The premise that war in Iraq was justified because Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction is especially galling because we knew well ahead of time that no such weapons existed.

President Bush is still fighting for the noble cause of not giving kids health care. Apparently, he believes that supplying health care to children of families that can't afford it is "really a trick."

President Bush has succeeded in once again hijacking a debate's news cycle. Following his most recent snit in front of the press going on about how he thinks Congress has gotten little done (a speech which Speaker Pelosi absolutely eviscerated — if you didn't see that, Keith Olbermann's Countdown has the video), the administration has decided that since Congress clearly isn't giving him his way, he's simply better off ruling by administrative order.

Another debate, another Texas Blue LiveBlog! Today's MSNBC debate is interesting for a number of reasons, not the least of which is a rumbling that Obama's going to be coming out swinging.

The primary schedule is starting to get pretty ugly. On the heels of New Hampshire's hinting at a December primary as we mentioned yesterday, the Iowa GOP has set the firm date for their caucus at January 3rd, and South Carolina Democrats want to move their primary to the 26th.

Complaints about Blackwater don't seem to have fallen on deaf ears — but they do seem to have fallen on ears that miss the point.
