Russia bulldozes into Georgia ... but why are they so cocky? Because they know the U.S. is stretched too thin in the Middle East. A woman discussed this on Wednesday with John McCain at a McCain town hall meeting in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
All right, I can understand criticizing McCain over say, his proposed tax cuts ... which cuts taxes for the rich far more than for any other group, while Obama's plan will favor the middle class, but criticizing him because he likes ABBA?
Yes, heaven forbid we would discuss the fact that if elected, John McCain would be the oldest president entering his first term of office, and wonder openly if his age might affect his ability to lead. ABC's Good Morning America, broadcast August 10, 2008, wondered if age jokes should be off limits in this presidential race.
Democrats have been cited as embracing technology to more extent than the GOP (though a close look at YouTube might dispel that concept), and in an email sent to supporters Sunday night, the Obama camp has extended a technological hand to let you know (if you really, really want to) who his VP choice is first, via SMS or email.
Sunday on Meet the Press, when asked by host Tom Brokaw, Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) virtually guaranteed he would speak at the Republican National Convention, if asked.
On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Wal-Mart has been warning its managers that a Democratic victory in the fall would lead to unionization at Wal-Mart stores. Of course, even Chinese Wal-Mart stores have a union. Wouldn't want that in the U.S., though, right?
Fox's Chris Wallace asked Brit Hume to consider John McCain's potential running mates. Hume went through a list of choices, saying that McCain would go with safe choices, that he wasn't far enough behind to go for the "long ball," and that he certainly wouldn't pick anyone older than him (is there such a possibility?).
Did John McCain run afoul of copyright? His "Obama Love" video, which according to Unruly Media's Viral Video tracking service, was #1 this week (bitmap above since it will change next week), has been removed from both his campaign's website and his YouTube channel.
Heck, I don't know if they are brainwashing troops overseas, who, according to reports from the field during Barack Obama's tour of the Middle East and Europe, constantly have Faux News on, but it's sure suspicious that they seem to be the only news channel over there.
Bill O'Reilly was all over this. What a broad smile he had during his show tonight. Why?
A Fox News microphone picked up comments Jackson meant to deliver privately. These comments were pretty, well ... you decide.
You probably remember John McCain's "Bomb Iran" moment from last year. McCain just isn't good at making jokes (maybe he and John Kerry need to talk), as his latest one is pretty insensitive as well.
The co-host of a recent top-dollar fundraiser for Sen. John McCain oversaw the payment of roughly $1.7 million to a Colombian paramilitary group that is today designated a terrorist organization by the United States.
Groan. Ralph Nader, who many cite as the reason Bush won Florida, and thus the election, in 2000, is running for President again. Obviously he has no chance of doing anything except possibly handing another election to the GOP, but besides that, he truly needs to think before speaking.
In an interview with the Rocky Mountain News, Nader was asked if he thought Obama was any better than any other recent Democratic candidate.
Another instance of foot-in-mouth disease for a politician, or at least for one of his advisors.
Ah yes, another reminder of John McCain's age: another McCain senior moment. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't remind you that if McCain wins he'll be the oldest President in terms of his age in his first term.
On Fox (or as I prefer to call them, Faux) News on Sunday morning, Liz Trotta, former New York bureau chief of the Washington Times, while commenting on the latest about Hillary Clinton's Robert F. Kennedy invocation, mixed up Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama. It's a familiar and one tends to wonder, perhaps intentional error frequently made by the GOP and its supporters. Beyond that however, her joke about "knocking off" Obama was over the top.
On this week's season finale of Saturday Night Live, John McCain addressed an issue that is frequently brought up: his age.
In Georgia, bar owner Mike Norman has been selling T-shirts at his Mulligan's Bar and Grill in Cobb County showing a picture of Curious Georgie peeling a banana, with the words "Obama '08" underneath.
Despite the fact that Bush has said he would not become entangled in the Presidential race, it seems, on Thursday, that he jumped in with both feet. While traveling in Israel, in a speech to the Knesset, Bush said the following, in an obvious attack on Barack Obama:
For all the hope and excitement Obama's candidacy is generating, some of his field workers, phone-bank volunteers and campaign surrogates are encountering a raw racism and hostility that have gone largely unnoticed -- and unreported -- this election season.
