CNN (or as I understand it must now be called “The CNN”) ran this piece a little while ago on the President and his shortcomings when it comes to understanding technology.
Below are links to each of the speeches today (in order) by 2008 contenders who gave them today at the Democratic Winter Meeting. Each is the official video provided by the DNC, in Windows Media format.
Chris Dodd
Barack Obama
Wesley Clark
John Edwards
Dennis Kucinich
Hillary Clinton
I thought Edwards’ speech was the best, with Obama’s coming in at a much-shorter […]
Below is a video of Senator Obama making his address to delegates at the Democratic National Committee Winter Meeting earlier today (it’s abridged for time reasons with much of the applause and some of the content edited out). The speech seemed pretty good and he made some great points about battling cynicism in my mind, […]
Today is the first day of February.
This is a clip from 2004 when Arrianna Huffington appeared on The Factor to promote her then-latest book. All O’Reilly wanted to do was talk about how liberal columnist and bestselling author Molly Ivins was “ramming socialism” down America’s throat. Ivins died at 62 after a battle with cancer which began in 1999, relapsing several […]
There’s this myth that if you like a candidate, you automatically dislike or hostile towards any parody or satire making fun of them. I’m a fan of Barack Obama, but this impression skit is absolutely hilarious. If the Senator winds up on the 2008 Democratic ticket, Wyatt Cenac (the actor in the video) definitely has […]
Who does that Barack Obama think he is, anyways? Introducing a hard-toothed binding resolution on the Senate floor today that would not only cap escalation but also mandate the withdrawal of combat forces by March 2008, something the majority of Americans and Iraqis support, and all… You can watch the video of him introducing […]
The following is a video of Tony Blair doing a cover of the song “Should I Stay or Should I Go” by The Clash. It was created by somebody who spliced footage of Blair saying single words from press conferences and speeches, and put an instrumental version of the song over it. Pretty funny, check […]
Oh, Bill-o. The other night, Bill O’Reilly was hard at work doing what he does best: talking about things he knows nothing about.
In this case, the Fox host bashed a documentary titled “Friends of God” made by Alexandra Pelosi, Speaker Pelosi’s daughter. The film, which aired January 25th on HBO, takes a non-negative look at […]
Brave New Films (the production company behind the awesome people-powered documentaries Uncovered, The Big Buy: Tom DeLay’s Stolen Congress, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism, and most recently Iraq for Sale) is creating a campaign called The Real McCain.
The idea is to demonstrate how the self-proclaimed “straight-talker” contradicts […]
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, like every other Democrat who has announced their intentions recently (HRC, BHO, and JRE, and Chris Dodd, but nobody noticed), has created an online video for his announcement. It’s not just Democrats who are using video for their announcements, although Democrats have been using the video more effectively thus far: […]
Heh, I found this video on YouTube from The Daily Show just recently, although it was originally posted on the site in March of 2006. Probably even more relevant today than when it was originally created though.
I really can’t say how pissed I am at Fox News right now. Check out the following video and then below for the truth.
Okay, let’s break this down.
CLAIM: “Big news this morning coming out about a possible Presidential contender”… goes on to say Obama was raised as a Muslim.
FACT: This is not “big news” whatsoever. […]
Tonight, Bill O’Reilly had Stephen Colbert as his featured guest on The O’Reilly Factor, and in return the Fox News host also appeared on The Colbert Report only hours later. Below are the videos of their appearences, first The O’Reilly Factor with Colbert as guest:
And now The Colbert Report, with O’Reilly as guest:
By the way, […]
I dunno if you’ve been following this at all, but not long ago a YouTube user named SoThisIsWashington posted a video from an October 1994 debate between Mitt Romney and Ted Kennedy. Romney, now a Republican Presidential candidate, was at the time trying to challenge Kennedy for his Massachusetts Senate seat.
I had written about this […]
