"Rob "Acidman" Smith thinks Bush showed real courage, in contrast to his predecessor. I would note that Clinton made a trip to Bosnia to visit our troops, although the danger level was certainly lower."

Well, why was the danger level lower? See also http://www.nathannewman.org/log/archives/001389.shtml

James, Why did you swipe at Sullivan with that "reading between the lines" comment? There is nothing in that post at all that indicates Sullivan was even thinking about that. Unless, of course, you're one of those who thinks that the only thing ever on Sulivan's mind is gay rights. That's tremendously unfair, and your loss if you feel that all of his posts, no matter what the subject, has this "hidden agenda." Sullivan's post was completely in support of Bush. It did not in any way waver from the story about the trip. I'm not sure why you felt the need to get that swipe in.

I thought the "swipe" was pretty funny, myself. It's pretty clear it's only meant as a tongue-in-cheek bit of friendly ribbing, given the "between the lines" remark.

Michael Demmons you musta not read Sully enough.

The line was brilliant.

Maybe you don't read him enough. If you take away the "gay rights" posts and the "NYT sucks since they fired me" posts, you lose 80% of his content.

Lighten up, it was funny.

Nobody questioned his support of Bush and trust me, nobody has even accused Sully of having a hidden agenda. KnowhatImean?

Arug! I hate it when there is a typo in the punch line!

...and trust me, nobody has EVER accused Sully of having a hidden agenda. KnowhatImean?

Spinning the Visit
I have not had a chance to see any pundits or read any commentary on the President's visit to Iraq yesterday, aside from some generally positive reaction in the Blogosphere yesterday evening. My guess is that most of the Democrats/critics...

This Trip Will Make a Better Campaign Commercial Than That Carrier Thing Bush jets off for Thanksgiving dinner with 600 troops in Baghdad. Good P.R. move, and it made those 600 troopers feel better, I am sure. I didn't read the speech he gave - it would only piss me off, and
