Why didn’t you say so? We’re sorry but we didn’t understand. And, er, we destroyed them later. The latest in the inevitable torture cover-up in the Bush administration.

Ron Paul Quote Of The Day
A reader writes:
Well, I’d say the best sentence in the Tucker Carlson article is Ron Paul’s:
"I’ve never gotten around to killing anything."
Truly, the anti-Cheney!
Quote For The Day
"They were more than happy for us to come to the rallies and stand in lines for hours to cheer on the candidates, appreciated us putting up the yard signs, going out and putting out the cards on peoples doors and making phone calls to the phone banks and – really appreciated all of our votes. But when they got elected, behind closed doors, they would laugh at us and speak with scorn and derision that we were, as one article I think once said "the easily led." So there’s been almost this sort of, it’s okay if you guys get a seat on the bus, but don’t ever think about telling us where the bus is going to go," – Mike Huckabee, CBN.
Faces Of The Year I
The first of my favorite seven "Face Of The Day" photographs from the Dish in 2007. I’ll be posting one each day in Christmas week. Some readers ask my criteria for these shots. I guess I’m looking for faces of human beings not always on the front-pages, new ways to illustrate stories around the world that would not be covered on the blog usually, and images that are simply striking, beautiful, rare or revelatory. I scan the Getty photo service each day for them. It’s one of my favorite Daily Dish-tasks – and made possible by the Atlantic‘s subscription.

Iowa: Where We Are
Mark Blumenthal parses the polls. Given the holiday season, I’d say we’re essentially flying blind from now on, but a heavier turnout will favor Obama. I don’t make predictions but I’m also getting the impression that New Hampshire will come home for McCain which, given the front-running alternatives, would make me very happy.
Campaign Quote Of The Day
“The strong pitch made to me and others not that long ago was that we had to be for Hillary, because Hillary was going to be the inevitable winner. They have come a long way if they now think Iowa is just survivable," – Gordon Fischer, the former chair of the Iowa Democratic Party who is now backing Obama.
Ron Obamacain 2008!
Pete Abel finds the perfect candidate:
He has the eagle eyes of Ron Paul: a crystal-clear vision of pervasive liberty. He has the wide-open heart of Barack Obama: the requisite character to diffuse the boiling rage that now infects our public dialogue, domestically and internationally. And backing up all of this, he has the unflinching spine of John McCain: the strength and chutzpah to stand up and fight when necessary.
