TDS - New GAO Report
2008-04-24 04:24:00 Rob Riggle reports on the new GAO report on Bin Laden. It seems like we had no real plan on how to eliminate Osama Bin Laden then and we don’t have a plan now. Very nauseating. If just had a President who cared more about protecting Americans than cutting brush on his ... More About: Report

Emmanuel Pickett
2008-04-23 07:35:00 I didn’t know Emmanuel Pickett but I wish I had. He was from Wallace, NC. He was the butcher, the police detective and he was in the National Guard. He was a remarkable man of only 34 years old when he was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq. NPR has a wonderful remembrance of ...

Hillary takes PA
2008-04-23 06:28:00 I’m not sure why people vote the way that they do. We don’t vote based on logic. Most of us vote based on emotion. Hillary Clinton convinced Pennsylvania voters that she is the one. I think that bitter-gate did hurt Barack Obama. In spite of the polls which revealed no ...

Countdown interviews Senator Clinton
2008-04-22 07:53:00 I don’t want to be overly critical but Hillary Clinton seems to be faking her little laugh. If you don’t know what to say laugh for time. Some of laughing just doesn’t seem appropriate. When Keith asked a question on sexism, she laughed. Anyway, to substance, I don’t understand her position ...

Obama Presses the Flesh
2008-04-21 03:14:00 New polling will come out Monday evening. I think that will give us an early indication of how this race is going. With the lapel pins, Bosnia, bitter-gate and now, Bill Ayers, it is unclear how all of this will play out. I personally believe that Senator Barack Obama has made significant ...
McCain Talks up his POW Experience Again
2008-04-21 00:34:00 As I have mentioned before, Senator John McCain will drop the topic of his military service or experience of being held captive by the Vietnamese into any conversation so that he can get the advantage. He was on “This Week” today and talking about health care. I colored the important parts in red. STEPHANOPOULOS: ... More About: Experience
McCain rails on Obama
2008-04-20 04:26:00 Okay, I think we know one of Senator McCain’s main talking points. He will have this one for at least another couple of months. Barack Obama , the product of a single working class mother, is elitist and out of touch with America. Where did Barack Obama do his community organizing? Probably in some ritzy neighborhood, ...

Ayers matters how?
2008-04-20 04:08:00 It wasn’t until Wednesday that ever heard of Bill Ayers or the “Weather Underground.” I’m sorry that I’m not up on the 1960s radical groups. But for reasons that are unclear to me, George Stephanopoulos decided to ask Barack Obama about this man during our most recent debate. It turns out that the Washington ... More About: Matters
Obama - Jay-z Mashup
2008-04-20 03:49:00 This is pretty clever. Barack Obama and Jay-z mashup. I wouldn’t have thought it.

Did ABC get a question directly from Sean Hannity?
2008-04-18 05:49:00 Come on no serious journalist would take a question from Sean “the weapons of mass destruction have been moved to Syria” Hannity . Would they?
