There goes the presidency. Who you calling “hegemonistic”, pal? It wasn't my plan to preemptively invade Iraq, and I've got lots of Americans standing beside me. We have to listen to an anti-semite pipsqueak like Ahmadinejad, with a dose of a socialist narcissist like Chavez as a chaser, with hyperbolic hysteria that should infuriate every [...]

What if Bush Iraqs Iran? cross-posted at Firedoglake Looking at the civil war in Iraq, it's hard to imagine what would (will) happen if (when) George W. Bush turns his talents on Iran. If we think we've got problems now — and we do — going into Iran would make the bombs bursting in Baghdad [...]

Brit must be steamed. Kristol is likely in a fit of complete collapse, providing he's heard the news. So much for their dire warnings to McCain on Sunday. Brit's '08 threat that McCain won't get to be the nominee seems more and more like a lot of hot air. However, for hardliners, McCain could still [...]

I couldn't decide what to title this post. All things right wing would have done it. As would have wingnuts gone wild. I just couldn't resist the graphic. The Republican right may be losing its most devoted media ally. The Washington Times editor-in-chief Wes Pruden and managing editor Fran Coombs, who have yanked the Reverend [...]

Is George Allen Ashamed of Being Jewish? –updated– This is just weird, which seems to be the description of the day. It's also very disturbing to me. But it certainly mirrors George Allen's other race issue problems. If Allen \”recoiled as if he had been struck,\” why? At a debate in Tysons Corner yesterday between [...]

Screw diplomacy, we don't need your stinkin' help. Never mind the civil war untidiness in Iraq. (YouTube above offered to remind everyone of the reality – see infuriating poll reference below) Forget about the Taliban in Afghanistan. Osama who? It's time for you people out there to get busy. Our president is delusional. His speech [...]

Brit Hume Threatens John McCain –updated– It started on Fox “News” Sunday. It continues today in the Washington Post. Brit Hume threatened John McCain's 2008 presidential bid on Sunday, with William Kristol backing him up. It was stunning, as one of my radio show listeners “duster” pointed out in yesterday's radio post. But as promised, [...]

President Bill Clinton is hosting his Global Initiative this week and he's got a big get. Frankly, the details, though vague and somewhat misleading, are insulting if true. Laura Bush as his opening speaker on Wednesday is fine, but if her speech contains anything about AIDS it's an outrage. Thomas Friedman will be moderating the [...]

RADIO: Taylor Marsh LIVE! I love the smell of victory in the afternoon. The rubber stamping Republicans are in big trouble. It's today from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. eastern (3:00 – 4:00 p.m. pacific) time, my radio show, that is. As usual, I've got lots of Keith clips, which are always fun, but today I've [...]

It's Iraq, Stupid I know there are many, many things on which to pound the president, vice president and the entire Republican Party, but is it too much to ask that we have a little focus? Evidently, it is because we've got none. Navel gazing has become the official Democratic Party pastime. The best point [...]

Meet Eric Massa –updated– This is an ad I saw over on McJoan's post that I wanted to share. Massa is one of our many fighting Democrats. It's a bio ad, but you'll enjoy it, even if Massa doesn't mention that he's a Democrat. UPDATE (8:20 a.m.): I've also just put up an interesting post [...]
