It’s Wednesday, time for another dollop of political snark and information:
- Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf stepped down from his position as army chief today…(Riiiiiight… I’m sure he did…I’m sure he won’t have any control of the army now, uh-huh…)
- The gop presidential candidates have their YouTube debate tonight. I advise you watch, as I’m sure it’s going to be a good show, especially since all of them will be attacking each other and not the Democrats…
- Either there’s been some true and significant progress or it’s spin from the White House, but the Israelis and the Palestinians have agreed on a framework for peace talks… that’s great news, but for the White House to say that Bush is responsible is spin and not fact. What exactly did Bush do besides butchering names in an address?? If he actually did something, fine, let’s hear what he did… but if all you’re going to say is that Bush is the driving force behind the compromise; I ain’t buying it…
- Is it possible that some republican senators are growing some balls regarding Iraq???
- At the same time the republican presidential candidates are starting to get more aggressive with their party-opponents, the Democrats are doing the same. Primarily the war of words has been between Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama, but I have a feeling it will soon encompass all of the candidates… except Mike Gravel… who I think is still in the race…
- And have we mentioned? That “President” Bush is still WAY unpopular? It’s true; a new Pew Research poll shows Bush’s popularity at 30% (his previous low in this poll was 33% a few months ago) and, regardless of a gradual lessening of violence in Iraq, the American public remains “committed to bringing U.S. troops home.”
