he Clinton campaign has issued a list of words and terms to the Drive-By Media in the form of a threatening e-mail to a New York Times infobabe telling them, "These are the words you cannot use to describe Mrs. Clinton." One word that's not on the list is "cankles." I guess everybody in the media is free to use the word "cankles." ...

Professional skateboarder Tony Hawk on Friday took a brief ride at the White House as part of a Father's Day celebration. Hawk, 41, skated in the grand foyer and the nearby Old Executive Office Building, with the permission of White House officials.

Tammy Bruce recently remarked while guest hosting conservative Laura Ingraham's radio show that America "has trash in the White House." Classy. I didn't think much of it until I started receiving e-mails from folks who ranted that the Obamas are trailer trash who had no business in Europe last week, in classically misspelled prose. ("The 0bama's are totally without class or refinemet. Wow, I'm so impressed with the trailer trash from Chicago," one man desperately in need of spellcheck wrote). This is one of those themes that makes no obvious sense. Barack and Michelle Obama are both Harvard-educated lawyers who...

by Mark Finkelstein September 26, 2006 - 17:13 Who would have thought that Howard Dean would come off looking like the relatively statesmanlike DNC Chair? Dean acknowledged that Chris Wallace was "tough but fair" in his questioning of Bill Clinton. Meanwhile, Dean's DNC predecessor, with all the class and dignity for which he's known, has attacked Wallace as a Republican "tool," suggesting along the way Tucker Carlson must be on drugs. McAuliffe was a guest on Tucker Carlson's MSNBC show this afternoon. Carlson touched things off with this observation: "It's interesting to see the attack machine cranked up again. I...

Book: Laura Bush vs. Hillary ClintonA new book by best-selling author Ronald Kessler – "Laura Bush: An Intimate Portrait" – has Hillary Clinton supporters hopping mad as it strips off the veneer of Sen. Clinton's image as first lady. Kessler's book hadn't even hit bookstores – it's released Tuesday – when the pro-Clinton magazine Vanity Fair did a pre-emptive strike on the book – attacking it as a "valentine" to Mrs. Bush with what VF claimed were "fluffball quotes" and "dubious factoids." Clinton allies have reason to be angry with Kessler. His White House tell-all paints an extremely unflattering portrait...

Top Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday that he has no intention of getting involved in the 2008 presidential race - unless Hillary Clinton asks him to manage her campaign. "I'll do anything in the world for Mrs. Clinton," the Ragin' Cajun told radioman Don Imus, adding: "I'm sure she'll tell us what her intentions are sometime." The one-time political pitbull had just finished explaining why he intended to stay out of the 2008 race, saying: "I'll be 64 and my kids will be something like 13 and 10 - I've got two little girls. And that kind of situation...

The White House is blasting former President Clinton for trying to upstage President Bush with a "we feel your pain" condolence message to the victims of the deadly Indian Ocean tsunami that struck Christmas weekend. Reacting to complaints that Bush was missing in action in the wake of the disaster, White House spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters Tuesday, "The president wanted to be fully briefed on our efforts [before speaking out]. He didn't want to make a symbolic statement about 'We feel your pain.' " The "feel your pain" reference was a direct slap at President Clinton, who had irked...

"It's the only presidential library...

Although it may not be noticeable to the casual observer, the new Clinton Presidential Library Building has a slight flaw. The piers supporting the cantilevered portion of the building are leaning slightly causing that part of the building to crook to the left. Famed mobile home architect and inventor of the doublewide trailer Cleetus T. Cornpone, who designed the building, said that the contractors failed to build the pier foundations according to specifications. “We built her jest like he drew her,” Said general contractor Bubba Thugley, owner of Fly-by-Night Construction. He blamed Hillary Clinton for the failure of the foundations....

Total vanity, but I just saw a photoshopped picture on Glenn Beck's site and thought it was humorous, but when I went to the actual Clinton Presidential Center website, Beck was right. Doesn't the architecture of Clinton's library resembles a trailer.

<p>If it's true that a woman has to kiss many frogs before she finds her prince, then Kimberly Devlin's lips must be turning green. Recent first dates -- they usually end there -- have asked her to pay the check, have lied about owning a car, or have fibbed about their line of work. The last man who asked her out, though nice enough, was a walking billboard for his tattoo parlor and wore more earrings than the 22-year-old Devlin could count.</p>
