Reporters Handled Secrecy Around Bush's Iraq Trip |
British begin pulling out of Iraq, and Team Bush grumbles |
Blair "talks peace" after leaving office. Bush said when he leaves office he's going to "fill his coffers" by making speeches. I wonder what he'll speechify about?
"Several prominent Republicans are calling on Sen. Larry Craig to resign. And a
couple are asking for his phone number." --David Letterman

Now, of course, the Republicans have completely turned on Larry Craig. As Jesus would. And they’re all – they’re all after him. John McCain has called for him to step down. Mitt Romney has called for him to step down. Mark Foley has just called him. - Bill Maher

Karl Rove Update
President Bush's behind-the-curtain adviser, Karl Rove, is expected to reprise that role for the prez in Texas, we hear. Now retired from the White House, Rove is planning to take charge of the Bush library and museum, including the design, fundraising, and planning for what insiders are calling a copy of the conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
"A couple of pranksters covered Karl Rove's car in bumper stickers that read, "I Love Obama." Karl Rove laughed about it then had the pranksters murdered." --Conan O'Brien

Swift Boat Veterans Update
Lawyers behind a
California ballot proposal that could benefit the 2008 Republican presidential
nominee have ties to a Texas homebuilder who financed attacks on Democrat John
Kerry's Vietnam War record in the 2004 presidential campaign.
Charles H. Bell and Thomas Hiltachk's law firm banked nearly $65,000 in fees
from a California-based political committee funded almost solely by Bob J. Perry
that targeted Democrats in 2006. Perry, a major Republican donor,
contributed nearly $4.5
million to the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that made unsubstantiated but
damaging attacks on Kerry three years ago.
The Bush administration is facing the same dilemma in Iraq that Larry Craig faced at the Minneapolis men's room. It's a lot easier to go in than to come out. - Argus Hamilton, comedian
They're Baaaaack!
Congress
returns from its summer recess today, still split along partisan lines about
whether there's progress in Iraq and which policy would best protect U.S.
security interests.

Offshore wind farms are likely to appear more and more frequently off European coastlines as governments seek to increase their use of renewable energy without angering their citizens by placing giant turbines on their doorsteps.
