Monday Morning Blog Roundup: Oscars, New Iran-Contra Scandal?
By Lowell | February 26, 2007
*Taylor Marsh comments on the Academy Award for “An Inconvenient Truth,” the documentary about global warming starring Al Gore:
Gore is not a perfect politician by any estimation, but he has the passion about an issue that’s so important, plus the intelligence on foreign policy and military matters that’s simply unquestioned. He would make the Democratic field very nervous if he entered and he’d wipe the Republicans out. He’d make me ecstatic. But I just don’t think he will. His life is very good right now. But it’s not impossible or at least I’m holding the door open for him, even if he never walks through it. A girl can dream.
*Several bloggers comment on a report by Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker regarding “an effort by the Bush administration to stem the growth of Shiite influence in the Middle East (specifically the Iranian government and Hezbollah in Lebanon) by funding violent Sunni groups.” See Think Progress, Taylor Marsh on the “New Sunni-Shiite Cold War,” and Talk Left on what it calls “essential reading,” and Crooks and Liars on “the echos of Iran Contra.”
*Jerome Armstrong has some thoughts on the latest MYDD presidential poll, which has Obama leading the Democratic field at 29.9%, and Hillary Clinton at just 3.2% of the vote
*Last but not least, check out MyDD on Blog Talk Radio - the show is archived here. Also, for a preview of the upcoming Virginia elections season - all seats in the state’s General Assembly are up for grabs in a state that’s becoming more “purple” every day - see here.
