Sober Reflections On The Sanford Saga Posted 25 Jun 2009 under 2008 Presidential, Media, Republican Clown Show, St. John McCain
(1) In retrospect, one thing is clear about the 2008 Presidential election. It seems to have forever emboldened adulterers in the Republican party (both admitted and unadmitted) into fancying themselves as perfectly viable candidates. This is perhaps the natural result of seeing admitted serial adulterer John McCain make it all the way to the finals, and [...]

A Concise History Of DOMA Pretenses Posted 18 Jun 2009 under Obama Uber Alles, Podium Spin
(1) First, Obama-the-candidate promises to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. Then, the Obama administration files a brief supporting DOMA (see Matt’s powerful post about Obama’s wideranging and continuing betrayal of the GLBT community). A brief that John Aravosis describes as “despicable, and gratuitously homophobic”. Then, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs insists that [...]

A Little More Audacity Posted 17 Jun 2009 under Obama Uber Alles, Welcome Aboard, Chief!
Bill Maher, Welcome Aboard, Chief! “And, just like Lindsay, we see your name in the paper a lot, but we’re kind of wondering when you’re going to actually do something. Sorry, folks, but this president is not fighting for real health care reform. It’s nibbling that leaves insurance companies still running the show. And the banks, [...]

Peter Lance, Triple Cross & Patrick Fitzgerald Posted 15 Jun 2009 under General
We have been following the work of author/investigative journalist Peter Lance since the spectacular 1000 YEARS FOR REVENGE was released in 2003. If you haven’t read it (or its follow up COVER UP), we highly recommend that you catch up. We’ve previously interviewed Lance upon the publication of 1000 YEARS FOR REVENGE here [...]

The Peaceful Coexistence Of Healthcare Matter And Antimatter Posted 08 Jun 2009 under Bad Dems, Economy, Obama Uber Alles, Republican Clown Show
(1) The Republican mind is a complex thing, awesome to behold and to contemplate. Contemplate, for example, the passionate Republican opposition to the central health care reform proposal the Obama administration is advocating (at least, they seem to be advocating it, as of now): a public plan. Here’s the NYT, capturing the passion perfectly: The public plan concept has [...]

Compulsive Delusional Revisionism Posted 01 Jun 2009 under Bush Man Date, Cheney, Corruption, Media, Podium Spin, Rice, War on Terror
For almost eight years, Cheney took the high road and maintained an honorable silence on the subject. This man couldn’t maintain a dignified, honorable silence for even six months on the policies of the Obama administration. Imagine what it must have taken for him to sustain a dignified, honorable silence for almost eight [...]

Pure Undistilled Garbage Of The First Water Posted 18 May 2009 under Congressional Man Date, Supreme Court
Four years ago, the guy who currently makes the office of Senate Minority Leader a subject of widespread ridicule, Mitch McConnell, was holding forth passionately against filibusters of “any President’s judicial nominees”: Because of the unprecedented obstruction of our Democratic colleagues, the Republican conference intends to restore the principle that, regardless of party, any President’s judicial [...]

Hallowed Senate Tradition > Actual Democracy Posted 05 May 2009 under Congressional Man Date, Obama Uber Alles
Last week I linked to an article about Senior Senate Democrats getting their panties in a twist over Arlen Specter being allowed to keep his Senate seniority: Several Democrats are furious with Sen. Reid (D-Nev.) for agreeing to let Specter (Pa.) keep his seniority, accrued over more than 28 years as a GOP senator. That agreement [...]

It’s OK Because He’s Your Douchebag, Right? Posted under Obama Uber Alles
Arlen Specter is Barack Obama’s kind of Democrat Jake Tapper: To follow-up on a couple of issues; one, regarding the Pennsylvania primary, President Obama has said he will commit to Senator Arlen Specter. Today Congressman Sestak of Pennsylvania said he’s “inclined” to challenge Specter in the primary. Given the fact that Specter, his very first [...]

Presidential Prevarication: Still Alive And Well Posted 30 Apr 2009 under Depends on the Definition of Change, Dismantling Bushworld, Obama Uber Alles, War on Terror
During the President’s press conference last night, Michael Scherer of Time asked an excellent question: During the campaign, you criticized President Bush’s use of the state secrets privilege, but U.S. attorneys have continued to argue the Bush position in three cases in court. How exactly does your view of state secrets differ from President Bush’s? And [...]
