The leftosphere is erupting in predictable outrage after the publishing of a transcript of a conversation between the President and then-Prime Minister of Spain José María Aznar, a conversation which took place about a month before the war in Iraq began. Spain’s El País daily newspaper published it, and the Editor and Publisher has a […]

If Hillary were to get the Democratic nomination — and that’s still a big “if” at this point — who would her vice-presidential nominee be? Here are some thoughts on some of the choices she may take a look at: Bill Clinton: There was some talk early on about whether Bill could run as Hill’s […]

This shows you how much David Petraeus’ testimony has changed the political climate, The leading Democratic White House hopefuls conceded Wednesday night they cannot guarantee to pull all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the end of the next presidential term in 2013. “I think it’s hard to project four years from now,” said Sen. […]

Right Wing News on April 9, 2007 The Edwards campaign has already gotten a boost at the polls from Elizabeth’s cancer and they’re now cynically using her illness to get fund raising emails, so don’t be surprised if they go whole hog and use it in a “win one for the Gipper speech.” Something like, […]

Katie Couric explained her mediocre performance at CBS with this quip, On Americans’ reactions to a woman anchoring the evening news: “I think there probably remains an underlying discomfort in this country with women in power.” This is obviously sour grapes because, #1) If Katie had really believed this beforehand, she would have turned down […]

Two bits of good news on immigration. The NIGHTMARE Act is out of the picture for now. But, like all immigration amnesties, it’s not really dead, it’s just resting: The prospects for immediate Senate action on the DREAM Act, which would grant legal status to hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants, disappeared Wednesday amid […]

Rumor has it that President Bush has been quietly giving advice to Hillary about not making stupid promises regarding Iraq that she’ll regret if she gets elected. I’m sure the advice also encompasses other topics, and I’ll speculate thusly about what he might have said: 10) “Choose a running mate that’s in favor of gun […]

Yesterday, I touched on the fact that the Big 3 Republican contenders for the Presidency are all currently behind Hillary by at least 6 points in New Mexico, Virginia, & Iowa — all of which are states that the GOP won in 2004. These Gallup Poll numbers are even more disturbing, According to Gallup’s annual […]

In 2004, various Democrats kept suggesting a draft while the Republicans kept saying over and over again that they opposed it. Then, as the election drew closer, the Democrats used their own calls for a draft as evidence that if George Bush won, he would implement a draft — and that undoubtedly helped spike the […]

Over at the Smirking Chimp, there’s a fascinating window into the mind of the average liberal — and, no, that’s not hyperbole — called “When America Went Fascist” by Chris Rowthorn. Now, I know a lot of you are rolling your eyes already because what could be more common than an America liberal calling America […]

Now this is an eye catching headline, taterguy: Soccer is the most warlike, environmentally destructive sport around The “sport” originated when a conquering army starting kicking around the head of a decapitated enemy.

Oh wow, just when you think you’ve read it all from the Globe’s James Carroll, he goes one step further. Now it’s George W. Bush’s fault that Iran isn’t with us any more. That’s right, Iran, because everyone knows their regime’s sincere empathy for us after 9/11 had them supporting us until the president overstepped: […]

Over at the Democratic Underground, someone called “Zandor” wrote a sensible post called, “Can We Stop Calling America a Terrorist Nation?” Here’s a little sample, “I’ve seen this numerous times in my relatively short stay. This rhetoric is disturbing and completely outside accepted political discourse in either party. No Democratic party candidate for President would […]

* Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney seem to have roughly the same amount of name recognition, but Fred has much, much, better polling numbers nationally and in just about any state where Mitt isn’t spending a lot of money. For Thompson, this is good news, because he is practically even with Rudy and he has […]

This mixture of oddball paranoia, delusion, and over-the-top hostility towards David Petraeus was cribbed from a writer, not a commenter, at the Daily Kos called Archangel M. His post is called, “Why we’re existing in a police state.” When *ss-kissing chickensh*t David Petraeus lied his *ss off before Congress about the failed “surge”, capitol hill […]

As I was perusing the Daily Kos, I ran across a recommended diary called, “Right wing targeting The American Cancer Society,” and I thought, “Hey, I’m part of the Right Wing. Let’s see why I should be targeting these guys.” To be honest, I figured it was probably hyperbole and they were complaining because the […]

I don’t generally pay any attention at all to the “kidnapping of the day” case that the cable news networks have latched onto. That’s just because they all feel so frivolous to me. There are kidnappings and murders all across the country, every day, so what makes the one involving the “pretty people” that the […]

I do think that the Jena six belong in jail cells for assaulting someone from behind, knocking him unconscious, and then stomping him until they were pulled away. But they, and their families, don’t deserve this, The FBI is reviewing a white supremacist Web site that purports to list the addresses of five of the […]

First off, Columbia University is being threatened with a cut in state funds for allowing Ahmadinejad to speak — which is great.

You want to bring in an anti-American, terrorist supporting, holocaust denying, anti-Semite […]
