Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has written a book. Unfortunately, much of that book tries to justify all that lying the Bush administration did to get us into Iraq. Fortunately, she spends some of the book indulging the public's desire to learn about how everyone in the Bush White House was behind closed doors. Here's what Condi had to say on what went right, what went wrong, and what went weird. More »

— Or so he writes in his memoir Decision Points. Bush also tells Matt Lauer that "the misery in Louisiana affected me deeply as well," but Kanye declaring he "doesn't care about black people" was still a "disgusting moment." More »

Oliver Stone's newest film, W., follows the adult life of our current President, focusing mainly on his rise in politics and the first term of his Presidency. Considering that Dubya has a couple more months to go before he ends his reign over the executive branch, the film may seem a little too eager to immortalize Bush on celluloid. Indeed, without the 20/20 vision of some temporal distance, the film seems half-done. Instead of adding editorial commentary on Bush's life and work, Stone focuses on repeating speeches, meetings, and conferences word-for-word in order to remain faithful to current history. Unfortunately, even an excellent performance from Josh Brolin (as Dubya) can't rescue the film from feeling irrelevant. The collected reviews, after the jump. More »

In a world where registering people to vote constitutes a crime but illegally pressuring your subordinates to fire your brother-in-law doesn't; where the guy who points out that violent threats scare him is stoking racial tensions but the man trying to take advantage of them is just standing up for the common [white] man; and in which the Republican Party will pay for ads slamming Obama while pushing others praising him in the hopes of re-electing a Republican Congressman, there's not a lot of reason for hope. Or, perhaps there is, as it's progress alone that people are noticing all of the bullshit. I'm not really sure, but hope-enthusiast Spencer Ackerman is less unsure than me, which is why I keep asking him back. Our morning conversation, after the jump. More »

We think that Snape isn't evil though. But we have a sneaking suspicion Harry is going to die. And we will be reading it all weekend to find out. No judgments, please.

Maybe if we had not been soooo preoccupied with the anticipation of the results of Anna Nicole Smith's autopsy that have been bating our breaths and keeping us at the edge of our sofas for the past like nineteen weeks, we would have had time to pay attention to this Attorney General Gonzales scandal that is threatening to start to erode at the nation's approval of the ever popular President Bush or something. But we feel smart for even remembering "the Attorney General" and "Gonzales" are the same person! (Remember when the Attorney General was a chick? Yeah, she wasn't very pretty. But still! ) Thankfully, the blogosphere is around to explain this stuff in language we can understand: sororities. According to this blogger who sounds like he pays attention to this stuff, the whole thing is actually just an official Washington version of a scandal we know all too well: that sorority house that evicted the fat girls!

Lady Laura and two other guests showed up at this year's annual White House holiday reception in the same festive bright red getup by Oscar de la Renta. All three looked like mothers-of-the bride at a southern Baptist Christmas wedding. At least Laura had the good sense to slip into something a little more comfortable leaving the two other ladies in red to fight it out for the "Who Wore it Best." http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_340210001.html More »
