In a 'fair and balanced' media (if such a thing every existed) the story of the Bush Campaign's (remember, we don't use the term Administration around here) lying (or stretching the facts, if you prefer that phrase) about the reasons for our invasion of Iraq would still be getting at least some airplay. Naturally, those in charge of such things would prefer coverage of the California recall 24/7, so we can put such unpleasantness involving G.W. behind us.

A glance at the international press on the other hand will show us that George's pal, Tony Blair is coming uncomfortably close to having to step down or at least face a vote of 'confidence' in Parliament. Today I found this item in the Straits Times of Australia. Seems that the other member of our 'coalition', namely Austrailan Prime Minister John Howard may have also allowed his staff to 'sex up' the information on Iraq.

Like his father before him, perhaps poor George was 'out of the loop' when all these things were done. If that's the case maybe he should follow his father into retirement come November of 2004.

Just one guys 'fair and balanced' opinion, of course! :-)
