wow, he remembered he's listed as Republican for once McCain criticizes Clinton on N. KoreaSOUTHFIELD, Mich. - Republican Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) on Tuesday accused former President Clinton, the husband of his potential 2008 White House rival, of failing to act in the 1990s to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons.
"I would remind Senator (Hillary) Clinton and other Democrats critical of the Bush administration's policies that the framework agreement her husband's administration negotiated was a failure," McCain said at a news conference after a campaign appearance for Republican Senate candidate Mike Bouchard.
"The Koreans received millions and millions in energy assistance. They've diverted millions of dollars of food assistance to their military," he said. Frankly, I really don't care which administration is getting blamed for this. Especially since we're not gonna be allowed to simply kill Kim and the regime that's got his people eating bark and following their government pamphlet on how to eat grass. (Dad served in South Korea for a year, so he saw it.) It's just something else to watch drag along in the UN for another few years. I'm really posting this because of this line: The criticism took a presidential campaign turn on Tuesday as McCain, the Arizona senator considered the Republican front-runner for the party nod In what strange alternate universe are they living in? I doubt he'd win any primaries. | | 6:19a |
cool Bahamas orders man lashed with cat-o'-nine-tailsNASSAU, Bahamas (Reuters) - A man convicted of trying to rape an 83-year-old woman was sentenced to eight lashes with a cat-o'-nine-tails, a punishment used by the British Navy in the 18th century and reinstated in the Bahamas 15 years ago.
Newbold was accused of breaking into a woman's home on Cat Island in July 2004 and trying to have sexual intercourse with her. The woman told the court that she grabbed Newbold's genitals and "mashed" them. He bit her to make her let go and then fled the scene.
A spokesman for the attorney general's office said the cat was last used in 2000 on a child rapist. That was the first time it had been used since 1994.
Former Assistant Police Commissioner Paul Thompson said the cat was always considered an effective form of punishment. "A long-serving prison governor told me that prisoners who received the cat never returned to prison. He considered it the ultimate deterrent," Thompson said. | | 7:11a |
