2008-06-25 11:05:00 Mark Soohoo of the McCain for President Campaign really stuck his foot in his mouth -- several times -- at this panel discussion as part of the Personal Democracy Forum 2008. Mark Soohoo says that one does not have to use a computer to understand the Internet. He also says that Senator McCain, is "aware of the Internet." But can he find it? Watch the video, where Tracy Russo of the Edwards campaign really takes Mark Soohoo to task for his comments. I guess McCain's aware of all Internet traditions too!

Clinton Aide Kantor Video Was Doctored - Kantor Did Not Make Statement
2008-05-02 20:28:00 I just listened to the video that was the source of the first video out and around the Internet which said that Mickey Kantor called Indiana people "White Niggers". After further review, he did not say it. Here's the actual video from the movie "The War Room":Mickey is saying that "they're shitty," and it seems he's referring to pollsters, and not people in Indiana. Then he does say "How would you like to be, but then the rest is not even audible. It would have to be doctored to have one be able to hear him say the words "White Nigger." As far as I'm concerned, Mickey is owed an apology by bloggers like me. Sorry Mickey.

Sanford and Aide Not Telling the Truth
2008-03-22 13:00:00 In rapid succession, two recent op-eds have been published by Governor Mark Sanford?s apologists with me as their target. The first by Ashley Landess (?Our S.C. ports must remain competitive,? March 5, 2008) was simply misinformed. Ms. Landess would be wise to do a fact-check on information the governor?s office provides her before firing off opinions. Contrary to her summary of my views, I have always advocated partnering with private companies to help raise funds for the future of our ports. I am simply opposed to completely turning over the management of our vital ports to a unionized company, which Governor Sanford has been aggressively pushing behind the scenes for years. The more serious attack was made against my character by Tom Davis, the Governor?s chief of staff (?Ethical issues required Campbell?s departure,? March 7, 2008). Mr. Davis was attempting to refute my statement that the Governor removed me from the Ports Authority Board because I didn?t support his agenda ...

2008-03-22 04:51:00 A retired Air Force general compared former President Clinton to Joseph McCarthy, the 1950s communist-hunting senator, on Friday after Clinton seemed to question Democrat Barack Obama's patriotism.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a speech Friday in Charlotte, N.C. "I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country," Clinton said. "And people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics." McPeak learned of the remarks while at an Obama rally in Salem, Ore. Afterward, he called Clinton's statement horrible and compared it to McCarthy, the Republican senator from Wisconsin wh...

It may also be the source of the Times gloomy reporting on the US economy. John Weaver, John McCain’s former political adviser said that he never talked to or asked Vicki Iseman about a romantic relationship with the Senator, because “he never had any reason to.” CNN contacted Weaver–and fairly easily it seems to us–after the New York Times hinted, insinuated and danced around the idea in yesterday’s story that there may have been a romantic relationship between Iseman and McCain.
