John Kerry: Not As Useless As Usual

From Kerry’s Senate website: Tomorrow John Kerry will offer an amendment to the Immigration Reform Bill to add 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents — bringing the total up to 3,000 new agents this year – plus add an additional 100 helicopters and 250 power boats to secure America’s borders.    “This is a moment when […]

WTW: Mimi For Gov!

  Hey, y’all, Jebediah here. And, boy, do I have a great politician for ya today!  You know that photo “ours and theirs,” the one that compares the women of the Right Vs. the ugly beatches on the Left? Well, add another hot babe to the Republican side. (found via Wonkette. Go figure :))   […]

Democratic Response To W’s Immigration Speech

Now, I guess some on the Right are annoyed by W’s speech as being pandered to, to put it mildly. Some call it a token gesture. Quite frankly, after a long time of the Conservatives being ignored on this issue, I’m ready to be pandered to. And, at least it is a start. But what […]

Monsieur Kerry Stinking Like French Cheese

Bwahahahahahaha (via Martin at MVRWC through newsalert from the NY Slimes) The political situation has not helped some of the more prominent members of the Democratic Party. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, who was Mr. Bush’s opponent in 2004, had a lower approval rating than Mr. Bush: 26 percent, down from 40 percent in a poll […]

Kos Bashes Clintons (Particularly Hillary)

And, in doing so, he almost certainly ensures that she will win the Democratic endorsement for 2008. I’ll come back to that. In a story in the Washington Post Sunday (h/t Powerline dudes), Markos Moulitsas, ie the Daily Kosbat, tells us why Hillary Clinton, well, sucks, and takes some shots at the darling of the […]

The Defeatocrats Big Plan

After 6 years of whining about President Bush, and 12 of the GOP controlled House, this is the best the Democrats can come up with 6 months out from the November elections (from the Washington Post): Democratic leaders, increasingly confident they will seize control of the House in November, are laying plans for a legislative […]

WTW: This Is Gonna Get Ugly

Morning, y’all, Jebediah here. Get a load of this story: MACON, MISS. – Ike Brown is a legend in Mississippi politics, a fast-talking operative both loved and hated for his ability to turn out black voters and get his candidates into office. That success has also landed him at the heart of a federal lawsuit […]

WTW: More Subpoenas In McKinney Case

I reckon them prosecuter critters are just being careful, getting all the facts, laying it out for the Grand Jury (unlike in the Tom Delay and Duke Lacrosse cases). From Yahoo News: More House aides have been served with subpoenas to testify in the grand jury investigation of an incident last month where Rep. Cynthia […]

McKinney Lawyer Quits

Via the neoCon News Network (or so the DUmmies say :)) Meanwhile, James Myart, a prominent Texas civil rights attorney whom McKinney retained after her altercation with the police officer, issued a statement Monday saying he no longer represented her. He did not explain why she was no longer his client. “I am bound by […]

CIA Leaker Story: What Happened?

Like many, I have pretty much missed the whole CIA leaker story. The Duke Lacrosse story, as well as Real Life and the Stanley Cup Playoffs, has limited my exposure. However, Hot Air has a primer on the whole  thing (hat tip to Beth) This is one of those stories where, if you miss the […]
