GOP candidates seem to have foot in mouth disease when it comes to the US invasion of Iraq. That's one of the things Nicole discusses with media trainer/strategist Joel Silberman in the first hour.

Another snark-filled guest post by the one, the only Will Durst: PROXY REMATCH Might want to stuff your pants pockets with sand and hang onto the rail as the ship of state lurches towards the distinct possibility that the election to next command the helm will be between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton. The brother versus the wife. Sounds like a probate lawsuit. This promises to be a fabulous development for comedians everywhere, precipitating the resurrection of all our 1992 Bush/ Clinton material. It’s the green thing to do. Recycling meets nostalgia. Together again for the very first time. A rematch [...]

We so owe Garry Trudeau. Who else has been so consistently consistent when it comes to skewering the Bushes and nailing their collective essence both visually and written with such exquisite precision? If the truth hurts, then this must be excruciating for W, Jebby, Poppy, and Babs. You know, kind of like the pain they've put the rest of us through for decades: Fraudulent wars, economic ruin, torture, you name it. And that's just George W... Don't even get me started on John Ellis (AKA "Jeb") "Privatization R Us" Bush or Barbara "They're underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for [...]
