Cheney Nearly Breaks Reagan's 11th Commandment Monday , January 29, 2007 WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney shot back at Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, who has accused the Bush administration of playing "a pingpong game with American lives" by sending more U.S. troops into Iraq. "Let's say I believe firmly in Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican," Cheney said. "But it's very hard sometimes to adhere to that where Chuck Hagel is involved." Cheney's comments came in a Newsweek interview released Sunday. It is his first interview since the GOP lost control of Congress in November. Hagel, a potential presidential candidate, has been outspoken in his criticism that the Republican White House lacks a coherent strategy in Iraq. His "pingpong" remark came Wednesday as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee debated a nonbinding resolution that condemned Bush's troop buildup in Iraq. Hagel co-sponsored the measure, which the committee approved in a 12-9 vote. But Hagel was the only Republican to vote for it. Cheney admitted there was "flawed intelligence" prior to the Iraq war, but said that the past should not get in the way of present problems — Iraq's continuing violence and the broader terror war — nor override the good things being done in the country. "There's no question that the struggle has gone on longer than we anticipated, especially in Baghdad. It does not, though, lead me to conclude that what we're doing in terms of our overall effort, taking down Saddam Hussein's regime, standing up a new democracy in Iraq, isn't a worthy objective," he said. In the interview, Cheney also said he doesn't spend any time worrying about how the public or the media view him. When pressed to react to personal criticism from people with whom he has worked before, Cheney said: "Well, I'm vice president and they're not." foxnews.com

Audio: Tom Brokaw gets taken to task for dissing Rush posted at 11:45 am on November 26, 2007 by Bryan From today’s Laura Ingraham (http://lauraingraham.com/) show. Brokaw’s new 60s glorifying book (like we needed another one of those) runs through a riff on “influential Baby Boomers,” yet only mentions Rush Limbaugh in connection with his former addiction to pain killers (an addiction that was also suffered by the legendary Brett Favre, by the way). Limbaugh single-handedly revived AM radio and more or less created talk radio as we know it today. He helped craft and inform the conservative movement and played more than a bit part in its resurgence in the 80s and especially the 90s. He took political commentary and satire to an entirely new level and is probably responsible for creating thousands of jobs across the country by making AM radio viable and profitable. I know, because I used to work at one of his affiliates. In his industry, whether you love him or hate him, Limbaugh’s career may be the equivalent of Brett Favre and Babe Ruth put together. For that, Brokaw gives him one line in his book, and that line is a knock. And Brokaw thinks that Limbaugh is biased. hotair.com Partisan hacks are only members of polite society when they are honest about their partisanship despite all of their protestations to the contrary. Brokaw is not honest about his partisanship. Rush will be remembered long after people say Tom Who?
