Day: May 9, 2006

Far too much of what passes for political dialog in news, the Internet and the so-called “blogosphere” these days are really just hate-filled diatribes.

Memo to Congressman Bob Ney: When the folks back home decide you’re a crook it may be time to cut your losses and run…for the hills.

The anti-abortion zealots now want to control birth control — but then they want to control everything about what women do with their bodies.

President George W. Bush screwed the pooch with his meddling at the CIA. Now he just wants to make it worse.

Like America, the Central Intelligence Agency has fallen on hard times. And, like America, the agency’s future is very, very much in doubt.

Bush likes to take big political gambles. Most of them don’t pay off, which is why his approval ratings are in the dumpster. Will the nomination of a controversial general to head the CIA be another folly from 1600 Penn?

Pretty damn low. The newest USA Today/Gallup poll puts the President’s job approval ratings at an all-time low of 31 percent. Bush continues to lose support among conservatives.

Dems want more Secret Service records on how many times scandal-ridden lobbyist Jack Abramoff visited the White House.

A former top aide to Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, pleaded guilty Monday in the Jack Abramoff influence peddling scandal, admitting he conspired to corrupt Ney, his staff and other members of Congress with trips, free tickets, meals, jobs for relatives and fundraising events.
