Best Headline of the Day So Far:

FROM BUSH, A NEW NEGATIVITY
Scholars and political strategists say George Bush's ferocious assault on John Kerry this spring has been extraordinary, both for the volume of attacks and for the liberties the president and his campaign have taken with the facts.

"You Can Call Me Al...nah nah nah nah"

"We simply cannot afford to further increase the risk to our country with more blunders by this team. Donald Rumsfeld ought to resign immediately as the chief architect of this plan. Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, the intelligence chief Stephen Cambone all ought to resign immediately. Our nation is at risk every single day Rumsfeld remains as secretary of defense. Condoleezza Rice ought to resign immediately. She has badly mishandled the coordination of national security policy. This is a disaster for our country, and they are responsible along with the president and vice president."

-Al Gore

Thursday Mailbag

For everyone fretting over the HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA and all those GAY MARRIAGES in Massachusetts and New York, Bloggerel passes on this, currently making the rounds.

All Bloggerel is hearing about is this terror cell lurking around our country. Can't we do any better than the head of the CIA going on national television to ask everyone to "keep an eye out" for these people? A sort of Homeland Security Amber Alert?

And the threat level remains ELEVATED.

"I like to be in America/Okay by me in America..."

"The situation in Iraq and the reckless economic policies in the United States speak to one issue for me, and that is the competence of our leader. These policies are not working. But speaking specifically to Iraq, we have a situation where -- without adequate evidence -- we put our young people in harm's way."-Rep. Nancy Pelosi

"Nancy Pelosi should apologize for her irresponsible, dangerous rhetoric. She apparently is so caught up in partisan hatred for President Bush that her words are putting American lives at risk."-Rep. Tom DeLay

"...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."-Hermann Goering

Bloggerel has nothing to add to this except her thanks to Chris at Uffish.com for making the above quote available.

"I'll get by with no help from William Rehnquist..."

"(a) violation of due process occurs only when a person is actually denied the constitutional right to access a judicial proceeding. We have never held that a person has a constitutional right to make his way into a courtroom without any external assistance."

Bloggerel says strap him to a wheelchair for a week, he'll change his mind. Thankfully, cooler heads on the court prevailed. Apparently only the conservative justices think you should figure it out for yourseves. Ah, that compassionate conservatism.

In Memory of Nicholas Berg

''I would like to ask him if it is true that al-Qaida offered to trade my son's life for the life of another person,'' Michael Berg said. ''And if that is true, well, I need that information. ... and I think the people of the United States of America need to know what the fate of their sons and daughters might be in the hands of the Bush administration.''-AP

"Talkin' 'Bout My Administration..."

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said he thought "some people are overreacting." "The people who are against the war are using this to their political ends," he said.

But House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, while acknowledging that the materials showed "pretty disgusting sexual acts," said there was no need for more investigations. "The American system is working," he said. "... Our enemies are incredibly more evil than what is depicted in the pictures."

"We’ve already had two prisoners die ... but who cares?" the soldier says on the tape. "That’s two less for me to worry about."

"No physical or moral coercion shall be exercised against protected persons, in particular to obtain information from them or from third parties."-Geneva Accords

"The carnage was horrendous, and it was worth it," he said of the Civil War. "And I look at Iraq, and all I can say is I hope it comes out well. And I believe it will, and we're going to keep at it."-Donald Rumsfeld

``We care about the detainees being treated right,'' Mr. Rumsfeld said. ``We care about soldiers behaving right.''

"The actions of the terrorists who executed this man remind us the nature of a few people who want to stop the advance of democracy," Bush said.

"... We will complete our mission. We will complete our mission."-The President of the United States
