Obama screws up, day two; this is annoying. On the same day that Senator Feingold and Majority Leader Reid send a strong signal to Mr. Bush about his veto threat, what does Mr. Obama do? He picks up where he left off on Sunday with his “playing chicken with the troops” quote and makes matters [...]
Mrs. Rudy Killed Dogs
Mrs. Rudy Killed Dogs Speaking of bombshells, Mrs. Rudy just gave her husband more troubles. I covered it on my show today. This is sickening. Judith Giuliani once demonstrated surgical products for a controversial medical-supply company that used dogs – which were later killed – in operations whose only purpose was to sell equipment to [...]

Mitt Romney’s Big Bucks
Mitt Romney’s Big Bucks updated “WholesomeWear” MSNBC just reported that Romney raised $23 million. Let’s remember, he’s at around 3-4% in the polls. Go back and read that number again. I’ve been telling people he’s the one to watch for months and months. Rudy raised $15 million. McCain raised… **crickets**… we’re still waiting to hear. [...]

Messy Exit
All of the Democratic candidates want out of Iraq. We are all united on this point. From there, however, the details get a bit messy. Why is anyone surprised? On the other side, pro war Republicans like McCain are running around Iraq with vests on while being supported by 100 Soldiers, 3 Blackhawks, 2 Apache [...]

Rep. Rangel: Obama Not Ready
Clinton gives Rangel a hug. Republicans are in a tailspin over Bush’s war, content to wait out escalation until the “fall” or late August while we watch our troops and the Iraqis die by the dozen. Andrew Sullivan says the only thing that can change that fact is a woman and her name is Hillary [...]

Sucker
Sucker bumped This is what passes for wisdom in Washington. A top strategist for the Texas Democrats who was disappointed by the Bill Clinton years, Mr. Dowd was impressed by the pledge of Mr. Bush, then governor of Texas, to bring a spirit of cooperation to Washington. He switched parties, joined Mr. Bush’s political brain [...]

Less than seven hours left. Jermone talks it up and Edwards is obviously “on fire,” then there’s Obama, but other candidates too, including Hillary Clinton. If you’ve got it, give it. Act Blue … more here

Rudy, Mrs. Rudy, and the Thug
I don’t blame any woman or man for marrying up. But there’s something about Mrs. Rudy that smacks of classic golddigger material, but maybe it’s only of the political variety. In an interview with Barbara Walters, former New York City Mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani said that if elected president, he would have no [...]

Another ‘Hardball’ Hit Job
As I said yesterday, I needed a good laugh as the week closed out. Unfortunately, I didn’t get it on “Hardball.” At one point in the show on Thursday the topic of discussion turned to a USAToday poll. But no, it wasn’t about Hillary’s chances for president. It is one of Chris Matthews’ favorite topics, [...]

Stupid Gun Law
This is likely the stupidest thing you're ever going to read regarding U.S. gun laws. Members of Congress and designated employees can bring unloaded guns into the Capitol. The lawmakers can even load the guns once inside their offices. But there is a hitch: They cannot bring guns through the District's streets on their way [...]

After the Veto
After the Veto Democrats have two big wins under their belt. Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid held tough and Republicans buckled, passing the buck to Bush who all of a sudden had an attack of spending guilt; this after instituting the most profligate spending spree since Lyndon Johnson, with one-quarter the affect for Americans. Anything [...]

‘MC Rove’
\”MC Rove\” The correspondence dinner was missing something this year. That was especially true when it came to Bush\’s segment. It was obvious that Mr. Bush felt very comfortable because he had his Fox buddies close, with Fox anchor Brian Wilson sitting next to him. It was a much different scene from last year, obviously.

Saudis Walk Away from Junior
The Saudi King will not be coming to dinner. Oh, and neither will Jordan’s King Abdullah. However, it’s the former that reveals a tremendously dangerous sign in the ever unraveling foreign policy disaster of Mr. Bush’s presidency. President Bush enjoys hosting formal state dinners about as much as having a root canal. Or proposing tax [...]
