Malkin Challenges the bushies

Michelle Malkin has been, I think, a pretty consistent supporter of the bush administration. Today she closes her latest column with this:

Inslaw deserves to be compensated. More importantly, the American people deserve to know the truth: Did government greed and bureaucratic hubris lead to a wholesale sellout of our national security? The Bush White House’s credibility is on the line.

This is a very strong statement coming from Malkin. As described by her, the Inslaw Promis software theft and coverup goes back to 1982 so many administrations may have been aware and involved. Her point appears to be that if this story is true and if the bushies do not support a full and open investigation (please excuse the oxymoron) they will be as guilty as the rest. This might be a shock to Malkin. There are many others though who would see this as business as usual.


One Thousand Reasons

Bush supporters will not like this site and, to be honest, I’m not particularly happy with any of the so far proposed alternatives. However, the site owner is looking for help completing a list of 1000 reasons to dump bush so if you’ve got some gripes head on over there, check his lists, and tell him your reason (see bottom left of front page for an email link).

Talking Left Walking Right

Or persuading seniors they aren’t being screwed….and persuading democrats to step up to the public plate.

Go read this post at Ruminate This:

It’s not the first time Bush has insisted that senior citizens deserve no less “choice” than he or our representatatives enjoy.

The problem here for Bush and the majority is that the plan proposed by his side looks nothing like the plans offered Federal employees like Mr. Bush. Seniors will have to pay lots more for less in the way of coverage.
….
You know, if the Democrats were smart, they’d go to the daily trouble of highlighting the differences between themselves and their right-wing counterparts.

Whether you are a democrat or not you should demand truth in advertising!


Supreme Candidates and Lists

From the category “If daddy did it then I’m going to fix it now” we have on a current list of possibles for a supreme Court Appointment: Judge Edith Hollan Jones, 54, 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals:

…. President George H.W. Bush went with David Souter when the two were Supreme Court finalists in 1989. Short of a filibuster-proof GOP Senate, Jones would prompt a battle because of opinions freeing Texas schools from affirmative action, criticizing abortion and sex harassment laws, and rejecting a new trial for a death-row inmate whose lawyer slept through much of the trial.

C’mon everyone loves a good list, don’t they? This is the place to find links and commentaries on lists of all sizes and merit.
