The London "bomb scare" is looking more and more like amateur hour. These were not car bombs, but more like giant Molotov cocktails. This isn't Hollywood people; cars do not explode, even if filled with barrels of gasoline with nails in them.
Yet the blowhards on the right are on the T.V., breathlessly telling us there could have been "significant loss of life, blah blah blah." At this point I think most Americans realize they're just trying to scare us.
Giuliani was on the T.V. last week telling us 9/11 was Clinton's fault (isn't everything?) and that liberals are weak on terrorism because they want to treat it like a police action instead of a "war." Note to Republicans: this doesn't work anymore. Find something new to lie about.
Now that Lewis "Scooter" Libby has exhausted his appeals, expect the Republican noise machine to go into overdrive as Limbaugh et al decry that Libby is going to prison for "a minor offense for which no underlying crime was found." Funny, they didn't think Bill Clinton's perjury and obstruction were so minor.
Of course, look at the "underlying crime" in each case. Clinton was lying to cover up the fact he was getting a hummer from someone not his wife. Libby was lying to cover up the outing of a CIA operative who worked on nuclear nonproliferation. Yeah, now I think I see the difference.
Mark my words: by next spring Bush will declare victory and bring our boys and girls home, depriving the Democratic nominee of his or her best issue. The Dems better get busy talking about energy independence, health care and the environment or they'll be seen as out of touch.
Is it just me, or is Paris Hilton on the cover of every magazine in existence? If she shows up on the cover of The Nation I'm going to run screaming into the night -- right after I cancel my subscription.
