1. Other. Deadeye Dick gets a purple heart.

And a nomination for the Congressional Medal of Honor.

He's such a hero.

2. "Assassination Attempt" riles the masses

to get behind Bush. Oddly enough, the bombs that went off during Condi's recent visit to Iraq were just an everyday occurrence and not an assassination attempt. Who'da thunk it?

3. Well....On 24 Last Night....

They actually got to the President.

Of course the Deputy Chief Of Staff was involved, and planted the bomb.

Doubt that would happen in reality. Or at least in this administration.

4. Odd that the Taliban know Cheney's schedule

And the American people don't.
