I'm a little late on this one. Our Dear Leader was
rebuffed in a few of his security demands to the British Home Ministry. Among them:
- Shut down the London Tube system
- Allow US fighters and helicopter gunships to patrol London airspace
- Grant diplomatic immunity to all US snipers
- Turn London security over to the US Army
- Let the secret service carry around one of
these
He did, however, secure the services of
16,000 British police deployed around the country for his protection. Recall this is his security arrangement when he goes to visit our
ally.

Headline:
BLAIR'S VICIOUS ATTACK ON BUSH'S PARTY. OK, so maybe
The Mirror is more
National Enquirer than
Philadelphia Inquirer, but Murdoch rag
The Sun, which Dubya himself granted an
interview to, is somewhere along the lines of the
Weekly World News.

Official White House Statement:
"President Defends Sanctity of Marriage". He goes on to excoriate the Massachussetts Supreme Court for violating this "sacred institution" by
declaring that the state must grant civil marraiges to straight
or couples to comply with the equal protection clause of the Massachussetts State Constitution. Funny, I'm missing the part where George W. Bush gets
any freaking say in who Massachussetts allows to get married.

Atrios points out a minor error in an AP article:
"CORRECTION: Because of an editing error, this story misattributed a quote from the speaker on an audiotape purportedly of Saddam Hussein as coming from Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota."

Caption under a photo in the Caravan for Democracy (a US-based pro-Israel group) newsletter: "An anti-Israel activist protests as Israel activists promote Israel". Yeah, well, maybe those "Israel activists" need to hire a better writer or something.
