Too often we reduce our political leaders to sound bites, much too often to sound bites from people talking about them. So I spent the hour it required to watch and listen to Charlie Rose’s interview with Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, who is frequently mentioned as a possible VP choice for Barack Obama. I […]

Is there anything original about McCain’s campaign?
If so, what is it? Has he not played all of Hillary’s cards while hoping for a different reaction? The latest is McBush charging Obama with playing the race card. Wasn’t it Bill Clinton who said Obama was playing the race card on him? Isn’t the race card played when you […]

In 2000 and 2004, it was Democrats calling George Bush stupid. Republicans believed he was smart. Now in 2008, The Wall Street Journal, a Republican bellwether now owned by Rupert Murdoch, is wondering out loud if the Republican candidate isn’t the brightest tool in the shed. Note, in particular, the interview in which the author […]

Who is stopping the possible trial and punishment of Karl Rove dead in its tracks, despite the overwhelming evidence of felonious wrongdoing? Not the Pugs. It’s DINO (Democrat in Name Only) Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi claims that pursuing Rove and holding him legally accountable would be a distraction and an overreach on the […]

Says McNasty, the new name the DNC is using for Little John in his new effort to paint Obama as “out of touch” and nothing more than celebrity. Paris Hilton and Britney Spears made Little John’s latest TV ad in a childish comparison to Obama. You got to hand it to him, he sure is trying, trying anything. […]

I have got to agree with the link,, this has got to be one of the dumbest disputes ever.
For the last couple of years, every so often this problem arises. The most recent spate was because an obscure US governmental department changed the status of the islands from Korean to disputed. I really should not […]

Shades of Phnom Penh, shades of Saigon. When the Khmer Rouge went for victory in Cambodia, they isolated the capitol.
Afghanistan is starting to look very similar. And the Afghan army won’t fight; the population is riddled with sympathizers.
I know that Barack Obama wants to concentrate on repairing the country, but there may be nothing left […]

If a black man wearing a Che-beret and a Malcolm X t-shirt burst into pig-evangelical church and gunned down congregants in the name of hating conservatives, would that effectively end Obama’s viability?
Fleabus answers the above, plus links that remind you that you are the enemy.
Adding, from today:
Suppose Gangster of Love Obamapompatus is elected to the […]

Rather it looks like AP is coming close to calling it. Kaine is mum about it, always a good sign. While he has been my favorite for a while now, I was not aware that he was the first governor outside Illinois to endorse Obama. They are reportedly close and like each other. By picking someone […]

Another beautiful day in paradise.
