This saucy minx is Becky Miller, the mayor of Carrollton, Texas, a Dallas suburb with 116,000 wonderful inhabitants. According to herself, she has dated and sung with all sorts of popular musicians from the 1970s, and her brother once died in Vietnam. But perhaps her crowning achievement is that she made all of this stuff up.

Hillary Clinton just gave a speech
This thrilling Hillary-In-Bosnia video is apparently from the same people who make the "Obama Girl" videos, and now we love them because this is awesome. But we don't see Sinbad anywhere, so it must be a fake. [YouTube]
The liberal communist League of Conservation Voters yesterday gave special-interest lackey John McCain the worst environmental record rating in the entire Congress. This is not surprising. Despite his early support for global warming (fixing it, that is), John McCain is the biggest corporate sell-out since New York City in the Giuliani years. When WALNUTS! isn’t getting his old man dentures flossed by a GE executive vice president, or cheating on his wife with any number of sexy lobbyist whores, he is finding innocent mango trees and chopping them down for bloodsport, while killing Marxist pandas. Then again, he was tortured in the war!! [The Trail]
Everybody knows that when Jesus Christ returns to Missouri to begin His thousand-year reign on Earth — Oh, what’s that? You didn’t know Jesus is returning to Missouri? Well, there’s probably a lot you don’t know about the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints (“The Mormons!”). All religions are filled with strange and crazy things, and Mormonism is no exception. One of the main parts of the faith is that Jesus will return to Earth, but in Missouri — the location of the Garden of Eden, and the site where Jesus will build the New Jerusalem called City Zion, after he gets back.

We very much appreciate Dan Froomkin paying attention to Bush speeches so we don’t have to. In explaining why he doesn’t care if American troops all die of old age in Iraq, Bush said this to his seven remaining supporters yesterday:“I talk to a lot of families who have got a loved one in Iraq or Afghanistan, or anywhere else in this global war on terror, and they are in constant communication with their loved one. That’s amazing, isn’t it. You’ve got a kid in Iraq who is emailing mom daily, talking about the realities of what he or she sees. Information is moving — you know, nightly news is one way, of course, but it’s also moving through the blogosphere and through the Internets.”Extra not-funny part: This is the same “commander guy” whose Army just “ordered soldiers to stop posting to blogs or sending personal e-mail messages, without first clearing the content with a superior officer.” More »
While Alberto Gonzales lisped and lied to the Senate last week, a brave former Marine kept track of each “I don’t recall” that Gonzo squeaked out. And a fallen nation swooned.

Caught repeatedly telling obvious lies about the nightmare situation in Iraq, Senator John WALNUTS! McCain today argued that he was only talking about the virtual fantasy version of Iraq in the popular online game Second Life.

The job of the White House press secretary is to lie about what the president is doing and cover up what the administration has already done. It’s not an easy job, which is why so many spokesmen have recently quit to spend more time with Andy Card’s family.

One of the last rats to abandon the sinking, burning ship, Tony Blair is set to announce 2,600 of the British troops in Iraq are coming home, leaving just 4,100 that MoD officials say should be mostly home later this year.

Liberal blogs are going crazy with joy over the utterly unsurprising snapshot of Jack Abramoff and George W. Bush that somebody posted somewhere on the Internets.
