Brian Ross’s crack investigative team at ABC: Hillary Clinton spent the night in the White House on the day her husband had oral sex with Monica Lewinsky, and may have actually been there when it happened, according to records of her schedule released today by the National Archives.    While she was there!!!1eleventy!  The dirty, dirty bastard! Why, I’m scandalized!  Color my gob smacked!

The Andrew Sullivan Freak-out Advisory System [Karl]
It’s “red, baby, red” at AoSHQ, where Ace calls Excitable Andy a racist, based on his treatment of Ron Paul — a phenomenon noted here at the time.

This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Talk about a mashup. It’s the ultimate confluence of Marshall McLuhan, Andy Warhol, and Iggy Pop. It exists in that strange universe that could only be possible in this media age of total connectivity. When The Red Army Chorus did the “Yes, they do” answer, my coffee went up my nose. Somewhere, Ronnie Van Zandt is smiling. Update: I should have noted that
Sad News [Dan Collins]
AP reports that Snorky (center, top, with trunk) of the Banana Splits has passed away from a pulmonary edema at the age of 61, a week after forwarding the final revisions to his publisher, Ferrar and Strauss, of the long-awaited memoir of his life and times with the band. The Banana Splits were to have reunited for a colosseum tour this summer. It’s somewhat poignant, as the band only recently

Sunnis can’t be in cahoots with Shi’ites, secularists can’t be in cahoots with Islamists. It’s absurd! It would be like Republicans and Democrats setting aside their differences to provide a united front against the country’s professed enemies: Some bloggers are jumping all over Senator John McCain for his supposed “gaffe” today. According to The Trail, a blog over at the Washington Post, McCain said that Iranian operatives were “taking al-Qaeda

Gerson in the WaPo: The problem with Obama’s argument is that Wright is not a symbol of the strengths and weaknesses of African Americans. He is a political extremist, holding views that are shocking to many Americans who wonder how any presidential candidate could be so closely associated with an adviser who

Gleanings [Dan Collins]
Mmmmmmm. Sockpuppetty goodness: Personally, I found the speech riveting, provocative, insightful, thoughtful and courageous — courageous because it eschewed almost completely all cliches, pandering and condescension, the first time I can recall a political figure of any significance doing so when addressing a controversial matter. There were numerous manipulative tactics which the average cynical political strategist would have urged him to employ, and none of those were found in his speech.
Troubling Moral Equivalence Watch [Dan Collins]
Kaus has an excellent post up on the Throw Grandma Under the Bus Speech. Neologism: “equibblelence” Excerpt: Later, he says: So when [whites] are told … that their fears about crime in urban neighborhoods are somehow prejudiced, resentment builds over time. Who would tell them such a thing? Obama, a dozen paragraphs earlier, dissing his own grandmother. In general. Obama’s explanations of black anger seem intimate and respectful. His explanations

Tits already well exposed: “After fighting with a friend and getting thrown out of her hotel, Ms. Dupré sought out a nearby Girls Gone Wild bus, signed her paperwork and immediately began filming,” the news release stated. “Ms. Dupré spent a full week on the GGW bus and shot seven full length tapes that included nudity and same sex contact. Dupré later took a Greyhound Bus home.” The discovery was
