Progressive Minds

Those dear, sweet delusional Repulican friends of ours! Check out their latest talking points on Iraq.

1.  During an appearance on Larry King this evening, Laura Bush said everything is really going swell in Iraq.  She said it's just that "one bombing a day" that's got everyone in a frenzy!  Laura Bush told Larry King "Many parts of Iraq are stable now. But, uh, of course, what we see on television is the one bombing a day that discourages everyone."  Gee Laura, if you're really so encouraged about the state of Iraq, how about sending the twins over there for a vacation?  Should be fun, don't ya think?

2.  Then there's Fox News' John Gibson.  For John Gibson, he's been focusing like a laser beam on the death of Anna Nicole Smith.  He wants All Anna, All The Time.  And he said that those reporters who have chosen to ignore the Anna Nicole story, and focus on Iraq instead, are "snobs." He accused people like Anderson Cooper who have covered the war aggressively, of "news-guy snobbery."  (Don't want to talk about that pesky war in Iraq, huh John?)

Is this the best the Republicans can offer us?  Don't let that "one bombing a day" in Iraq discourage you, and don't be a "snob" by forsaking the Anna Nicole story in favor of the Iraq war?

Laura Bush: Iraq is mostly stable, it's just that "one bombing a day that discourages everyone"

Gibson: Reporters Who Ignore Anna Nicole Smith To Focus On Iraq War Are ‘Snobs’
