Quick Truths

Condi Rice not only “augmented” her legacy of lies yesterday in the Senate, but even Republicans can no longer deny how utterly incompetent she is at her job. She also got busted declaring her love for all things Fox.

Following Bush’s escalation speech, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee pounded Condi, Maliki canceled press appearances, and the freak GOP leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, threatened a filibuster on any escalation resolution.

Bush’s backdoor draft of National Guard troops gets uglier and bloodier as the Pentagon scraps the time limits on how long they can keep citizen soldiers on active duty.

The US Embassy in Greece has been hit by a small rocket (no injuries) and is suspected to be an act of domestic terrorism. Law enforcement is investigating. Man, how many enemies has Bush collected?

House Dems pass a stem cell research bill. Today they take on the big pharmaceutical companies.

And Lieberman abandons Katrina survivors in order to cozy up to Chimpy even more. Geez…
