The Boston Globe refers to Charlie Savage as a "staff writer." But judging by the hyper-partisan comments he made on Fox News Channel this afternoon, Savage belongs over on the opinion page.
Interviewed with two other legal reporters by FNC's Martha MacCallum, Savage took these shots at President Bush and his fellow Republicans:
- President Bush is "terrorizing" Americans with the terrorism issue for political gain.
- Speaking of the current rift between the president and Sen. McCain over interrogation rules for suspected terrorists, Savage snidely observed that McCain had been a POW in Vietnam while Bush spent the war "back in Texas."
- When talk turned to the tactics to be used in the current congressional campaign, Savage portrayed Republicans as those slinging the dirt, with Democrats trying to stay above the fray. He asserted that the national Republican line will be "vote Democrat and die," while Republicans will also use their "huge campaign chest" to go after individual Democrats and "dig up dirt on them." He continued: "The Democrats are going to have to face a choice of how to respond to that. . . It's going to be very hard for individual [Dem] candidates not to respond in kind."
Move over, Derrick Z: make room for Charlie!

Roger.... take a deep breath
May 31, 2007 - 02:34 ET by liberal_bug_zapperRoger.... take a deep breath man. Leon is obviously unarmed in a battle of wits. There is no need to resort to petty name calling... stupid liberal is good enough... and true, unlike the other names you used. Don't break NB post rules and get yourself booted.... or at least banned for a while.... we wouldn't want that now.
I understand and empathize with your frustration. Trying to weed through the lies, deceit and sophistry that comes from the left is a daunting task. Even when you completely knock their foolish claims out of the park, the next post, day or week, they make the exact claim that has already been debunked. It's the way they work. They have a limited intellect and they run with what they've got.

Well Leon you were wrong even back then
May 31, 2007 - 01:58 ET by SportPoliticsWell Leon you were wrong even back then.There was an operational relationship and we have the documnets to prove it.
Just because a bunch of you democrats are willing to lie, and force yourlies upon the public, doesn't mean they should be accepted.
In fact I've seen Lesley Stahl display a payment voucher from Saddam Hussein himself paiad to Osama Bin Laden, that she and 60 minutes VERIFIED with the CIA, and declared it so on air.
I cannot help you people when one week absolute proof is in your hands, even broadcast on 60 minutes, and suddenly the very next week, someone like Richard Clark can make a book selling statement and you all suck it up like candy.
Now we're supposed to believe that Saddam who harbored one of the bombers from the WTC 93 incident who was in FACT an Iraqi National Guard of the intel division, and enjoyed his after bombing days under the pay of one of Saddams sons in charge of their intel "shows no link"...
I mean for me to believe you idiots, and indeed for 50% of Americans who still believe in a link to 911, to believe you liars is to be fools.
No matter what is proven and disclosed,you always have some half a**** excuse, and your pathetic 2 year long smear campaign with Joe and Val absolutely proves the depths of depravity and chicanery you traitors will go to in order that your insane goal of proving "Bush lied", which you absolutely have not in any instance yet whatsoever, is something you'll never give up on, no matter how many times you have to spew lies from your lips in your attempt.
