Huckabee Apologizes For Being A Crappy Comedian

Huckabee issued an apologyfor his craptastic joke about Obama ducking gunfire:
“During my speech at the N.R.A., a loud noise backstage, that sounded like a chair falling, distracted the crowd and interrupted my speech. I made an off hand remark that was in no way intended to offend or disparage Sen. Obama. I apologize that my [...]

Obama Skips Kentucky Stops, Makes A Bunch Of Excuses

Yeah Barack, it’s everyone’s fault but your own that you’ll lose Kentucky. Not that you give a hoot what those people think anyway. It’s great that the excuse parade is starting before the primary, and that it’s coming from Obama himself. It saves the Obamamaniacsthe time and trouble.
“When we’re able to campaign in a place like [...]

What The Hell Was Huckabee Thinking?

Um, yeah, this isn’t a good joke.
During a speech before the National Rifle Association convention Friday afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee — who has endorsed presumptive GOP nominee John McCain — joked that an unexpected offstage noise was Democrat Barack Obama looking to avoid a gunman.
“That was Barack Obama, he [...]

The McCain Flip-Flop That Isn’t (Or Why I Give Stories A Minute To Ferment)

Now I’ve been watching the Lefty blogosphere go nuts since yesterday over this supposed McCain flip-flop on having talks with Hamas. At the center of the fracas is a Jamie Rubin op-ed that claims that McCain has changed his mind on the topic since 2006, when during an interview with Rubin McCain said that talks [...]

And Another Adviser Bites The Dust

McCain had to cut loose another adviser, Craig Shirley, because Shirley was moonlighting for the 527 group StopHerNow.com(soon to be StopHimNow.com). And because it apparently not self-evident to McCain’s advisers that moonlighting for a 527 is a no-no, the McCain camp has released a conflict of interest policy saying so.
For those who don’t get what the big whoop [...]

Oh Snap! O’Reilly Compares Kos To David Duke

Oh yeah, he went there. He went there, took pictures, and came back already.
During the May 14 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly compared Markos Moulitsas, founder of the progressive Daily Kos blog, to white supremacist David Duke and criticized Newsweekfor its decision to hire Moulitsas as a regular contributor, stating: [...]

Edwards Says No To VP Slot

What is it this year, nobody seems to want the VP nod on either side.
But Edwards flatly said Friday, as he had before he endorsed a candidate, that he’s not interested in making a second run for vice president.
“No,” Edwards said in no uncertain terms on NBC’s the Today show when asked about the possibility. [...]

Well, At Least Hillary Realizes W’s Comment Was About All Democrats….

Here’s Hillary’s response to Bush’s comment:
President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive and outrageous on the face of it, especially in light of his failures in foreign policy. This is the kind of statement that has no place in any presidential address and certainly to use an important moment like [...]

So Much For Immigration Reform From Obama

For everyone who isn’t thrilled with McCain’s ideas on immigration reform, check out Obama’s:
Sen. Barack Obama easily won the African American vote in South Carolina, but to woo California Latinos, where he is running 3-to-1 behind rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, he is taking a giant risk: spotlighting his support for the red-hot issue of [...]

Olbermann Has Some Special Comments For W

Keith was allowed to have another one of his unhinged “Special Comment” segments last night, which he used to unload his Bush rage. He hits his usual anti-Bush topics (Iraq war, Dick Cheney, etc.) but his biggest issue is with Bush’s statement that he stopped playing golf so as not to offend those who have [...]
