We'll be hearing less from Al Franken -- Air America, a heavily-subsidized attempt at launching a nationwide left-liberal AM talk radio network, is not only in Chapter 11 bankruptcy but is auctioning off its equipment to cover debts, the New York Times reports on a back page (p. 26, iirc) and O'Reilly reports in mid-show.

Americans aren't buying shoddy goods even if George Soros wants them to.

From Coulters website: 3 Conservative books from Oh Really, Coulter and Gingrich for $1, doesn't that say enough? If you got a $1 intellect, buy a $1 book*

As for the Niger Yellow Cake, seems that the grapes are sour for Ms Coulter. All Coulter is doing is throwing up more smoke screens.

The Niger case has been debunked many times. Even Tenet asked to remove the Niger case from the Bush 2002 Cincinatti speech. In January 2006, the New York Times revealed the existence of a memo which stated that the suggestion of uranium being sold was "unlikely" because of a host of economic, diplomatic and logistical obstacles. The memo, dated March 4, 2002, was distributed at senior levels by the office of former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and by the Defense Intelligence Agency. There's plenty more info on that, if you're interested other than Coulters screeches.

At least he showed both sides in his reports.

Is anyone?

I don't think I'll comment on his Senatorial candidacy except to say I wouldn't vote for him. More like I'd contribute to his opponents.

Hipp, that's much more like value for dollar than one-dollar intellect. The Left doesn't have much recognizable brains -- they try and make do on loudly noised self-righteousness, which does not serve. Bear in mind, too, that the United States really doesn't have anything much like the European Left in its political makeup. The American Left is its own species, and the interactions of the American Left and Right can yield very un-European results which may leave European observers astonished.

It is very difficult to imagine what business an Iraqi official might have in Niger except making possible deals in Niger's best source of foreign exchange: processed uranium ore. It's not like Niger dominates world markets in pistachios, ready-to-assemble furniture, and stuffed animals, you know.

Rational people don't need the same old propaganda forced down their throats every day like irrational people do. If O'reilly, Hannity, and Limbaugh went off the air, you won't know what to think and believe in.

Now dont be so hard on him, spexx - remember, he's had his entire worldview stable and secure in his mind since he was ten.
