This Morning On The Stephanie Miller Show

PRESIDENT BUSH YESTERDAY, AT ISRAEL’S 60TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION IN JERUSALEM, SUGGESTED THAT SOME DEMS WERE ACTING IN THE SAME WAY SOME WESTERN LEADERS DID WHEN THEY APPEASED HITLER IN THE RUNUP TO WORLD WAR II. DEMS YESTERDAY CONDEMNED THE REMARKS, AND SEN. JOE BIDEN (D-DE) WENT SO FAR AS TO CALL BUSH’S REMARKS “BULLS**T.”

THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN THE STATE’S BAN ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE YESTERDAY, SAYING SEXUAL ORIENTATION, LIKE RACE OR GENDER, “DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A LEGITIMATE BASIS ON WHICH TO DENY OR WITHHOLD LEGAL RIGHTS.” THE RULING TAKES EFFECT IN 30 DAYS. OPPOSING GROUPS ARE ALREADY ORGANIZING FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BANNING SAME-SEX MARRIAGE TO BE PLACED ON NOVEMBER’S BALLOT.

AL QAIDA LEADER OSAMA BIN LADEN, IN A BLUNT NEW AUDIO MESSAGE THAT COINCIDES WITH ISRAEL’S 60TH ANNIVERSARY, URGED HIS FOLLOWERS TO LIBERATE PALESTINE.

JOHN MCCAIN GAVE A SPEECH YESTERDAY IN WHICH HE ENVISIONED THAT BY 2013, THE IRAQ WAR WILL BE WON, BUT THE THREAT FROM THE TALIBAN IN AFGHANISTAN WON’T BE ELIMINATED, EVEN THOUGH OSAMA BIN LADEN WILL HAVE BEEN CAPTURED OR KILLED.

REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BLOCKED A $163 BILLION WAR FUNDING BILL YESTERDAY, DEALING A SURPRISING DEFEAT TO DEMS WHO HAD EXPECTED TO PASS THE MEASURE. A MEASURE THAT INCLUDED A NON-BINDING PLAN FOR TROOPS TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM IRAQ BY DECEMBER, 2009
