2005. The year the WH press corps grew balls.

(I generally don't engage in sexist language. But how else do you describe what went on?)

The year of Jeff Gannon.
Terri Schaivo.
The nuclear option.
Downing Street Memo. (thanks, [livejournal.com profile] goodbadgirl)
Koran flushing.
Cindy Sheehan.
Katrina.
CIA leak scandal.
DeLay & Abramoff.
Murtha.
Confidence lost in Canadian government.

What am I missing? Refresh my memory.

(Yes, this list is U.S.-centric. I suffer from the myopia that plagues many Americans.)

The tsunami was technically at the end of last year, if I'm not mistaken. Like December 29?

Downing Street Memo, yes.

You're right. That's what I get for trying to think early.
