Charlie Rose interviews former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan tonight. Was funny watching Charlie Rose spending 10 minutes trying to get Greenspan to say that Rumsfeld and Cheney were idiots. No headlines on that one. Sorry Charlie!
He correctly explained the difference between the media’s slant on his words about oil and Iraq and his own. Now Charlie understands it, as much as it appeared to hurt.
Iranian President Mahmood Ahmadinejad is coming to the United States to pal around with the hemisphere’s idiot, Venezuelan President 
Hugo Chavez, and he also wants to visit ground zero. His request was denied, but he is apparently intending to go anyway with the Secret Service security detail normally assigned to visiting diplomats.
Nate Harris at Conservative Compendium has a novel idea.
I would like to be the first to suggest that Mahmoud be able to give a speech overlooking the pits where the WTC once stood, complete with holocaust denying, gloating, baiting, and admonishing of the USA. As soon as he’s done, give him the grand tour of american locales associated with terrorism and arrest him for questioning for his part in hostage taking in Iran in 1979.
To her credit, New York Senator Hillary Clinton doesn’t think he should be going there either. Am anxious to hear her remarks after he and Chavez get done with their Bash Bush tour at the United Nations, otherwise known as the Useless Nations . No need to question her patriotism, just listen to what she has to say about it after it occurs. That should suffice.
Congress is poised to land a one-two punch to Bush and the country. Perhaps counting on Congress renewing the tax cuts that were put in place in 2001 and 2003, those are the ones that have brought record revenues to the government and created over 3 million jobs, was being overly optimistic on how Democrats in Washington would act when they set to expire January 1, 2011.
Next, and more prescient is the NSA warrantless wiretapping program for terrorists and suspected terrorists. It is set to expire in February 2008.
President Bush today called on Congress to make permanent a law that gives the government broad authority to eavesdrop without warrants on phone calls, e-mail and other communication between people in the United States and suspected terrorists abroad.
The president wants Congress to extend the law, set to expire in February, that allows spy agencies to intercept the communications of suspected terrorists that pass through U.S. switching facilities.
All Congress has to do, led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, is sit on their hands and they will get everything they wished for. Raise taxes and disengage from the war on terror. They are campaigning on losing the war now, so for them it is a win win situation.
You know it was a matter of when, not if, Jesse Jackson would find a way to play the race card. Just to show that it is possible for politics to cross racial lines, they are both thought to be black, Jesse Jackson is saying that Barack Obama is acting white over the ‘Jena six’ incident. Jackson says the obvious, “If I were a candidate, I’d be all over Jena.” Presumably, Obama is acting white because he isn’t “all over” it?
While Jesse Jackson keeps digging, so does congress.

Becoming restless and confident at the same time, the hemisphere’s idiot, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, doesn’t like an educational system that doesn’t push his socialist agenda. He thinks it is best to nationalize them if they don’t shape the children into good socialists. The capitalist ideas being taught must be eliminated, according to Chavez.
But one college-level syllabus obtained by The Associated Press shows some premedical students already have a recommended reading list including Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital” and Fidel Castro’s speeches, alongside traditional subjects like biology and chemistry.
The syllabus also includes quotations from Chavez and urges students to learn about slain revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara and Colombian rebel chief Manuel Marulanda, whose leftist guerrillas are considered a terrorist group by Colombia, the U.S. and European Union.
Real critical thinkers, like Gabriel Gomez Guerrero, 22, of Colombia and others who are dropping out of his university had this to say about Chavez’s educational plan.
About 20 of the 400 foreign pre-med students have dropped out of the Latin American Medical School near Caracas. Among them was Gabriel Gomez Guerrero, 22, of Colombia, who was shocked that the syllabus counts Marulanda among “important Latin American thinkers” to be studied. The head of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia is his government’s public enemy No. 1. “They aren’t going to introduce that man to me as a ‘Latin American thinker,'” Gomez said. “They may brainwash other people, but not me.”

During the testimony from General Petraeus, not one Democrat asked, ‘What can we do to help you, the troops, and the war effort?’
What do you think Democrats put higher, their country or their political party, when you know that “During the testimony from General Petraeus, not one Democrat asked, ‘What can we do to help you, the troops, and the war effort?”’ Not one.
Do you think the mainstream media simply didn’t notice? There is no good answer to that one.

We’ve heard the Democrats’ prebuttal and rebuttal to the President’s briefing of the nation on the way forward in Iraq. But you may not have heard the Rebuttal to the Rebuttal. It addresses every point that Jack Reid made in his rebuttal to Bush’s address to the nation, and does it well.
It should help in lowering your blood pressure a few points from last week. And hats of to TXPoet for doing the really hard work of actually listening to Reid’s entire speech. I only lasted about a minute before I turned the channel. For the younger audience, its what you do when you grab the remote and push a number.
