I think we are seeing a pattern emerge showing that the right is starting to get worried about the increased violent and slanderous rhetoric from some of their extremes. Let me give a couple of examples pointing to this. First we have Tom Coburn this weekend. Coburn has never been considered what one would call […]
It looks like Blago’s AWDD (Attention Whore Deficit Disorder) was kicking into high gear: Blagojevich, referring to the president as “this guy,” says Obama was elected based simply on hope. “What the (expletive)? Everything he’s saying’s on the teleprompter,” Blagojevich told the magazine for a story in its February issue, which hits newsstands Jan. 19. […]
Another corrupt politician gets taken into custody: Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday on charges of conspiring to get financial benefits through his authority to appoint a U.S. senator to fill the vacancy left by Barack Obama’s election as president.

He complained about what he called biased coverage. “I […]
With all the tensions in the Middle East, leave it to our President to have a little blunder that at least gives us some humor: President Bush, not realizing his remarks were being picked up by a microphone, bluntly expressed his frustration with the actions of Hezbollah, a militant Islamic group believed backed by Iran […]
