When 527’s Attack!

You knew it was going to happen eventually; the return of the 527’s. For those who don’t know or remember, the most famous example of a 527 group was the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth who, well, swiftboated John Kerry. 527’s are a funny breed, they are officially listed as non-profits but they can raise [...]

Congress Is Secretly In Luv With Obama?

That’s what Sen. Claire McCaskill says:
“The majority of superdelegates I’ve talked to are committed, but it is a matter of timing,” Obama backer Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) told Parnes and Hearn. “They’re just preferring to make their decision public after the primaries are over. … They would like someone else to act for them before [...]

Karl Rove, Fountain Of Free Advice

I hope W didn’t pay Rove for his advice, because Rove seems perfectly happy to give it away for free. This time, he has a few words for McCain:
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, former top Bush adviser Karl Rove called McCain “one of the most private individuals to run for president in history,” and [...]

John McCain Hates Disabled People

Note to ADAPT; if you would like to stage a protest in order to speak to McCain, perhaps you should pick a time when he’s actually in his offices.
At least 20 disabled activists, most of them in wheelchairs, were arrested outside Sen. John McCain’s offices Tuesday after being refused a meeting with the GOP presidential [...]

McCain Has A Plan!

A plan for healthcare, that is:
Flanked on stage by nearly 50 medical professionals, many in white doctor’s coats, McCain restated a number of aspects of the plan he initially laid out last fall–albeit with some new details–which at it’s heart offers a tax credit ($5,000 for families and $2,500 for individuals) for health insurance. The [...]

More White Guilt, Courtesy Of Sharpton

This might revive the whole “he isn’t black enough” argument against Obama. Al Sharption is pissed that Obama has called for New Yorkers to not resort to violence to protest the Bell verdict.
During what a source described as a “heated” phone call yesterday, Sharpton told Obama he was disappointed with the Illinois senator’s words on Friday, [...]

We’re All A Bunch Of Effin’ Racists!

I knew I would stumble upon a blog post like this eventually. I didn’t even go looking for it, it just plopped itself in my RSS reader. I had assumed that the whole Rev. Wright kerfuffle was about Wright’s words, but I was wrong. It’s all because we’re a bunch of no-good racists who are just [...]

Francis Fights Back!

Well this is interesting. New York Post has video released from Girls Gone Wild showing Ms. Dupre specifically saying that she’s 18 and that it was perfectly OK for her footage to be used in a Girls Gone Wild video. That kinda puts a hole in her argument that she was underage and had not clue [...]

It’s All Hillary’s Fault! Well, Not Really….

Everything bad that has ever happened to Barack Obama is Hillary Clinton’s fault. Or at least it’s one of her supporters’ fault:
Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds.
A former editorial board member at USA Today, she [...]

Damn, I Thought They Meant He Was An Actual Pirate

Like with an eye patch and a peg leg. But no, it turns out Tony Krvaric is a pirate of the software-hacking variety.
Any job applicant knows that background checks are routine – especially for jobs involving authority or oversight of money. So why didn’t the San Diego Republican Party do a simple Google search before [...]
