While John McCain is being tutored by Joe Lieberman on the difference between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, the Democrats are squandering their chances by extending their internecine squabbling so as to give the Republican candidate a free and open opportunity to coalesce his support and win the general election.
The media won’t say this, but here [...]

Hurricane Hillary: Katrina Was a Gentle Breeze By Comparison

Senator Clinton fear-mongered and dirty-tricked her way to popular vote wins in Texas and Ohio last night, aided and abetted by the media. I’m leaving out her win in Rhode Island because that was mostly conceded by the Obama campaign because of the high Catholic population there (a strong Clinton voting block) and the strong [...]
Media Does Penance For Obama

Not since Spiro T. Agnew’s attack on the media (penned by William Safire) calling them “nattering nabobs of negativism” in 1970 has the media caved in so unequivocally to a politician’s claim of unjust coverage.
In response to the Clinton campaign’s constant complaint of the press’ so-called Obama favoritism, the press started an “All Hillary, All [...]
Hillary Tested Under Crisis?

A few months after 9/11, I sent an urgent plea via email to Senator Hillary Clinton’s Office. It seems, a local news plane had buzzed Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant for twenty minutes and the U.S. government did nothing to stop it.
Indian Point is fifty miles north of New York City. The World [...]
Clinton’s Scorched Earth: Ad Nauseam

In 2006, The Huffington Post reported that the Republicans were preparing a “Daisy” ad against Barack Obama. Now Hillary Clinton has beaten them to it.
For those of us who may have doubted just how far the Clintons would go to win the primary, we now have the answer: They are willing to hand a finely [...]
Prediction: In Next Democratic Primary, The Media Will Stumble Again

Bill Clinton teed it up, and now the media are about to swing the club.
Hillary Clinton needs to beat Barack Obama in the Texas and Ohio Democratic primaries on March fourth. But as been repeated countless times by veteran delegate counters, Senator Clinton needs to beat Senator Obama by a minimum of 65% in both [...]
Democratic Debate Number Twenty: Everything But The Kitchen Sink

Earlier today, I got an email from the Obama campaign saying that they expected Hillary Clinton to throw everything at them including the kitchen sink. I was concerned for Senator Obama.
I couldn’t imagine what a desperate and, at times, schizophrenic seeming Senator Clinton would do given the last few days of alternating warmth, scolding, and [...]
Hillary Loses Her Cool

Speaking in Ohio today, Senator Hillary Clinton accused Barack Obama of sending misleading campaign information out through the mail. Obama immediately shot back and said the mailings were factually accurate.
It was Hillary’s overheated, angry and scolding tone that will capture the next news cycle by the time the media gets to run with it. If [...]

I agree with Michelle Obama when she says that for the first time in her adult life she is proud of America. Perhaps it is difficult to hear and I cannot speak for the Senator’s wife about her experiences or motivations. But for me, it is not because of all the young people who have [...]

“The Best Political Blog On The Internet”
Have you ever gone to a movie and hated it, then the next day you found out it was up for Best Picture?
That’s how I feel when I watch a political debate and then listen to the talking heads describe it. The problem is that the movie you hated [...]
