POPSBiden Unloads On Cheney!!! Biden saved some of his fire for the Decider as well. Biden said former President Bush had not been fully aware of the country's position in the world. "I remember President Bush saying to me one time in the Oval Office, and he was a great guy, enjoyed being with him. He said to me, he said, 'Well, Joe,' he said, 'I'm a leader.' And I said, 'Mr. President, turn around and look behind you. No one's following.' People are beginning to follow the United States again as a consequence of our administration."

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's Free Air Time Why buy air time when cable news will run your ads for free? I've seen three of these ads aired on CNN today, as pundits talked about them. The irony of this is that, without the pundits discussing these things, no one would've seen them. In fact, I saw Wolf Blitzer discussing this very free media story, during which he ran McCain's ad! Liberal media my ass.

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.
