well we have an election to replace ole Dirty Duke Cunningham. 11 Republicans trying to fill his shoes. None of the 11 even remotely trying to align itself with the Presidency of late. All saying we're reform Republicans (though 1 is a Former Lobbyist). So finally one does a little news piece supportting the war. went over there to see for himself. So in his piece he's sitting there slamming the Libs saying "They never talk about what good is happening over here" while sitting in a cafe where business is going on, Arabs carrying on peacefully, all is looking hunky dory. Only 1 minor problem, the sign behind him is in Turkish, the girlwalking behind him in a TANK TOP is clearly not how they dress in Shi'a run areas. HE'S IN FRICKIN TURKEY!!!!!!
what a liar, he 's gotta be the frontrunner, I'm sure Rove already sent hiom some$$$$$

What an @sshole... Washington attracts the scumbags like flypaper. Is there even one candidate from another party? Will any of the other Republican candidates even call him on it? Has anyone in the local press called him out on that? Please tell me yes...

is the only Dem. She's doing well.Hopefully the 11 Cons split the vote, she gets 51 percent and then there's no 2 candidate run off. If she winds up taking this district it will be a bad omen for the Cons. This is a rich, white and uptight district.

Very disturbing... Has she taken a public position on the fallacy of the Kaloogian piece? I see it's been nailed in the blogosphere but what about in the local mainstream media?

The Kaloogian story just played on NPR. I'm so glad.

Busted. It's pretty funny. If it's Tuesday it must be Bagdad or umm, is it Wednesday and we're in Istambul. :confused: Jet lag got the better of him, eh?

I like his new picture of how safe bagdad is. Shot from a hill top far away. If only I felt that safe :p

that somehow got 'mixed up' with the one posted. clearly he has no 'street scenes'. what is the most ironic was this was posted in a blast about the media 'fitting news to their agenda'. Oh and he's taking some heat for using troops (who were protecting his convoy) as support for his 'candidacy announcement' on the road from Baghdad to Kuwait.

he's a bushie through and through. glad to know the cons are cleaning up their act to replace the dirtiest congressman in US History.
