1. kick and rec. nt

2. After having been in Iraq (and not surrounded by snipers and armed bodyguards

and wearing body armor), I'm sure that Michael Ware has nothing physically to fear from people who would probably make the Simpsons' fat comic book guy (Robot Dungeon) look like Twiggy ...

3. Was it just me, or

could McCain look any more discouraged while giving that conference?

Seriously, buddy, if you're going to try and put a positive spin on Iraq, at least smile a bit.

4. I saw this on CNN. So it was on Drudge huh?

No wonder it can't hold any water

5. Glad to K&R this for #5

Hubby and I have always liked MW....he seems to tell it like it is and has the FACTS to back up what he is saying. Too bad other reporters don't have the cajones he does. he is about the only reason we watch CNN other than cafferty.

7. Don't like the message? No need for debate, just slander the messenger.

How utterly predictable.

[progressoid]

8. "McCain...wearing a bullet-proof vest, surrounded by heavy security..."

Sounds pretty safe to me!!

[K8-EEE]

9. K&R! Another truth teller targeted by the BushCo Lie Machine....

They're getting pretty clumsy about this stuff.

10. Notice he never even said "The Drudge Report"

It was simply "a blog." So, not only is he not giving Drudge any free advertising, but obviously Drudge is no mere blog. Characterizing him as thus really serves to put him in his place, knock him down a couple of notches and not allow him to feel any more important than he really is.

11. Drudge Report

I just rechecked Drudge. I didn't find the story. It was there earily this morning, so he may have taken it off.
