Ah, yes, friendly. It's not like Novak and, say, Wolfowitz, ever crossed swords on Iraq, giving Novak a motive to take the "neocons" down a peg . . .

Or Margo as Economics Correspondent (?):

Treasurer Peter Costello, who won renown in the Dollar Sweets case and whose brother opposes gambling and is some kind of cleric, will bring down the Federal Budget dealing with all of the Commonwealth's expenditures and tax measures in what is thought to be a pitch for votes in a year in which there will be an election owing to the fact that the Constitution's prescription on the necessity of doing so will become operative soon.

Yeah, and then there's that "lie" that Bush told. You know, the one about Iraq trying to obtain uranium in North Africa? The one that this supposed whistleblower has since revealed is in fact.. umm... true.

And I love the "top secret material". What is she babbling about?

Unbelievable. Almost every word of her sentence is a lie, in the sense of a factual statement that she knows or should know is false.

whose revelations of a lie Bush told on WMDs

Bush's statement in the State of the Union state is true as written, and further Wilson supports this statement in his book.

a lie Bush told on WMDs to invade Iraq

Bush made his statement in the State of the Union speech months after he got Congressional approval to invade Iraq (for the second time) and UN approval for the same (for about the umpteenth time).

saw the Bush adminstration leak top secret material about his wife

Well, at worst it was medium secret, and the columnist to whom the leak was made denied that it came from the Bush administration.

to a friendly columnist.

Novak is friendly to Bush the way a shark is friendly to a mackerel.

Ummm... except Ali didn't really throw his medals in the river. He now says he simply lost them and invented the throwing story.

Or is that the point in relation to Margo?

Ummm... except Ali didn't really throw his medals in the river. He now says he simply lost them and invented the throwing story.

And besides, it wasn't the ACTUAL medals, it was just the case they were in - as everyone knows the two terms (case/medal) are completely interchangable, and besides, they weren't his meda...er..cases, they was someone elses that he didn't throw...er...lose.

Find a can worth kicking.

Why, did you break your little bell again? Those don't grow on trees, you know.

Parrots -- take my advice, people, buy a thoroughbred race horse or something less trouble like that.

I was just trying to show a friend that you can pre-order Margo Kingston's new book. I "Googled" it and then started noticing multiple references to Margo in this blog. What's going on? What's the big deal? A blog is a blog. A newspaper is a newspaper. Web Diary is a different animal. Margo has been doing it for four years now. She gives people a fair go. There's even been more than one conservative columnist in the Web Diary World. The success of Web Diary is proven by all the discussion you see of it in this Blog. Sunny and 16 degrees in Stockholm today. Blah, blah, blah, blog, blog, blog.
