Rep. John Conyers whines to the Washington Post regarding Post columnist, Dana Milbank’s piece: Democrats Play House To Rally Against the War.
He whines about the room.
He whines about the coverage.
He whines about the facts of the story.
And then….
Conyers spins:
“The fact that I and my fellow Democrats had to stuff a hearing into a room the size of a large closet to hold a hearing on an important issue shouldn’t make us the object of ridicule. In my opinion, the ridicule should be placed in two places: first, at the feet of Republicans who are so afraid to discuss ideas and facts that they try to sabotage our efforts to do so; and second, on Dana Milbank and the Washington Post, who do not feel the need to give serious coverage on a serious hearing about a serious matter-whether more than 1700 Americans have died because of a deliberate lie. Milbank may disagree, but the Post certainly owed its readers some coverage of that viewpoint.
The Post covered this Conyer’s non-event accurately.
In fact, so well that DNC Chairman, Howard Dean had to disavow the activities.

Plagiarizing Joe Biden, Democrat Senator from Delaware will seek the Presidency. This announcement on CBS’s Face the Nation is almost two decades after he dropped out of the presidential race amid charges he plagiarized a British politician’s speech.
Biden campaigned for the 1988 Democratic nomination but withdrew early in the race after charges he plagiarized parts of a speech by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock and exaggerated his academic record.
My intention now is to seek the nomination,” Biden, of Delaware, said on CBS television’s “Face the Nation.” He said he would explore his support and decide by the end of this year — a sign the race may get off to an early and competitive start.
“If in fact I think I have a clear shot at winning the nomination, by this November or December, then I’m going to seek the nomination,” he said.
Biden is the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a frequent critic of
President Bush’s Iraq policy.
Have at him Hillary!

John McCain just finished on Meet the Press.
On every issue he failed to support his Republican Party and President Bush.
Flap will post transcripts, audio and video when they are available.
McCain is DEAD MEAT if he ever seeks the Presidency.
