iran Amateur video of an Iranian police vehicle plowing into a crowd of protesters has emerged from the recent unrest in Tehran. CNN aired the clip, warning viewers of the graphic nature of the video, which underscores the current level of political chaos and disorder in Iran. Andrew Sullivan recently noted that a jet for Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is on standby, perhaps indicating that regime change might actually be closer than previously thought.

Spell Check:
Purportedly not “Puportedly”
Protester not “Prostester”

…perhaps indicating that regime change might actually be closer than previously thought.

We can only hope.

However, I (for one) would be worried about our countries reaction to such an act. We’ve already seen the WH reluctant to praise protesters… and they’ve been on the frontline in getting Manuel Zelaya back into Honduras. I’d be worried that we wouldn’t be as thankful or supportive as we should be… and that could be equally damaging.

I agree the comment of the different countries can make us worried about. Let’s see what happen next as there is nothing to do without wait for it. villas bali

Karl Rove was on Meet The Press this morning, discussing Fox News' (where he is a political analyst) coverage of the Obama administration. Have they been as fair to the president as other networks? Even more so, claims the former senior adviser to George W. Bush, especially since some news networks "has opinion people...and those same people playing the part of your news delivery...which would not happen at Fox.” Guess which network he was talking about!

Lindsey Graham On WH ‘Spin’: Americans Are “Tired Of This Crap”

by Colby Hall | 1:26 pm, Sunday

Well, regardless of one's position on the current state health care reform, there should be some joy in that its finally coming to an end, evidenced by the pitched rhetoric on both sides of the debate. Earlier today we saw WH Press Secretary Robert Gibbs confident claim of having the votes to pass a bill in the house. And now we see Senator Lindsey Graham present the yin to that yang during an interview with host Jake Tapper on This Week.
