The Thursday ‘BushWhack’ing

Another day closer to not only the end of the week, but the end of the month; where did November go?

• The gop presidential candidates staged their YouTube debate last night and, not surprisingly, it was a slug-fest between Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani… with a good dose of attacks towards Fred Thompson, Ron Paul and even Mike Huckabee thrown in for good measure…
• Things are getting a tad ridiculous… rumors are swirling around the internets that say Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is a “Muslim plant” and part of a conspiracy against America… wow, and I thought the accusations of Nancy Reagan using a Ouija board were surreal; this beats it…
• Earlier this week, former President Bill Clinton mentioned that he was against the Iraq war from the start… apparently confused as to which Clinton is running for president, this has caused conservatives to question his claims… (Last time I checked, Hillary was running for President, and not Bill; so this is news… why??)
• Sen. Chuck Hagel (r-NE) addressed the Council on Foreign Relations yesterday and said of the Bush White House; “I have to say this is one of the most arrogant, incompetent administrations I’ve ever seen or ever read about…” (I’m gonna say ouch for the administration. You know things are REALLY BAD when politicians within your own party start saying things like that…)
• And have we mentioned? That gop presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani expensed his affairs to the taxpayers of New York City? According to the Politico's Ben Smith, Giuliani “billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons…” (Nice… for a party that supposedly places family values on such a pedestal, isn’t it a wonder that one of the frontrunners for their nomination acted in such a way. If this was Bill Clinton, the republicans would have been like the villagers with Frankenstein’s monster, pitchforks and torches at the ready…)
