Republicans, Facts and Iraq

I just had a good laugh at the expense of Republican Howard Kaloogian who's running to replace the disgraced Duke Cunningham (down in my parent's area, I might add; how well I know some of the political nonsense of that part of San Diego County). To follow the story, go to Talking Points Memo and scroll down to the March 28, 2006 entry at 11:10 P.M. that begins, "Okay, this is good for a laugh on a slow night...." Then work your way up through Josh Marshall's posts as poor Kaloogian is chased down the halls of the internet until he finally admits the photo has nothing to do with Baghdad!

Republicans ought to remember Joe Friday's words from the old TV series Dragnet: "Just the facts, ma'am."
