Norm Coleman Shouldn’t Call People Flip Floppers

By Ed Kohler | Mar 28, 2004

Senator Norm Coleman comes across as an even larger hypocrite than usual when he accuses anyone of being a flip-flopper on issues.

Bill Frist’s Ad Hominem Attack FAIL

By Ed Kohler | Mar 27, 2004

It looks like Bill Frist may have cornered himself in his attempt to destroy Clarke’s credibility. You know what’s tough to do? Destroy the credibility of a credible person. Richard Clarke definitely comes across as a credible and bright guy who would not go to press with such an inflamatory book without making sure it [...]

9-11 Intelligence Reflections

By Ed Kohler | Mar 26, 2004
