Chris Dodd puts a hold on FISA

Thursday, October 18, 2007

All hail our own Chris Dodd, who is finding his stride these days. He might not get the nomination, but he’s showing some leadership and something even rarer: respect for the Constitution. If it’s a pose, it’s one we can only hope other politicians will adopt. I sent myself a link from work about this […]

Random notes on Republicans

Friday, October 5, 2007

Isn’t there an old saw about things coming in threes? If that’s the case, there’s one more Republican about to be exposed for playing footsie in a men’s room somewhere. Hypocrite number two is small game compared to Craig (via Talking Points), but he just proves that the party is infested from top to bottom. […]

Log Cabin Republicans endorse Mitt

Thursday, October 4, 2007

This is, perhaps, an historic first. A positive, negative ad. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Elx3UWmyAY4[/youtube] Via Talking Points Memo

Yet another thing changed by 9/11?

Tuesday, October 2, 2007

(Via Political Animal) We learn from the Wall Street Journal that Rudy Giuliani apparently makes a habit of taking phone calls from wife number three during meetings, speeches, etc. …Columnist Robert Novak cites “supporters from outside the Giuliani staff” who claim that taking phone calls from his wife as been “part of his political bag […]

Mr. 9/11 exposed

Friday, September 7, 2007

This is all over the net, but it needs to be widely seen, from a documentary by Robert Greenwald: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0E0wfShJ58&v3[/youtube] Surprisingly, Greenwald doesn’t mention that another reason Rudy put the command center near the World Trade Center was so he could have a comfortable place to commit GOP retroactively sanctioned adultery.

Our media at work

Wednesday, August 8, 2007

In this morning’s Day we learn that John Edwards failed to score points with a union crowd in Chicago at a candidates debate. The debate took place before a large and raucous union crowd. How do we know that Edwards failed to score? Well, we don’t have to take the reporter’s (a labor reporter no […]

More on Rudy

Saturday, July 28, 2007

In response to a recent comment, I’m not a gambling man. However, as the post concerned Rudy Guiliani, I thought I’d submit yet another reason why it will be hard for Rudy to get nominated by a party dominated by the Religious Right. Now I have nothing against cross dressing, being a tolerant guy, but […]

NY Firefighters take on Giuliani

Thursday, July 12, 2007

The New York Times published an article on the New York Firefighters video piece on Rudy Giuliani. Here’s the video itself. You wonder, sometimes, how people like Giuliani manage to sleep. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaCYEEO-58I[/youtube] By the way, the Times, along with a number of other media outlets, somehow forgot to mention that “Richard Shierer, a former firefighter […]

No there there

Friday, June 29, 2007

Fred Thompson underwhelms them in New Hampshire. In 2004 Wes Clark was a threat to everyone, including Bush, before he got in the race. Once he did, he faded. Clark actually had substance and would probably have been a capable president. Thompson is a lightweight, who did nothing as a Senator, and would be a […]
