Peggy Noonan has really hit one out of the park today:

In case you missed it, Karl Rove hit the nail on the head yesterday when he said the following:
Bush’s chief political adviser, Rove said in a speech Wednesday that “liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.” Conservatives, he told the New [...]
I have written about the farce known as the International Freedom Center before (here, here, and here), so my ears perked up when I read this over at Michelle Malkin’s blog:
The battle over Ground Zero continues, and the public relations master for the Blame America side is losing his cool.

Howard Dean is once again throwing around outrageous accusations as facts regarding the 2004 election:
According to the report, the systemic problems plaguing Ohio’s voting process included: voter suppression, negligent and poorly trained election officials, long lines, problems with registration status, polling locations, absentee ballots and provisional ballots, and unlawful identification requirements at the polls.
Dean suggested [...]
Democrats are continuing to prevent the Bush Administration from reforming the failing Social Security system:
Senate Democrats said on Wednesday they would not be drawn into a White House “bait and switch” strategy on Social Security and insisted President Bush take private investment accounts off the table.
Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, the top Democrat on the [...]
