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.”

I guess that is "fair and balanced" to a right winger.
No, I didn't check the board this weekend but isn't that always the case, though? Especially with that moron, hateallthetime? Repugs have that cherry-picking thing down to a science. The sad part is is that when we rightfully acknowledge that the democratic leadership sucks, or rightfully demand that a corrupt dem say "bye-bye", they glaze over it and accuse us of hypocrisy, completely ignoring the fact that while they may make pathetic excuses for the Repugs, we call our elected officials on it.
It's just another tactic they use in their weak attempts at goading us into one of their infernal and nonsensical pissing matches. When they see they're losing the match, they bring up the distraction tactic. And they wonder why we laugh at them and rightfully call them what they are, uneducated hypocrites.
