Exactly.
The shuttle launch managed to bump Paris off the CNN.com top story for about 5 minutes and then she was back up again.
Sad.

Tony Snow is a big fat liar.

This is news?

That link redirects to the site's front page and I am not finding and obvious way to it. There is no mention of Tony Snow in the body of that page.

Strange I was seeing video of one of those late night guys but my sound has disappeared on my computer so I have no idea what he's saying.

Oops, wanted to link directly to the vid, guess they're smart enough to protect it. Here's the page with the vid.

Summary:
The Daily Show shows two clips. One of Tony Snow saying, when the Alberto Gonzalez thing first broke, that the firings were based on performance. The second, Tony Snow, this week, saying that he never said that the firings were based on performance.

I love it when they put clips like that back to back! It shows it in a truer light, huh. He does a lot of ones like that with Bush too.
My husband has been watching that show lately, sorry I thought it was late night tv.

You know, I love being in school, I love learning so much... and while it's good to have doses of reality, it's a bit painful to realize that Bush was an even bigger douche than I could have imagined. Most politicians are tools, but man... without having anyone trying to convince me of any opinion, it's amazing to see how many of us (Americans, that is) have had the wool pulled over our eyes about so much of it.

Man, I gotta stop reading the Constitution n' sh*t... it's f*cking with my mind.

Hmmm...
Hillary just posted a video on her website parodying the series finale of The Sopranos. Hills is portraying Tony in the clip. Although it was worth a chuckle or two, I think it was a poor choice for 2 reasons. 1. Tony is a horrible character. A mafioso who killed a ton of people or had them whacked. 2. Popular belief is that Tony was whacked in the finale. She doesn't need to give people ideas.

Actually, that is not the "popular" idea of what happened. With no offense meant to anyone for their views, a study reported in the L.A. Times this week concluded opinion was pretty evenly split about whether cut-to-black meant Tony whack.


And I don't think Hillary was equating herself with the likes of Tony Soprano by the parody; merely spoofing something in the popular culture that had prominence in the news for a little while.
