Bush is criticizing McCain's critics for bringing up McCain's hypocrisy involving lobbying on the behalf of a McCain campaign contributor.
Of course, the loudest critic of McCain's lobbying effort on behalf of that very same campaign contributor in 2000 was none other than ... George Bush. Yep. The Republican Doubletalk Express keeps rolling on.

Parts of "60 Minutes" Broadcast Blocked in Alabama...
"Soviet America
Now, let me tell you what has been going on. As 60 Minutes was putting its show together, the White House put pressure on CBS -- the parent company -- to kill the show. Over the last few days, as word got out that the 60 Minutes show would air tonight, Karl Rove's associates began planting defamatory stories about journalists working on this story (see example here) and attacking the whistle-blower who came forward, Dana Jill Simpson. If you recall, Ms. Simpson testified, under oath, to Congress about Karl Rove's involvement in politicizing the DOJ. What you may not know, however, is that her house mysteriously caught fire and she was run off the road in the weeks leading up to her testimony.
What you may also not know is that Governor Siegelman's house was broken into twice during his trial as was his attorney's office.
Yesterday, the attacks on Simpson and journalists increased with a series of emails from the Alabama GOP. See Here.
Tonight was something truly unseen in US history. During the 60 Minutes broadcast and ONLY during the Don Siegelman portion -- the screen went black for Huntsville residents and Mobile residents. There are other reports of other locations, but I have not yet confirmed those. In Florida, a series of strange ads were running about the FISA bill and how Democrats are not tough on terrorism, apparently during the 60 Minutes hour and also right before 60 Minutes, but not after (still trying to confirm when the ads stopped running)."

From the page: "Drug Companies Spend Almost $60 Billion On Marketing, $30 Billion On Research. What?
Drug companies spend twice as much marketing their drugs as they do researching them. Hey, all those tv ads don't come cheap. Neither does bribing doctors to prescribe stuff you might or might not need.

Your tax dollars in action. The ~ $600 million US Embassy in Iraq. Annual operating expenses for this monument to excess (occupies an area the size of 80 football fields) are estimated at $ 1.2 billion. If that estimate keeps to the pattern established by other Iraq war related estimates it should come in at under 15-30 billion a year. :) Oh well, at least it isn't money being blown providing health care to poor kids in America.

BACTERIAL BONANZA: Bacterial cells outnumber human ones in the human body, and provide a host of benefits.
"Humans Carry More Bacterial Cells than Human Ones
You are more bacteria than you are you, according to the latest body census
By Melinda Wenner
We compulsively wash our hands, spray our countertops and grimace when someone sneezes near us--in fact, we do everything we can to avoid unnecessary encounters with the germ world. But the truth is we are practically walking petri dishes, rife with bacterial colonies from our skin to the deepest recesses of our guts.
All the bacteria living inside you would fill a half-gallon jug; there are 10 times more bacterial cells in your body than human cells, according to Carolyn Bohach, a microbiologist at the University of Idaho (U.I.), along with other estimates from scientific studies. (Despite their vast numbers, bacteria don't take up that much space because bacteria are far smaller than human cells.) Although that sounds pretty gross, it's actually a very good thing."

"Spray-On Solar-Power Cells Are True Breakthrough!
Stefan Lovgren
for National Geographic News
January 14, 2005
Scientists have invented a plastic solar cell that can turn the sun's power into electrical energy, even on a cloudy day.
The plastic material uses nanotechnology and contains the first solar cells able to harness the sun's invisible, infrared rays. The breakthrough has led theorists to predict that plastic solar cells could one day become five times more efficient than current solar cell technology."
