What Did The Democrats Carp About This Week?

If you are not already subscribed to the once per week letter from The Federalist Patriot, do that now. It's really a great conservative digest. Which reminds me, Readers Digest is a conservative publication ideally suited (it's compact size and session-length articles) to bathroom duty.

Anyway here is what I wanted to show you, it was compiled in today's Federalist Patriot:

DEZINFORMATSIA

From the Atlanta-Jazeera Files: "After 23 years at CNN, I have decided to resign in an effort to prevent CNN from being unfairly tarnished by the controversy over conflicting accounts of my recent remarks regarding the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq." --Eason Jordan, resigning from CNN over comments he couldn't help but make again in his resignation statement

"The White House seems to think Social Security was corrupt from the moment it was enacted in 1935. It wants to replace it with private accounts that will fatten the wallets of stockbrokers and put the savings of Americans who didn't inherit vast fortunes at risk." --Maureen Dowd

"The Democrats' current crudeness is a function of their desperation, and the imminent ratification of Howard Dean, the least charming presidential candidate in recent memory, as their party chairman only serves to punctuate the problem." --Joe Klein, Time Magazine

This week's "Purveyor of Classism" Award: "Cuts in programs for the working poor, low income elderly people, people with disabilities. They tend not to have much in the way of lobbyists. They don't give campaign contributions." --CBS's Lee Cowan

"One of the biggest challenges that ever U.S. government has had in the last several decades is trying to figure out North Korea. And when the Koreans said today they had nuclear weapons to defend themselves against the Bush administration, the analysts in Washington and many other countries, scratched their heads and said 'what do the North Koreans want now?' And what has the Bush administration done, if anything, to incite this kind of talk?" --ABC's Peter Jennings **What did the Clinton administration do to make it POSSIBLE?
