The best bit about the Andy Rooney calling Mel Gibson a ‘wacko’ bit is the last couple paragraphs in this article.

Rooney, 85, noted that many of his critics took shots at his age. Even Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly said he was too old.

“That wasn’t nice, Bill,” he said. “I didn’t get old on purpose. It just happened. If you’re lucky, it could happen to you.”

The House Resources Commitee’s lead Headline News article is a very thinly veiled attack on John Kerry’s energy policies.

At a time when economists cite jobs and rising energy prices as the only threats to an otherwise burgeoning economy, Senator Kerry’s comments appear completely out of touch with basic economics. It is widely held that energy is the lifeblood of the economy, yet this Senator seems opposed to cheaper, more abundant supplies of energy to strengthen the economy.

“If John Kerry spent as much time at the job he was elected to do as he does on the campaign trail, he might have noticed the recent Resources Committee hearing on the loss of American jobs due to our reliance on foreign energy,” said Rep. Barbara Cubin, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and Minerals. “The American people deserve a president who isn’t a hostage to the radical environmental community and who knows that what’s hurting us is red tape and frivolous environmental litigation – not American oil.”

If the GOP wants to make a big deal out of Kerry’s oil policy, they should — although admitting to Americans that more oil is what this country needs is a dangerous stance to take. However, using tax payer funded websites to spread propaganda is so-many-ways shady.

p.s. Let’s see if they have the balls to leave this up on their site as word spreads.

Today’s “Anyone But Bush NOTD” highlight’s Bush’s gender issues.

“Earlier today, the Libyan government released Fathi Jahmi. She’s a local government official who was imprisoned in 2002 for advocating free speech and democracy,” the president said in a speech [ paying tribute to women reformers ] at the White House on Friday.

The only problem was that, by all other accounts, “she” is in fact “he”.

More accurately: this highlights Bush’s intel issues, but that’s not as funny. This is just another incident in a pattern of shoddy research on the part of the Bush team.
