My Bet on Rance?

I’m a big fan. I find the morning show with Chuck D and the others decent and I really find Franken funny.
Many expected that liberals couldn’t demagogue and to some degree that is true (Randi Rhodes is quite good at it though). Franken plays well to what younger liberals find funny and is very entertaining. And the ratings show it.
They still need to work on the business plan, but I’m betting by years end they’ll be in most major cities. Rhodes is annoying, the guy after her weird and boring, but the Chuck D, Franken and night time show with Garafola are quite entertaining for partisans.
Seriously, go See it Now!
This is beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Seriously.

Imagine If Bill Clinton Had Done It
Now the White House has informed the American people that they were also “all wrong” about their decision to place their faith in Ahmed Chalabi, even though they have paid him 340,000 dollars per month. 33 million dollars (CHECK) and placed him adjacent to Laura Bush at the State of the Union address. Chalabi had been convicted of fraud and embezzling 70 million dollars in public funds from a Jordanian bank, and escaped prison by fleeing the country. But in spite of that record, he had become one of key advisors to the Bush Administration on planning and promoting the War against Iraq.
And they repeatedly cited him as an authority, perhaps even a future president of Iraq. Incredibly, they even ferried him and his private army into Baghdad in advance of anyone else, and allowed him to seize control over Saddam’s secret papers.
Now they are telling the American people that he is a spy for Iran who has been duping the President of the United States for all these years.
UPDATE: And in comments Absit Invidia leaves a note that the National Review’s David Frum was defending Chalabi as late as May 5th.
AI is a good site–take a look–he is conservative and very smart and independent. He’s linked on the expanded blog roll as well. Always a good read.
Nuclear Materials Here!
“There was also in Rumsfeld’s planning a failure to provide security for nuclear materials”
Some have tried to shrug this off as the chaos of the original invasion.
Those who have read for a long time know that I harp on the issue of nuclear security quite a bit. Much of my respect for Dick Lugar comes from his work alerting the nation to the danger of loose nuclear materials control. In this case, the material is not fissable–at least easily, but I didn’t think an invasion of Iraq was to create an open bazaar of dirty bomb materials for Al Qaeda–such a situation leaves us less secure than with Saddam Hussein in power who had an interest in controlling such material to make sure it wasn’t used against him.
Why not just put a giant neon sign
“Nuclear Materials Here!”
Sign the petition to have Rumsfeld fired. If anything, the petition is too modest in asking for only Rumsfeld’s job.
Small Problem Joyce
Rutherford isn’t against the wetlands bill on principle, he’s against exempting Cook County. It’s a reasonable position. Maybe you should ask him about it.

Ralph has the best coverage of the Luechtefeld trash story. And he says more to come….

Don’t Celebrate Russert’s Subpeona
Carol Marin writes a very good column on why Russert shouldn’t be subpeonaed.
Doing so would stop sources who are true whistle blowers from coming forward instead of nitwits trying to damage a perceived political opponent. The best solution is a new President–then the leaker will be unemployed–unless Patrick Fitzgerald has more than people are guessing.
