Axelrod Pals Can’t Decide on Cover Story
If David Axelrod is behind an attempt to smear Sarah Palin with lies spread by viral video, his team better get its act together. Hours after they pulled the videos down, Winner and Associates haven’t even decided how they’ll answer press inquiries about what they’ve been doing. Maybe David Axelrod is on vacation?
The New Inquisition
If you were to torture yourself reading Andrew Sullivan’s rantings, you’d learn that he considers himself a Roman Catholic who differs from essential Church teachings on… ahem important matters. Nevertheless, he’s willing to condemn Sarah Palin for the teachings of her church, since he asserts that she is required to hold these views as a condition of being in it:
Who Is David Axelrod?
In light of the news about David Axelrod’s associates running a smear campaign against Sarah Palin without disclosing it, a New York Times profile of Axelrod from last year becomes more interesting. Who is Axelrod?
Franken: McCain’s a Lying Old Racist
Al Franken took time out from a busy Senate campaign for the opener to yesterday’s Saturday Night Live. He’s as original as ever. Franken again plays the racism card without base, and (get this) says McCain is OLD! I wonder why people don’t think Saturday Night Live is funny anymore?
Meet ‘Blacklung’ Joe Biden
Allah captures nicely Joe Biden’s risible claims to be a defender of the Second Amendment: In an out-of-nowhere attempt to re-assure a southwestern Virginia labor crowd about gun owners’ rights, Biden — who regularly scores “F” ratings from the National Rifle Association — warned Obama that if “he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem.” “I guarantee you Barack Obama ain’t taking | Read More »
Obama: A Man Who’s Cast Tough Votes
I was curious about Barack Obama’s record of casting ‘present’ votes in the Illinois legislature, so I decided to go back and look at some Senate transcripts from his first term to see what more I could learn. I was surprised at what I found. At least in his first two years in the Senate, Obama seemed to have an unusual problem just casting votes | Read More »

Arrr.. Maybe Chris Dodd For VP?
Avast ye scurvy dogs! Lean in close, me hearty: I’ve a rare find for ye. If Ol’ One-Eyed Barack Obama be looking for a new First Mate, I’ve just the lad: Chrs Dodd.

Reid Blocks Online Predator Bill to Help Obama
This Congress hasn’t accomplished all that much, so you’d think they’d be eager to pass a no-brainer such as bipartisan legislation to protect kids from online predators. You’d be wrong. Last December, the House passed the Securing Adolescents from Exploitation Online Act by a resounding margin of 409-2. The bipartisan bill expands reporting requirements for child sex exploitation and child pornography, requires providers to disclose | Read More »
Joe Biden: More Hypocritical Than Most
Last October, Barack Obama explained why he did not wear an American flag pin on his lapel: “The truth is that right after 9-11 I had a pin,” Obama said. “Shortly after 9-11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security. | Read More »
Tom McClintock Goes After Charlie Brown

Carville Poll: Obama’s Behind
James Carville and Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg regularly conduct the Battleground Survey. It’s a national poll, but gives special attention to a pre-selected list of battleground states. Their latest poll confirms what many others are finding: a narrow McCain lead: The latest events in the presidential campaign have tightened the race dramatically.

Rangel’s Ethics Filings Full of Holes
Roll Call ($) reports that House Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel’s ethics filings omit critical details about a number of his deals: In June 2007, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) reported that he had sold a condominium in Sunny Isles, Fla., for between $250,001 and $500,000.

Howard Dean’s DNC Negates Obama’s Cash Edge
Barack Obama released his August fundraising numbers today, and it was an impressive haul: $66 million — the best month ever for a presidential candidate.
