Bob Novak gets uppity (video here) because Carville calls him out on right wing ass-kissing. Apparently, pissed off talking heads who stop yapping about their opinions on the news counts as actual news.

EDIT: CNN has sent Bobby to his room for a timeout.

Ford Set to Dump Excursion

Overweight and underpowered, plus 10 mpg in a world of $3 gas makes this truck a giant flashing “I am a Fricking Moron” billboard every time you take a $10 trip to Safeway for a loaf of bread.

(OTOH, my sister Buzzkill could only drive 1/2 her family anywhere in this barge, unless they rode bordercross-style.)

Rumsfeld and other officials in recent weeks after internal deliberations about the best way to communicate how the United States views the challenge it is facing.

President Biff went on to say: “From now on, it’s all a war. Right now, I am waging a war agaisnt sagebrush. Later, I will wage a war against Viagra, while Laura wages war against boredom. Tomorrow, I will launch an all out ground offensive against that there hill in my ongoining mountainbiking war against being lardasses like my senior staff.”

Former administration toady General Colin “Colon” Powell reportedly sent a telegram to the joint chiefs laughing his ass off: “ROFLMAO. “War” is the new  “struggle,” which was the new “war.” Good luck nuking the dictionary. How double-plus-ungood for you.”
