On Tuesday, my colleague Trish wrote about the possibility that Cheney and Bush might invade Iran as a last, desperate act in order to change the political playing field this fall and tip the race to John McCain. She rightly pointed out that the current occupants cannot afford to allow the Democrats to occupy the [...]

From the Real McCain, these videos are burning up YouTube. I just heard David Schuster on MSNBC say that the second one had received over 1.5 million hits.
Imagine the ad campaigns in the fall.

The Obama campaign is treating this new expose about Barack’s early career campaign tactics like it is bad news. But for millions of Democrats who are disheartened that the party is sending a chess club president into a shank fight with Beelzebub for the third time in a row, it may be the first glimmer [...]

Steven Reynolds at All Spin Zone has a bit of Friday fun going:
Larry Craig is writing a book about energy, but he’s going to discuss those little adventures in airport restrooms as well. I’m thinking this guy needs a catchy title for his book. Maybe our readers can come up with good ones.
My suggestion [...]

After his book was released, Stephanopoulos was called “turncoat,” “backstabber,” “ingrate,” [...]

Unfortunately, ‘Barack’ Rhymes with ‘Murdoch’
Buck Banks | May. 29, 2008
