The end of an era
Respected newsman Peter Jennings, prime-time anchor for ABC News, has died of lung cancer at 67. Though born a Canadian he will be missed, and probably replaced by some vapidly cheerful blond bimbette or mimbo.
A good guy.

Senile, cantankerous old fuckwit apologizes for outburst
Querulous, ill-tempered traitor Bob Novak apologized for snarling "bullshit!" on the air and walking off a CNN set, but said it had nothing to do with the Valerie Plame case.
"I apologize for my conduct and I'm sorry I did it, goddammit," he barked in an interview. "Now leave me the fuck alone!"
Meanwhile, NoozeMax, still enamored with the ex-Presidental penis, helpfully reports that "CNN commentator Robert Novak's decision to storm off the set of 'Inside Politics' has already received four times as much news coverage as a similar meltdown by President Clinton. Clinton walked out in the midst of a 1994 interview with NBC in Prague."

Scooter Libby and Judy Miller met on July 8, 2003, two days after Joe Wilson published his column. And Patrick Fitzgerald is very interested
The Libby-Miller meeting and the publication of traitorous, senile old fuck Boob Novak's column unmasking Valerie Plame as a CIA "operative" came during an intensive period of time while senior White House officials were scrambling to discredit her husband, former Ambassador Wilson, who was then asserting that the Bush administration had relied on faulty intelligence to bolster its case to go to war with Iraq.
Both pasty, vengeful asshat Karl Rove and Libby discussed with Novak, Cooper, and other journalists the fact that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, and that she was responsible for sending him to Niger, in an effort to discredit him.
Lewis Libby may possibly have the ability to ascertain Miller’s release by simply signing a specific, personal waiver that she disclose what she knows.
But Libby does not appear to be willing to do that.

And here's the kicker:
The president of the United States -- at whose pleasure Libby serves and who has vowed to do everything possible to get to the truth of the matter -- does not appear to be likely to direct Libby to grant such a waiver any time soon.

Maru,
I think I have figured out why Preznit Cowpie is taking such a long vacation.
I read that he's "...clearing brush..." again. How much "brush" does Compound W have, anyway? Does he live too close to the railroad tracks? Is he really a homeless guy?
No, I think that he gets out his chainsaw and cuts down everything that surrounds his home. The circle just keeps getting bigger and bigger, so it takes longer and longer....and anyway, it cuts down on Cheney's babysitting time.

No-balls Novak goes nookuler on air, now a non-person at news network
My jaw just about hit the floor last night when sneering, dyspeptic traitor Boob Novak snarled "that's bullshit" and stormed off the set on CNN.
For a second I was like, what, did his colostomy bag spring a leak? Carville putting a trash can over his head a while back was more professional than this. It wasn't until the end of the segment that we got an explanation, as it were: the cranky, traitorous windbag had turned chickenshit and ran.
Ed Henry, host of CNN's Inside Politics: "And I'm sorry as well that Bob Novak obviously left the set a little early. I had told him in advance that we were going to ask him about the CIA leak case. He was not here for me to be able to ask him about that. Hopefully we'll be able to ask him about that in the future."
I'd pay to see that.
Frothing, choleric old crank Robert Novak, whose revelation of a CIA officer's name in a 2003 column has sparked a federal probe, was suspended by CNN after he swore and walked off the set during a live taping of "Inside Politics."
CNN correspondent Ed Henry said afterward that he had been about to ask Novak about his role in the investigation of the leak of Valerie Plame's identity, which the columnist has repeatedly refused to comment on.
A CNN spokeswoman, Edie Emery, called Novak's behavior "inexcusable and unacceptable." Novak apologized to CNN, and CNN was apologizing to viewers, she said.
"We've asked Mr. Novak to take some time off," she said.

Get over it, you nightmare-inducing harridan
Florida Senate candidate and whining harpy Katherine Harris is accusing newspapers of doctoring her photos to make her look like she's an ugly ho-bag wearing too much make-up.
Kenneth Irby of the Poynter Institute for Media Studies said the development of digital photography in recent years has made it easier to manipulate photos. As a result, he said, newspapers have tightened their ethics policies prohibiting such practices and have fired people for making even minor changes in news images.
That makes it unlikely that newspapers did what Harris is charging, he said.

Marine killings in Iraq send new warning sign to Bush, lying misadministration hacks.
Eighty-two percent of people polled by Foreign Affairs and Public Agenda for a survey released Wednesday - but conducted before the latest spike in violence - worried that the Iraq war was reaping too many casualties.
"The violence in recent days in Iraq is a grim reminder of the enemies we face," Preznit aWol Coward said on the first full day of his month-long summer vacation.
In [another] worrying sign for the White House, a US congressional race on Tuesday turned on the question of Iraq as Marine reservist and Iraq veteran Paul Hackett was only narrowly defeated by his Republican opponent in a highly conservative Ohio district.
It's amazing that when Don Rumsfeld and other members of the misadministration sneak into the Baghdad Green Zone under heavy security and stay for a few minutes they're lauded as heroes, but Mr Hackett, who actually served in Iraq, is called a 'puke' - by the very same people who not only accuse the Dems of not supporting the troops, but who themselves cowardly avoided the Vietnam war. Due to cysts on their ass (true story!).

And the MSM wonders why its reputation is in the toilet
The WaComPo continues its fellatothon of the misadministration.
"Last week, Democrats pounced on an error in Mr. Bolton's Senate questionnaire, on which he said he had not been interviewed by administrative or criminal investigators in the past five years; he had, in fact, been interviewed at one point by the State Department's inspector general -- a fact the administration says slipped his mind. Like many aspects of Mr. Bolton, it's not flattering, but it doesn't justify denying the president a vote on his choice."Oh, good.
I'm sorry, but "not flattering" is making a brooch out of a weather bulletin, not lying to Congress about lying about going to war.

The Chimp-in-Chief said Monday he believes schools should discuss "intelligent design" - you know, that God created the universe some 6000 years ago, and the Grand Canyon is where Jebus's dad took a leak a few years back - alongside evolution when teaching students.
"I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought," Bush said. "You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes."

Family values and the sanctity of marriage
I heard on newsradio 880 this morning that the reason ultra-rightwing Rupert Murdoch's son and heir Lachlan resigned his executive position on Friday was due to his dad giving more control of the company to the children of his third wife. Which is kind of bizarre seeing how they're still in preschool.
Fun fact: Murdoch's first marriage ended in divorce in 1960. In 1961 he married an employee, who he 'divorced acrimoniously' in 1998 after she found out he had been having a 'long-running affair' with another employee, who was 40 years his junior. She is now wife number three.
Update: It's true.
