The Bush Dog that Did Not Bark

It’s always hardest to see what is not there, what’s not been done that could have. One thing I realised today is that unlike Clinton, there have been no reports of large numbers of last minute pardons, particularly of Bush’s own administration. Some on the right were calling for Bush to pardon his people for…

Eroding Civil Liberties – Bush vs. Dems

Patterico suggests that Obama is appointing the wrong people if he really wants to uphold civil liberties. Last month, Barack Obama announced the appointment of former Clinton Deputy AG Eric Holder to serve as his Attorney General. Harvey Silverglate, a Boston-based criminal defense and civil liberties lawyer, notes that Holder authored the Holder Memorandum in…

Reporter Throws Shoes at Bush

So some reporter threw his shoes at Bush. It’s a little know fact that the same reporter threw his shoes at Saddam, and was immediatly taken out and shot… or not. One could take the view that that Iraq is a failure – and there was a failure to protect innocent people, which is this…

Small Town

It’s been said that being George W Bush over the last 7 years is like being a man in a small town who picks up his local paper in the morning. He reads from the headline the accusation that he is a rapist. Reading the article however, cases a completely different light and in fact…

Bush too fit, Obama in fantastic shape

I get it that the media hate Bush. He talks funny and doesn’t conform, then he went out and fought some wars. But the level of pettiness that some reporters show is pretty pathetic, especially put up against reporting his replacement. In Old Medialand, all it takes for a personal habit — in this case,…

When Liberal Talking Points Collide with Reality

Heh, this is funny. I’ll let Newsbusters do all the commentary. On Tuesday’s The O’Reilly Factor, FNC host Bill O’Reilly showed clips from the Kalb Report show in which moderator Marvin Kalb, a veteran of both CBS and NBC News, interviewed O’Reilly. During the interview, which was recorded on September 27, O’Reilly managed to embarrass…

Bush is still in power, still the target

How low can the media go? Well, when he congratulated Obama on his victory, one outfit said he “wanted to bask in the reflected glory of the history that was made…just like John McCain did last night” As NewsBusters says… Clearly, Bush and McCain are more gracious in defeat that NBC and Chuck Todd are in…

Another Bush Failure

Sigh. What is it about George W. Bush’s face that makes him so hard to capture in a caricature? Murray Webb’s are the best, but again, he just fails to get a good likeness of the great man. It’s certainly a better effort than most, but I don’t think his face is that flat, and…

Investigate Acorn

Heh, this would be a very good idea for Bush to follow up on. Americans for Limited Government today announced the launching of a new nationwide campaign, StopAcorn.org, urging President Bush to investigate allegations of serious wrongdoing by the left-wing community action organization ACORN. “With the launching of StopAcorn.org, and a massive outreach efforts to…

Disappeared on the way to Church (with Bush)

The Chinese government is not letting the Olympics, or the presence of President Bush get in the way of their ongoing persecution of the Chinese church. This morning, Brother Hua Huiqi successfully got rid of the police placed on his surveillance and met with his brother Hua Huilin.  Then, they rode bikes and were bound…
