Presumed Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin has hired a private lawyer to defend her in the “Troopergate” investigation. Palin is accused of abusing her power by pressuring Public Safety Commissioner Walk Monegan to fire Palin’s ex-brother-in-law, and when Monegan refused, she fired him for no reason. Even though the Palin administration says they are cooperating […]
Watch this video clip from Friday morning, just before McCain announced his pick of Sarah Palin as the VP nominee. Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan, and others discuss the possibility of Palin as VP, her qualifications compared to Obama and Biden, her ability to be commander in chief, and even as a substitute for Hillary Clinton, […]
Stuart Shepard of Focus on the Family asked people to pray for torrential rain to start exactly two minutes before Obama’s acceptance speech in Denver, because he wants our next president to be against abortion and gays. I’m not kidding: Strangely, Obama’s speech had perfect weather. Which makes Hurricane Gustav extremely ironic. UPDATE: Read An […]
The McCain campaign is denying reports that Sarah Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan in the 90’s, but Buchanan himself says that Palin “was a brigadier in 1996 as was her husband… they were at a fundraiser for me, she’s a terrific gal.” Why is this significant? Well, let’s look at what Buchanan has […]
Sarah Palin’s longest political experience is as the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, so one might ask what the mayor does in Wasilla. Lucky for us, the Powers and Duties of Mayor of Wasilla are listed online. Here are the first two duties on the list: Preside at council meetings. The mayor may take part in […]
Republicans are saying that they might have to cancel, postpone, or at the very least scale back their national convention because of Hurricane Gustav, which is expected to slam into Louisiana as a deadly Category 4 or 5 storm on Monday. Note that Hurricane Katrina had weakened to Category 3 before it hit Louisiana. It’s […]
“It was a genuinely outstanding speech. It was magnificent. It is the finest – and I saw Cuomo’s speech, I saw Kennedy in ’80, I even saw Douglas MacArthur, I saw Martin Luther King – this is the greatest convention speech, and probably the most important because unlike Cuomo and the others this is an acceptance […]
It looks like grumpy old man McCain is finally turning his anger at one of his last best friends — the media. It has been widely reported that his campaign clamped down — hard — on McCain’s famous marathon media sessions in July, virtually eliminating his open-ended question time with reporters. And when he did […]
The McCain campaign is running an ad featuring Debra Bartoshevich, a female Hillary Clinton delegate to the Democratic convention who says that she will be voting for McCain, and encourages other Democrats to do the same. But when asked how someone like her who is pro-choice could vote for McCain, she said that as far […]
Wouldn’t this have been a good TV spot to run during the Beijing Olympics: “Sponsor” (60 seconds) Voiceover: “Ever wonder what Washington has done with your tax dollars? This Olympics is your chance to find out. For the last 8 years, the Bush administration has been paying China billions of dollars in interest on the trillions […]
A few weeks ago I did a post about McCain’s “frequent liar program” that gives out prizes to people who spam political blogs. When his program started, I suffered a dramatic (15x) drop in new readers coming to my blog from news aggregators like Digg and Reddit, but yesterday I noticed an ironic twist to […]
Over at conservative Michelle Malkin’s blog people are upset at McCain. Why? Because the Republican National Committee (RNC) is running a radio ad that, in Malkin’s words, is pure “hispandering”. The ad, in Spanish, tries to paint McCain as a friend to Hispanics because of his support for amnesty for illegal aliens (or as Malkin […]
