Today we discuss the Detainee bill passed in the House yesterday. The Republicans have a strategy to win in November and it’s dastardly. And please pay attention to the real reasons why Democrats oppose the bill.

Also, Froomkin takes Bush to task for his responses to recent criticism of his foreign policy; Timothy Noah of Slate wonders whether Bush can read; in the wake of a recent interview of Bill Clinton by Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Gallup released a new poll revealing that a majority of Americans blame Bush than Clinton for failing to capture bin Laden; and Mr. Lott, have you ever been threatened by a dog while delivering laundry? Yeah, we think it’s a stupid question too.
