Media Bytes - Value Voters Edition

By Libby

Crooks and Liars finds rare footage of a politican telling the truth, as it turns out -- sort of. I've read an update at FDL since that says he mischaracterized the memo. It was really a report clearly marked Top Secret and it does leave open the question of why Bob Woodward was cleared to get the information.

Also posting at C&L, Steve Benen finds the latest in incomprehensible excuses for waterboarding along with a video that is not for the squeamish.

On a lighter note, Avedon finds the ultimate method for consciousness raising among the uninformed hoi polloi.

And if you didn't follow the link in my Afghanistan post to Chris at Americablog you missed the photo gallery of the most amazing botanical wonder in Thailand, the Mae Fah Luang Garden .

I look at those photos and think I could be happy living in a little cottage on the grounds and taking care of that garden for the rest of my earthly days.

OT- awesome totally serious quote re mike huckabee at PCF

"i don't want to see some fat ass representing my country. i want someone who takes care of himself. if they aren't willing to do that, then he can't take care of this country.

no modern day presidents have been fat"


note: mike huckabee isn't fat at all. I had jokingly suggested it could be a problem if he regained the weight. very jokingly
