Child Blue Patriotic Cheerleader Costume on Messrs. Greenwald, Ellensburg, Ellers and Wilson Go To Washington [Karl] How would a patriot act?

Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Friday repudiated any views of a prominent televangelist who endorsed him last month “if they are anti-Catholic or offensive to Catholics.” McCain has come under fire since televangelist John Hagee endorsed him on Feb. 27, but until Friday his response had been tepid. The Arizona senator merely said he doesn’t agree with everyone who endorses him. He said Friday he had been hearing from

Friends pay full price for lots adjacent to properties they get for $300k less than asking, they make sudden windfalls in commodities speculation (beginners’ luck!), people buy real estate and sell it to them at a loss, and anonymous benefactors buy practically worthless stocks from them at terrifically inflated prices: The spring before his wife began her White House campaign, former President Bill Clinton earned $700,000 for his foundation by

No wonder Barack Obama had to accept the resignation of foreign policy adviser Samantha Power: Power downplayed Obama’s commitment to quick withdrawal from Iraq on Hard Talk, a program that often exceeds any of the U.S. talk shows in the rigor of its grillings. She was challenged on Obama’s Iraq plan, as it appears on his website, which says that Obama “will remove one to two combat brigades each month,

Rick Ellensburg asks “Why do conservatives really find the Obama campaign ‘scary’?”  Then, in the patented Ellensburg style, does not bother contact or link to any conservative for an answer, but instead revisits his claim that the Right was a Cult of Personality focused on Pres. Bush. Ellensburg’s schtick on this point is so shopworn that it was one of the reasons he was exposed in 2006 as a sock-puppeteer. 

Allah Pundit asks: Same exit question as in every other post about this: Why hasn’t AQ gone public about it yet? That’s because the fat dead bastard is too dead to announce how they’ll retaliate.

A Barack Obama adviser has resigned after calling rival Hillary Rodham Clinton “a monster.” A campaign official told The Associated Press Friday that Samantha Power’s resignation is effective immediately. Power told The Scotsman that Clinton is a “monster” who will stoop to anything to win. She tried to make the remark off the record, but the Scottish newspaper printed it anyway. She apologized in a statement and the campaign decried

At Jawa, screenshots showing how the BBC website characterized yesterday’s massacre of students at an Israeli yeshiva first as an accident, then as an incident, as in: “Incidentally, I just killed your family.” Judging from the format, I’d say that the screenshots were lifted from the “Comment is free” section.  hf corrects me, below (h/t The Waterglass)

Cappy Ed has a good post up at Hot Air regarding the Clinton pardons, documents regarding which are being withheld by archivists at Clinton’s Presidential Library: In the final days of his administration, Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, who had been a fugitive from American justice for tax evasion and other indictments, apparently because his ex-wife donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the presidential library that now hides those records.

Samantha Power, one of Barack Obama’s “non-ideological” senior foreign policy advisers, is  currently on a globe-trotting PR jaunt for her new book on Sergio Vieira de Mello, the UN special envoy killed in Iraq in 2003.  Power is not exactly distinguishing herself. During an interview with The Scotsman, Power called Obama’s rival, Hillary Clinton, a “monster.”  Tres diplomatique, Ms. Power. In an interview with England’s New Statesman magazine, Power stated that Obama would engage with Iran’s Pres.
