In the aftermath of the Lieberman-Kyl bill, Barack Obama has been rigorously criticizing Hillary Clinton for voting for a bill that was characterized as “Dick Cheney’s fondest pipe dream.” Obama’s criticism is now getting under Clinton’s skin:

The campaign sent out an e-mail tonight, using some of the strongest language it has used in public against […]

I find this video…. hilarious. I cannot explain why. The obvious answer is that it’s the phonetic English subtitles, but perhaps it’s the seemingly-unmotivated costume changes or the ridiculous dance moves or the facial expressions of the backup dancers.

Looks like we get to have the big debate over whether or not it’s okay to out hypocrites for their hypocrisy again:

Larry Flynt, editor and publisher of Hustler magazine, just told FOX Business Network’s Neil Cavuto that he’s “hoping to expose a bombshell” that will stand “Washington and the country on its head.” Within the […]

by Arlen Parsa

Choose your words carefully, Mitt:

…Republican candidate Mitt Romney said he would consider a military blockade or “bombardment of some kind” to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon.

Romney probably has no idea that in international law jargon, “bombardment” is a specific term for describing the war crime of attacking defenseless non-military targets in a relentless, […]

Fox News is claiming there were no US casualties in Iraq this past week. Too bad it’s apparently not true, according to the Pentagon.
