Several Points

First, let me say i thought the President performed magnificently in his interview with Bill O'Reilly. I also thought that was one of the best interviews I have ever seen O'Reilly give. While keeping to a certain parameters of political rhetoric that are necessary (despite my ideaology wanting just straight answers). Anyway, he was very.......well Bush. That's why I like him, don't necessarily agree with EVERYTHING he does, but I like him. So maybe that is the ultimate test of a candidate, likeability sprinkled with a few tax cuts and toughness!

Second, this is just absolutely ridiculous. Excuses, excuses, excuses.........

And finally two posts from the Talkmaster, Neal Boortz:

ANOTHER WHOPPER FROM THE POODLE

The Poodle has really taken a beating in the polls over his flip-flopping. One of his most often-cited gems is that when it came to funding the war in Iraq, he "actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it." This has become and absolute bonanza for the Bush campaign, who has used it to great effect. So what is The Soufflé to do?

Well, he figures it's time to respond. Time to address the issue. It's really too late...people already perceive him as a flip-flopper. So in an interview yesterday on 'Good Morning America,' Kerry was asked about his classic remark. "No, it wasn't classic at all. It just was a very inarticulate way of saying something, and I had one of those inarticulate moments late in the evening when I was dead tired in the primaries and I didn't say something very clearly." We've all had those "inarticulate moments," haven't we? Maybe people really are being too hard on The Poodle.

The only problem with his explanation is that it's not true. Kerry didn't make his stupid remark in the late evening. The lie was exposed almost immediately. As has been pointed out by the Republican National Committee and others, the now-famous remark was made at a noon appearance before a group of veterans at Marshall University. In other words, Kerry lied. Do I sense a pattern here?

When John Kerry is up against the wall, or when he is caught in a lie by the media, he just makes something up to cover his tracks. This is the second time he has done it on ABC, the first being when he said he did actually throw away his medals. This lie was exposed when those medals showed up on a wall in his Senate office. It was then that we learn that Kerry actually threw away someone else's medals.

Or, maybe it was because (as the RNC said) Kerry's watch was on Paris time (six hours ahead.) Why do you think I call him The Poodle?

• He's French
• He has a Poodle haircut
• He's a rich woman's pet
• He operates on France time (also known as Weasel Standard Time)

CBS DOES IT AGAIN

You would think that with all of the heat CBS is getting over their bogus forged-documents story, they would have the sense to not do it again. You would be wrong. Unbelievably, CBS News is once again serving their masters at the Democratic Party in a very obvious way. Here's the latest.

CBS ran a story about the possibility of the draft returning. The only problem? There is zero chance of the draft returning. The only people that have brought it up are Democrats who are trying to invent a mythical issue to bash President Bush with. Anyone who says the draft might return is lying. There will be no return of the draft. The administration, the Pentagon...all have said it clearly: no draft.

So, since they sensed and opportunity to spread a lie in order to defeat the president, CBS and Dan Rather decided to report on "draft fears," and profiled an ignorant woman (no doubt educated at a government school) who said she was worried about the draft.

In their report, CBS reporter Richard Schlesinger used discredited hoax e-mails that are circulating around the Internet. Also, the supposedly concerned mother is actually the head of an interest group called People Against the Draft. It turns out this group has leftist Democratic ties. Surprised? Me neither.

No matter what happens, CBS will never waver from its sole mission: defeat George Bush and elect John Kerry.
