Around the State 9-12-06
History Disconnected from Fact - Here are five words that I never expected to be putting together in the same sentence: Bill Clinton owes Rush Limbaugh. Yes, El Rushbo, hero of the Right, leaked word via his national radio show that the Clinton administration, targets of the Right, were about to be trashed in ABC’s docudrama, The Path to 9/11.
CIA leak case reinforces distrust of Media - We in the news media are very good at uncovering and chomping into what we see as a scandal, relentlessly picking at the carcass until nothing’s left but bare bones strewn across the landscape.
Real Reform Needed - The Associated Press reported that taxpayers are bankrolling the president’s travels as he criss-crosses the country to campaign for Republicans in danger of losing control of Congress in this November’s midterm elections. If such campaign trips are coupled with so-called ” official” visits, taxpayers get stuck with the lion’s share of the bill for travel, and political campaigns usually pay a small percentage.
Bob, ashes and the - The huge dump — where the twisted steel, crushed building material, mangled office furniture, tons and tons of ashes and even human remains were brought — was considered a crime scene because law enforcement officers were still looking and finding evidence there. The smallest object, placed in a pocket as a souvenir, could have been the piece of the puzzle that solved the investigation into our nation’s most horrendous crime.
