IRAQ: Hail Mary Baker Rules Out Victory We've been hearing James Baker III talking about the bi-partisan commission all over the place. He's widely respected in every corner, though I have a particular disdain for his part in the 2000 election. However, that doesn't mean he's not good at what he does. One thing I [...]

Hit 'Em Where it Hurts No matter where that is. Don't tell me the light has finally dawned for the Dems. The Democratic Party is getting personal and it's about time. The Republicans need a dose of their own medicine, which is likely to make them choke before they are made to swallow. If the [...]

IRAQ: Going – Going – Gone The British are leaving. I could just stop with that sentence, because it's not only the lede but signifies that the bottom just dropped out of George W. Bush's “stay the course” fantasy. It also represents the final, complete and total collapse of Tony Blair's hope of salvaging his [...]

Hastert's 'Palace Guard' AP’s John Solomon is back and he's after Harry Reid again (more here). So in honor of his obtuseness, let us visit what a real scandal looks like. It's fat, very, very fat and has a sexual predator at its center. It goes like this. Dennis Hastert's chief of staff was told [...]

It's a twofer for St. John. Not only does he blame former President Bill Clinton for North Korea getting nukes, but also attacks Senator Hillary Clinton at the same time. Wow, you can't get a better sound bite for the wingnuts than this Bill-Hillary blast. However, it would really help if St. John actually knew [...]
