From the president's website:

50,000 turn out to support President Bush and the Republican ticket at a Jacksonville, FL rally

From "First Coast News" (A website for two local TV stations)

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- President Bush spoke to a crowd of nearly 30-thousand people at Alltel Stadium this afternoon.

For the second time now, President Bush has failed to come up with any mistakes that he made during his presidency. The first time he was asked about this was during a press conference earlier this year.

Tonight, he brushed aside the question with something about how he had appointed some people who turned out to be a mistake.

So, what we have here is it's ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT. George W. Bush does not make mistakes. Other people do.

So, who were the protesters hauled out of Madison Square Garden during last night's Bush speech? It's as if the media almost completely blacked out the event. Most stories may have mentioned the protests in passing, but didn't provide any details about what sort of people would have the balls to shout their disapproval amidst a sea of red-meat Republicans.

Anyone surfed over to "Democrats for Bush" lately? Their website is far superior to the text-laden "Republicans for Kerry" site.

A recent press release put out by the DemBushers claims that its 400-strong "Leadership Team" has 75 current or former Democratic officials (actually, they refer to them as "Democrat elected officials" which proves that a Republican wrote that thing). The team also supposedly has 3,000 "grassroots supporters."

In other words, it's mostly for show, kinda like all those citizens groups that Dick Nixon created out of thin air. Kerry, who will probably win more former Bush voters than Bush will win Gore voters, is set up to look bad yet again in the eyes of the all-seeing punditocracy.

I posted the entire list after the jump. I counted 30 or so who are current office-holders, and most of those are in Georgia and Mississippi, solid red states. However, they do have some major bigshots from Florida, including a former Speaker and some big-city mayors, plus the mayor of Youngstown, Ohio, of course. Read More

Could the Libertarians hurt Bush?

Every pollster includes Ralph Nader, but he's on the ballot in only a handful of states. The Libertarian presidential candidate could be on the ballot in all 50 states.

With all the talk about disaffected Republicans, could the Libertarians hurt Bush?

They didn't seem to do much damage in 2000, but this is a different election. How about a new meme?

You've heard, no doubt, about the spy case that's been bubbling to the surface. Here's a rundown of the players, concluding with a theory.

The FBI is investigating whether a Pentagon official provided highly classified information about U.S. policy toward Iran to the government of Israel, senior Bush administration officials confirmed Friday. [Snip]
The case involves allegations that the unnamed Pentagon official passed highly classified data to a prominent pro-Israel lobbying group, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which in turn provided that information to the government of Israel.

How do you convince a Washington journalist that you're not slapping him in the face?

I don't know. How?

Tell him you're not.

Wolf Blitzer is a PUSSY

So, Bob Dole says to CNN's Wolf Blitzer, "He was right," when shown the video of John McCain's smackdown of George W. Bush during the 2000 Republican primary. McCain, you will recall, said Bush ought to be "ashamed" of himself for going along with the attacks on McCain's valorious military service record.

Dole was attacking John Kerry duing that interview with Blitzer. Yet, Blitzer didn't use the friggin' Dole quote. Wouldn't that have balanced the story? Instead of being a balls-out, pure attack piece, Wolfie could have used both sides of Dole.

Evidently, Blitzer was more interested in helping the GOP score more putrid political points over this absolutely false swift boat lie, and not interested at all in doing anything that might upset the preznit.

I say, give Wolf some turkey.

This guy claimed in the Swifty ad that Kerry lied, but he wasn't anywhere near Kerry during the time in question. He also signed an affidavit swearing his statement was true, which has resulted in an official ethics investigation. He's scum, and now he's busted on an unrelated matter.

Clackamas County prosecutor Alfred French, who called Sen. John Kerry a liar in a political commercial, acknowledged Thursday that he lied to his boss when confronted about an extramarital affair with a colleague.
Hours later, the Clackamas County district attorney's office said French had been placed on a 30-day paid leave while it conducts an investigation into his conduct. [Snip]

Now there's no need for that I know exactly what he'll tell you. Lies! He was no different than any officer in the wardroom -- they were all disloyal.

I tried to run the ship properly by the book but they fought me at every turn. If the crew wanted to walk around with their shirttails hanging out that's all right let them take the tow line. Defective equipment no more no less, but they encouraged the crew to go around scoffing at me and spreading wild rumors about steaming in circles.

And then old yellow stain. I was to blame for Lt. Merrick's incompetence and poor seamanship. Lt. Merrick was the perfect officer but not Captain Queeg.

Ah, but the strawberries! That's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist! And I'd have produced that key if they hadn't pulled Caine out of action! I-I-I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officer and!......(realizes he has been ranting, babbling)

Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory if I've left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I'll be glad to answer them...one-by-one...
