10 Years Ago This Sunday…
“Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade and much of his nation’s wealth not on providing for the Iraqi people but on developing nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them.” -President William Jefferson Clinton, January 27, 1998 Somehow this never seems to factor into the “Bush Lied” meme.
New Mitt Romney Ad: “Democrats’ Favorite Republican”
25. January 2008
Great ad, hitting him just hard enough. It touches on everything from the issues he abandoned Republicans on (campaign finance reform, judges, taxes, immigration, etc.) to the fact that he almost abandoned the party in 2001 and approached Kerry to be his running mate in ’04.
Huckabee to Matthews: Maybe Jordan Has Saddam’s WMDs?
25. January 2008
Oy. Conventional wisdom would say that HuckaGenius’ intention was to say that Syria has Saddam’s WMDs. However, Huckabee continues with his scenario even after Matthews reminds him that Jordan is at least a semi-ally and has one of the best intelligence networks in the Middle East. God help us if this ignoramus becomes our nominee. [...]

Saddam Lied About His WMDs to Prevent an Iranian Invasion?
24. January 2008
According to his former interrogator, Saddam Hussein lied about his WMD program in order to prevent an Iranian invasion.

McCain Again Uses Troops to Defend Shamnesty
24. January 2008
For which Michelle, rightly so, slams him. McCain uses the example of a U.S. soldier who was killed by al Qaeda, and whose wife turns out to be in the country illegally. Therefore, apparently, we should give amnesty to 12-2o million (depending on the estimate) illegal aliens. Out of the millions and millions of illegal [...]

Because one crappy hand-out, er, “stimulus” package isn’t enough, there’s a second one coming down the pipe.
