John Edwards Is Told Where To Get Off… »

I would not typically publish a further smack-down to a smack-down. But every now and then, something is written that is so spot on, it requires further highlight and big hooting Brava! Susan Estrich today published just such a piece telling Senator John Edwards what he ought to be doing. Here’s the [...]

john edwards: the paris hilton of politics »

John Edwards, he’s cute in an odd sort of way, spends a fortune on his hair, likes to primp in front of the camera, and has an infantile fixation of the phrase *you’re hot*.
He got caught with his panties down, and now, god save us all, there is a sex tape.
“Former presidential candidate John [...]

John Edwards’ Staff Infection! »

My jaw dropped when I read this column by George Stephanopoulos. You mean to tell me that the Edwards staffers who suspected the affair was real didn’t have the guts, not to mention decency, to insist that John Edwards withdraw from the Democratic primary?
… I’ve talked to a lot of former Edwards staffers about [...]

“Illinois Guv” »

Okay, you have to admit, there has been some pretty strange stuff happening around IL Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and not just that most everyone can now pronounce his name. The humorist, Andy Borowitz had this take on it 12/9/08 in this satirical piece: Illinois Guv Offers Senate Seat to Arresting Officer, Daring Escape Attempt [...]

Washington D.C. speechwriter Wendy Button aptly says So Long, Democrats, in her piece appearing in The Daily Beast. Ms. Button has written for Senators John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, as well as other national and international leaders. She really tells the ‘new’ Democratic Party where to go. Her words [...]

“What Sarah Palin Taught Us” and Hillary 2012 »

Many of us seem to be on a roll these days - the roll being calling out the degrading treatment of women by the Democratic Party. Yet, those loyal female Democrats are all too willing to accept this treatment, and vote for The One who stole this nomination from Hillary Clinton, aided and abetted [...]

Look Who Else Is In Bed With ACORN - UPDATED »

Yep, none other than John Edwards. Ahem. Oh, he didn’t just speak at one of their conventions, like some other Democrats did. No, it wasn’t that casual or innocent. He actually traveled with their president around the country. It gets really interesting around the 6 1/2 minute mark. Oh [...]

“Sisterhood Is Powerful” »

Since I have been discussing women in politics a good bit, I thought I would share this opinion piece from July 28, 2008. The author will be revealed at the bottom of the page:

Rwanda’s Women Are Leading the Way
I have recently returned from Rwanda. I was last there in 1994, at the height of [...]

Here We Go Again »

Round Two of the Sexism/Misogyny Palooza, courtesy of the Media and Blogosphere. Great. Just great. Like many of us are not still reeling from the HORRIBLE treatment of Senator Clinton. Yep. Just yesterday, Daily Kos and “journalists” went after Palin primarily because she is a woman, plain and simple. Check out this video(H/T to Roseeriter [...]

Finally: Personal Vindication, But an Unsolvable Problem Looms for the Democratic Party »

Last winter, following my own original research on Barack Obama’s views on abortion, which required days of laborious searches of every possible resource as well as serious fact-checking, I stumbled, by chance, on the fact that Obama had voted present, and then nay, on Illinois state senate bills related to the extremely rare instances in [...]

“Babylon” »

Dear Goddess, I am SO pissed off today. Why you might ask? Well, take a look at this. I’ll wait: The 2008 Convention: Tuesday, August 26th – Renewing America’s Promise
Okay - what did you see? As promised, Hillary Clinton will be speaking - among 274 other people. Okay - not really that many, but [...]

Entering the Fray »

SusanUnPC’s Note: If you missed it, you simply must listen to DCMediaGirl’s take on the John Edwards affair. She has known Edwards since before he ran for the U.S. Senate, and she knows all the “players.” It is riveting radio. Click here to listen to last night’s archived show.

OK, I have not [...]

How John Edwards Helped Destroy Hillary »

 
If the story were known last December of John Edwards’ “egocentric and narcissistic” sexual “liaison,” as he calls it, with a woman he says he wasn’t in love, at a time when he says his wife was in remission from cancer (strangest rationalization for an affair ever recorded in human history), there can be little [...]

John Kerry Proves That the DNC Can’t Pick a Winner »

If more evidence is needed that the DNC is expert at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, look no further than the junior Senator from Massachusetts, John Kerry; otherwise known as ‘Lurch.’
Instances of the DNC’s poor judgment keep piling up so it’s hard to keep it all straight, but four years ago, [...]

Odinga ate my saviour! appeared on our horizons with claims he is Obama’s cousin in a BBC news report in January of this year, two years after Obama visited his father’s homeland.

Another Day, Another FLIP!!! »

Oh, dear. Obama’s firm stand against off-shore drilling? *POOF* GONE!!! Yep. What a guy! What a man of his word - NOT!! It was just a little over a month ago when Obama “Assailed” McCain on this very topic! Yes he did.
I reckon “Backtrack Barack” is just going to flip or flop on every [...]

All Smoke And Mirrors, Baby (Or Is That “Sweetie”?) »

According to the majority of the American “press,” Obama’s Magical Mystery Tour was met was fawning, adoring fans everywhere he went. Oh, they just FLOCKED to him, didn’t they? Especially in Berlin - oh, yes, never mind the free food and two hottest rock bands in Berlin playing first, they were there to see HIM!! [...]

Not Illegal But Is It Moral? »

One thing they omit was that the challenging of petitions was done on the last day depriving the others of a response. Obama sent in a team of lawyers and they stayed until everyone was off the ballot, not just Alice Palmer, but everyone.
