On The Trail Clinton Tells Tales of Real Life Struggles in America
The WaPo has an interesting piece about Hillary Clinton’s speeches on the campaign trail that portrays Clinton the listener. Early on in the campaign Clinton defined herself as a candidate who listens to the voters and she’s made a point of letting voters know in her speeches and her ads that she is listening and that the voters are not “invisible” to her. That was one of the big things that drew me to support her in this election....
TV Alert: Hillary on The Tonight Show (Video)
Head’s up Clinton supporters — Hillary Clinton will be on The Tonight Show tonight. Fox News has a wrap-up on what to expect on the show: In an intro at the top of the show, she did a sketch skewering her 3am phone call ad, fielding a call from Leno asking her to appear on the show before saying “we’ve GOT to get caller ID.” And in the monologue, Leno mocked her recent Rocky Balboa infatuation, saying “We have...
Thought for the day
Have Democrats and progressives crossed the point of no return? That’s a serious question. Why is deciding if voters in FL and MI should count such a difficult decision? That does not bode well. The progressive community has alienated about half of the Democratic Party and have made it such that non-Obama Dems have to go to Fox for “fair” coverage. Meanwhile, the once formidable liberal blog has essentially turned into an Obama 527 and have not bothered to...
Edwards Would Say No to VP Nod
After a keynote speech at CTIA, the annual wireless industry showcase, John Edwards was asked in a Q&A session if “he would accept the nomination for vice president.” Edwards made it clear he would not: “No,” said Edwards. He also “declined to say whether he would endorse Clinton or Obama.” Although it was hinted recently that Edwards might be readying to endorse Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Edwards touted her health care plan yesterday, I have feeling that the Edwards will...
Randi Rhodes Suspended for Clinton Comments
Randi Rhodes has been suspended from Air America for ”making inappropriate statements about prominent figures, including Senator Hillary Clinton” at a recent public event, that were caught on a YouTube video (WARNING: Strong language): I’ve never been much of a talk radio fan, but I used to enjoy listening to Randi’s show occassionally, until I grew tired of her propensity to attack our own. The misogynistic screed in the video above is astounding, simply astounding. Quite frankly I think Rhodes...
The First Amendment: A Tale of Abandonment
The First Amendment in the United States Bill of Rights ensures the following: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” During this Presidential Race, the First Amendment has been repeatedly violated. Somewhat surprising is the lack of concern over this fact....
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Crazy, crazy days, these have been. Reading the headlines crossed over from April Fool’s Day and finding that the stories that seemed like jokes were not laughable, at all. Little kids plotting to kill their teacher. Bernanke speaking in hushed voice about the current impending great depression recession. A Democrat actually getting a significant discount during a recent visit to a prostitute (well, compared to Eliot Spitzer). Sometimes I think I read/watch too much news. It’s making me jaded...
