Sam's American Hot Sheet for Wednesday

Tim Graham comments at NewsBusters about bigoted, one-sided reporting on illegal immigration in The Washington Post. Graham paints the article as "another set of sympathetic portraits of hard-working Latinos who weep on street curbs over how they're hated by the Angry Caucasian Menace," and points out that anti-illegal immigration advocates are mentioned only in passing.

He hasn't been in office for nearly 35 years and been dead for over 10 but apparently ABC News thinks it's news that Richard Nixon thought that now Presidential candidate and then thirty-something Watergate prosecutor Fred Thompson was "dumb as hell."

There may be blood in the water surrounding the re-election prospects of Alaska's antique GOP Senator, Ted Stevens. Stevens who has been controversial recently for his pork barrel bridge to nowhere and other corruption allegations is considered vulnerable on both his right and left flank. The leading Democratic contender is 45 year old Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich and on the Republican side is ever popular Alaska Governor Sarah Palin - though a number of folks are boosting the attractive, tough fisted 43 year old as a potential GOP Vice Presidential nominee.
