Wonkette: I'm smart, pretty and give good head.

Q: That's a talking point. That's a talking point.

Wonkette: No, that's a fact. Go ahead.

Q: No, it's not.

Ace, that proves nothing. He probably just found the thumb drive somewhere and stuck it in his pocket just before he got picked up.

You don't need to see his thumb drive. These aren't the terrorists you're looking for. Move along.

These press conferences are so dumb. The reporters have finally defeated all attempts to parody them.

Q. Sir, do you admit or deny that you stopped beating your wife?
A. I...what? No, I don't..I mean...
Q. So you haven't stopped beating her yet?
A. Yes! I mean, no! I mean...I don't--
Q. So you admit not denying you ever said that?
A. You're misstating...I mean, I don't--
Q. Am I to understand that you just confirmed that you never admitted to not denying that?

...and so on. There's no way to win with a rigged deck, folks. The only winning move is not to play.

These are not terrorists in Iraq....they are FREEDOM FIGHTERS!

Oil probe to fault Annan, council

The Independent Inquiry Committee's definitive report, to be released Wednesday, will fault U.N. management for allowing Saddam Hussein to manipulate the program.

The committee, led by former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, calls for widespread reform to take on such tasks in the future. It questions whether the United Nations is even capable of running such massive operations.

Meanwhile, the Italian business newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore and the London-based Financial Times were to report in their Wednesday editions that Kojo Annan received more than $750,000 from oil trading companies being scrutinized by oil-for-food investigators.

Trust me, this is not a talking point. BTDT

I question the timing.

I love how that transcript records the reporter's statements as Q for question!

That poor Freedom Fighter just happened to have received those tourist maps from the poor suckers that got blown up when the actual bombers, obviously right-wing loonies, really did the bombing. The real bombers were just clever enough to have stood close enough to the ones being accused to have cast all suspicion on those poor Islamofascists. The gall of it all.

In a sign of desperation, amid mounting critisim for anything that went wrong in the world last week, the Bush adminstration is using actual facts for talking points?
