A former aide to President Bill Clinton, and current informal adviser to Sen. Hillary Clinton, expressed outrage and shock on Friday after a videotape from 1992 surfaced allegedly showing him describing Indianans as “white n—rs.” Mickey Kantor, who served as campaign chairman during Clinton’s 1992 run for the White House and says he has offered help and advice to Sen. Clinton, insisted that the tape was a fraud and that

CNN’s Nancy Grace has picked him as an “Extraordinary Parent,” and The Detroit News are going to run a story about the bike trekkers. It’s great that they’re beginning to break out of the blogosphere and into the MSM some, now. Below, Robert’s email:

Author Elizabeth Wurtzel has a piece in the Wall Street Journal on Barack Obama’s relationship with the “Weathercouple” of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.  The eyebrow-raiser is this: Apparently, back when he was running for state senate, Barack Obama had fund-raising events at the home of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, and there’s been some press about the senator’s friendship with this controversial Weathercouple. Many reporters are well aware, even

Slate’s Melinda Henneberger and the Carpetbagger Report’s Steve Benen are still mulling over why Democratic voters prefer Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama. As previously noted, Obama speeches and rallies have a more evangelical vibe that does not particularly resonate with Catholics, as Mike Huckabee discovered earlier this year. However, it is an over-generalization that Obama struggles with Catholic voters.  For example, he split the Catholic vote with Clinton in Wisconsin, and edged her out

Yesterday’s social experiment, meant to gauge just how big a role racial perceptions are likely to play in this year’s presidential race, was, I’ll be the first to admit, something of a failure — though, if it’s any consolation to armchair sociologists, I can now tell you that standing in the snow at the intersection of Alamada and Federal in blackface while holding a placard that reads “Honk if You

This pisses me off, but I’ll be damned if I can find an angle that will make UN malfeasance seem urgent, so used have I become to it: Just weeks before it announced the onset of a global food crisis and the urgent need for donors to provide at least $775 million in additional funding, the World Food Program was sitting on a cash and near-cash stockpile of more than $1.22

Like Michelle Malkin, I have been remiss in flagging the story about Women’s Voices Women Vote — a group with more ties to Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama –making robocalls and mailings in North Carolina that left many wondering whether they were registered for the primary or not. WVWV’s Obama supporters, like William McNary and Glenn Smith, have claimed the issue is one of incompetence, not malice.  But the Institute for Southern

Spike Lee thinks Clinton’s payin’ for Wright’s brayin’, know what he’s sayin’?

I remember during the Spitzer-Gate she was opining that the amounts in question in her case were so much smaller that the publicity regarding the amounts in the Spitzer case would tend to support her contention that she didn’t dispatch her girls for sex.  I felt a pang when I saw what charges she’d been convicted of (the email one in particular seemed a bit like piling on), but didn’t

From an otherwise well-written article at Washington Monthly comes this astonishing information: The crash of a corrupt lawmaker is one of the oldest stories in Washington. What distinguishes this tale from the spate of others in the last few years is not only his party affiliation (all the rest have been Republicans) but his motive. Tom DeLay was brought down by financial schemes aimed at heightening his and his party’s
