It took some 20 years, but finally Rev. Jeremiah Wright said something that got Barack Obama’s goat: Wright called him a politician. That was the last straw.
Obama was moved to take Wright to task for his lost week-end (rather, the week-end Wright probably destroyed his chances of becoming president) spent dissing all those white voters in MA and […]

For months, the navel-gazing MSM breathlessly awaited the unveiling of “The Nauseum” (AKA, The Newseum) - its 250,000 sq ft shrine to … itself (AKA “press freedom”; USA Today founder Al Neuhart’s Freedom Forum foundation built the museum and foots most of the operational bills).
Finally, the glorious day arrived and was marked with a […]

April 22 is here–Earth Day, and Scorched Earth Day in Pennsylvania. Only fools predict political outcomes this year. I qualify. So here’s what’s going to happen.
Hillary will probably win the primary. If she wins by any more than two percent, she will trumpet her triumph as a come-from-behind victory, even though she started with a 20 […]

It’s true! Would hysterical conservatives lie to you about a Godless Muslim Koran-fondling wild man like Scary Barry? A man who doesn’t always wear a flag pin on his lapel? That was mighty careless of him. You’d think the Anti-Christ would be a little more devious than that. Since Christ was clearly a white American, […]

In their stump speeches Barack Obama (D-IL) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY) have done their best to create what Washington Post columnist George Will calls “economic hypochondria,” and their surrogates in the MSM are laboring mightily to find everyday folks who can put a face to the suffering the candidates claim is caused by the “housing […]

When Hillary lies, does she know she is lying? Is she a reflexive liar, a compulsive liar, or a pathological liar? Does the staggering number of lies she has told during this campaign make her morally unfit for the office she seeks? Do the things about which she lied make her psychologically unfit?
Consider these questions […]

Enough with the sack stuff. The real eye opener about Eliot Spitzer isn’t his compulsion to heave ho, but his willingness to disguise payments via an international criminal enterprise that specialized in money laundering. To make matters worse, Governor Spitzer had presidential ambitions. Meaning a guy with exploitable criminal connections might have wound up in […]

Naturally, when word got out that soon-to-be-ex Governor Eliot Spitzer (D-NY) had a thing for high-priced hos barely older than his children, most people’s sympathies were with his wife, Silda, and daughters Elyssa, 17, Sarabeth, 15, and Jenna, 13. But not political reporters and analysts. They were wringing their hands over how the sordid mess […]

When Eliot Spitzer dragged his feet over resigning the governorship, media speculation was rampant that the Dem governor was using his office as a bargaining chip, trading his job for assurance that he will escape prosecution or prison on federal charges.

Senator Clinton was civil until she started losing. Obama is answering her, charge by charge. This is not going to be enough. The Clintons have a veritable Kitchen Sink Factory to create weapons to hurl at their opponents. But Hillary’s own tub is full of dirty bathwater. Maybe it’s time for Obama to throw the […]

Since when does a dying campaign inspire a sudden cash infusion of 35 million dollars?
In a conference call pep talk to contributors, that’s what the sputtering Clinton machine announced Thursday. They claim that in February, they have suddenly received $35 million from 300,000 people, two-thirds of whom were new donors, and that most of the […]

There is an old joke that seems to shed uncanny light on the core reason for Senator Clinton’s floundering candidacy. But first let’s review her campaign.
Hillary believes in change. She has changed campaign strategies as often as she has changed her hairstyle. She keeps changing her message. She keeps changing her image. When told she […]
