Tony Snow, Liar
From today's WH press briefing:
Q ... What would your guidance be to a public that has seen the President stand under a "Mission Accomplished" banner, proclaim an end to major combat operations, the Vice President talking about the "last throes" -- how should the public go into viewing this speech tomorrow?
MR. SNOW: I think the public ought to just listen to what the President has to say. You know that the "Mission Accomplished" banner was put up by members of the USS Abraham Lincoln. ...
Horseshit! The White House spokesbot at the time, Scott McClellan said, "We took care of the production of it ... We have people to do those things. But the Navy actually put it up."
That was -- surprise, surprise -- a lie.
Reported Time: "The soldiers hadn't put up the sign; the White House had done the hoisting. It had also produced the banner — contrary to what senior White House officials had said for months."

Ace is Sort of a Pussy
Ace blames the NYC gas leak on "damn Chelsea homos" writes, "the possibility that this has a brown-person origin just made me create my own noxious odors."
No doubt Ace thinks this racist, homophobic crap is the cat's meow. He ought to take the sage advice of Atrios: Stay Away From Teh Funny, Wingnuts.
PS: Ace? That smell is probably your tongue, which, recently dislodged from Malkin's taint, is rather rank.

Lament of an Unemployed Screenwriter
Sez Roger Simon:
It’s no accident the Godfather films were written by Italians Mario Puzo and Francis Coppola. A Jewish screenwriter, Eric Roth, who has no personal experience of intelligence work that I know of, wrote The Good Shepherd.
And a Slav wrote Breaking Away, a lesbian directed Home for the Holidays, and a whitey directed Beloved -- so his point is, what, exactly? The point, dear reader(s), is that Roth is actually a working screenwriter -- not on wingnut welfare -- and doesn't have to resort to writing things like
I am the author of eight mystery novels and at least loosely up-to-speed on the history of US intelligence and I couldn’t always understand the plot.
There but for the grace of God goes he!

We Reject the Notion that Wingnuts are Bipeds
From John McCain's interview with Bill Bennett:
JM: But we’ve got to have more troops there, we’ve got to have them…the present situation is getting worse, not better. And when you’re fighting an insurgency, and you are not winning, but you’re not losing, you’re going to end up losing, my friend.
BB: Pretty good lesson from the Ethiopians last week, isn’t it?
JM: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah, but they’re probably going to have a political and economic solution.
BB: But they established a pretty good necessary condition, didn’t they?
JM: Exactly. But look, I understand the anger, I understand the frustration.
BB: Yeah.
JM: I reject the notion that all Americans, or the majority of Americans just want us out of Iraq. Joe Lieberman would not have been re-elected in a very liberal state if that were the case.
UPDATE: Mr. Greenwald tackled this yesterday. Foiled again!

Chance of Blogging Today: Hmmm, Pretty Fucking Low
For, you see, our Lord & Master TS is bedridden with a cold -- and a hacking cough that might wake his brand-spanking new neighbors.We suspect he'll spend all day delirious, drinking fruity teas with honey, pretentiously rereading an anthology of ancient Chinese love poems. (He believes that this, in combination with his smooth talking ways, will get him laid this weekend. If he recovers.)
If you'd like to send beloved TS a get-well note -- or, as Bill Quick would prefer, a fuck-you note -- e-mail him at misterbones at gmail dot com.
(OK, Smart Guy: our Lord & Master won't be here, either. All bases covered!)
PS: Why won't Maggie Trudeau keep her panties on?
