As the House prepares to take up a resolution of disapproval over Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst during last week’s appearance by President Obama to a joint session of Congress, the wingnuts have found what they claim to be “hypocrisy” on the Democrats part. This video is from 2007 when Rep. Pete Stark was saying how […]
Saturday night Wanda Sykes hosted the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. During her presentation she made a joke about Rush Limbaugh. In case you missed it, here it is: When I heard that I knew there would instantly be outrage from the right, and they didn’t disappoint. Just for a little taste of the anger […]

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 […]

A nice little clip from Robert Greenwald showing McCain’s “friends” AKA lobbyists. So much has come out about McCain lately, besides the Vicki Iseman story, and the media keeps circling the wagons around him. It just proves that they learned nothing from the whole lead up to Iraq fiasco. I guess when we are knee […]

Getting someone to prosecute corrupt politicians effectively is a hard thing, but for Bush, getting someone to not prosecute them is apparently harder: The Bush administration has quietly asked San Diego U.S. Attorney Carol Lam, best known for her high-profile prosecutions of politicians and corporate executives, to resign her post, a law enforcement official said.

So how do the Democrats respond when it is one of their own in a criminal investigation? Simple: Add political banishment to the list of problems confronting Rep.
