He is either lying or just plain dumb, but today John McCain said he didn’t know about Carly Fiorina’s $40 million payout when she was fired from her job as CEO of Hewlett Packard. It has amazes me how the Republicans hold up Fiorina as some hero of business management, despite her performance and ultimate […]
The National Review is trying to push the sexist meme even more: The “lipstick on a pig” phrase was bad, yes, but kind of schoolyard nasty. But this riff, which followed in Barack Obama’s little speech is far worse: …you know Sarah Palin is an interesting story.” The crowd booed. “No, she’s new!” Obama said. […]
Newsweek is all over troopergate: Court documents show that Judge Suddock was disturbed by the alleged attacks by Palin and her family members on Wooten’s behavior and character. “Disparaging will not be tolerated—it is a form of child abuse,” the judge told a settlement hearing in October 2005, according to typed notes of the proceedings. […]
For the way the Republicans rally behind Condi, this less than glowing endorsement has to put them in a peculiar spot: In a less-than-hearty endorsement, Rice declined to say anything more positive about Palin than “she gave a terrific speech” and “she’s a governor of a state here in the United States” during her interview […]
Last night McCain said this: The—the constant partisan rancor that stops us from solving these problems isn’t a cause. It’s a symptom. It’s what happens when people go to Washington to work for themselves and not for you. Again and again—again and again, I’ve worked with members of both parties to fix problems that need […]
The Republicans are trying to get Sarah ready to debate Biden: Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is among several national security experts helping brief Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on foreign policy issues as she prepares to hit the campaign trail while cramming for a debate with her Democratic opponent, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. […]
Heart the band that is: Ann and Nancy Wilson are pissed at the Republican Party and have fired off a cease and desist letter to the McCain/Palin campaign. Specifically, the Heart women are upset that the GOP has used their classic “Barracuda” as a theme song for Sarah Palin. TMZ obtained a statement from Heart’s […]
The Republicans went into full exploitation mode last night, using a video showing September 11th over and over again. Keith Olbermann, as someone who lost friends in the attack, went on to talk about how inappropriate it was. That’s why the Republicans hate Olbermann – he exposes their lack of common sense.
It seems like the general consensus amongst the pundits regarding John’s big moment is the same feeling I had watching it – yawn. He didn’t lay out a single policy, and instead stayed on his “change” platform. Funny – it seems like every Republican has said that since I can remember. As matter of fact […]
The Republicans have circled the wagons this week around Sarah Palin and her family. Well it seems like that plan is backfiring: For two days, the chorus from Republicans on TV news and in the halls of the convention has been resounding: Back off and let the Palin family be. “That’s out of bounds,” said […]
