    I don’t really care for the Captain Ed’s and Powerline Blog’s on the right. If the term ‘Bushbot’ applies to anyone in the blogosphere, it’s these two blogs.

    But at least Ed admitted this:

    “Alberto Gonzales performed poorly as a witness before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, as he usually does. As I pointed out yesterday, his shifting explanations about correcting a misleading statement at a press conference calls into question how he ever got the job in the first place, and whether he has ever learned anything about preparing for testimony.”

    Obviously, the White House failed to give Ed his talking points before he started blogging on Thursday.

    Not to mention, there’s something ironic about Oliver implying that anyone is anybody else’s tool.

    Why so? Nobody but me exercises editorial control over this blog, been that way since 2000.

    What you find on right wing blogs is many death threats against politicians and judges; terrorist threats; hate speech and anti-government anarchist threats.
    So, applying Bill O”Reilly’s logic, you can deduce that Bush and his administration support this criminal behavior.
