Pop the champagne, toss some confetti, and cancel your plane ticket to Canada…THE DEMOCRATS HAVE WON!
Wait, what? Huh? Oh!
That’s just CNN being stupid.

I think we’ve figured out the newest talking point for the Republican Party on Iraq. Instead of engaging in legitimate debate regarding the failed war in Iraq, Republicans have now been told to ask whoever they’re speaking to a simple question:
“Do you want to win the war in Iraq?”
That’s right, there will be no more debate on the war. Either you believe we should “stay the course” and continue to lose brave American lives and countless number of innocent Iraqi civilian life OR you want to lose the war.
Listen to two Republicans say the exact same line on the war!

Kyra Phillips, a CNN reporter, was on the job today in New Orleans covering Bush’s trip. During his speech, Phillips apparently went to use the restroom and left her live mic on! Yes, that’s right. Her entire conversation was picked-up by CNN and all of its viewers as the President was delivering remarks:
Transcript courtesy of Wonkette:
We’re working on a rough transcription, but until we finish it, just enjoy this video of Kyra Phillips chatting, seemingly in the bathroom, with an unidentified co-worker (Daryn Kagan?) while Bush blabs about levees or something.
Update: In case you’re unclear on what you’re hearing, some of the better bits are written out after the jump. As always, we welcome corrections and better interpretations.
Highlights: The clip starts with what sounds like “ASSHOLES.” Then Kyra talks about, presumably, a boy of some sort: “No ego… you don’t understand., just a really passionate, compassionate human being. And they exist! They do exist. They’re hard to find—”
COWORKER: “Yep.”
KYRA: “But they… are out there.”Thankfully, “Mom” seems to approve (“good vibe”)
Then, Kyra again: “Of course brothers hafta be, you know, protective. [ZIP] Except for mine. I gotta be protective of him. Ugh, yeah. He’s married, three kids, but his wife is just a control freak.”
Then the best part:
WOMAN: Kyra—
KYRA: Yeah baby—
WOMAN: Your mic is on.
ANCHOR: All right, we’ve been listening in to…

According to a recent survey by CNN’s pollsters, Wisconsin is the “most” average state in the Union in terms of race, income, and other factors.
This may be true according to some sprinkling of data courtesy of the U.S. Census Bureau. But with its proud Germanic heritage, delicious cheeses and microbrews, and its breathtaking state capital, America’s Dairyland is anything but typical or boring.
Too bad America’s politics aren’t more like Wisconsin’s; Al Gore won a narrow victory in 2000, as did John Kerry in 2004.

Can you spot the sentence? How does one become leader of the most deliberative (hah!) parliamentary body in the world when one can’t form a complete sentence? Transcript from Raw Story:
O’Brien defended CNN, “We are covering but I think there is — a lot of what you say there — Americans are not hearing that particular message. As the majority leader, isn’t that part of your job?”
Frist replied, “Well, you know, it’s part of my job and your job and your whole coming into this was, again, saying [from] Harry Reid that we are spending all of our time on marriage — which is important. That we’re spending all of the time on flag without mentioning what we’ve done of the floor for six weeks. Iraq, the war on terror, making you safer… where’s your coverage of that? What you do is concentrate on things that are spun to you from the other side of the aisle and that’s why that message doesn’t get out.”

Cafferty: We all hope nothing happens to Arlen Specter, the Republican head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, cause he might be all that stands between us and a full blown dictatorship in this country. He’s vowed to question these phone company executives about volunteering to provide the government with my telephone records, and yours, and tens of millions of other Americans.
Shortly after 9/11, AT&T, Verizon, and BellSouth began providing the super-secret NSA with information on phone calls of millions of our citizens, all part of the War on Terror, President Bush says. Why don’t you go find Osama bin Laden, and seal the country’s borders, and start inspecting the containers that come into our ports?
The President rushed out this morning in the wake of this front page story in USA Today and declared the government is doing nothing wrong, and all this is just fine. Is it? Is it legal? Then why did the Justice Department suddenly drop its investigation of the warrantless spying on citizens because the NSA said Justice Department lawyers didn’t have the necessary security clearance to do the investigation. Read that sentence again. A secret government agency has told our Justice Department that it’s not allowed to investigate it. And the Justice Department just says ok and drops the whole thing. We’re in some serious trouble, boys and girls”
