MAN, IT'S A BITCH SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER...EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT
Colbert was "mean". Uhh. Yeah. And George Bush isn't for bending the truth about Iraq in order to send thousands of our citizens to their death? It's not hard to see why he was "mean" when you put that fact into context.

Great article laying it all out and leaving nothing out either. Has anyone out here heard of what the Lib's vision of what our country should be? All I have heard and seen from them has been whining and tantrum throwing as demonstrated by the Chappaquidick Diver.

I believe that this "Monarch" Bush, has forgotten that this is a Republic. He and Cheney are working the government like a Monarchy. While he cannot enact laws he has gone about his business circumventing them. More harm has been done to our constitution by his presidency than any other president. It is no wonder that the Democrats will win the presidency and most of the congress in the next couple of elections. Bush and his Religious right supporters have lost the trust of the silent majority and will go down in history as the worst of the worst regimes to run this country. We have seen more corruption and scandle than we can bear. Right now a BJ in the White House looks good in comparison to the BS we have been getting from Bush and his cronies.

FEMA wouldn't let the Red Cross in. People starved to death.
According to FOX News, FEMA wouldn't let people WALK out.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA is in charge of disaster relief, overriding the locals. They failed.

One minor correction: the USS Bataan isn't a hospital ship -- it's an amphibious warfare ship.

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: SHUT YOUR YAP!
People say that you should teach intelligent design in philosphy class not science class. Fair enough. If we do that can we please stop teaching philosophy in science class by claiming that science has an exclusive claim on absolute truth?

You are exactly right. Moreover, anyone in this society who is not aware of the Theory of Evolution and can't make their own mind up about it, either doesn't care or is too stupid to make their mind up. Either way, its not a big deal.
Also, just because something is "science" doesn't mean that it can't be questioned or be repugnant. For example, people did not object to the textbook in the Scopes Monkey Trials just because they taught evolution. The textbooks at issue taught a horrible, racist version eugenics which were all the rage in scientific community in the early 20th Century.

Maybe religous people in this country wouldn't be pushing back with intelligent design if society hadn't spent the last 50 years telling what superstitious hillbillies they all were for believing anything other than what people in lab coats told them to believe. We will keep intelligent design out of schools and in return science can get back in its lane get out of the business of metaphysics. Science is not absolute truth. It is instead a set of theories used to explain empirical data. Damn useful, but nothing more. Science doesn't have to conflict with religion or undercut people's religous beliefs.

BLOOD IS THICKER THAN POLITICS
In a way, what Terry did by going on the Hewitt show reminded me of another former ABC News White House correspondent, Sam Donaldson, who did little to hide his prejudices in public, but at the same time was willing to go in front of conservative crowds and go head-to-head with people like George Will and argue those beliefs, as opposed to making confrontational statements to the president or the White House press secretary de jour and then offering up a wall of silence or defending their beliefs only before sympathetic crowds (one Daniel Rather comes to mind here).
However, I'd be interested to know what your brother's colleagues in the White House press corps felt about Terry's admission that there are some people in key media positions who are stuck in their 1960s hate-the-military mode. Like Robert Wexler's proposal this week to raise Social Security taxes that met with stony silence from his fellow Democratic Party members, I think many in the media feel confessions like that are for internal consumption only, and are not to be voiced in public, and certainly not to a conservative talk show host.
