of Veterans for Peace....

I don't know, and most likely neither do you. One sure can't tell from his position on Wallace v. Jaffree (1985). But the Associated Press and even the Washington Times have pounced on a memo about that case. The problem...
