Join me with the biggest names in Talk Radio tonight on the Factor as Bill O'Reilly asks us about what's fair, what's not in politics ..and to risk it all with election predictions!

UPDATE: Taping complete.

O'Reilly focused on what is fair when attacking politicans--is there a line to be crossed?

The answer is yes, there's a line. But, like pornography, you know it when you see it in a liberal politican.

A special edition of the Factor will air at 11:00 p.m. eastern time, 8:00 p.m. Pacific. 

My organization, Move America Forward, denounces the factual reporting errors by New York Times in 'vets as killers' storyline.

This story is racing across the blogosphere.

The Times needs to issue an immediate retraction. 

Ugh. My two least favorite candidates are pulling ahead in the GOP race (so far.)

"Moderate" McCain and "Conservative" Huckabee.

I try to comfort myself with the knowledge that it's the New York Times and CBS, ABC, WaPo, but other national polls are showing pretty much the same trend.

On Sunday The New York Times editorialized:  

Mr. Bush has nothing to show in the way of political progress, which is even more important for ending the war.… Mr. Bush’s troop buildup was sold as a way to buy Iraqi politicians breathing room to finally address the tensions driving sectarian violence, including an equitable division of oil wealth and strategies to bring more Baathists and Sunnis into the Shiite-led government. Those goals have not been met, and the administration has virtually abandoned them.

On Sunday The New York Times reported:

BAGHDAD — The Iraqi Parliament passed a bill on Saturday that would allow some former officials from Saddam Hussein’s party to fill government positions but would impose a strict ban on others. The legislation is the first of the major so-called political benchmark measures to pass after months of American pressure for progress… President Bush, traveling in Kuwait and Bahrain on Saturday, praised the vote, calling it “an important step toward reconciliation.”
