Some links you may have already seen

They are the popular blogs, and for a reason: They are good.

A long day of travel has me down, not out yet. Rather than play catch up, I'll let these guys speak it:
-Wonkette has the of memos from FOX News chief John Moody released by the guys who made Outfoxed. Here's a taste:

The events in Iraq Tuesday are going to be the top story, unless and until something else (or worse) happens. Err on the side of doing too much Iraq rather than not enough. Do not fall into the easy trap of mourning the loss of US lives and asking out loud why are we there?

-The Poor Man has some words on Seymour Hirsh's speech to the NAACP:

Seymour Hersh says the US government has videotapes of boys being sodomized at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

"The worst is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking," the reporter told an ACLU convention last week.

NPR had a news story on the air around the time I started blogging, probaly a little before that featured some audio of this, I think. I'll take a look for it if I can.
-The Daily Howler goes after the Republican spin machine and their claim that Kerry didn't support thr troops. Well, he lets Representative Adam Smith (D-Wa) do it.

SMITH: It is absolutely wrong to say that John Kerry wants the troops to not have funds.
He voted against a version of the funding for the troops. He made it clear that there were other versions that he supported. The president himself said that if the funding package was different—if, for instance, it included loans; if, for instance, it included some additional funding for our National Guardsmen in terms of benefits—the president said he would veto it.

-Adam Mordecai at Change for America let's Rick Santorum have it for his latest remarks:

"I would argue that the future of our country hangs in the balance because the future of marriage hangs in the balance," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a leader in the fight to approve the measure. "Isn't that the ultimate homeland security, standing up and defending marriage?"

Uh, no. Let Adam explain why.
-And finally, The Daily Kos has a quote from John Edwards on the difference between Blair and Bush:

(Edwards)"...there was an interesting response from their Prime Minster. Tony Blair didn't run from the reform, he didn't try to not acknowledge it. Instead, what Tony Blair said was, I take full responsibility for the mistakes. It's because he understands what leadership is."

That should tide you all over until tomorrow.
