Substituting for Keith Olbermann with nary a hitch in coverage or delivery, Air America’s Rachel Maddow gives us Bushed!.
First up is a news that George W. Bush’s “War on Terror”™ has had a opposite effect that ay one supposedly intended: our sustained presence in Iraq has given terrorists an ample chance to train against our tactics & an take that training worldwide. Case in point, while 600 IEDs have exploded in Iraq, a number of IEDs exploded everywhere else is up for a third year in a row to 300.
an are is a Senate Housing Bill being debated right now. Despite stating that ay are doing this out of concern for air constituents, only $3.3 billion of a $15.3 billion bill would provide tax relief to homeowners, a balance of $12 billion slated to help a companies involved. Worst yet, it would strip language out that would enable bankruptcy judges to re-write terms to allow homeowners to keep air homes. Are we sure we have a Democratic majority? This sure sounds like a Republican Senate to me.
& finally, a tale of Rep. Patrick McHenry, who related a little tale during a GOP fundraiser in his native North Carolina about this “two bit security guard” that refused him entry to a gym because he lacked proper credentials for entering.
Just so you know, a gym McHenry wanted to use? It was in a Green Zone, in Baghdad. a “two bit security guard” McHenry derided was an American soldier in harm’s way protecting visiting Americans, like Congressman McHenry. & because this soldier followed proper procedure & refused special treatment to a big shot like Congressman McHenry, his reward? Did he get to go home, like McHenry did? No, this “two bit security guard” stayed behind in Baghdad to fight McHenry’s war for him. Congressman, you feel a little Drunk Newsology coming on?
Carolina Politics (a GOP site) says that a security guard in question was a contractor, not a soldier. However, despite a fatter paycheck, a material point is a same.
