Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

Two contract employees of the U.S. State Department have been sacked for allegedly SNOOPING through Barack Obama’s passport files.

Bill Clinton’s passport files were similarly violated in 1992 when he was running against the first President Bush.

UPDATE: Josh finds the TIMELINE suspicious.

When John McCain erroneously declared three times in recent days that al-Qaeda militants in Iraq were being supplied by Iran (about which we reported HERE), the mainstream media paid the matter only SCANT ATTENTION.

Of course, if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton had made the same mistake, the media furor would have been downright sensational.

Tell me again about the bias of the liberal media.  I like fairy tales at bedtime.

Robert Scheer SURVEYS the ignominy in which the Bush presidency is winding down.

UPDATE: A gang of right-wingers is LAUNCHING what they call the Bush Legacy Project. That ought to be good for a few laughs.
