the mercy of bullies

* cheney has heart problems (insert requisite joke). arianna has the details. "So many questions...so little leveling with the American people... Remember, it's not the EKG, it's the cover-up."

* "The good news for President Bush: A poll last week found massive enthusiasm for him and his policies.
The bad news: The poll was of Israelis." LINK

* via corrente, heres blinky: "[No] human being aspires to live at the mercy of bullies."

* heres billmon on negotiating with terrorists, (nee, "talking to iraqis"): "That's why I think this story has the potential to develop into a PR debacle that dwarfs Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and the Downing Street memos put together." (this was before the sunday tv shows when he didnt think the story would get any coverage - here he is discussing the mo'wellian spin *after* the sunday shows)

* rummy joins in the dictionary game:
"SEC'Y RUMSFELD: Is it in its last throes? The last throes could be violence, as you well know from a dictionary standpoint. I think the way to think of it is that the insurgents are foreigners in some significant number. They are attacking Iraqis and killing them..." LINK
how long till these guys get fragged?
