The most political new kind of politician
2011-12-23 16:36:00
A few days ago in the Weekly Standard, Fred Barnes contended that President Obama has been “utterly transparent . . . , it?s abundantly clear that he has one thing in mind these days: getting reelected.” The Democrat showed this most recently in the back-and-forth with House and Senate Republicans over the payroll tax cut–when he ...
Cook County Board: Where a Politician Refuses to Say Something Like a Norma
2011-04-27 19:00:00
-By Warner Todd Huston You gotta hand it to new Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. Not only has she risen above her goofy name and won a highly important political position, but she's achieved the art of almost saying something that she means. Of course there's another thing you have to hand to her. For a Democrat she's been doing a fair bit of cutting of the Cook County budget. She could do far more, of course, but at least she's doing something. Anyway, back to the "almost saying something she means" thingie......

Blue Island, Ill. Politician's Pool Party Ends With One Dead
2010-07-17 18:34:00
-By Warner Todd Huston If this isn't a perfectly representative Illinois politician story I've never seen one. There's misuse of public facilities, influence abuse, nudity, binge drinking, sexual harassment and a death... all the elements of the Chicago Way style of politics. It only lacks the bribes and payoffs that we always see, but as the cops become more involved, likely that'll come along in due time. Phil Kander has the odd tale of intrigue, wild partying, and death in the SouthTown Star of the southern suburbs. As it happens, Freddie Bilotto, the president of the Blue Island Park District Board, thought it would be wonderful to commandeer a city pool after hours, close it to the public, and invite...
Gov. Pat Quinn turns out to be just another jerk politician
2010-05-28 21:29:00
As a young reporter and a liberal years ago, and as Pat Quinn was just getting started, I believed that Illinois' now-governor was something of an opportunist who camouflaged his ambitions under a cloak of populist do-gooderism. He was one of those guys who was always informing the media about all the swelll things that he was doing for "the people." The city, young reporters quickly discovered, was loaded with such types. What differentiated Quinn from the others is that he succeeded in making a living at it.Establishment politicians generally found him to be a pain in the neck too, and, for that reason, liberal independents (generally of the lakefront type) liked him. Truly, he was the classic outsider who...
Police officer, politician, or poseur?
2010-05-19 13:25:00
If you have the sad misfortune to be killed indoors, you can rest assured- and in peace- you are not the victim of a vicious human being. Nope. You were the victim of a statistical anomaly.

Politician and Criminals
2009-06-17 04:38:00
                                                      Indian Politicians In recent times we have noticed that a strong relationship has been established between politics and crime. It is the proven truth that in democratic countries most of the politicians are blamed of having indulged in different kind of crimes. But in India the situation is worst. There are very few leaders who have not been blamed for indulging in any kind of crime. But it can not be denied that Indian politicians are the most corrupt and criminal politicians are compared to the politicians of other democratic countries. There is no such kind of crime in which any of our politicians have not experimented with. They have been found even in human trafficking and killings of innocent people.   Criminal Politicians A few days ago we had heard the name of NCP leader Padam Singh Patil who had been arrested by the CBI for his involvement in a murder case. It must be learnt that he is a close relative of NCP chief Shar...

A Politician deserving of support

Those of you familiar with my normal attitude towards politicians in general may find it strange for me to post such a note. However, give credit where credit is due. The following appeared on line in ScienceNews:http://www.sciencen-ews.org/view/generic/id/41250/t-itle/U.S._science_remains_far_f-r

Torygraph says,'Dutch politician Geert Wilders, the right-wing Dutch politician banned from entering the UK over his anti-Islam views, has landed at Heathrow.Mr Wilders was told he could not come to Britain on public order grounds Photo: EPAHe was invited to Westminster to show his 17-minute film Fitna, which criticises the Koran as a "fascist book", by a member of the House of Lords.But on Tuesday he received a letter from the Home Office refusing him entry because his opinions "would threaten community security and therefore public security" in the UK.Mr Wilders, a member of Holland's Freedom Party, condemned the British Government as "weak and cowardly" and vowed he would make the trip anyway.He left Amsterdam on a BMI flight at lunchtime, a party spokesman said.The aircraft touched down at London's Heathrow Airport at about 2pm.BMI refused to confirm that Mr Wilders had booked a flight with the airline, citing data protection laws.A spokesman said only: "We are obliged to obs...
Obama?s First Three Weeks:Neither Leader Nor New Kind of Politician
2009-02-12 02:42:00
By letting Congress cobble together the signature item of your first hundred days in office, the president has made clear that he’s not calling the shots in Washington.  As Camille Paglia, one of his most enthusiastic supporters, put it, “To defer to the House of Representatives and let the bill be thrown together by cacophonous ...
Austrian Politician Faces Jail For Remarks About Islam
2009-01-23 03:03:00
January 15, 2007 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Suzanne Winter, the top candidate for the FPO's [Austrian Freedom Party] municipal election, is facing up to two years in jail for referring to Mohammed as a, "child molester" and a "field marshal" who had written the Quran "during epileptic fits."She also characterized Islam as, "a totalitarian system of domination that should be thrown back to its birthplace on the other side of the Mediterranean." Winters made her remarks during a speech to the party. http://www.wienerzeitung.at/Des-ktopDefault.aspx?TabID=4082&Ali-as=wzo&cob=322068¤tpage=0The president of the Austrian Muslim community, Anas Schakfeh, warned that there is a very "wrathful mood" among Muslims and stated that violence could not be ruled out. These threats have prompted public prosecutors to go into full dhimmi mode, preparing to criminalize Ms. Winter's speech. http://www.ftd.de/politik/inter-national/303410.htmlTowards that end they have started an investigat...
Barack Obama: New Kind of Politician
2008-11-19 09:40:00
President-elect Barack Obama’s choice to tap former Clinton Administration Deputy Attorney General as Attorney General sees to indicate that his campaign rhetoric notwithstanding, he’s going to govern as an establishment Democrat. Holder was a not just Clinton Administration insider, he also brings with him some of the Clintons’ ethical baggage.  As Jennifer Rubin details, his conduct ...

If Obama is a new kind of politician, committed to change . . .
2008-11-02 03:45:00
. . . how come all these Washington, D.C. Beltway insiders keep up lining up behind him. Doesn’t seem they have much fear that he’ll shake things up in our nation’s capital.  Indeed, seems they think he’ll be sending more power they’re way. Is that the change the American people are looking for?
Sarah Palin - Celebrity Politician of the Moment
2008-09-03 21:19:00
Until recently, it was the John McCain party that was accusing Barack Obama of “celebrity status“. Who is the celebrity now? Heidi Montag can’t believe she’s not John McCain’s running mate. She might as well be. What others said: Dlisted says, “Basically, the Palin family has become the Spears family of Alaska. Somebody shake Brit Brit from ...
Best Speech Ever by an American Woman Politician
2008-08-31 10:27:00
So says Democrat and Obama supporter Camille Paglia of Sarah Palin’s debut on the national stage: We may be seeing the first woman president. As a Democrat, I am reeling. . . . That was the best political speech I have ever seen delivered by an American woman politician. Palin is as tough as nails.” I took particular note of those words because I had set aside Paglia’s Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson, a book I am reading for my dissertation, in order to prepare for my trip to the GOP Convention in St. Paul. And while I’ve read some criticism of the Palin pick this evening, notably Amy Alkon’s hard-hitting, “Palin by Comparison,” the more I read, the more I realize that she hasn’t been called Sarah Barracuda for nothing. Blogger Peg Kaplan at What If? links Harry Stein’s must-read post on the pick. Like Paglia, he was impressed with Palin’s speech on Friday in Dayton: the moment she strode ...

Barack Obama: Typical Politician
2008-06-19 10:57:00
I can’t say I’m surprised. Presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama has opted out of the public campaign finance system. Not that I don’t support his decision to forego public funding of his campaign. I would rather presidential campaigns didn’t drink from the federal trough. What this does show is that despite his ...

The Young Politician...
2008-05-22 01:00:00
The young politician had a dream. His dream was one which could change the course of history, so when he woke up next morning, he decided to follow that dream. So he got up and made sure to take a shower and brush his teeth and listen to the news. He was going to bring change to his country, but first, he was going to dress up like a girl! But then he decided the first change would be back into men's clothing. After all, he had to be taken seriously. His dream was to promote less government interference in our daily lives.He realized that he was still in the business of running the country, for there were still roads to build, schools to run, and Alumni Panty Raids to organize (he was still frat president). After a good weekend of night clubbing with his favorite intern, a revelation came to him, while he was talking into the large porcelain telephone, where he could fund all government programs by running the largest lottery ever run by the government. His only stumbling block was...
Kennedy is Ill but Still a Politician [Digg]
2008-05-21 01:42:00
However, he is a human being and I would not be so uncaring as to show joy over his illness like the liberals do every time Dick Cheney goes to the hospital. They hold gleeful death watches and hope this time it is for real. I cannot do that no matter how much I dislike the man.

The Politician moral police
2008-05-09 00:00:00
Camera....Lights.....Action....-. You would now not be able to see your favorite character on the big screen drinking or, even holding a glass of wine or, champagne. For a moment just imagine, the thespian actor Dilip Kumar, or, Shah Rukh Khan in the role of 'Devdas' without the glass of whisky. Imagine a dialogue where Devdas says that, "Ma asked me to forget Paro, The world now askes me to forget drinking", without the word "drinking" in it. Wondering why all this imagination!!!! Thanks to our beloved health minister, Mr. Anbumoni Ramadoss, who these days have nothing to do. After having ousted his biggest rival Venugopal, the AIIMS chief, it seems he is short of work these days. So he thought why not see what the Indian film industry is doing these days. Isn't it surprising to see a health minister doing these foolish things. Shouldn't they set their own home right before playing a moral police on these silly things? Out very own netas are often seen eating Tobacco,...

Rev Wright: "Obama Says What He Has To As A Politician"
2008-04-24 21:39:00
Hmmmm...BILL MOYERS:In the 20 years that you've been his pastor, have you ever heard him repeat any of your controversial statements as his opinion?REVEREND WRIGHT:No. No. No. Absolutely not.I don't talk to him about politics. And so he had a political event, he goes out as a politician and says what he has to say as a politician. I continue to be a pastor who speaks to the people of God about the things of God.SOURCEIn other words the Wright is saying "Obama agrees with what I am saying but says something different as a politician." How else do you interpret what he said?

Learning Is Fun: The Politician
2008-04-17 22:38:00
The politician is a representative which is elected to make decisions for its country. But not trivial dilemmas such as, “Should I go nighthawking in trousers or skirt”, or “Would entheogen be more preferable to diacetyldighydromorphine on the way to the crematorium.” No. We’re referring to highly important decisions, important decisions such as “On ...
Obama thinks he’s “a pretty darn good politician.”
2008-04-17 19:55:00
Hoo, Boy: Barack Obama may have added more fuel to the fire for those who want to paint him as arrogant or elitist, praising himself Wednesday as “a pretty darn good politician.” In a speech to Jewish community leaders in Philadelphia, the Democratic presidential candidate was asked whether the recent controversy over Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s retiring pastor, could lead to him being attacked by Republicans in the fall and create the possibility of turning his candidacy into one akin to failed candidates George McGovern and Michael Dukakis. At the end of a long response, Obama said: “Let me make one last point about the comparison to McGovern and Dukakis, both excellent men, but I’m a pretty darn good politician. And I can give a pretty good speech and I can connect and inspire the American people in ways that I think will become apparent. I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t pretty good at mixing it up. And so much of the attack machine that’s been built up is part of the...

Egyptian Politician: Saddam My Hero
2008-04-16 00:15:00
Following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian MP Hamadein Sabahi, which aired on Al-Mihwar TV on April 5, 2008. Hamadein Sabahi: and Israel" href="http://www.memritv.org/cl-ip/en/1740.htm">For me, Saddam Hussein was an Arab national hero in the struggle against America and Israel. By no means was he a model democratic ruler. Like all Arab rulers, his reign was full of violations of human rights. He didn't invent anything in this respect, by the way. Let me tell you, I was brought up as a Nasserist, and I am proud of this, but I was one of the harshest critics of Gamal Abd Al-Nasser and his state, when it came to human rights. Neither Saddam Hussein nor any of the Arab leaders is a democratic ruler worthy of being viewed as a model or being praised for his democracy. I have said this many times, before and after Saddam Hussein's death. But that autocratic, totalitarian, and tyrannical ruler, Saddam Hussein, met his death with courage and honor, that absolved all the sins he...

Six stages in the life of a New Labour politician
2008-04-08 20:02:00
The first stage is, if we may call it so, the virginal stage - that is the season of grand promises, populist overtures and effusion. (In the FV Gaul inquiry saga, this would be the time when the families of the Gaul crew were promised a thorough and honest investigation of the tragedy.) The second stage we would call the temptation and fall stage, which would correspond with the time when the Labour politician, now in power and overwhelmed with the giddiness of high office, succumbs to temptation, reneges on his promises and gives in to shabby compromise and complacency. (In the Gaul case this is the time when the 2004 RFI took place and when the Labour government, in response to pressures from various quarters as well as out of cynical calculation, decided to skew the investigation in a way that would bar any future claims for compensation)The third stage is when the Labour politician, now hardened and over-confident in his luck, is eventually caught red-handed. I suggest we could...
Washington politician talks the talk, walks the walk
2008-04-03 09:57:00
Politicians are sometimes accused of talking the eco-talk but not walking the eco-walk. While I'm sure that may be true for some many most, I have found one who appears to fulfill his talking-walking obligation. Steve Bernheim may not have a cushy office on Capitol Hill yet, and I confess that I don't know what his ultimate political ambitions are, but if he does eventually make it to the big time let's hope he brings the same eco-ethos that he claims helped him get elected as a humble city councilor in Edmonds, WA. You see, Steve is a committed proponent of electric vehicles (and if you check out the price (PDF) of his single-seater Myers Motors NMG car, you'll see how committed) who is actively trying to promote the greener alternative of transporting yourself with electric vehicles. "Ween ourselves from nature's black milk," [sic] is the goal he wants to reach, according to an interview conducted with KOMOTV. While the first step towards that end is the installation of a sin...
