The Bitter Sniper Fire Wright Debate

If you missed tonight’s debate, well, lucky lucky you.
Apparently, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos have decided that we, the American people, are more concerned with gaffes that have been beaten to a bloody pulp in every news outlet in the country (and abroad) than we are about issues.
Too bad we can’t vote them out of [...]

Out-Of-Touch Meter Says: “Boy” Trumps “Bitter”

While Obama’s taking flack for acknowledging that some people living in this country are “bitter”, a member of the GOP is yucking it up at a Kentucky fundraiser and makes the statement (about Obama), “I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button…”

When Tough Guys Whine

Jay Rockefeller (he’s not the tough guy) really showed his democratic ass when commenting on McCain’s military service (he’s the tough guy).
Thanks so much, Jay. What would Obama do without silver-tongued friends like you to demonize the service of all bomber pilots?
But as awful as Rockefeller’s comments were, just how delicate are McCain’s feelings [...]

Veep Media Time: Biden, Webb

In the Veepstakes this past week, there were at least two sightings of potential Obama Veeps.
Senator Joe Biden
Biden Argues That the Troop Surge Was a Failure in Radio Address
As the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, newshounds will be seeing a lot of Sen. Biden this week — though that will have more to [...]
