Quick take headlines: pretty always wins?
Obama to Edwards: "aren't you cute" ... I'm guessing Edwards' reply would probably rhyme with "bite me" ... oh, okay, it WOULD BE "bit me..."

Meanwhile, Barack and Hillary get a bit hung up on the issue of the morality of gay lifestyles.

And as if it wasn't enough for Democrats to have to watch out for the real Fox News and Bill O'Reilly, now, apparently, they have to beware of the fake one as well...

The Senate's Republican minority beats back yet another attempt to craft an Iraq pullout plan, thanks to the Bush-backing votes of Democratoc Sematprs Nelson (Nebraska) and Pryor (Arkansas) and the perennial Bushophile, Joe Lieberman. On an up note, Senator Gordon Smith of Oregon voted with the Dems. Maybe we could do a trade -- give us Smith and hand "Shuck 'n Joe" over to the GOP.

Meanwhile, the Senate, by an 86-16 vote, passed a resolution pledging not to cut off funds for the war. Only 16 Senators voted against the resolution.

Clearly, despite the big win last November, the Dems simply do not have the votes to stop this surge, let alone the war. The answer: get rid of more Republican Senators next election day (a Lieberman recall wouldn't hurt, either...)

Tomorrow, Valerie Plame takes her turn in the witness chair before Henry Waxman's House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

A new poll finds that how much you like George W. Bush depends largely on how much money you have. Not surprising.

Meanwhile in Africa, Zimbabwe's Dictator de jeur, Robert Mugabe gives his critics the finger.

And surprise! There's some skepticism out there regarding the Bush administration's Khalid Sheikh Mohammed war on terror windfall.
