No offense, but did President Bush make a clandestine stop in Amsterdam at some hashish cafe while he was visiting Europe last week?
His position on the failed amnesty for illegal aliens legislation and desire to revive the issue make me think he’s been smoking something.

A few weeks back I posted an item about Tony Blair and his soon-to-be retirement from the Prime Minister’s office in Britain. At the time I indicated that the United States would be losing a strong ally in the office at #10 Downing Street - and I still feel that way.
But after reading his […]

Occasionally I get some pretty interesting emails. This one came today from a former staffer on the Hill who still works in DC:
I was having a drink last night with a friend who works in the office of a congresswoman. Apparently the friend’s boss is in an uproar with the Speaker over this […]

I’m shocked that Nancy Pelosi completely misrepresented our country in foreign policy discussions while galavanting about the Middle East and has received no public reprimand. Sure the White House said they thought her trip was counterproductive, but how come Bush isn’t demanding a public apology?
Others agree… I like what Tom Bowler at Libertarian Leanings […]

Charles Krauthammer seems to think so…
Kind of ironic how that Iranian diplomat was suddenly released and how Iran was given access to those five “consular officials”.

Yesterday’s New York Times featured an interview with former George W. Bush campaign strategist Matthew Dowd. In the interview Dowd described his anti-Iraq war sentiment and growing disenchantment with the President and the current administration. As I read the interview, I couldn’t help but feel for Dowd.
Here’s a guy who as a Texas […]

… but maybe if they drank?
Last night’s Radio and Television Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington DC featured the president’s obligatory humorous remarks and the presentation by Bob Woodruff to Steve Senntani of the David Bloom award. The evening’s big trademark comedy act was Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood from the ABC show “Who’s Line is […]
