...praise DeLay?then unindicted in Texas but under fire?and even gave him a ride to Washington on his helicopter, Marine One, and his jet, Air Force One. In his remarks, Bush saluted DeLay's effectiveness, which no one could dispute, but didn't bother to mention his character. That was exactly the point...
...only an alcoholic but "a fool," and even the Independent, the paper politically closest to the Lib Dems, accused Kennedy of having "a trust problem" for having publicly lied for years about his drinking. Lohan, by contrast, is getting sympathetic press coverage for her forthright confessions - not to mention great publicity for her singing career. A double standard? Let's hope so. There are perfectly good reasons to want a party leader not to be a party guy, whereas the public has no important stake in whether an actress's performances are marred - or, for that matter, enhanced - by what...

At the outset, most of Canada's chattering classes shared their PM's view that a grueling 56-day election spanning the holiday period was unnecessary, not to mention an assault on Christmas.

(Or that at least the promos do; the group...
...Sunday was a brooding reverie on external and internal burdens from the drum major instinct. "And every now and then I think about my own death," he told his congregation. He gave fitful instructions for his own funeral service--"tell them not to talk too long"--hoping someone would mention "that Martin Luther King Jr. tried to give his life serving others." The eulogist should omit all his honors and attainments simply to testify perhaps that King tried to love enemies, comfort prisoners, "be right on the war question," and feed the hungry. "Yes, if you want to say that...
