MOORE: MCCAIN A "LOSER"



Now that the Democrats' favorite Republican, John McCain, has gone from Kerry's first choice for a running mate to Bush's first endorser at the GOP Convention, he has apparently also gone from "man of principle" to "loser" at least in the opinion of their "intellectual leader," Michael Moore:

John McCain, speaking from the podium, mentioned "a disingenuous film-maker", an obvious reference to Moore, whose film Fahrenheit 9/11 was a scathing attack on the US President, George Bush. Moore just happened to be sitting in the hall, having found his way into the gathering with a press pass. Seated in the stands with other journalists, he gave a wave and held up his hand in the shape of an L, for loser...


Funny how McCain's no longer "principled" as soon as he doesn't tow the Moore/Kerry/MoveOn line...

KERRY COUNTS ON MEDIA BIAS?

The American Spectator (last item) reports that John Kerry's campaign is not overly concerned about the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" movement.

The reason? Not the truth (or lack thereof) in the allegations, but the fact that the campaign believes the media is too liberal to give much coverage on the allegations:

"'the media wouldn't have the nerve to come at us with this kind of stuff...the media is committed to seeing us win this thing.'"

When even the Democrats think the media is liberal is the debate on bias over?

Ithaca Police Chief Chosen: Quotas Trump Experience, Again

ITHACA--According to the Ithaca Journal, the former aerobics instructor/Democrat who Ithacans voted their Mayor recently has named a new police chief.

To the surprise of absolutely no one who knows how Ithaca operates, Mayor Carolyn Peterson passed over the popular and highly qualified John Beau Saul to appoint Lauren Signer, the controversal former "Acting Chief" to the post.

Signer spent much of her tenure in that position attending topless protests and was accused of assaulting a resident during a roadside incident, resulting in a $1.25 million lawsuit being filed.

However, Signer also has a history of suing for sex discrimination, so her appointment to the post was probably a fait acompli...especially in the most liberal city in America.
