“Well let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s,” he said, according to a transcript of the press conference. I’m a mog: half man, half dog. I’m my own best friend. Whatever. It’s not like it’s Czechslovakia. More transcripts of Demosthenes: OBAMA: Uh, uh, are, uh, uh, uh, um. That’s — that’s a bunch — so — so let me tick these off. Deh… Uh, uh,

how Gigot points up the follies of Dems: Mozila: Trying to defend the mortgage giants, Paul Krugman of the New York Times recently wrote, “What you need to know here is that the right — the WSJ editorial page, Heritage, etc. — hates, hates, hates Fannie and Freddie. Why? Because they don’t want quasi-public entities competing with Angelo Mozilo.” That’s a howler even by Mr. Krugman’s standards. Fannie Mae and

Tsk. Vice Presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress and secret love child at 2:40 this morning in a Los Angeles hotel by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.

The Politico’s Carrie Anne Budoff tucked this nugget into her dispatch from Amman, Jordan: At a morning background briefing, reporters parried with senior advisers on the characterization of [Barack] Obama’s speech Thursday in Berlin as a campaign rally. The outdoor speech at the Victory Column could draw thousands of people, similar to the size of Obama events in the United States. “It is not going to be a political speech,”

O, most baleful Christian! Batman star Christian Bale was arrested Tuesday over allegations of assaulting his mother and sister, police and British media said. British media had reported that Bale’s mother and sister complained they were assaulted by the 34-year-old actor at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Sunday night, a day before the European premiere of his latest film, “The Dark Knight.” Probably jealous of Heath Ledger.
