You Might Be a Raaaaacist If . . .
. . . you think Democrats are corrupt: The politically charged decisions by veteran Democratic Reps. Charles Rangel of New York and Maxine Waters of California to force public trials by the House ethics committee are raising questions about race and whether black lawmakers face more scrutiny over allegations of ethical or criminal wrongdoing than […]
Best Wishes, Chelsea Clinton
Dear Chelsea: You probably don’t remember when we met in West Virginia, but I remember how nice you were to my sons Jefferson and Emerson. Be that as it may, I’m very happy for you, and wish you all the best as Mrs. Marc Mezvinsky. Your wedding was lovely, and it’s certainly not your fault that your […]
Democrats and Ethics: An Oxymoron
As co-author of Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party, I am certainly not surprised to learn that Rep. Charlie Rangel and Rep. Maxine Waters have been less than exemplars of selflessness in public service. What’s interesting is how, when Republicans get caught with their pants down and/or their hands in the […]
New York vs. Chicago: If Charlie Rangel Resigns, Will Hillary Clinton Be Next?
Obama suggests it is time for Charlie Rangel to end his career with “dignity,” which prompts some musings by my friend Bob Engstrom: New York is the home of Hillary Clinton and the state invested heavily in her 2008 run.

The Democratic campaign charge, according to Robert Menendez of New Jersey, is to paint the Republicans as […]
Al Gore Cleared Of Portland Harassment Charges
by Smitty (via HuffPo) While one has precious little respect for the gentleman, bogus accusations are unhelpful. It seems that the actual content of the Portland harassment charges clocked in somewhere between a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for a propaganda documentary. The world is now a little less bogus. Yay.
Governor Dean, Keep On Pluckin’ That Chicken
by Smitty Newsbusters: Bret Baier took on former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean for accusing Chris Wallace of lying about Fox News’s coverage of the Shirley Sherrod affair. I’m interpreting this buffoonery to mean that, after the November election, when BHO resigns in a novel-length tantrum, and Plagiarist Joe is POTUS, that the Guv […]
Orwellian Crock, Or: We Took Control Of Health Care Away From Americans, In Order To Put Americans In Control Of Their Health Care
by Smitty (h/t The Lonely Conservative) In defense of President Obama, he’s only half as lame as some other political figures appearing in infomercials. I can do better than that: if giving good website meant giving good health care, we’d be liking life with this effort. Other than the realities that these ideas are un-Constitutional, […]
