One might take exception to the plural Republicans, in the title, but they shouldn’t. ALL the republican candidates (except Ron Paul) lied about tons of stuff. Its all there on tape. Republicans are liars.

Or, more correctly, what our sad anniversary tomorrow has been turned into by the presidential administration, and the current Republican candidates for President and Vice President.
This is supposed to be a day of remembrance. Remembrance of the attack, remembrance of the national unity which followed it.

Special to our right-wing friends: Turn on MSNBC at 7:00 pm MST tomorrow and tell us what you think.
Yup, it’s the debut of “The Rachel Maddow Show,” featuring Air America’s Rachel Maddow. You may have seen her guest-hosting “Countdown” or in her role as an MSNBC political commentator.

It must feel like being betrayed by a lover who used and abused [...]

Now that was one hell of a ‘Special Comment’. George W. Bush should be impeached, no skip that, he ought to be criminally prosecuted and serve some serious time in the Big House. I like it, from the White House to the Big House.

Documentarian Ken Burns has been making the rounds, giving variations of the same interview to promote his new 14-hour WW II documentary, The War that begins tomorrow night. To be honest, I’m not sure I’ll watch the whole thing because Burn’s previous war chronicle The Civil War was so depressing. Truth about war [...]

Thank you God for the backbones of MSNBC and The Internet.
