...itself was a mistake." It was an appropriate act of contrition, but then-as is his awkward wont-Kerry overreacted and called for the withdrawal of U.S. troops by the end of the year. It was a proposition that garnered all of six votes on the Senate floor when Senate Republicans gleefully submitted Kerry's idea to a vote later in the week...
...week over Iraq policy were in many ways simply political grandstanding. In the Senate, while Democrats were debating amongst themselves a proposal that would call for some kind of graduated troop withdrawal, Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, the No. 2 leader of the Senate Republicans, rushed a proposal to the floor calling for the withdrawal of troops by the end of the year, hoping to expose the split among Democrats.

Peck is also the location of the fashionable Cracco-Peck, a Michelin two-star restaurant run in partnership with...
...convention as the "first date" between the presumptive Presidential candidate and the liberal blogosphere. It was perhaps a infelicitous metaphor, given both the seediness of Las Vegas and the ridiculous excess of the party itself. Reportedly thrown at a cost of $50,000, the gathering made the observation floor of the Stratosphere hotel positively groan from the weight of the sushi tables, ice sculptures and open bars. There was a Blues Brothers cover band (if it is possible to cover a cover band), an Elvis impersonator and, puzzlingly, a chocolate fountain. If you get a chocolate fountain on your first...
