I have a question? why was LIEberman given a standing ovation,when he was returned to the SENATE?

HaloScan.com – Comments:

” I also agree with whoever it was who lamented the widespread inability to view the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in shades of grey rather than black and white.”

In my humble opinion, it is the very fact that many do see shades of grey which allows the Israelis to continue to subvert a settlement.

There is nothing grey about the need for Israel to comply with international law and countless UNSC resolutions and return to behind the pre1967 borders.

There is nothing grey about Israeli troops occupying the Palestinian Territories, parts of Lebanon and a large chunk of Syria.

There isn’t much grey about US taxpayers giving this rogue state about $10 billion a year to support these occupations when there are so many shortfalls at home for worthy causes.

Shades of grey are what the Israeli propagandists are trying to achieve. Confusion = inaction. Inaction = the status quo.

Warbloggers endured a bleak November, watching their political heroes suffer the loss of both houses of Congress, while President Bush’s approval ratings fell toward Nixonian levels, the mainstream media finally conceded the battle for Iraq had broken down into a civil war, and even war architect Donald Rumsfeld was tossed overboard. Everything warbloggers had championed over the past five years — waging war with Islamists and creating a permanent Republican majority inside the Beltway — came undone, and the chronically incorrect warbloggers, angry ideologues who make Sean Hannity look like a man of reason, slipped into the realm of the laughingstock.

Just an abdication of any sense of journalism. Tip is twirling in his grave.
Three things that are most troubling about this goddamned case lately:
1: Lawrence O’Donnell at the end of this summer, all of a sudden declares on Olbermann’s Countdown program that it’s
all over(the Fitzgerald case) and that it was much ado about nothing (possibly in reference to Armitage’s confession/reveal that he was blabbing about Valerie Wilson as well around that time)
2: Bob Woodward’s complete skullduggery about this sickening political payback/blowback and his public, blatant disregard for honest disclosure about his direct involvement in this possible illegal act while simultaneously mocking it in the press.
3: That Washington Post Op-Ed after the Armitage reveal. Worst day in their history.
Disgusting.

The most recent images of abuse concerning Iraqi detainees will inevitably fuel the anti-Americanism that endangers American lives � not at the hands of sadistic young misfits but at the hands of our elected representatives. Members of Congress elbowing their way into camera range to question, in the absence of any evidence whatsoever, whether abuses were widespread and senior commanders were implicated and accusing the military of engaging in some cover-up are abusing the Abu Ghraib scandal and recklessly putting our troops at risk.

Toward the end of one of our meetings, I remember Luskin looking at me and saying something to the effect of “Karl doesn’t have a Cooper problem. He was not a source for Matt.” I responded instinctively, thinking he was trying to spin me, and said something like, “Are you sure about that? That’s not what I hear around TIME

The Carpetbagger Report » Blog Archive » House Republicans blame their incompetence on Dems:

I think we all need to be a bit more sensitive here and stop offending those who have done us no harm.

I’m talking about:

1) your lying sacks of shit,
2) your fuckwits,
3) those who are batshit crazy (an ATF for me)
4) creeps (an oldie but a goodie)
5) fuckbrains (a newbie but destined to be a classic)
6) punkasses,
7) incompetent zeros
8) clowns

I’m sure there are a few that I’m forgetting but no insult is intended to them.

These people have their own problems – can’t we just leave them alone? I think calling Republicans “Republicans” is demeaning and offensive enough

The strange dust-up over ‘Beat the Press’ – News – The Phoenix:

Personally, if blogging didn’t come with any media attention of any sort, I’d be happier. I deliberately followed my heart in my English BA and avoided the Journalism concentration like the plague. I liked poetry. That sort of writing you do in a little dark room at the back of the house where no one can see you, and since no one reads poetry anymore no one knows about you even if you publish. See, the core issue is that bloggers build up reputations over time, by writing and being held accountable. By not doing due dilligence on their story and subsequent (very hostile) commentary, they were attacking the one thing that Jerome and others have when blogging that keeps readers trusting you. I honestly was fooled by the story myself, and it would have colored my view of Jerome had I not the reading habits that lead me to the truth. You could say the same thing about the runup to the Iraq war, come to think of it…if it weren’t for my blogging habits, I might have been fooled like the rest of America. But I knew from the start that we were being lied to – because of people like Jerome, who connected the dots of SOME mainstream media reports and other experts out there who weren’t being covered. Without them, I’d have been a sheep too. The mainstream press thinks it doesn’t have to keep earning our trust. Well, John Carroll showed us it should be forced to. Why this keeps getting portrayed as an ego trip for said bloggers entirely misses the point, but it’s a typical MSM tactic to pick a story and make everything fit the narrative, so I guess in that respect yeah, we’re not going to take it anymore.
