“…Recommended removing; weak U.S. Attorneys who have been ineffectual managers and prosecutors, chafed against Administration policies, etc…”

it’s the Army surgeon general Lt. Gen. Kevin Kiley who has been ousted from power because of the Walter Reed Medical Center scandal. Acting Army Secretary Pete Geren asked for Kiley’s resignation and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates approved the action. However, in its official announcement, the Army said Kiley had requested retirement. Liars.
father, President George H.W. Bush apparently fainted on a golf course in Palm Springs, California on Sunday and was taken to a nearby hospital where he was treated overnight for dehydration. President Bush’s (the 1st one) spokesperson released a statement today stating, “He‘s fine, he really is fine. He became dehydrated, and he had a fainting spell. He came to right away, but as a precaution, they took him to the hospital and then — much to his dismay — as a precaution, they held him overnight. The doctors released him first thing this morning.”
From The Hotline:
Nebraska Democratic Party Spokesperson:
“I think it is extremely disappointing that Senator Hagel would bring the entire state of Nebraska to a screeching halt by holding an elaborate ceremony to announce absolutely nothing. Nebraskans are tired of waiting for Chuck Hagel to make up his mind. He has been toying with the idea of running for President for several years. Nebraska deserves no less than two full-time representatives in the U.S. Senate. It is time for Chuck Hagel to come to a conclusion – does he want to represent the people of Nebraska – or run for President?”

Chuck Hagel (R-NE), declaring that he is in no way an “anti-war” candidate has just announced in Omaha, Nebraska that he will not announce whether or not he intends to run for President of the United States until later this year. He will keep his options open. This was a very weird press conference and DoubleSpeak will continue to follow the Hagel story as it unfolds.
YouTube is proving to be very troubling for some GOP candidates who continue to “out” their true political stances by way of old video footage of, well, themselves contradicting the positions they currently hold.
We’ve seen it with Governor Mitt Romeny and his positions on abortion and other social issues.
Today’s GOP candidate caught in the YouTube cross-hairs is former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
This video is from a Women’s Coalition for Giuliani event in 1989…Enjoy…
Chuck Hagel (R-NE) is expected to announce in the VERY near future, possibly as early as Monday that he will seek the Republican (or Independent??) nomination for President of the United States. More from National Public Radio.
Another great video of Willard Romney being clear on where he stands on the issues.
Though he will likely be their nominee, it is clear that Willard is a disingenuous, flip-flopping chameleon.
