During the opening night of the Olympics, John McCain broadcast the following ad, titled “Painful”: I was struck by the high quality of the ad. It tweaks Obama’s celebrity status, and then unleashes a full-throttle class attack on Obama. “Life in the spotlight must be grand,” intones a woman’s voice, dropping her voice off for [...]

Some items of note today: 1) Remember when BO threw TUCC under the bus? There’s a WP article out today about some of the fallout from that. Some Trinity members feel ill-used. I’d say they have a right. The space under Obama’s bus is full enough now with Wright, Trinity, Pfleger, Rezko, Johnson, his white [...]

PUMA = Party Unity My Ass || From Riverdaughter today: The problem is the party itself. 2008 was the year that the party abandoned its principles.

by Bud White and Medusa In 2001, Gene Lyons and Joe Conason, both respected journalists of the center-left, co-authored The Hunting of the President, a frightening look at the Right’s conspiracy to destroy the Clintons.

Here’s a beautiful illustration of Hillary’s strength in Appalachia and Barack’s big problem in November. (Click and drag the slider to turn Appalachia blue!) The New York Times’ new columnist, Charles W. Blow, a specialist in race baiting those who support anybody but Barack, has achieved a new level of absurdity, arguing that Obama doesn’t [...]
