palin derangement syndrome continues »

Todd Purdum from Vanity Fair just wrote an article about Sarah Palin, and I can’t decide if he wants to take her down, or get down with her.
“Sarah Palin is still the sexiest brand in Republican politics….she is by far the best-looking woman ever…the first indisputably fertile female to dare to dance with the [...]

Cheney Two, Obama Nothing, Clinton - a Thousand »

While I have long thought VP Dick Cheney was the devil incarnate, no one ever said he wasn’t a smart guy. Cheney was also arguably our most unpopular Vice President evah! He looked to be hiding out in a bunker most of the eight years President Bush was in office, and was probably [...]

“Renegade: The Making of a President.” Wolffe’s Book on Obama Misses No Opportunity to Diss Hillary »

(bumped up from yesterday)
Huffington Post featured an exclusive excerpt from Wolffe’s book on Obama’s ascent to the Presidency. You can run over and see it for yourselves if you feel so inclined, I will not link to it. Much as I would wish otherwise, I must express bottomless contempt for the continuously disrespectful [...]

President Clinton’s Mother’s Day Message »

I never tire of seeing Bill Clinton and hearing his superb intellect on any given topic (the smartest President ever). Here is his Mother’s Day message:

Clintonomics Endorsed by Republicans! »

Bob Dylan was right on target back in the early 1960s: The times, they are a-changin’.
Those of us who were politically savvy in the 1990s knew that President Bill Clinton was a shrewd politician, and a great leader as president. He’s still revered by most moderate Democrats, although his image has been tarnished by partisan [...]

Politico Says Obama Snarfed Hillary’s Winning Platform. We Say, He Still Ain’t Hill. »

(Bumped up from yesterday evening.)
In his article Obama morphs into old rival Clinton, Politico’s Alex Conant posits that all Obama’s campaign promises which distinguished him from Hillary have now been thrown out the window:
A year ago today, with returns rolling in from the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, the late Tim Russert so famously declared, [...]

Jay Leno Is A Sexist Pig - Action Alert »

(Bumped up from this morning.)
Recently, my fellow NQ writer, Ani, mentioned this incredibly assholic, sexist, comment Jay Leno made at Secretary Clinton’s expense. Personally, I don’t care for Jay Leno anyway, but now I REALLY don’t care for him. The video is below (H/T to SusanUnPC for finding this for me), and the [...]

The Idiocy of Advocacy »

Or perhaps this essay should be entitled “Some Advocates Are Idiots.” The idiots are MoveOn.org and Americans United for Change, who according to Karl Rove, the idiot par excellence, are targeting moderate Democrats in a vain attempt to garner support for Obama’s budget proposal. I quote the Wall Street Journal:
Americans United is going [...]

Some Apologies from the Obamamedia Are in Order for Falsely Accusing New Hampshire Primary Voters of Racism »

Today the American Association for Public Opinion Research Ad Hoc Committee on the 2008 Presidential Primary Polling released a pdf report on the methodologies utilized by pollsters during the Democratic primaries. It is a long report, and a cursory analysis of it is available at Pollster.com. Much of the report focuses on the [...]

It’s March Madness No Quarter-Style. Help us Determine the Biggest Ass on the American Political Landscape. »

(Bumped up from Thursday evening. JOIN IN THE FUN! This is a riot! - Susan)
It’s that time of year. If you are one of the lucky Americans still working in an office atmosphere, you probably have been inundated with bracket contests tied to the NCAA Tournament. I love the tournament and watch those [...]

Oh, For the Days of Yore … or what might have been with Hillary as president »

BELOW is the Chicago Tribune op-ed that provoked this discussion on Thursday’s MSNBC “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue”:

Who’s Missing From This Picture? »

Today, Obama is holding a Forum on Health Care. According to the article:
The nation can’t afford to wait for the economy to recover before tackling out-of-control medical costs, President Barack Obama is telling some of the most powerful players in the health care reform debate.
“If we want to create jobs and rebuild our economy, [...]

Remembering The Past Is A Key To The Present »

As you know no doubt know, Obama just took his first big trip abroad as president … to Ottawa. That got me to thinking - it has been almost a year since Canadian TV reported that Obama’s aide, Austan Goolsbee, was assuring Canada that NAFTA was safe and sound, despite Obama’s campaign promises to [...]

Suggestions for the President - Open Thread * Update* »

Personally, I’m just a little frustrated that the American people are not being enlisted as builders of our own future. It’s as if we were the fourth leg on that three legged stool everyone kept trying to construct. Only we got thrown out with the packaging materials and the instructions!

Hillary Clinton Sworn In as Our Secretary of State »

(OF NOTE: In the next post, you’re going to learn about some of Secretary Clinton’s major plans for travel and negotiations. It’s all quite fascinating.)

Whether you are a traditionalist and prefer the Neil Diamond version, or a late night bar patron who goes for a [...]

Historic Videos of Past Inaugurations & A POLL of Great Presidents For You All »

No matter how dubious we are about the outcome of tomorrow’s inauguration — and with our eagle eyes fixed firmly on how Obama performs — it is fascinating to find these clips of past inauguration speeches, even Franklin Roosevelt’s and Harry Truman’s. AND BELOW THE FOLD IS A POLL FOR YOU TO TAKE: Rank [...]

Obama and the American Lefts: Part II »

[NQ Note: We are pleased to present Part 2 of the essay by a brilliant political strategist who blogs under the name “Sam Copeland.” Sam is an expert in political persuasion and worked at the highest level of the Hillary Clinton campaign. Read Part I, published last evening.]
In my last post, I [...]

The Racial Narrative vs. Reality »

In her Washington Post editorial, He’s Not Black, Marie Arano discusses the election of Barack Obama and mentions something no one bothers to talk about:
He is also half white.
Unless the one-drop rule still applies, our president-elect is not black.
We call him that — he calls himself that — because we use dated language and logic. [...]

Clinton Derangement Syndrome: It’s just like herpes. Incurable and can rear its ugly head at any time. »

“Barack Obama has superior judgment.” If the Detroit ‘Big Three’ had a dollar for every time a derivative of that phrase was uttered over the last two years, no bailout would be necessary. Not even the automakers could blow through that amount of cash.
The President-elect’s brilliance was the number one reason we were [...]
