I’ve been a fan of Barack Obama for a while now. I, like many others, was first introduced to the man when he gave an amazing speech to the 2004 Democratic Convention. Having been a Howard Dean supporter, and being a little disappointed that our party was sending John Kerry into battle with W, I [...]
Keith Olbermann, on Hillary Clinton’s revolting suggestion that continuing her failed primary campaign makes sense because “we all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California:”
[Your] actions open a door wide into the soul of somebody who seeks the highest office in this country, and through that door shows something not merely troubling, but [...]
In 1992, I was twelve years old. Precocious young Democrat that I was, I decided one day it’d be funny to scribble over the “BUSH-QUAYLE ‘92” sticker on the cover of a classmate’s notebook. When my deed was discovered, our teacher was called in to mediate the situation, and quickly threatened the entire class with [...]
Members of Bob Riley’s “Govenor’s Circle” get exclusive access to the Alabama Governor for a $40,000 donation… and Don Siegelman went to jail for giving Richard Scrushy a seat on a hospital board (that he’d held under three other governors).
Former Alabama govenor Don Siegelman has been released from prison while his appeal is being considered. From the judges’ decision:

“Hillary Clinton recently used stock footage of a little girl sleeping peacefully to make a political ad. The kind of footage normally used in commercials for pajamas and cough syrup. But she wanted to scare you into voting for her…”
Tracy Morgan on Achievement
The SNL alum made a guest appearance last night with a ridiculously funny monologue. The transcript and video is at the link above. My favorite:
Barack is qualified. Personally I want to know what qualifies Hillary Clinton to be the next president. Is it because she was married to the president? If that [...]
Clinton Touts McCain’s Experience (again)
I think it’s imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold,” the New York senator told reporters crowded into an infant’s bedroom-sized hotel conference room in Washington. “I believe that I’ve done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you’ll have to ask [...]
An incredible sight. From The Field:
Texas Republicans have worked overtime to make it harder for key Democratic voting groups to vote and be represented fairly. The redistricting games they’ve played are infamous. And for the Prairie View A&M University precincts, they put the early-polling place more than seven miles from the school.So what did the [...]
Clinton aide Harold Ickes says the rules should be changed for Michigan and Florida now that his candidate, Hillary Clinton, won the two supposedly-uncontested primaries. This is the same Harold Ickes that supported stripping the states of their delegates before Clinton had won in those states. It’s like the Democratic Party has our own little [...]
