Is President Bush one of Bill Clinton’s “finest students” (see the previous post)?
Just yesterday, R. Emmett Tyrell informed us that Rafael Palmeiro learned how to be a lyin’, steroid-poppin’ hypocrite from watching the example set by Liar-In-Chief Bill Clinton; now I see that President Bush is helping Rafael out by vouching for him:

Via Pandagon, this is possibly the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen R. Emmett Tyrell write:
[Rafael] Palmeiro flunked a drug test sometime in recent months, though he continued to thrill his Baltimore Orioles fans before his positive test for steroids was made public. On July 15, fans and teammates celebrated his 3,000th hit with gaudy fanfare. [...]

Both sides are pissed at the New York Times today.
From the right, Captain Ed is angry at a report that appeared on Drudge which claims the Times is “looking into the adoption records of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts”:

The best thing about working late is getting to listen to the lunatic ravings of Michael Savage on the radio on my way home. Tonight he had some guest, whose name I didn’t catch, who was telling Savage all about the perfidy and evil of Saudi Arabia. The guest made a mistake, though, [...]

Pity Charles Krauthammer. The poor man hasn’t had a glass of wingnut Kool-Aid in weeks, such is the unslakable thirst of David Horowitz. Look at this entry from “David’s Blog”:

Via Digby, a nice remark from a Republican National Congressional Committee spokesman:
What prompted the committee’s entry into the Schmidt-Hackett race was a comment made by [Dem candidate] Hackett in a USA Today article published Thursday. Hackett, talking about his service as a marine in Iraq, is quoted as saying, “I’ve said I don’t like the [...]
