Lest the sight of people who disagree with him cause the President any stress, seven city busses were called in to provide a visual barrier. There seems to be no truth to the rumor that stadium noise was played to drown out the protesters voices.

From CNN:

In visits to New Orleans in the morning and Atlanta in the afternoon, Bush portrayed himself as an heir to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., saying that he shared with the slain civil rights leader a belief in the transforming power of faith in American life.

Faith in what?
I wonder if he was close enough to hear Dr King spinning?
Apparently The President is living in Compassionate Conservative fantasy land.

And then, on a lighter note:

Referring to an executive order he issued 13 months ago to make faith-based groups eligible for federal subsidies, Bush said: “It’s not a dictatorship in Washington, but I tried to make it one in that instance.

That’s one shockingly refreshing lemon lime bit of candor. Our lawyers are looking into possible Constitutional violations contained in this strategy.

I’m not sure if Joe Lieberman could be any more pathetic, but my money is on him giving it his best shot.

From South Carolina’s thestate.com

Sen. Joe Lieberman’s staff gave new meaning to “shoe leather” campaigns Wednesday when aides delivered seven flip-flop sandals to Wesley Clark’s S.C. campaign headquarters. The pieces of footwear, made in China, represent what Lieberman campaign members say are the “seven different positions Wes Clark has taken on the Iraq war,” according to a news release from the Lieberman campaign. By most accounts, it is the first prank of the campaign in South Carolina.

Shouldn’t your campaign workers be, I don’t know, campaigning?
In big non-footwear related news for Lieberman, he picked up the endorsement of ESPN’s Chris Berman. Note to Chris: Joe’s not going all the way. You’d be better off endorsing Deion Sanders.
Note to Joe: You’re done. Now leave things to the big kids and run along.

Seems there is quite a back-and-forth over at So Snorteth the Peabs between the Democratic Front Runner and Peabs over who is most qualified to be the nominee. Peabs is a scrappy one, but the way I see it, campaign manager The Gorilla needs to come up with a better plan to get around Article II - Section 1.

What was supposed to be a routine birthday call to Cohen Sr. turned into mayhem as he renounced his Republican status. After all these years of arguing, I pronounce myself the winner. Obvs.

Cohen Sr.

I also got a firm commitment that he would not be voting to re-elect The President. I’m going to turn the tide one vote at a time. If you are keeping score at home, it was the Mars mission that broke the camel’s back.

I’ll leave you with the latest bit of science from Bob The Body:

When asked what he would be contributing to our Guilty Pleasures feature, The Body responded: “I don’t know what I’d write about. All the stuff I like is cool.”

Whistle Crew in the place.
