I recall it being reported at the height of the sordid and tedious Monica Lewinsky scandal, that Bill Clinton personally felt he had not violated his wedding vows because in his view, receiving fellatio did not constitute adultery. Evidently Clinton had researched the topic at some length and found a kind of tortured reinforcement for [...]

Apparently the teenage pregnancy of Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol has excited social conservatives even more about the candidate (for the when-it-counts demonstration of opposition to abortion). According to Grover Norquist, the soc-cons are “over the moon” in their support.
That’s interesting. It reminds me that historically a minor or unfair scandal that is politically survivable (as [...]

Anyone out there who is tempted to buy Jerome Corsi’s vituperative new book trashing Barack Obama (which conservatives are unfortunately buying in droves), may want to consider what they’d be supporting if they did.
Careful observers will have long noticed that Corsi’s views tend to be more than a little paranoid and frequently even delusional (such [...]

The sin of omission that Hillary is committing with the re-telling of the Indiana plant moving to China (while not mentioning that it was sold to China during her husbands tenure,) is starting to gather some light. The following story was linked by the DrudgeReport today.

It’s a story Hillary Clinton loves to tell, about [...]

Here’s an ad some of you may not have seen. But now (wonder of wonders) since Indiana is a battleground state in the Democratic primary, it’s been getting plenty of air play during the local news programs.
Hillary Clinton:
Right here over 200 Hoosiers built parts that guided our military’s smart bombs to their targets.
They were [...]

Video flashback from 2004. Bill Clinton:”If one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes…” You know where that’s going. Ahem. Clearly these were not carved in stone.

Have you ever taken a moment to read some of the many Huckabee blogs that have sprung up over the past months? They’re really quite strange. For instance, here is a snippet from a Blogs 4 Huckabee post on Ann Coulter’s infamous endorsement of Hillary Clinton:
If the Democrats win, the American people will [...]

United has announced that it will charge some flyers if they wish to check a second bag. $25 is the expected tab if you don’t travel light.
I wonder; what will the charge be for Hillary’s extra baggage?
Questions about Hillary’s role in the Clinton administration, and about Bill’s business and philanthropic ventures since [...]

Finally. The veil of ignorance has been lifted from the eyes of many liberals.
One former Clinton supporter whom I do not know e-mailed me about a recent piece I’d written on the Clintons and said this:
allow me to apologize on behalf of all other liberals concerning the Clintons, though [...]

Bill Clinton’s recent emergence as Hillary’s principal anti-Obama attack dog has left a lot of people somewhat uncomfortable. We’re not generally accustomed to seeing this sort of bare knuckled political brawling from a former president (all the effort seems to be wearing Bill out too). Eugene Robinson supplies a reason for Bill’s furious anti-Obama rhetoric: [...]

Romney is walking away with Nevada and has declared victory. American Research Group’s last-minute poll in South Carolina picked up an enormous Thompson surge (to 21%). However the exit polls are saying it’s the McCain and Huckabee show. Byron York writes a fine but sad obituary on the late developing FDT campaign that could have [...]

The Tyra Banks Show emailed Michelle Malkin with some quotes from Tyra’s interview with Hillary Clinton (to be broadcast Friday). Hill proposes a nationwide reality show to determine what to call the First Husband…with dancing! And you thought the 90s were tawdry.
