For years we heard people talking about how brilliant Rove was when it came to politics. I always disagreed with that. What Rove is good at is dirty tricks, spinning and lying. Calling him a “great political mind” is like calling a bank robber a “great businessman” or a rapist an “artful seducer of women”. […]
OUCH! That is pretty rough coming from one of the top conservative pundits, Peggy Noonan: On the pundit civil wars, Rush Limbaugh declared on the radio this week, “I’m here to tell you, if either of these two guys [Mr. McCain or Mike Huckabee] get the nomination, it’s going to destroy the Republican Party. It’s […]
It looks like Roy Blunt’s son is taking a page right out of the Bush Administrations book of administrative policies: Gov. Matt Blunt was sued Wednesday by a former staff attorney who claims he was fired and defamed in retaliation for pointing out that Blunt’s administration was destroying e-mails in violation of Missouri’s open-records law. […]
It looks like the citizens of New York paid for Judith Nathan’s security longer than they thought: Judith Nathan got taxpayer-funded chauffeur services from the NYPD earlier than previously disclosed – even before her affair with then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani was revealed, witnesses and sources tell the Daily News. “It went on for months before the […]
And here is the very reason that I hate cell phones: Federal officials are routinely asking courts to order cellphone companies to furnish real-time tracking data so they can pinpoint the whereabouts of drug traffickers, fugitives and other criminal suspects, according to judges and industry lawyers. In some cases, judges have granted the requests without […]
Final vote was 273-156. The sick Republicans were cheering when the override failed. Glad to see they find illness and death involving children as something to cheer for. 44 Republicans voted with Democrats and two Democrats crossed over. The most upsetting part of this is it shows that the “House of Representatives” doesn’t represent the […]
Rudy Giuliani is a problem for the GOP. The right-wing pundits try to dismiss this, but the Christian Right is making sure their concerns are known: Alarmed at the chance that the Republican party might pick Rudolph Giuliani as its presidential nominee despite his support for abortion rights, a coalition of influential Christian conservatives is […]
And they don’t care. That is obvious considering they won’t attend debates held by black or Hispanic moderators. Cornell West (who I am a big fan of) has this to say about the current GOP dilemma: The GOP debate in Baltimore at Morgan State University, led and moderated by Tavis Smiley, and currently being snubbed […]
I think if Craig decides to stay in Senate that would be good for the Democrats. I don’t think the actual actions of what he did are so bad, but his hypocrisy on gay issues makes it very bad for him. It will also provide a great tool out on the campaign trail, as him […]
The outrage over Larry Craig’s conviction is still loud and strong. I find it interesting to see all the outrage on the right. Today’s USA Today highlights some of this. I am still baffled by the outrage over Craig’s conviction by some of the same people who came to the defense of Mark Foley. Foley’s […]
