[...] Ailes is the most successful executive in television,.... So it must have been disturbing to Ailes when the wheels started to come off .........Last summer, he’d invited Christie to dinner at his upstate compound along with Rush Limbaugh,....he fell hard for Christie, .......He still speaks almost daily with George H. W. Bush,... [...] “He thinks things are going in a bad direction,” another Republican close to Ailes told me. “.....He thinks the election of Obama is a disaster. He thinks Palin is an idiot..." [...] For Ailes, Tucson was a turning point,.... Ailes began to doubt Palin’s political...

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., reiterated his call for a U.S.-backed no-fly zone over Libya this morning and called Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi "insane."

A HIGH LEVEL OF PISSEDTIVITY!!!!!!!!!! I would say. I was not surprised when I saw that the 121st Signal Battalion Of the 1st Infantry Division was dissbanned over-seas. With the frantinizing of the Officer's and Enlisted soilders threw all the ranks, the widespread drug use and GOD only knows what else.

Poll on WGY Albany regarding Carl Paladino - loose cannon or not? And if so is that a good thing? Local reports saying 61% of voters now think poorly of Mr P after last week's incident. http://wgy.com/main.html Down the left side.

The vote was unanimous. Rod is no longer the Governor of Illinois.

Responding to the National Right to Life Committee's endorsement of Fred Thompson, Paul Weyrich suggested that Thompson's backers greased some palms. "I think in all probability the Thompson people were engaged with the National Right to Life people in financial dealing," Weyrich told the Washington Times. That's a pretty tough charge and almost certainly not what Romney's campaign wanted their big social conservative "get" to suggest (at least not publicly). Sensing opportunity to win more points from their own big "get" (the group's nod) Thompson communications director Todd Harris unloaded: "Gov. Romney is new to the pro-life movement and his...

Stephanie Burns and Ben Parkinson strolled down sun-drenched Fillmore Street with political thievery on their minds. Both are grass-roots volunteers for Republican presidential contender Ron Paul, a Texas congressman whose libertarian views might seem to make him a tough sell in this legendarily left-wing city. But Burns, Parkinson and other Paul supporters have been spending their weekends marching, staffing tables and knocking on doors in an improbable quest: picking up some of California's 173 convention delegates in the Feb. 5 primary. On the surface, the plan seems quixotic given general assumptions about California: that the state is too big for...

A St. Charles woman infected with HIV was arraigned Tuesday afternoon at the St. Charles County Jail as police continued to seek the woman's sex partners, which could number 100, said her mother. Angela D. Harris, 26, is charged with having unprotected sex with her 42-year-old boyfriend, but detectives believe many people may be at risk based on statements made by Harris' mother, Cathy Lenceski. Lenceski told police that her daughter has had sex with as many as 100 people in the past four or five years. It is unclear how many of these people may have known that having...

In this war freedom should come first not after! In New Hampshire the Motto is Live free or Die! I don't need Bush spying on law abiding americans and taking our freedoms. Anyone who surrenders a square inch of freedom to the government in the name of saftey is a traitor and should be treated like one! Let the Bush Fashists all drop dead! Filthy Commys! LET FREEDOM RING!

This revolution is so fake that even the poster of their adoring crowds are sometimes faked. Below the picture of the poster being published in the papers as advertising for Governor of Anzoategui Tarek William Saab, where he is shown surrounded by a crowd of admirers, supposedly on the celebration of the success of his first 1000 days in office. Except that the picture is simply fake as shown in the three blowups, where one can see that the people in the picture "repeat" as the whole thing is simply acollage of the same people repeated in the picture. If...

During the absolute sham that happened on the floor of the United States House of Representatives on Thursday afternoon, Rep. Maxine Waters of California finally admitted for the official record what many of us have known for a long time - Michael Moore runs the Democratic Party. Waters took to the well of the House near the end of what can very loosely be called a debate on the question of objecting to the certification of the Ohio electoral votes of the 2004 presidential election. In a quivering voice that betrayed either an oncoming eruption of tears or outright fury,...

Police Officer Accidentally Shoots Police Chief Monday, November 29, 2004, 3:51:37 AM An accidental shooting has rocked the small town of Robins, just north of Cedar Rapids. At three o'clock Sunday afternoon, 56 year-old Robins Police Chief Lyle Rusk was shot in the neck by one of his fellow police officers. According to the Linn County Sheriff's Department, which is investigating the accident, Robins Police Sergeant Carol Currans was handling a nine millimeter handgun at Robins City Hall. Investigators said the gun accidentally discharged, and hit Police Chief Lyle Rusk in the neck. Linn County Sheriff's investigators say Carol Currans...

Sen. John McCain blasted the Central Intelligence Agency on Sunday for its intelligence failures in the war on terror, adding that the nation's premier intelligence service has "in some ways" become a "rogue agency" that has betrayed President Bush. Commenting on reports that a shake up by newly installed director Porter Goss has prompted a wave of resignations of top CIA brass, McCain told ABC's "This Week": "This is a dysfunctional agency and in some ways a rogue agency. This is the agency that gave the president of the United States - when he asked for information about weapons of...

In the Friday's edition of the Arizona Republic Chip Scutari opines that John McCain is the GOP front runner for 2008. He claims that McCain is the most "influential politician not living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave." He's a national statesman with star power to match Hillary Clinton. He has hosted Saturday Night Live, appeared on Letterman and Leno and is a constant fixture on the Sunday talk shows. Scutari goes on to write that If Kerry wins, McCain will run in 08. He can garner crossover vote from moderates and independents and will appeal to "pragmatic conservatives." McCain thinks there...

I was reviewing the specific quote of Matilda Cuomo from 1994 when a caller mentioned it on Drudge. From NewsMax --- But for sheer unadulterated nastiness, it's hard to top the remarks of the family matriarch, Matlida Cuomo, who warned on the eve of Pataki's 1994 victory that electing him would cause racial unrest. "We could have race riots," Mrs. Cuomo predicted in a New York Daily News interview - an insult to both Pataki and the African-Americans on whose votes New York State Democrats were relying. =========================================== These people are whackjobs. What is wrong with DemocRATS? Their party has...

Reprinted from NewsMax.com Sunday, Oct. 24, 2004 2:21 p.m. EDTHeinz Kerry Called Political 'Disaster' Her remarks early this week criticizing First Lady Laura Bush for never having "a real job" show that Teresa Heinz Kerry is a political "disaster," two of John Kerry's biggest media supporters said Sunday. "Let me just say the obvious," former New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan told NBC's "Chris Matthews Show." "She is a disaster." "I vote with Andrew," Newsweek correspondent Howard Fineman quickly added. "Listening to talk radio in Ohio [this week], that's all they were talking about, Teresa Heinz." The negative assessment came after...

In the spirit of the Kerry campaign official who declared Vice President Cheney's lesbian daughter "fair game," let us now turn to the question of whether John Kerry's wife is fit to be First Lady. The issue is "fair game" because of how Teresa Heinz Kerry is behaving. Already wildly unpopular - her approval rating is an anemic 30% - she did the political equivalent of mooning her neighbors last week by insulting First Lady Laura Bush. Said Heinz Kerry in an interview: "I don't know that she's ever had a real job - I mean, since she's been grown...

ABC13 Eyewitness News (10/21/04 - HOUSTON) — The Houston Federation of teachers says Mrs. Kerry probably didn't realize she insulted millions of teachers when she made the 'real job' comment. The First Lady actually worked here in Houston at Kennedy Elementary and in other schools across the state. Many in the teachers union are endorsing Senator John Kerry, and union leaders say her statement comes at a bad time. "Kerry's positions on education are solid, and he does exhibit respect for teachers," said Gayle Fallon with the Houston Federation of Teachers. "He needs to do a little work with his...

p>To: National Desk, Political Reporter Contact: Sarah Gegenheimer of Kerry Edwards 2004, 202-464-2800 PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Teresa Heinz Kerry released the following statement today: "I had forgotten that Mrs. Bush had worked as a school teacher and librarian, and there couldn't be a more important job than teaching our children. As someone who has been both a full time mom and full time in workforce, I know we all have valuable experiences that shape who we are. I appreciate and honor Mrs. Bush's service to the country as First Lady, and am sincerely sorry I had not...

TERESA: TEACHING ISN'T A 'REAL JOB' [10/20 12:19 PM] From USA Today interview with Teresa Heinz Kerry: Q: You'd be different from Laura Bush? A: Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good. But I don't know that she's ever had a real job — I mean, since she's been grown up. What arrogance. Stunning, unmitigated arrogance! From the White House: Inspired by her second grade teacher, she earned a bachelor of science degree in education from Southern Methodist University in 1968. She...
