OBAMA WATCH… A GQ review it was not. The other day, Jeff Greenfield put a
picture of Senator Barack Obama up alongside President Ahmadinejad of Iran.
What was the supposed significant comparison? They both wear open color shirts
with jackets, instead of a suit and tie. Greenfield then suggested that this
wasn't going to be a good comparison for Obama. Kevin Drum talks about this
very incident today.
Obama is on the grittle. First we had Republican strategist Ed Rogers sliming Obama through his middle name, which is Hussein.
Now we get Greenfield comparing the senator to Ahmadinejad.
Even though I have no dog in the '08 fight yet, it's good to see Salon writing
about \”Obama's
Magic.\” There's heat, then there's a blast furnace. The New York Post takes another swipe, using his middle name for added emphasis.
E.J. Dionne says Obama is good for Senator Clinton.
Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, is
gone.
He flew the coup yesterday. Steve
Clemons has more. Very interesting development, which could have serious
ramifications.
A new low, even for the murdering sadists roaming Iraq.
A suicide bomber targeting laborers killed 60 people Tuesday in Baghdad and
wounded 220 others, Iraqi officials said.A pickup truck, loaded with about 440 pounds (200 kilograms) of explosives,
pulled into central Baghdad's Tayaran Square as hundreds of unemployed Iraqis
holding picks and shovels gathered seeking a day's work.
Pinochet gets a pass?
Fed holds rates at 5.25%, which is a perfect segue to BONDDAD, a brand new
economic blog. I will contribute to the blog when I cover union stories. Check it out.
An American whackjob
slithers out from under his rock and heads to Iran in order to denounce deny the
Holocaust, yet again. Don't miss the news clip interview today on my radio show.
It makes my weirder than fiction segment.
Speaking of whackjobs, Ken
doll Sean Hannity got a freebie trip to Iraq, compliments of the American
taxpayer. He slummed along with Rummy, then offered up a
\">nauseating interview with him on Fox.
Now if we could only get Sean to resign because of all his wingnut lies we'd
really be on a roll.
Then there's the really important news.
Yikes. I better inform my husband.
