Distortion: McCain Did Not Quite Support Kofi AnnanI was pretty surprised to read the headline that John McCain was defending Annan, and ready to tear him (another) new one. But he didn't quite do that. The piece was written by Oliver-Willis-fan Joe Conason-- consider the source. And consider what McCain actually said: Asked whether he believes that Mr. Annan should step down, the Arizona Republican and outspoken hawk replied, "No. I think that we should have a full and complete investigation and then make decisions like that. Am I disturbed when I hear that his son was on payroll? Of course I’m disturbed about it, and apparently Kofi Annan was [disturbed] also." He added, "I think Coleman is kind of a symptom of some dissatisfaction within Congress about the U.N.—but no, I think we need a full and complete investigation, and there’s plenty of time to decide whether people should keep their jobs or not." Sure, I wish McCain were more forward-leaning on this, and yes, I think he's wrong about the need, at this point, to collect more evidence before making some judgments. Still, McCain seems to be making a limited proceduralist statement -- "Let us do these things in proper order, and at the proper time" -- rather than "disdaining" Annan's GOP critics, as Conason claims in his headline. Perhaps McCain said additional things off-the-record. Perhaps, but I'm inclined to believe that Joe Conason is just being the normal dishonest hack he's always been. posted by Ace at 03:41 PM
CommentsMcCain didn't mince words when he said he didn't support Rummy. Why's he tiptoein' around Kofi? Maybe he doesn't want to piss off his buddies in the MSM? Posted by: Iblis on December 8, 2004 03:50 PM
That is always a viable theory re: McCain. The man loves the MSM love. He's a preening prima donna, no doubt. And sure, he's probably attempting to seem "moderate" and "reasonable" to continue his unending good press from the NYT editorial page. Still, he didn't say quite what Conason claims he said, and I don't think it's fair to pretend otherwise. Even if he is a bit of a prick. Posted by: ace on December 8, 2004 03:52 PM
And here I thought he was up to his old tricks again. Posted by: mAc Chaos on December 8, 2004 04:19 PM
Perhaps it's correctly reported and this is how McCain really feels. What's the big deal? So many times people just jump down politician's throats. Posted by: Chris Grant on December 8, 2004 05:19 PM
It is my grave misfortune to be an Arizona native, born and bred, and a third generation native too, not a johnny-come-lately snowbird. My grave misfortune is having John McCain as one of my senators. From past dealings with the man, I can assure you he really is a self-serving, two-faced, turncoat bastard and in no way should he any longer be allowed to call himself a conservative. Trust me, Ace, the man is more than just a "bit of a prick." How he continues to deceive Arizonans into re-electing him is beyond me, but then, I've never been able to understand how Ted Kennedy has remained a senator practically since before God created dirt. Immediately prior to 9/11, there was a recall drive here to oust that s.o.b. from office and it had a fighting chance to succeed, untill all hell broke loose after the 9/11 attacks. McCain is one of the most opportunistic weasels that ever existed. He and John Kerry are cut from the same cloth. Don't even get me started on John McCain. He's MY senator, not yours, and I'm the one who has to live with the jackass representing me. It makes me want to retch and heave. Posted by: FrankVillon on December 8, 2004 06:34 PM

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents. Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker. And I guess you think you've got it made Oh, but then, you never were afraid Of anything that you've left behind Oh, but it's alright with me now 'Cause I'll get back up somehow And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
