The funny thing about Stephen Colbert is you really can't be stupid and understand him. He does O'Reilly and Sean by being more over the top than they are. He is stand up in front of the president was great.

Thanks for writing about it, Tim.

Wasn't there someone who died that the US troops were trying to hide? I just remember something about a freezer. Help me someone?

Bush has not been engaged in the War on Terror or fighting terrorists until he is on the campaign trail. I felt that he never got it. I'm not sure that he gets even now.

If Bush truly understood the threat he would not have invaded Iraq. We would be in Somalia and Indonesia, hotbeds for as long extremists. We would have completed the job of eliminating the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The list of Bush's "oversights" or lack of insight is very long.

Democratic Party chairman, Howard Dean, just makes me scratch my head sometimes. I love his passion. I love his vision. But where is the discipline? The discipline not to go too far. The discipline not to poke a stick at a wounded animal, Katherine Harris.

I still believe that he's the best man to run the Democratic Party at this time. I guess we will have to live with a good and occasionally the bad.

No surprises here. I'm just surprised that the Green Party candidate didn't refuse the money.

We aren't making enough about this. This is the new racism of the South. This is the new Ku Klux Klan type organizations that try to cleanse their message of white supremacy.

Until people like Senator Allen are removed from office we need to keep rattling their cage.

If you read Ron Suskind's book The 1% Doctrine you would have already known his answer. He lead us (The United States) on tons of wild goose chases. Banks. He said that al Qaeda was targeting banks. As you read the book, chills were run down your spine. As you recall the different terror alerts that we thought were serious. Shopping malls. Remember that one. Al Qaeda was going to target our shopping malls. Power plants, chemical plants, it became clear after awhile we couldn't guard everything. We couldn't even guard all of the banks let alone all the shopping malls. But during the paranoid phase of our response to 9/11, we tried to guard everything.

We tortured a man who is clinically insane. A man who wrote in his diary in three different voices. There is probably a special place in Dante's Inferno for those who torture already tortured men.

So do we hand out Star Trek tapes to our officers so they can study leadership skills from Kirk? That's crazy.

Slowly but surely, she is being marginalized. Thank, God.

Outstanding post. Trust is earned. Even Walter Cronkite had to earn the public's trust. The media in a rush to be #1 has lost our trust. They have made mistakes. Brian Ross is no different from any other reporter. He should have to be put to the test like the other guys. Your post today reveals that Brian does some good reporting and some not so good reporting. He MUST give us the details in order for us to make an informed opinion of his work or his work is no more than rumor to me.

Thanks again for the great job.

Great book. I will have a review of the book on my blog by Tuesday.

Great book. Well, researched, as always.

Maybe she can't remember?

Hey, Glenn.

Where can I sign up to be a Civil Liberty Extremist? I think that's a club that I would like to belong to. After reading John Adams' and Thomas Jefferson's letters, it looks that at least Adams and probably Jefferson also were in the club. So, that's the kind of club that I want to join.

I'm ready to sign up.

David Gregory is no saint. He did sit there like a bump on a log for years but he did confront Scott McClellan once. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sedc1hks-xE I think that it is clear that big media (NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox) were afraid to confront the administration. Until they analyze what happened and come clean with the American public, the press should be looked at as the silent branch of government. This is a great thing for blogs. It means that you will always have matter to write about!!
