America’s “good friend,” Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is warning us that, “Today there is hatred of the Americans like never before in the region….At the start some considered the Americans were helping them. There was no hatred of the Americans. After what has happened in Iraq, there is unprecedented hatred and the Americans know it….People […]

Campaigning for the re-election of U.S. Senator Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania yesterday, President George Bush called the incumbent Senator “the best so-called ‘Republican’ candidate who can probably win in November and maintain the appearance of a Republican majority in the Senate.” It was strong praise for a candidate who opposes the president’s own views on […]

Tonight, long after most of us have drifted off into a contented slumber, dreaming wondrous dreams, there will be people laying awake. People like Bob Shrum, Mary Beth Cahill, and even John Kerry himself will be looking up at the ceiling, drenched in their own nervous sweat, wondering if this is what it feels like […]

Unluckily for you, RWN’s valued readers, it’s time for me to take another week-end vacation at the beach. RWN will return on Tuesday the 20th. While I’m gone, I was hoping you could take a look at a few of our advertisers. Come on, I’d do it for you. Please? Pretty please with sugar on […]

So here are a few of RWN’s greatest hits… Editorials ———– An Open Letter To The Arab Street The GOP Needs To Reach Out To Conservative Black Voters I Practice Speciesism Is America Better Off Being Feared Or Loved?

“I’m President Bush, and I approve this message.” “You don’t have to say that before a speech,” remarked a reporter. “Shut up!” Bush shouted, “This is my speech, and I can do what I want!” He looked at some index cards. “Now what did I want to say… Oh! We are doing good in Iraq. […]

Because of the fighting in Iraq, a huge change in US policy towards Israel that would have produced a week of headlines a few months ago is barely drawing anyone’s notice in the US. Here are the money paragraphs from W’s remarks on the subject… “In an exchange of letters today and in a statement […]

As most of you may have heard, Bin Laden or someone who sound like him if he was killed deader than Uday Hussein back at Tora Bora in 2001, offered a truce to Europe ” if they pull troops out of Islamic countries”. Fortunately, not even the Spanish or French seem to be buying into […]

National Public Radio (NPR) today announced it would acquire all of the assets of the new, but financially-troubled, liberal radio network known as “Air America.” Assets include former comedians Al Franken and Janeane Garafalo, as well as several small bottles of spring water and a full pallet of Mr. Franken’s book, “Lies and the Lying […]

So I’m trying to come up with a new blogger poll and one of the ideas I had (and later discarded) was “If you were on a desert Island, which bloggers (5 male / 5 female) would you want to have along with you”? After thinking about it, here’s who I came up with… — […]

You know what time it is — that’s right, time for more hate mail! We’ll start out with one of my all-time favorites from someone who calls herself “Ms Voltaire”. And if I understand her correctly, I believe she’s saying Saddam has been out of power in Iraq since 1990, but the media has been […]

Former White House CounterTerror advisor Richard Clarke’s new book “Against All Enemies” reveals not only George Bush’s sick obsession with Saddam Hussein, but another twisted obsession of the president’s, as well. “He would get this glazed look in his eyes,” writes Clarke, “and it was like there was no getting through to him, and he […]

COUNSEL DECRIES RICE “BLACK FEMALE PRIVILEGE” Sept. 11 Commission Democratic Counsel Richard Ben-Veniste today blasted National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice for her “condescending arrogance toward male commissioners of no color” during her testimony last week. “As a pasty white middle-aged male lawyer, I was offended by her patronizing tone,” said Ben-Veniste. “Frankly, we are getting […]

Given that we’re more than a year out from the start of the war in Iraq, fighting has flared up recently, and opponents of the war have been trying rewrite history to take advantage of the fact that our intelligence estimates about WMD in Iraq have proven to be inaccurate, it’s important to remind people […]

One other thing that irritated me about the press conference tonight was the idea that Bush should apologize for 9/11. What a load of horse puck! Maybe I just don’t remember it, but I don’t recall any demands for Clinton to apologize for the first WTC attack, for the Oklahoma City bombing, for the Khobar […]

Since violence has flared up in Iraq, John Kerry — among others — has been peddling this line, “Where are the people with the flowers, throwing them in the streets, welcoming the American liberators the way Dick Cheney said they would be?” Well, the Iraqis did welcome their American liberators — when we liberated them. […]

The Drudge Report today revealed a fund raising ad for John Kerry run by the St. Petersburg Democratic Club. Here’s the text of the ad… “Senator Edward Kennedy is absolutely right when he called Iraq “Bush’s Vietnam.” But it’s not only Bush. It’s his whole d@mn Bunch: Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove and Ridge. They’ve […]

After careful analysis, the now-famous President’s Daily Brief (PDB) memo from August 6, 2001 seems to reveal that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency relies heavily on a previously-unknown intelligence source, code-named ‘TV News.’ A clearer picture of the shadowy world of international espionage emerged in the memo which stated: Bin Ladin implied in US television […]

Michele Catalano of A Small Victory seems to be a touch bitter about Wonkette’s meteoric rise to fame, “I’m just wondering – how does a relatively unkown person suddenly become the hottest blogger in the political blogger circle when it seems that her column is just a Gawker for the DC crowd? Not that there’s […]

Rarely has there ever been so much sound and fury over a government document of such little importance as the August 6th memo entitled, “Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US“. This was the memo that produced the “Bush Knew!” media storm a while back, seemingly endless questions to Condi Rice, and insinuations from the […]

A presidential briefing, dated August 6, 2001, and released by the White House yesterday, shows that in 1998 George W. Bush did nothing to respond to the threat of terror attacks from Usama bin Laden’s al Qaeda network. In fact, when correlated with last week’s testimony before the 9/11 Commission by National Security Advisor Condoleezza […]

Most people simply don’t have the patience to wade through 3 hours of testimony put to paper, but since you read RWN, you don’t have to! That’s right, I’ve gathered the most salient quotations from Condi Rice’s testimony for you to peruse right here…

— Back on March 5th I said the following about the new, iron-fisted, indecency rules that are being put in place for radio… “When you raise fines to that level and threaten to revoke licenses you are in effect engaging in “stealth censorship”. By that, I mean that since what is considered to be “indecency” […]

If you ask me, Gregg Easterbrook’s latest column by is one of the best that I’ve seen this year. I’d love to post the whole thing, but this should give you the gist of it… “AN ALTERNATIVE HISTORY: washington, april 9, 2004. A hush fell over the city as George W. Bush today became the […]

After accusations that Vice President Dick Cheney’s January duck hunting trip to Louisiana with Justice Antonin Scalia has compromised the integrity of both men, Condoleezza Rice has spoken out in defense of Cheney and Scalia. Dr. Rice, speaking on CNN’s American Morning regarding a number of matters, said that while she could understand “how it […]

Many opponents of the Bush administration have noted that they’ve attempted to keep the press from taking pics of the flag draped coffins of soldiers who’ve died fighting the war on terrorism. Well look at the caption below on this pic from Yahoo and I think you’ll understand the Bush administration’s position… Soldiers from the […]

Since the Democratic National Committee still advertises at the Daily Kos, wouldn’t it be entertaining and even appropriate to see an exchange like this on let’s say “Hannity & Colmes”… Sean Hannity: Now Terry MacCauliffe, the DNC advertises on a…I believe they call it a blog — called the Daily Kos. There was a big […]

Despite his initial reluctance to allow National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice to testify publicly before the 9/11 commission, U.S. President George Bush today said he would like to see a sequel. “I could watch a couple more hours of that movie,” said Mr. Bush. “Maybe we could do a whole series of them in primetime.” […]
