How did I miss this, as reported by the UK’s Guardian? Why isn’t it a major news story in the U.S.? Ah yes…it’s all about Sarah. Biden’s comments, first reported by ABC news, attracted little notice on a day dominated by the drama surrounding his Republican counterpart, Alaska governor Sarah Palin. But his statements represent the Democrats’ strongest vow so far this year to investigate alleged misdeeds committed during the Bush years. “If there has ...

Fallout from the Georgian conflict is still widening, in what may become the defining foreign policy issue of the 2008 US elections. In yet another example of Bush administration “diplomacy”, Condi Rice is seemingly refusing to talk to her Russian counterpart about escalating tensions in Georgia - even over the phone. Two and a half years ago, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said U.S. ties with Russia were the best they had been for “quite ...

(2008-08-24) — Stung by the fact that Sen. Barack Obama neither considered her as running mate nor sought her advice on whom to choose, Sen. Hillary Clinton may take a page from Teddy Roosevelt’s playbook, and head up a third-party ticket to “teach that kid a lesson.” In 1912 Mr. Roosevelt rejected a corrupt Republican nominating process to become the presidential candidate of the Progressives, nicknamed ‘The Bull Moose Party.’ Sen. Clinton reportedly likes the ...

National Interest: I have decided I can no longer be a registered Republican. For the first time in my life I announced my support for a Democratic candidate for the presidency, in February of this year. This was not an endorsement of the Democratic platform, nor was it a slap in the face to the Republican Party. It was an expression of support specifically for Senator Barack Obama. I had always intended to go back ...

Both yesterday’s and today’s press briefings included no discussion of the report, nor a question on whether Attorney General Mukasey would follow through on a criminal perjury referral from Congress.

Today’s Justice Department report — which faults department aide Monica Goodling for “violating federal law” through politicized hiring practices — reveals Goodling’s bizarre and thorough way of ensuring she hired only the most tried and true conservatives. Besides asking applicants, “Why are you a Republican?” or “What is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?”, Goodling also judged applicants by asking them to name public officials they admired: Several candidates ...
