Frank J writes another classic In My World:

I don't know who's idea it was that the White House should regularly answer questions from people much dumber than the average American, but this is obviously a failed concept.

President Bush recently fired 8 US attorneys, which he is completely entitled to do, and the mainstream media (MSM) won't shut up about it. Worse, the Republicans can't seem to stop apologizing.

Concurrently, Dianne Feinstein has resigned as chairperson and ranking member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee where she served for six years, during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum's ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.

Feinstein abandoned MILCON as her ethical problems were surfacing in the media, and as it was becoming clear that her subcommittee left grievously wounded veterans to rot while her family was profiting from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. It turns out that Blum also holds large investments in companies that were selling medical equipment and supplies and real estate leases—often without the benefit of competitive bidding—to the Department of Veterans Affairs, even as the system of medical care for veterans collapsed on his wife’s watch.

But the MSM hasn't said a word — and neither have the Republicans!

I can understand silence from the networks, news services and newspapers when a Democrat is caught at corruption; they're on the same side. But why aren't the Republicans saying anything?

WuzzaDem: New Sub-Clause Discovered in U.S. Constitution

Michelle Malkin writes:

In between breathless condemnations of the Bush administration for stifling its free speech, endless court filings demanding classified and sensitive information from the military and intelligence agencies, and self-pitying media industry confabs bemoaning their hemorrhaging circulations (with the exception of the New York Post), my colleagues in the American media don't have much to time to give thanks. Allow me:

Give thanks we don't live in Bangladesh, where you can be put on trial for writing columns supporting Israel and condemning Muslim violence….

Give thanks we don't live in Egypt, where bloggers have been detained by the government for criticizing Islam and exposing the apathy of Cairo police to sexual harassment of women….

Give thanks we don't live in Sudan, where editors can lose their heads for not kowtowing to the government line….

And CNN producers let her talk over President Bush's speech!

A total of eight children under the age of twelve killed in the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Why is it that we never see their faces, but keep seeing the faked photos of civilian casualties in Iraq?

Scroll past the entertainment and see their names at AYC.

Oh, dear Lord. A jihadist plot, possibly of global scale, possibly imminent, unravels in Canada…and what do law enforcement officials do? Try to whitewash the obvious jihadi profile from the public's mind.

It’s also interesting that this happened at almost the same time as the major bust in London. So what’s cooking here in the United States?”

[F]or some reason, Reuters didn’t see fit to mention … whether the arrested terrorists are Muslims, or Arabs, or Islamists, or Al Qaeda members/sympathizers, or… anything. From the Reuters article, you wouldn’t know whether these guys are Osama bin Laden’s band of brothers, or a band of angry rednecks from Saskatchewan. Well, actually, maybe we do sorta know, because if they were angry rednecks from Saskatchewan, I’m sure Reuters would have told us that.
