• From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE…

  Left jab:

  We can’t even get a straight story on how our troops die.

  Last week, the Pentagon first reported that four Americans were killed in Iraq while repelling an enemy attack. Then on Friday [after reporters debunked the Pentagon story] we were told they had actually been kidnapped during a shootout and executed, two of them handcuffed and shot in the head. […]

  The government argues that public criticism hurts the war effort, but it is being damaged much more by its own loss of credibility brought on by such incidents. [See also Tillman, Pat and Buryj, Jess –BiPM]

  Truth is the foundation of democracy and Americans can handle the truth—they demand it. History shows that when they fail to get it, they no longer follow their leaders, no matter the cause. They are more likely to just change leaders.
  —Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation

  Right hook:

  [M]ore than half the country (58 percent) say they wish the Bush presidency were simply over, a sentiment that is almost unanimous among Democrats (86 percent), and is shared by a clear majority (59 percent) of independents and even one in five (21 percent) Republicans. Half (49 percent) of all registered voters would rather see a Democrat elected president in 2008, compared to just 28 percent who’d prefer the GOP to remain in the White House.
  —Newsweek

  How’s that canvas taste, Goopers?

  Cheers and Jeers starts in There’s Moreville… [Swoosh!!] RIGHTNOW! [Gong!!]
