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 […]

Editors Missing, Call The FBI

How the heck did the Al Reuters editors allow this into the article at all, much less the first paragraph? At 74, Edward Kennedy still roars as one of America’s leading liberal voices, longest serving senators and most polarizing political figures. Gee, ya think? The rest is just a political ad for Teddy.

WTW: Rummy’s All Good

Good to see that W is a stand up guy, unlike others: WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush sharply defended Donald Rumsfeld on Tuesday, saying the embattled Pentagon chief is doing a “fine job” despite calls for his resignation from six retired military generals. Maybe some of the GOP Congress Critters should try taking a stand, […]

Kooky McKinney Report

Hey, y’all, Jebediah here. Teach may be off of politics today with them Devils taking the Atlantic (damnyankees), but I am on the case. The Atlanta Constitution Journal has some info from the official police report involving Kooky McKinney (h/t Bluto at The Jawa Report): The official police report on Rep. Cynthia McKinney’s clash with […]

Bush Taps Portman As Budget Director. WTF?

Perhaps W has gone a bit too far this time. I know that he wants to be the President of all Americans, rather then just the leader of his Party, the way Slick was, but I find it highly idiotic that he is going to pander to Hollyweird by picking Natalie Portman as friggin’ Budget […]

Libby Sets It Straight On Plame

I’m surprised that this story hasn’t seen wider airplay in either the Right-O-Sphere or in Liberal land: An indicted former White House aide does not contend that President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney ordered him to leak the name of a CIA officer whose husband criticized the administration’s  Iraq policies, the aide’s lawyers […]

McKinney An Embarrasment

Looks like folks in the Atlanta area are getting pretty tired of Kooky McKinney. Witness this editorial from the Valdosta Daily Times (an Atlanta area paper) As a federal prosecutor decides whether to press charges against Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., we ask ourselves why she feels the need to embarrass her home state. This controversy is gaining […]
