Bush to order withdrawal

Reminding us all that he's still here, President Bush plans to order 8,000 more combat and support troops out of Iraq by February.

However, the withdrawal is smaller and has taken longer than anticipated.

By the time this withdrawal has taken effect, we'll have someone else calling the shots. For better or for worse.

The pot calling the kettle liberal

For shits and giggles, try and watch this video the whole way through. It's worth it to note, they're absolutely spot-on in their analysis. 

But, Fox News delighting in MSNBC's political leanings is like President Bush calling someone out for their verbal faux pas. Kinda freakin' hilarious.

It's just too easy

As long as there's Sarah Palin there will be something to write about. With so many rumors hot off the presses about the Ice Princess, Gawker has decided to compile a list and do some fact-checking on the hot mess of rumor-mongering the past few weeks.

Just for LOLs

PEOPLE actually had the deranged notion that this question was a debatable topic.

Everyone knows it's that sexy librarian vibe her policies and political ideology the former Miss Alaskan has going for her.

Reprimanding the media is never a smart tack

So GOP campaign manager Rick Davis lets us know that VP nom Sarah Palin would agree to an interview "when we think it's time and when she feels comfortable doing it."

"Why would we want to throw Sarah Palin into a cycle of piranhas called the news media that have nothing better to ask questions about than her personal life and her children?" said David. 

"Until...we feel like the news media is going to treat her with some level of respect and deference, I think it would be foolhardy to put her out into that kind of environment."

Yeah, you're right. Ya know, with less than two months before Election Day, naturally, the American public is going to agree with that. We don't really want to know anything about this governor of less than 2 years from the frozen tundra of nowhere who just came into the spotlight and might potentially have to run the country for the next 4 to 8 years, but, of course, the likelihood of that is slim being that Republican presidential hopeful McCain is 72 years young and has had cancer before. 

Take your time, GOP! Wait until she's comfortable, please. After all, if the American population decides to elect the next presidential ticket as hastily as you chose your running mate, John, then I'm sure we'll be in good hands.

In the words of Stephen Colbert, "Seriously though, 9/11."

Gov. Palin will be appearing on ABC with softballer Charlie Gibson later this week. Don't hurt her feelings, Chuck.

New York Post endorses more of the same!

Surprised? You shouldn't be.

The New York Post, famous for its Page Six section, has gone ahead and "enthusiastically" urged the election of Sen. John McCain for president. The rag is owned by parent company, NewsCorp. NewsCorp is owned by Mad Dog Murdoch himself, and therein lies the element of non-surprise.

After highlighting Sen. Obama's "tissue-paper-thin resumé" (that's right, not just paper-thin), the Post went on to laud GOP hopeful McCain:

"McCain has been in Washington for many years now, but he is not of Washington. He knows where the levers of power are located - and how to manipulate them - but he is not controlled by them."

They don't need to tell us that! He's a maverick ya'll, 'memba?

MSNBC tries to revive their good name

Or rather, their unbiased name. Ohhhh, that's right, they never had one.

MSNBC has demoted Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews to every reporter's nightmare, mere analysts. This is their punishment for failing to eject their liberal bias from their coverage of the election.

After months of accusations of political bias and tension between MSNBC and its parent network NBC, it was decided that David Gregory would succeed the role of anchor in the network's election coverage.

The problem with this scenario, is the majority of MSNBC's viewers tune in to hear that liberal bias. MSNBC intelligently emulated FOX' success with political leaning.

Something tells me they will try, and subsequently fail with their "straight talk" experiment.
