Scott McClellan on Ted Kennedy’s reaction to Bush’s LONG OVERDUE speech today:
It is also regrettable that Senator Kennedy has found more time to say negative things about President Bush than he ever did about Saddam Hussein.
More, MUCH more of this please. (h/t Right Rainbow)
It is well past time the administration started kicking ass and taking names.
Am I only only one that thinks all the conservative opposition to Harriet Miers is born from a desire for a SCOTUS Justice that will uphold their personal beliefs?
Looks like the Sheehan side of Cindy Sheehan’s family is none too happy about Cindy’s “crusade.” They wrote a note to Melanie Morgan (local KSFO radio morning host here in the Bay Area) explaining their position and taking issue with Cindy:
Hello again Melanie,Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish. Thanks – Cherie
In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue:
Sheehan Family Statement:
The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son’s good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.
Sincerely,
Casey Sheehan’s grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
Casey Sheehan was an American patriot that voluntarily served his country. Not only did he serve in Iraq with honor, but he re-upped to serve again. His mother is all-to-willingly playing the role the leftists that hate this country have carved out for her and, in the process, she is dishonoring the great sacrifice her son made for his country and she is dishonoring his memory.
Shame on you, Cindy Sheehan. I imagine your son would be deeply disappointed in your selfishness and in you.
I am sure that Scott McClellan is a really nice guy – and that is the problem.
Read the transcript here. He just doesn’t have the ability to verbally slap the press when they need it.
Now pardon me – I need to take a shower to get rid of that dirty feeling I have after having linked to anything written by Oliver Willis.
Where our level of tolerance and diversity is only exceeded by our love of country.

It looks like Microsoft is playing around with a web-based RSS aggregator. Click the Show link on that page to give it a spin.
The design is really simplistic but it works great. The only drawback so far is that you have to put the actual URL of the RSS feed in. I tried several blogs with just the blog’s URL and no dice, although, it did say something about “Checking for AutoDiscovery Tag” so that may be in the works.
Finally! A state with some good sense on illegal aliens and driver’s licenses. They have decided to replace them with driving privilege cards – that are only good for driving and cannot be used as legal identification to board airplanes or register to vote.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Gov. Jon Huntsman on Tuesday signed a bill replacing regular Utah driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants with driving privilege cards that can’t be used as official identification to board airplanes or register to vote.The move comes a day after hundreds of demonstrators gathered to protest the bill, arguing that the cards amount to second-class status for minorities.
The driving privilege card must be renewed annually. Undocumented immigrants must surrender their driver’s licenses on their birthdays or on July 1, whichever is sooner.
Huntsman spokeswoman Tammy Kikuchi said the governor has been “pretty strong, from the beginning, in support of this bill” and was undeterred by opposition in the minority community.
The bill’s Republican sponsor, Sen. Curtis Bramble, said the measure was a compromise, because it still allowed undocumented immigrants to drive.
“I don’t believe that it’s the role of the State of Utah to provide documentation or some type of ID so that someone who is illegal can travel with impunity,” Bramble said.
This is the first bit of common sense legislation on this issue – I hope it is not the last.
3-11 was a horrific event. Although Spain’s response will likely be judged harshly by history, take a moment today to remember the lives lost and fortify your resolve to keep fighting terrorism – not appease it.
