Sunday Show Roundup: Appeaser Teaser: Gen. Election Preview
Your Daily Politics Video Blog: The general election matchup between John McCain and Barack Obama received a symbolic champagne bottle smash against the hull last week when President Bush implicitly attacked Barack Obama's foreign policy as appeasement during a speech in Jerusalem. Obama fired back, McCain jumped in, and the ship was off and sailing.
Unfit to Serve
Your Daily Politics Video Blog: The gaffes are the least of it. In today's episode of TPMtv, we discuss why John McCain's poor grasp of foreign policy and military strategy makes him a dangerous choice for the role of commender-in-chief.
Sean Hannity and Heraldo Rivera want war, or at least they wish that the recent incident in the Straight of Hormuz had gone violent. "I would have blown those ships right out of the water!" And the latest conclusion about Iran: "They're just jerks trying to pull our chain!"
On Sunday there was a stand off between American warships and Iranian speedboats. The US released video footage as evidence of the incident, and Iran declared today that the US video is 'fabricated.'
Watch the video here:
As you can hear, an Iranian voice says, "I am coming at you, you will explode."
Bush called the Sunday incident "provocative" and said it was a "dangerous situation" that should not have happened.
The standoff occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, a major oil shipping route....
Huckabee's Theology Degree A Little Less than Real [WND] Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee told the Christian Broadcasting Network he had a theology degree, he told voters in Iowa he had a theology degree, he repeated the claim in last month's CNN YouTube debate ... but, his campaign now says, it was not true.

No Nukes For You!
Are you an Iran war hawk dismayed by the recent National Intelligence Estimate revealing that Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program in 2003? Don't be sad. Now you can take a trip down saber-rattling lane with this wistful recap of some of the rhetorical highlights of those heady pre-NIE days.
Sy Hersch told Wolf Blitzer Tuesday that the Bush Administration has long known what the outcome of the NIE would be -but proceeded with serious sanctions and military threats anyway. And that's a course that the WH clearly intends to still see through; while it might seem a novel concept - responsibility and accountability - it seems like this would be a good opportunity for Bush to actually apologize. "Sorry, Dinny, I was a little off..."
So we're left to conclude that W knows...
Inside the Iran Bamboozle
At the moment the president and his advisors are trying to explain how the president went on hyping the Iran nuclear weapons program for months after he got the word it had been shut down. So far the explanations have been pretty weak. Missed the on-camera bamboozling from Bush and his national security advisor? See it right now in today's episode of TPMtv.
For weeks now, the Huckabee thread of the campaign narrative has been that the stronger he gets, the more intense the scrutiny he’ll face from the press and his republican rivals.
Now that he’s pulled ahead in Iowa, the obvious tactic—and it ain’t hard—is to portray Huck as being that kid who runs for class president by being real nice to everyone and making a good natured ass of himself when necessary.
