AP IS NOT A NEWS GATHERING ORGANIZATION. IT IS AN AGENT OF THE LEFT IN THE U.S.

Ramblin' around before I have to leave for the day: Be sure to check out both Captain's Quarters and Patterico for the real story about both Hastert's knowledge of the Foley emails and the deliberate misquoting of Senator Frist's remarks about the Taliban by the AP. Everyone better get hip to the fact that the AP is no longer a news gathering org but a left wing news creating org. Nobody seems to be correcting the false report.

Hastert: several bloggers are calling him a moron, I disagree. I have known about twenty politicians both in Sacramento and D.C., and have found each and every one of them to be extraordinarily bright. The only exception is Barbara Boxer, who stands out for her stupidity. Hastert is a rube, a bumpkin, a country hick, who is not ready for prime time Washington politics. He is a guy out of step with the times and doesn't seem to have a clue regarding modern instant communications and the resulting translucent state of government.
