Murtha Will Be Sued

Hat Tip to Hot Air. Jack Murtha has made many foolish and irresponsible comments. Maybe now he will be held accountable for at least some of those comments.

Bryan says, “Well, I’m cheering on any Marine who chooses to sue Jack Murtha over his Haditha comments. He got himself way out ahead of the facts, and now the facts are sneaking up to bite him on the backside. He deserves it, and it’s about time someone got some justice over one of these slanders.”

Ann Coulter: Let’s Compare Attorneys General

Thanks Ann for your great column today. Janet Reno was a total disaster, yet the drive-by media can only focus on Gonzales.

This week, congressional Democrats vowed to investigate Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ firing of himself. Gonzales has said he was not involved in the discussions about his firing and that it was “performance-based,” but he couldn’t recall the specifics.

Liberals want to return the office to the glory years of Attorney General Janet Reno!

There is reason to believe Reno is precisely the sort of attorney general that Hillary would nominate, since Reno was widely assumed to be Hillary’s pick at the time. As ABC News’ Chris Bury reported the day Reno was confirmed: “The search for an attorney general exemplifies Hillary Clinton’s circle of influence and its clout. … The attorney general-designate, Janet Reno, came to the president’s attention through Hillary Clinton’s brother, Hugh Rodham.”

Let’s compare attorneys general:

Civilians killed by Ashcroft: 0

Civilians killed by Gonzales: 0

Civilians killed by Reno: 80

Obama’s Religion

Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell has been doing some writing. Blackwell would make a great congressman or senator. He certainly has Barack Obama’s number.

In light of recent polls, pundits have speculated that Senator Obama will need a miracle to win his party’s presidential nomination. After offending many of the nation’s ministers, priests, and rabbis in a speech this summer, he better have a direct line to the almighty.

Mr. Obama accused Conservative Christian leaders of “hijacking” religion several weeks ago. While seeking to impose his own secular agenda through houses of worship, the senator condemns any pastor or priest who disagrees with it.
