But, you specifically cited Saddam's "defiance of UN resolutions". Apparently, you respect UN resolutions which apply to certain countries, but not UN resolutions which apply to other countries. That would certainly qualify you as "partisan", and perhaps as a "pinhead" as well, though that is a matter of opinion.

You're a lilly-livered hypocrite. What a coward for not answering the question. The appropriate answer was a simple yes or no.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you don't believe that Israel should be forced to comply with UN resolutions.

Another example of GOP responsibility...blame someone else.

latimes.com

Simon is so untrustworthy the GOP doesn't trust him...[from the same article....

"The money is going directly to TV stations rather than the campaign coffers, where it might not be spent on advertising" as agreed upon, said a Republican close to GOP leaders in Washington.

Not that being untrustworthy is a disqualifier for the GOP.

This part was actuall funny....

"It reminds people Gray Davis runs around taking every $10,000 check he can get," said GOP strategist Allan Hoffenblum.

From the GOP...the party that has Bush racking up $140 Million in political contributions and schedules two full weeks campaigning...what total unadulterated hypocrisy.

How about this one from Montana.

billingsgazette.com

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Taylor abruptly dropped out of the race because Democrats are committing "character assassination"...what are the dems doing you ask? They're showing film clips that Mike Taylor made of his weekly broadcasts....ROTFLOL.....

The Democrats' ad included footage from a weekly television show, "Beauty Corner," that Taylor did for a Denver television station in the early 1980s. The ad showed a much slimmer Taylor, sporting a full beard, dressed in a tight-fitting three-piece suit with an open collared shirt that shows him wearing a number of gold chains. Taylor is shown rubbing lotion into another man's face.

This one's a knee slapper....

The New York Police Department said yesterday that it had increased security around bridges, tunnels, financial centers and landmarks in response to an F.B.I. warning that the local authorities should take "additional prudent steps" to detect and deter potential terrorist attacks.
nytimes.com

That probably doesn't sound funny,yet....Local police responding to an FBI alert. But how about Ashcroft? How serviously does he take FBI warnings.

Andy Thayer, a spokesman for the protesters, said the rally had been organized on a few hours' notice after they learned that Mr. Ashcroft had scheduled the news conference.

The protest drew several dozen demonstrators, among them members of Neighbors for Peace and the Chicago Coalition Against War and Racism, who called the jailing of the Syrian-born Mr. Arnaout and other Arab-Americans since Sept. 11 last year, and now the indictment today, an "attack on civil liberties." ....

Some of the protesters made their way inside the federal building, and at least half a dozen managed to get as far as the 11th floor, outside the room where the news conference was held, but only after it had ended.

nytimes.com

Protesters storm the Federal building where Ashcroft is speaking and make it to the 11th floor! Ashcroft doesn't take seriously the FBI warnings. That should give even you a hint about the reason for terrorist warning. I take that back...you won't figure it out.

This is so coooool. It's time to indict George Bush and Ronald Reagan for funding terrorists! You might even get Clinton with this one.

Mr. Piers, the lawyer for Benevolence International, said in an interview that the Justice Department was seeking to "rewrite history" in portraying Mr. Arnaout as a financier of terrorists. He said Mr. Arnaout's activities in war-torn regions like Afghanistan in the 1980's and Bosnia in the 1990's came on behalf of many of the same rebel fighters the United States was backing then.

No free speech shall go unpunished .... at least how Dick Armey sees it...

Furious at how the Dallas Morning News covered his son's failed congressional bid this year, House Majority Leader Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.) is trying to insert language in a military spending bill that would force the newspaper's parent company to sell off one of its Dallas media properties.

Armey privately asked Republican lawmakers to place a provision in this year's military construction bill that would make Belo Corp., which owns the Dallas Morning News as well as the Denton Record-Chronicle and WFAA-TV of Dallas, shed one of its properties. The maneuver, which was first reported Monday in the Dallas Morning News, has sparked protests among Democrats and Republicans.....

Armey's provision calls on the Federal Communications Commission to force any media company to divest one outlet if, in a single market, it owns a newspaper with a Sunday circulation of 750,000 or more that lacks a competitor with a Sunday circulation above 350,000; owns another daily with a Sunday circulation of 25,000 or less, and a network-affiliated TV station.

Holt said the measure was specifically crafted to affect Belo but not any other media company.
