POPSMcCain Decides to Punish Larry King Over CNN Interview What a petty, angry little man John McCain is. Nothing happened in the interview that required retribution. He just didn't like anyone pulling off the mask on his awful vice presidential pick. The "punishment" is a shot over the bow to the press warning them to back off asking difficult questions. Sadly, the press probably will back off. Who wants to risk losing future interviews and exclusives? It's bad for business.

POPSMcCain: I Know How to Capture Bin Laden Really, well then, lets go John, let's get that bastard! You did tell the Preznit how to do it, right? And SOCOM and Central Command. I mean I am sure they would want to know, or are you keeping them out of the loop John?

POPSMcCain: "We were greeted as liberators" in Iraq Eeyow! Bad enough that neocons' judgment was so poor as to predict we would be greeted as liberators (I believe it was Wolfowitz), here's McCain "remembering" that we supposedly WERE greeted as liberators in Iraq. No wonder we keep getting into these wars! Don't you dare, McCain-ites, don't you dare try to spin this into truth! Also, McCain says Obama has "a pretty good timetable" on Friday, then denies he used the word "timetable" on Sunday. What's happening here?

POPSObama's Supreme U-Turns The Supreme Court also looked at a Louisiana law extending the death penalty to the rape of a child. In another 5-to-4 decision, the Court ruled the Constitution doesn’t permit capital punishment for raping a child. The majority opinion argued the death penalty for that crime “poses risks of over-punishment.” Senator Obama criticized the decision: “I think that the rape of a small child, 6 or 8 years old, is a heinous crime and if a state makes a decision that under narrow, limited, well-defined circumstances the death penalty is at least potentially applicable, that that does not violate our Constitution.” Like many Americans, I agree with that. The problem is that Justices Ginsburg, Breyer and Souter don’t. All of them voted to overturn the death penalty for child rapists.

POPSU.S. Ambassador Cites Positive Changes In Iraq
The enemy may be pushing back, the Iraqi government’s response displays intolerance for these acts and a determination to reclaim their neighborhoods from the perpetrators, the ambassador said. Leadership response to a June 24 attack in Sadr City aimed at district council members is a prime example. On June 26, the council reconvened to hold the election that had been scheduled for the day of the attack and elected one of the members who had been wounded as its new chairman. It then denounced the attackers, publicly thanked the United States for its support, and extended sympathy to those affected by the attack, Crocker said. “We’ve got more hard work in front of us,” he said. “The fighting is by no means over, but clearly we are in a different and better place than we were even six months ago.” Though work remains to be completed in Iraq, Crocker said, he is certain the climate is in place for Iraqis to build their country on all fronts -- security, political and economic.

POPSClinton, Obama Debate Focused On Issues Did anyone else watch the 2nd half of the LA debates in the Kodak theatre? I was so impressed with Hillary! And it really drove home how much I DO NOT like Wolf Blitzer. He is short (sorry short people, I'm being sarcastic), he seems to have a particular disdain for some women and he is overbearing and obnoxious. You were booed several times by the crowd and you deserved it Wolf!

POPSRomney: It's not torture unless you admit it Mitt Romney apparently has not strength of character. He insists that if the president says a particular interrogation is not torture, then it is NOT torture, no matter what international law might stipulate. He uses the Jack Bauer theory of necessary torture, which indicates to me that as president he will be spending much too much time watching TV instead of governing the country. Perhaps he can make Keifer Sutherland the Director of Homeland Security.

POPSBhutto sent Blitzer Security Email Only to be released if she was killed. Bhutto wasn't worried about al Qaeda. She could feel Musharraf breathing down her neck. I'm sure Musharraf resigned as leader of the army only after he was confident that he could win the election. A thorn by any other name is still a thorn. Bhutto was an unpredictable complication. BUT. They knew who committed the crime before it was committed. Ironic that she was on Stage. The more I see the actions of the 'leaders' today the more I'm reminded of Lady Macbeth. "Out Damned Spot" she wailed as she tried to wash the blood off her hands. The blood will never be washed off. The halls of power are becoming Stately mausoleums. "Whitewashed Tombs"
