Apparently I picked a good debate to skip out on watching. Just about everybody is saying that last night’s ABC News debate in Pennsylvania pretty much sucked, due in large part to moderators Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. If you missed it and still want to watch it (I’m sick of ‘em anyway), you can […]
Oops: McCain’s website plagiarizes recipes from the Food Network.
I must say, even though I disagree with much of his politics and his pathetic meekness as Senate Judiciary Committee Chair under the now-passed GOP majority, I’ve always felt a bond with Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) because we both share the same rare first name. So it saddens me to read this:
Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter’s […]
This is the kind of thing that’s quite encouraging to hear in terms of restoring morality to American government:
Tonight I had an opportunity to ask Barack Obama a question that is on the minds of many Americans, yet rarely rises to the surface in the great ruckus of the 2008 presidential […]
Ugh, Lieberman again:
INTERVIEWER: Hey Sen. Lieberman, you know Barack Obama, is he a Marxist as Bill Kristol says might be the case in today’s New York Times? Is he an elitist like your colleague Hillary Clinton says he is?
JOE LIEBERMAN: Well, you know, I must say that’s a good question. I know […]
Just got back from booming three days on a film shoot in some little Illinois town nobody’s ever heard of called Matteson. I’m exhausted.
The latest polls out of PA continue to show the race tightening…
I’ll be working on a film shoot all weekend (and this includes Friday) so blogging will be very spotty if I blog at all (eek!). Posting will be back to normal by Monday but until then…
Public approval of President Bush has dipped to a new low in the Associated Press-Ipsos poll, driven by dissatisfaction with […]
Here’s something that’s a little disturbing if you thought that it was only Republicans who bought the smear that Obama is a Muslim. According to a recent Pew poll, 10% of Americans are under that incorrect impression.
Here’s what the breakdown is: 14% of Republicans believe the myth, compared with 10% of Democrats and 8% of […]
Above is a vintage 1991 video, courtesy of the Center for Public Integrity, of Wal-mart founder Sam Walton lavishing praise on Hillary Clinton who was at the time a member of the executive board of Wal-Mart. Given Wal-Mart’s notoriously bad history of choosing to use sweatshop suppliers and its decades old anti-union stances, this doesn’t […]
Memo to David Axelrod: Forget bowling, Obama needs to dunk more in front of cameras.
Today’s quote of the day goes to General David Petraeus who said:
“We haven’t turned any corners. We haven’t seen any lights at the end of the tunnel.”
Musta been sent the wrong set of talking points.
Check out Al Gore’s new slideshow version from a few days ago. Truly inspiring– where were his masterful oratorical skills in 2000?
Hillary Clinton, on the Colombian trade deal that got Mark Penn sorta fired but not really:
“As I have said consistently for several months, I oppose signing any trade deal with Colombia while violence against trade unionists continues and the perpetrators are not brought to justice.”
Bill Clinton on the Colombian trade deal that got Mark Penn […]
I know I already sort of mentioned Clinton’s latest bogus claim (that she opposed the war in Iraq before Obama did) briefly here, but now that more details are available it looks even worse– if that was possible. First, check out this video of Clinton making the claim, with context:
Now, check out ABC’s Jake Tapper’s […]
