Here is the perfect TV Ad for McCain I would like to see - sorta goes with his comments last night about how eloquent Obama was - Imagine a Black man tap dancing and the press fawning all over him - from Chicago: (Singing) Give 'em the old razzle dazzle Razzle Dazzle'em Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it And the reaction will bepassionate Give 'em the old hocus pocus Bead and feather 'em How can they see with sequins in their eyes? What if your hinges all are rusting? What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?...

Barack Obama’s free ride is ending. The charismatic Illinois senator has enjoyed a lifetime of hagiography, starting with an 800-word story in The New York Times the day after his election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. Now, Obama’s about to endure a going-over that would make a proctologist blush. Why has he sometimes said his first name is Arabic, and other times Swahili? Why did he make up names in his first book, as the introduction acknowledges? Why did he say two years ago that he would “absolutely” serve out his Senate term, which ends...

MANCHESTER, England -- Former President Bill Clinton sought today to boost Britain's badly divided Labor Party, warning supporters not to let it suffer the same fate as America's defeated Democrats. Delegates at Labor?s annual conference gave a celebrity's welcome to a leader they love far better than President Bush, who is widely despised in the party. Mr. Clinton charmed a packed auditorium with a 40-minute speech in which he lavished praise on Prime Minister Tony Blair and Treasury chief Gordon Brown, Mr. Blair's likely successor. In a reference to the political damage Mr. Blair suffered at home because of his...

LOOK out, Hillary - Bill is off the leash. The gobsmacking interview with Bill Clinton on "Fox News Sunday" is the first episode of reality television starring a former president of the United States. It's why God invented YouTube. Liberals love it, especially the Fox News Channel-bashing. Conservatives think it proves every insulting theory they've ever devised to encompass this gargantuan American personality. In truth, the whole performance defies reason. It was especially odd to hear Clinton complain that "Bush's neocons" faulted him for being "too obsessed with bin Laden." Really? All I ever heard from Bush's neocons - most...

Sen. Hillary Clinton has spoken up in support of her husband Bill’s defense of his anti-terror efforts, saying she’s tired of Democrats being pushed around on national security issues. "I just think that my husband did a great job in demonstrating that Democrats are not going to take this,” she said on Monday in remarks reported by Newsday. In a heated discussion with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday,” Bill Clinton said that as president, he did more than many of his conservative critics to pursue al-Qaida, and alleged that President Bush didn’t try to stop terrorism in the eight...

We can only imagine the flurry in Gov. Ed Rendell's press office last week when the news release was e-mailed en masse to reporters. There was nothing particularly out of the ordinary about the subject matter -- the Pennsylvania Department of Military & Veterans Affairs helping provide video phones to aid communication between deployed Pennsylvania National Guard members in Iraq and their families. But at the top of the release was a note from Trena Brown, an office administrator, that she had neglected to delete before sending out the communique. "Bet this gonna cause a lot of breakups. Can you...
