Remember when Trump said Hillary lacked the stamina for the Presidency? She managed to travel to 112 countries without complaint.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump slipped up during his reading of a speech on Islam, saying “Islamic” rather than “Islamist,” a minor mistake, seemingly, but one which tars an entire religion with one brush rather than that religion’s extremist fringe.

Raw Story

Jim Acosta tweeted that a White House source is saying that the mistake was due to the president being exhausted. And this is only day 2 of his trip!

I’ve got to go to bed, but wanted to make sure the community saw this. If I recall, during the campaign, Howard Stern refused to release audio from Trump’s appearances on his show or really much comment on his candidacy. Well, tonight I see this:

Howard Stern nails Trump’s impending downfall: ‘He wants to be liked, he wants to be loved’

I really can’t quote from it because it is all worth reading. It’s everything you suspected was the sad truth about Trump. I hope it doesn’t end up destroying the country.

At Least a Little Talk of Climate Change

I had dvr'd some shows on NBC tonight. Instead, I got a special on Sandy. Out of the hour show, about 10 minutes was spent on a discussion of climate change. At least it is starting to slip into the conversation, even if those doing the talking seem to be tip-toeing around actually naming it as such.

This story, from McClatchy's blog, Nukes & Spooks put a smile on my face. It seems we're to the public mocking stage of the Bush administration. I'm hoping the stockades and rotten tomatoes come next!

Anthony Gutierrez, general services director for Democratic Ohio Attorney General, Marc Dann, has been accused of sexually harassing two 26 year-old women, who are part of his staff. The harassment allegedly happened at a condo Dann shared (he moved out in December) with Gutierrez and communications director, Leo Jennings.

I heard this reported in the most lurid terms on a Dayton, OH, television station tonight and, I must say, I felt the hair on the back of my neck prickle. Dann was instrumental in the investigation into Coingate and is currently working to solve our state's problems with foreclosures, predatory lenders and failing charter schools.

Last week, Col. David Hunt, a Fox News contributor, wrote a piece for them entitled America Could Have Killed Usama bin Laden — But Didn't. Astonishingly, while he was talking about the area around Tora Bora, he didn't mean the incident with which we are all familiar from 2001. He is talking about August 2007!

Breaking News:

Gates claims he never saw Clinton's reply to Edelman and seems to disagree with what Edelman said. One of the commenters at TPM has found out Edelman's term expired in January of this year. What the hell is he doing still there, much less replying to a U.S. Senator?

Gates' reply:

"I have long been a staunch advocate of Congressional oversight, first at the CIA and now at the Defense Department. I have said on several occasions in recent months that I believe that congressional debate on Iraq has been constructive and appropriate. I had not seen Senator Clinton’s reply to Ambassador Edelman’s letter until today. I am looking into the issues she raised and will respond to them early next week."

So says Mark Cordell, a contractor sent in to coordinate repairs at Walter Reed.

He reports that, after the problems in Building 18 were exposed, the soldiers were just moved to a building that had the same problems.

Cordell was so frustrated that, last week, he quit and went to WUSA, Channel 9 in the D.C. area, with 81 pictures he had taken throughout the facility.

As did many of us around here, I agreed with the sentiment that, "Oh, poor Congress! How do they like getting a taste of the privacy violation medicine," when William Jefferson's office was raided.

I volunteered to canvass for the Paul Hackett campaign in Cincinnati today. Although I live just north of there and can't vote in the election, it would make me so happy to have a Democrat in national office from this area. Prior to canvassing, our crowd of about 200(?) was given a bit of a pep rally from Paul Hackett, John Glenn, Max Clelland, Ted Strickland and Michael Coleman.

Has this administration ever done any good thing it promised or claimed? Still not come up with anything? Me either. And here's another example of the Bushies trying to take credit for something they've not done.

Botswana's Gains Against AIDS Put U.S. Claims to Test

As global leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum in January, officials from President Bush's $15 billion anti-AIDS program issued a news release citing their accomplishments. Nowhere were the numbers more impressive than in Botswana, where 32,839 AIDS patients were receiving life-extending treatment with the help of the U.S. government, they said.

But thousands of miles away in Botswana, the Bush administration's claim provoked frustration and anger among public and private partners that had built Africa's most far-reaching AIDS treatment program, recalled those involved. Although the Bush program had promised millions of dollars of support, no money had yet arrived, they said.
