Why You Gotta Lie, Tell Me Why
Carl Levin on "time horizons":
“President Bush is now apparently willing to accept what he repeatedly has told a majority in both houses of Congress was unacceptable regarding Iraq: a commitment to transition U.S. forces from combat to a limited ‘overwatch’ role, focused on training and counterterrorism operations, and a ‘time horizon’ for completing this transition. Today’s statement contrasts with the administration’s previous absolute rejection of Congressional efforts to adopt even a non-binding goal for transition of most of our troops from Iraq, accompanied by a shift of mission, to the same missions identified by the President today.
“The President’s effort to distinguish between a ‘time horizon’ and a ‘time table’ to accomplish that goal falls flat.”

Did you see the board this weekend?
This right wing troll abubenadom or something like that was on. I think it's another one of hateys but I'm not sure. I'm sure about several of his but I haven't seen enough of that one.
Anyway here is the funny part. He starts listing one post at a time the Keating 5 members. He would post #1 and list one of the members. Then an hour later he would do the next.
At number three I asked him what he was doing because we all know it was 4 dems and one reperve who happens to be McCain. I said party doesn't matter to us. We're not sycophants like the right wingers are. We'll call out corruption when we see it.
So with each post so far he puts a line below the name the words "Fair and Balanced". After my response he gives the fourth name and says "Fair and Balanced fu" like he's chastising me even though I acknowledged there were four dems.
And that was his last post. He stopped at 4 and never mentioned McCain in his little presentation.
I guess that is "fair and balanced" to a right winger.
