boy, those CNN guys....

now playing: nik everett, "all that i hide away"



so...you know that little idiot tucker carlson, right? you know...the guy with the bowtie and the icy cold stare of a serial killer? the guy who lovingly plays the role of fraternity fucktoy to robert novak on crossfire?

(as an added aside, is it just me or does novak look more and more like j. edgar hoover with each passing day? i know, i know...i digress...)

anyway, it appears that carlson isn't the "bush-can-do-no-wrong"er that i thought he was.

courtesy of daily kos:

"... The attacks initially made me sorry I voted for him. For most of that day, as my wife and children stayed inside our house listening to the roar of fighter jets overhead, and black smoke from the Pentagon hovered above our neighborhood, Bush failed to return to Washington. My family sat unprotected a few miles from the scene of a terrorist attack; Bush hid in a bunker on some faraway military base.

It infuriated me, as did the subsequent excuses from White House spokesman. There was a risk in coming back, they said. There was a risk in coming back, they said. Of course there was. That's the point: Leaders must take risks, sometimes physical ones. Bush should have elbowed his Secret Service detail out of the way and returned in a display of fearlessness to his nation's capital. I found it distressingly revealing that he didn't."



maaaaan....tucker's gonna get a spanking if he keeps talkin' like that.




speaking of CNN anchors, if you needed another reason to think that daryn kagan was a wingnut skank, here it is.


it'll be interesting to see how much steam the ben barnes story or the whole iran-contra sequel will pick up this week.


today's "quote of the day" in my daily new york times email:

"We absolutely need to invoke Sept. 11 in the convention. This election will determine how we fight a war on terror that began right here in this city."
Richard Aguilar, convention delegate



fool me once, shame on...fool me...won't get fooled again.
