Vice
I expected cheap shots and lies from liberals and they unloaded bundles in Vice, their movie about me. Right away they gleefully recalled I had a couple of drunk driving arrests as a young man and dropped out of Yale to repair power lines and almost got dumped by my fiancée, Lynne. At least they […]
Trump Interviews Brett Kavanaugh
My White House bed is very lonely. Fortunately, I’m asleep and dreaming about one of my most profound duties as president: nominating a Supreme Court justice. In eight years Clinton, Bush, and Obama each only got to select two. In my year and a half I’m already considering my second pick, and I really like […]

Chris Kyle Reloads
I’d like to thank Clint Eastwood for making a movie about me and being so nice to my wife and kids, but I want to correct the impression he gives in his column, as well as in American Sniper, that I was a weak man tortured because I killed so many people. That ain’t so. […]

Eastwood Battles American Snipers
I usually don’t spend much time arguing with critics of my movies and I’m not going to today. I’ll just refute those who accuse me of glorifying war or, at minimum, celebrating a man they scream online was a “psychopathic killer.” Listen, I’m not trying to transform Chris Kyle, the American Sniper who killed more […]

Ahmadinejad and Bush Spar at the United Nations
In a startling (and heretofore unreported) miscalculation in security planning last week at the United Nations in New York, secret service agents led a rapidly-departing President George W. Bush right into the exit path of the man he most loves to talk about but least wants to talk to, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. President […]

Letter to President Bush: You Rose from the Canvas
Dear President Bush, It’s astonishing what preceded your comeback. First, you got your ears boxed the week before by a debating opponent who reduced you to a series of inane and lethargic utterances. Then you received another public report emphasizing your error in asserting that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. At the same time […]

Take Note, Security Moms: Kerry Manhandles Bush in First Debate
Many folks from all points on the political spectrum had begun conceding the election to our robust and resolute warrior-president. They had to. The polls were revealing the most horrifying perception of John Kerry. Married middle class white women, whose support he’d been counting on, had decided he couldn’t protect them as well as George […]

Bush and Balloons in the Garden
I had to be careful watching the political love-fest last Thursday night at the Republican National Convention in Madison Square Garden. I almost got converted. In fact, they actually enchanted me. There was Tommy Franks, the now retired general who led the conquest of an already ravaged Iraq, looking sharp in an orange tie and […]

Cool Cat Bush Improves Position
The polls say ninety percent of the people are already firm about who they’re going to vote for. And many of them made choices based not so much on the economy or the war in Iraq but on the far more mundane, and critical, determination of who’s the cutest and who’s the coolest. When the […]

Saddam Back on Stage as Insurgency Grows
The man’s a bona fide survivor, isn’t he? Hundreds of thousands of his victims inside and outside Iraq are dead. His sons are dead. Thousands of people mired in the mess he left have recently died. But Saddam Hussein lives on. He’s harder to kill than a cockroach in the deepest crevice, more difficult to […]

Surgery on Iraq
Let’s cut the bullshit – the stuff that so often comes from the mouths of leaders everywhere – and deal with some facts: The Bush administration repeatedly lied about the capabilities and intentions of Iraq to do harm to the United States. The Bush administration was internationally condemned for even contemplating an attack on a […]
The Right Starts to Collapse on Bush
I don’t listen long to conservative radio talk shows. That would be like lingering at peep shows. But I can’t tell you about something said during these sermons unless I concede I listen a little. I usually don’t do so on purpose, of course. While searching for rationality, I accidentally press a button leading to […]

The Howard Dean Roar
I’ve got to start watching more TV. I missed Howard Dean’s punching and teeth clenching while he roared he was going to vanquish a long list of states. Unfortunately for Dean, he sounded like he envisioned an advance similar to General Sherman’s en route to Atlanta. By the time he finished that throat ripping “Yeeeaaaaaahhhh,” […]
