Great job Digby
[Read the article: Goodbye to all this]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I enjoyed your commentaries here very much. It's great that Joan recognized your talent and gave you broader exposure. I'm sure there is much more of that to come.

If Pollack is "liberal" then I must be Che Guevera
[Read the article: The really smart, serious, credible Iraq experts O'Hanlon and Pollack]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Great takedown Glenn of these chronically wrong mouthpieces that the wingnuts think are liberal.
Memo to Hugh Hewitt: Brookings lost the liberals a long time ago. You can have it now.
They have absolutely no idea who we really are yet they simply cannot wrap their tiny minds around the fact that 60+% of the American people agree with us.
Hewitt, Malkin and the wingnut establishment are the extremists, not the Glenn Greenwalds of the world.
Looking forward to your panel at YKos, Glenn.

Edwards and FISA at YKos
[Read the article: More on the FISA debacle]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Edwards was very critical of the FISA cave-in at the breakout session at YKos. He said "after George Bush has broken the law on domestic spying you now want to expand that power and put it in the hands of Gonzales?" He was astounded that the democrats caved the way they did.
I would expect they willl make a public statement today.

Conservatives are always the victims
[Read the article: Robert Novak's very sad story]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And they keep lying about the so-called liberal media. I only wish that were true. The growth of the progressive blogosphere has been fueled in large part by the chronic pandering of the media to the rightwing.
Watching Novak cry in his beer however, is Schadenfreudilicious!!

War crimes have been committed in our name
[Read the article: The brutal, uncivilized Libyans]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The only way the stench of shame revealed only in part by the fine New Yorker article is to submit the key architects of the torture policy (Rumsfeld, Cheney, Tenet, Bush) to the International Criminal Court in the Hague. Short of that, America's image as a land committed to the rule of law and proponent of human rights will be irretrievably lost.

A democratic president would never be allowed to wage preemptive war
[Read the article: Enforcing the community's foreign policy orthodoxy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Serious Policy folks only believe that GOP presidents should be allowed to defend our sovereignty in preemptive, unilateral, and hegemonic ways. Look at the nonsense flung at Clinton who supported the effort to abort ethnic cleansing in Bosnia. He's not GOP so he doesn't get to wage war. The hypocrisy of this bunch along with their smug self certitude is a clear and present danger to our national welfare.

Cornyn's crocodile tears are pathetic
[Read the article: Gonzales: As it began, so it ended]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The partisan witch hunt that John "crocodile tears" Cornyn refers to was the one orchestrated by Abu's DOJ regarding bogus voter fraud cases and carefully timed indictments against democratic candidates. Will the MSM call him out on that?.......
....Didn't think so
Neither the truth nor the rule of law matter to this lawless Gooper bunch in DC. They are a disgrace.
The Congress should still go after Gonzo on criminal perjury charges.

Another taboo word: Occupation
[Read the article: Am I in bed with MoveOn?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is an occupation. A very messy, deadly one with no end in sight. The Democrats in Congress are going to roll over again like the cheap hookers they are. Pelosi has been AWOL-there is no leadership, there is only triangulation and meanwhile they can't seem to understand why the country (not just the base) are disgusted with them.
So far the Democratic Congress is all hat and no cattle. And the imbecilic cowboy keeps on swaggerin'.

Congress has the power to charge "inherent contempt"
[Read the article: Contempt for Rove, Bolten]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Last done in 1934 it can still be done and should be done if impeachment is off the table. Harriet, Josh, and Karl need to be in a jail cell under the US Capitol pending their trial for contempt.
Refusal to appear before Congress is a criminal offense that needs to be enforced..by any means available to the Congress. The Congress has Supreme Court validated means at its disposal to enforce its powers and will need to exercise those means in this case.

Glennzilla scores again
[Read the article: CNN's John King responds]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'll bet King knows who you are now.
The arrogant petulance of King's response was nauseating.
How dare Glennzilla criticize one of the true "bards" of Quinn-Broderville!!
If King interviewed Edwards I don't think he would be so fawning. A Faux maverick is just so much more comfy than a real one.
Shorter King: "of course we bias the journalistic playing field toward Republicans---whaddya gonna do 'bout it?"
Great job Glenn.

The Giants won't win but they will cover
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You took on the wrong question. The Giants will cover.

Juan McSame's "gaffes"
[Read the article: Journalists, McCain and the false Iran/al-Qaida link]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]McSame is wrong even when he is "right". He has been wrong on every single aspect of this war and also about Iran-yet his bona fides as a Serious Politician are never questioned. That is the most maddening thing of all.
We don't need a third term of Bush's policies. That's exactly what we'll get with McSame. (Assuming his native born Panamanian status is somehow overcome as an impediment to his candidacy)

do you enjoy being wrong?
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Louisville does not have what it takes to beat Carolina. Kansas??? You are kidding, right?

McCain secretly hearts torture
[Read the article: John McCain and Bush's torture powers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This so called "war-hero-man-of principle" folded like A CHEAP TENT in the face of the Bush Torture Presidency. The one issue that he could have credibility on he dismissed in favor of satisfying the lunatic fringe of his party. He is a lying hack if he says for one minute that he opposes torture. When it came time to cast the crucial vote against Bush on this, he folded. The man is a doddering old fool who would sell his mother to be president.
McCain is unfit to serve.

Phil Gramm is the "Zelig" of conservative idiocy
[Read the article: McCain's scary economic advisor]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It has always bothered me that Saint Ronnie was never held accountable, either at the time or since, for his disastrous deregulation policies that created the S&L disaster of the 1980s. Yet again, 20 years later, deregulation rears its ugly, disastrous, fetid, yet perfectly predictable head in the form of the foreclosure crisis. That Phil Gramm is at the nexus of both (not to mention Enron as an added bonus) is confirmation in the extreme of the corruption of our political process and its slavish dedication to a failed ideology.
Phil Gramm must become the most visible symbol of what a McCain economic policy would look like.
