(Rather than attacking policies, they attack the individual.) Pelosi has been called a fading phenomenon, a fly-by-night who's spent her glory in the 100 hours and is about to fade into oblivion. The media love it because they thrive on failure, death, and dissing women. I doubt that it's any more profound - in the media case - than what will "sell soap." As far as the Dems go, it's about time that they realize that the attention span of most of us is about 10 minutes. If you don't want a "story" to take old, you've got to get out there like now and refute it. I don't know whether they've always been so after- the-fact but for the last not so few years it's become a pattern - and a very dangerous one. Repubs are going to throw out this crap non-stop but only if they can get away with it, and the way things are going they are getting away with it. Disgusting.

Something I also smell is the acrid shameful scent of some so-called centrist beltway Democrats colluding to allow the disinformation......else why do we not hear our beltway Dems, loud and clear through press statements, shouting out the truth of Murtha's plan?

Somebody ought to tell Wall Street... The DJI is dropping like shit from a sick ox... (As my Daddy would have said) Bush is doing us a favor, is he?

Somebody ought to tell Wall Street…

The DJI is dropping like shit from a sick ox…

Relationships once formed are not self-sustaining and repeated prolonged absences strain even the best of relationships. People have needs that can't be met or filled long distance. Bush is actually doing America a favor..He's working the kinks out of the all volunteer system of the American military.

They are wedded to this fiction of a fringe group among Democratic voters who support withdrawal from Iraq and whom the party must placate even while carefully courting the vast "middle-way" folks who want to stay the course. In fact, the <a href="http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=304" rel="nofollow"> latest Pew poll</a> shows that the "anti-war left" comprises the following members of the lunatic fringe: Democrats: 74% Independents: 55% Republicans: 23% That's a mighty big fringe. I understand why the 3 in 4 Republicans who still want to keep troops in Iraq would deny theirs is a minority view. But I'll be damned if I can figure out why our nation's "brave" journalists cling to that same lie!
