I have heard a lot of hateful speech in my day. Being a lesbian, I've seen and heard things that would make a sailor pass out. However, Michael Reagan, the son of the former President has made one of the most outlandish, disgusting statements I have ever...and I mean...EVER heard.

in his political coffin. Mark this day as the end of Lieberman's association with democrats. In a complete act of defiance and betrayal, Senator. Lieberman issued the following letter to democrats.

In this election season, we have had a candidate espouse the idea that speeches are just words. Many have countered that words can change the world. Indeed I am one of those who truly believes that words can be mightier than the sword...words can be used to sway the minds of a nation, induce the ignorant to do your bidding, ignite wars, or bring about peace.

The recent exchange between Senator McCain and reporter Joe Klein certainly exposed another McCain gaffe in which he is rightfully being ridiculed for not understanding President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's political role. Miasmo has an excellent diary on that topic. However, I found the larger gaffe to be Senator McCain’s continued use of a completely fabricated quote to be far more jarring.

I am not one who tpyically writes diaries, so I will upfront, apologize if this isn't what the Kossacks are typically used to.

Last night, while listening to the Mike Malloy radio show, I was struck by one of his comments that in the LA Times it was reported that a cache of weapons that had been asserted to be Iranian munitions and proof of Iranian hostilities in Iraq were in fact, not Iranian. This morning, after a bit of googling, there it was, the article in question.

One question: Will Hilliary Clinton reject or denounce Ed Rendells praise
of Farrakhan?
