David Duke was on The Situation Room just a bit ago to discuss the recent Holocaust Global Vision conference (aka, Holocaust Deniers United) and the Israel / Palestinian conflict.

Hilarity ensues!

In confronting Wolf Blitzer, Duke said:

DUKE:  But you know something?  You can't handle me, and you can't handle the truth, and the fact is, you are an agent of Zionism.  You work for AIPAC...

A brief history for the uninformed.  Earlier this year the Georgia legislature passed the notorious voter ID law, which earned Georgia the distinction of having the strictest voting law in the country.  Woo!  We're #1!  In late October, the 11th Circuit upheld an injunction preventing the law from going into effect for the November elections.

Maine State Representative Brian Duprey is the sponsor of legislation entitled, "An Act To Protect Homosexuals from Discrimination"  Sounds good enough.

Topic:  American Foreign Policy after September 11th.

I think this is an excellent way for Dean to show that the Democrats do know a little something about foreign policy.  Interestingly, in his opening remarks Perle described himself as a Scoop Jackson Democrats.  You guys can use this as an open thread to discuss the debate.

Yes Virginia, it is true.

Here's a small round-up of news from around the world.  Thanks you BBC World Edition.

More on the flip.

Yesterday, I posted a diary in which I attempted to update the dKos reader blogs page.

A few of you mentioned that it would be great if the blogs could be categorized by state.  Uh huh.  You people are never satisfied!  So this morning, I separated the blogs by state.  If I couldn't find your location, I listed you as homeless.  I listed the blogs with multiple authors under various.

If you want your blog listed or object to your category, lemme know.

Because I am a sadist and have nothing better to do on this cold Saturday afternoon, I'll attempt to do so.

Roemer said he wouldn't move the party further to the right, nor further to the left.  Fowler attempted to demonstrate his knowledge of the South by referencing collard greens / cornbread and the "redneck rivera"

First question (some guy from Michigan), why did we lose the Presidential race?

Roemer:  First, national security.  Second, values.

Dean:  We lost on national security because we let the President FRAME the issues.  And, we didn't do a good job letting people know where we stood.

I'll continue to update this thread both in the diary and in the comments.

In preparation for the holidays, tonight I started lining my front windows with white lights.  As I'm doing so, I notice there are four people standing at the edge of my front yard.  Bailey, my dog, is eying them suspiciously and growling.

I stop staring for a moment and concentrate on ripping the duct tape (I have 5 pairs of scissors and can't find a one).  Then, there's a knock on my door.

I'm really starting to hate all these "[Insert person here] for 2008" diaries.  But since every one is obsessed with being the first person to name a possible candidate, I'd like to do something different. 

Here is my list of people who should not be the Democratic nominee:

This is from the front page of the Election Page.

I'm adding this line since the Diary God hates me.

There wasn't an open thread, so you can talk about the interview here.
