Was Chris Matthews distracted by another "thrill going up my leg" moment? What was he thinking?

Wasn't the USS Cole under Bush? I mean, I don't know what I'm talking about here.

Who says liberals don't have momentary lapses of honesty…?

Sit down, have a glass of wine. Warning: this is only an excerpt…

Mr. Bush, at long last, has it not dawned on you that the America you have now created, includes "cold-blooded killers who will kill people to achieve their political objectives?" They are those in, or formerly in, your employ, who may yet be charged some day with war crimes.

Through your haze of self-congratulation and self-pity, do you still have no earthly clue that this nation has laid waste to Iraq to achieve your political objectives? "This ideological struggle" you speak of, Mr. Bush, is taking place within this country. It is a struggle between Americans who cherish freedom, ours and everybody else's, and Americans like you, sir, to whom freedom is just a brand name, just like "Patriot Act" is a brand name or "Protect America" is a brand name.
Keith Olbermann, Countdown, 5/14/08

It only gets better (worse), depending on what glass of wine you're on now.

Bush Peels Obama's Thin Skin?

It's now being debated if President Bush's speech to the Israeli Parliament was aimed at former President Jimmy Carter, Democrat presidential candidates, or directly at the presumed Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ''Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is –- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.

We knew this would leave a mark….

An "Inside The Wire" Update

According to my sources (none of whom have ever lied to me), former executive producer/host Rick Senninger of "Outside The Wire" has informed one of the victims that he intends to get an attorney and sue myself and one other for "ruining" his business. He claims all involved with OTW have been paid and/or received clearance/consulting that they paid for.

However, based on the correspondence circulated, all have been stiffed or mislead. But let's give Mr. Senninger the benefit of the doubt. He claims everyone has been paid to date…

One investor gave Mr. Senninger a $100,000 initial investment with the promise this was simply a float until the "other" $100,000 that was secured was due in February. The investor also paid Senninger $5000-a-month for advertising. Rick had his "girlfriend" sign the promissory note. Rick wined and dined the investor at one of the fancy country clubs where he and his girlfriend (according to a Florida state investigator) were issuing bad checks.

But everyone to date has be paid.

While watching the daily talking head coverage, you'll no doubt hear many a participant say,

That's a great question.

Do they expect the host or guest to ask a dumb one?

So Democrats say they don't play the race card? Stand by…

In Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District, where voters went to the polls Tuesday in a make-or-break election for the GOP, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee distributed one flier that linked Republican candidate Greg Davis to the Ku Klux Klan and another that accused the Republicans of trying to “play politics with religion and race.”

Let's not forget who created the Klan and why. While Media Matters dances and "misleads", the facts remain. But Democrats have "grown" since then, right…?

He's got some nerve…

First, Republicans must be prepared to campaign against Democrat challengers who are running as conservatives, even as they try to join a liberal Democrat majority. Though the Democrats' task will be more difficult in a November election, the fact is they have pulled off two special election victories with this strategy, and it should be a concern to all Republicans.

The political environment is such that voters remain pessimistic about the direction of the country and the Republican Party in general. I encourage all Republican candidates, whether incumbents or challengers, to take stock of their campaigns and position themselves for challenging campaigns this fall by building the financial resources and grassroots networks that offer them the opportunity and ability to communicate, energize and turn out voters this election.
Tom Cole, National Republican Congressional Committee chairman, following recent "stunning" Capitol Hill losses

So now we have Washington Republicans reminding US how to be conservatives. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black…
