GOOD-BYE, TED STEVENS! “It’s official, and it’s a national tragedy: Ted Stevens has lost his Senate seat to some Democrat, in Alaska. Today, on his 85th birthday, the convicted felon and old white Republican Ted Stevens has been voted out of the office — voted out of office by Alaskans.” [AOL Political Machine]

Ted Stevens has a brand new bag: censoring your series of tubes. MORE »

Sure, we may be living in a police state where some 350,000 people are on a “no fly list” for reasons they aren’t allowed to know, but at least we can laugh at the plight of Catherine Stevens. MORE »

There’s a pretty good li’l blind item in Michael Kinsley’s column this week (thesis: people on the Internet sure are full of themselves MySpace MySpace blog bloggy blog): MORE »

We’re used to seeing the Administration clumsily torn apart by the liberals, but the Wall Street Journal blog has some of the cruelest comments about Bush that we’ve ever seen. Plus, they don’t bring up global warming or civil rights … just plain hatred.

Bush was interviewed by “Mrs. Moneypenny” or whoever over at CNBC. He was asked if he likes to get busy on the Internets. His reply:

Occasionally. One of the things I’ve used on the Google is to pull up maps. It’s very interesting to see that. I forgot the name of the program, but you get the satellite and you can — like, I kind of like to look at the ranch on Google, reminds me of where I want to be sometimes. Yeah, I do it some.

Sure, it’s retarded, but it’s fairly honest for Bush: I would like to be on that land I bought in 1999 when they said I had to be Texan. I kind of like to be very far away from here and this fucking job that I’m always fucking up. Just let me go home, Cheney, please ….

But the comments are savage. We’ll post some, after ye olde jump.
