1. Bush is totally losing it.....

...."The report states that as of July 11, Bush had raised objections to a total of 807 provisions in more than 100 laws, on the grounds that they infringed on his prerogatives."

Great article grassfire!

2. Froomkin is the best "roundup" for news we need to know and...

I'm forever indebted to you "Grasswire" for clueing me into him by giving the link to the site ...way back. :hi:

Froomkin and also Buzzflash are the bestest for News for Dems and Progressives.

3. Putin himself is responsible for the open microphone at G8!

A Calculated Accident at G-8?

Was the old KGB master at it again? A British television station says it has identified the person responsible for that open microphone catching a little unvarnished President Bush at the closing G-8 summit lunch in St. Petersburg. The culprit? Shockingly enough, they finger Russian President Vladimir Putin .

This was the luncheon where Bush, chomping on a piece of bread, issued an expletive, babbled about long flights, bashed U.N. chief Kofi Annan and repeatedly interrupted his little buddy, British prime minister Tony Blair .

The footage on Britain's Channel 4 shows Blair finally spotting and turning off the "telltale red light," and then the film cuts to Putin, grinning about something. A British reporter asked a Putin spokesman about this, but the spokesman insisted the broadcast was "an accident."
