Confessions of a Bush Hater
Many in the right wing have called it Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS), believed to be originally coined by Read more
How The Far Right Elected Al Franken
“I don’t know if we’ve ever had an opponent who is so disliked by Republicans as Al Franken,” said Minnesota Republican Party Chair Ron Carey. “It’s one thing to lose to an honorable opponent, but Al Franken is not considered an honorable opponent by Minnesota Republicans.”
If Mr. Carey and the rest of the Republicans would like to see how they’ve come to realize their - as well as Bill O’Reilly’s worst nightmare - they need only look in the mirror.
When I sat down in 2002 to speak with Franken about how seemingly adversarial conditions played a positive part in his life for Read more
What’s So Funny About Caroline?
There seems to be a bit of a whining sound going around the conservative talk show circles about how the media treatment of Caroline Kennedy’s effort to replace Hillary Clinton as New York’s Jr Senator is quite mellow compared to their dealings with Sarah Palin’s attempt to replace Vice President Dick Cheney. Why, they say, is there so much less scrutiny of Kennedy compared to the wholesale punching bag Palin became. How come no hard-hitting Couric or Gibson interview?

Can’t Wait Until O’Reilly Announces Franken’s Win
Holiday - sorry, Bill O’Christmas - vacation is over.

The broadcast guys and gals will choppin’ at the bit to get to the real business of demeaning Dems and putting a wedge between Americans. And they’ll be more than ready.

You think tearing apart every word and move by President Obama won’t be a helluva lot more fun than the defending of the Bush debacle? It’s exhausting trying to nail the powerless Democats for the demise of America. Behind closed mikes, they’d admit that blaming the recession on a president-elect was a contortion of logic that even the Velvet Fog of talk radio, Mark Levin, probably found a bit Read more

Today Steve (3rd Person is so impersonally intimate) hits the oped page of the Philadelphia Inquirer…
Just a few questions, Mr. Obama - if that really is your name . . .
If Obama continues to ignore these questions, lawsuits over his eligibility threaten to tie up the courts for years, leaving us leaderless - which, as the past eight years have shown, can be very messy.
Here are just a few potential legal challenges to Obama’s presidential legitimacy:
Electoral College accreditation. Obama cannot be elected because no nationally recognized accrediting agency has determined the Electoral College to be reliably accredited under the Higher Education Act of Read more
