- Countdown did a piece on Frank Rich's column in the Times this past Sunday which blasted McCain's "stupid" economics. (His words, not mine, nor Keith Olbermann's, but that's not to say we don't agree).
- As reported here, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki effectively endorsed Obama's plan for the Iraq war. Upon hearing this, the Bush administration (with the McCain campaign close behind) cried "lost in translation!" and claimed it was all in error...except, as Hardball today reported, that the translator was the Prime Minister's personal translator and, according to the New York Times' review, there was no error.
- Rachel Maddow, also on Countdown, cited another Times report which revealed that President Bush has appointed his daughter's ex-boyfriend, a college dropout whose previous jobs included holding the President's coat and retrieving Sharpie pens for White House board meetings, to be his new Deputy Chief of Staff. Just in case this wasn't already all too clear, the "best and brightest" (as President Kennedy referred to his cabinet and closest advisers) have not and will never advise the current President, unquestionably the least competetant in the past hundred years.
- T. Boone Pickens continues his campaign to steal the environment for the GOP, appearing about once every eight minutes on MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN between two and six, pacific time. Yes, I counted.

I think it is great that someone is paying attention to the important issues of the day. most of us cannot take in all the media of the day, but it is great to have these summaries--the blogger has inciteful and well supported comments which would be quite funny if the truths he spotlights were not so serious.
