IT'S THE TAX CUTS, STUPID: "In a departure from public pronouncements about the
federal budget deficit, a senior aide to President Bush said last week that the
record deficits have been caused, in part, by tax cuts." Responding to a
question on Ask the White House, Communications Director Dan Bartlett wrote,
"The deficit was caused by three things: lost revenue coming into the treasury
due to the recession; funding increases to fight the war and protect the
homeland; and tax relief to jumpstart our economy
(http://www.thehill.com/news/09282004/taxcuts.aspx) ." Administration officials
have blamed the deficits on "extraordinary circumstances," like 9/11 and the war
on terror, even though government reports say otherwise. A table in the Office
of Management and Budget's midyear review shows that 35 percent of the total
deficit comes from the three tax cuts Congress has enacted in the last four
years.

BOB NOVAK'S HYPOCRISY: At a background briefing sanctioned by the CIA last week,
national intelligence officer Paul R. Pillar -- whose identity attendees agreed
to keep secret -- first discussed the NIC's pre-war warnings to the Bush
administration. Novak, who has adamantly defended his own right to out a covert
CIA agent without naming his White House source, promptly wrote a column
identifying Pillar
(http://www.townhall.com/columnists/robertnovak/welcome.shtml) as the speaker
at the briefing. Novak wrote, "the CIA bureaucracy wants a license to criticize
the president and the former DCI without being held accountable."
