New Bill And Obama Chat On The Phone

No word on any ass-kissing, but hey, it was a phone conversation.
Obama “had a terrific conversation with President Clinton and is honored to have his support in this campaign,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said.
New Bill says that whole ass-kising thing is a bunch of nonesense anyway. At least I think that’s what Terry is [...]

McCain Picks Up Obama’s Distraction Meme, Runs With It

McCain thinks Clark’s comments are another big ‘ol distraction from the real issues of the day.

If Obama can do it, McCain can too.

Is Obama Cheating The Ladies On His Staff?

Someone’s got some ’splainin to do, especially when contrasted with McCain’s staff:
The average pay for the 33 men on Obama’s staff (who earned more than $23,000, the lowest annual salary paid for non-intern employees) was $59,207. The average pay for the 31 women on Obama’s staff who earned more than $23,000 per year was $48,729.91. [...]

Wesley Clark Doesn’t Know When To Shut Up

Open mouth, insert foot.
After saying, “I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war,” he added that these experiences in no way qualify McCain to be president in his view:
“He [...]

Team McCain Has Not Nice Things To Say About Obama Too

McCain strategist Steve Schmidt calls Obama an opportunistic bus driver.
“In his time on the national stage, he has consistently put his party and his self-interest first,” McCain strategist Steve Schmidt said in the memo. “We have seen Barack Obama forced to choose between principle and the interests of himself and his party. He has always [...]

Lieberman Still Saying Not Nice Things About Obama

I guess that little talking-to Obama gave Lieberman on the Senate floor didn’t deter Joe much.

I wonder what Obama will have to say about this?

Obama Plans Summer Trip

This is supposed to beef up his foreign policy cred, but it just sounds like a vacation to me.
The senator from Illinois and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee will visit France, Germany, Israel, Jordan and Britain, his campaign says.
“This trip will be an important opportunity for me to assess the situation in countries that are critical [...]

New Bill Wants To Have His Ass Kissed By Obama

No really, he does.
[A senior Democrat who worked for Clinton] told the Telegraph: “He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he’s been in contact with and he is mad as hell.
“He’s saying he’s not going to reach out, [...]

Newsweek Is Really Reaching Here….

I guess I’m supposed to get all excited over this. The nutroots sure did.
When you’re poor, it can be hard to pay the bills. When you’re rich, it’s hard to keep track of all the bills that need paying. It’s a lesson Cindy McCain learned the hard way when NEWSWEEK raised questions about an overdue [...]
