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?

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?

The people resemble a wild beast, which, naturally fierce and accustomed to live in the woods, has been brought up, as it were, in a prison and in servitude, and having by accident got its liberty, not being accustomed to search for its food, and not knowing where to conceal itself, easily becomes the prey ...
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...

You Learn A Lot About A Politician By The Way They Lose: Hillary Clinton
2008-02-20 14:41:00
She has gone from being the presumptive Democrat presidential candidate to a clearly second place contender. The Hillary Clinton campaign must be shell shocked at the incredible downturn of events against Barack Omama. Even with Hillary's complete change in campaign management and direction she has not been able to make any headway against the momentum of the Obama campaign. Thinking back to how vicious Hillary can be to those around her I for one most definitely would not want to be around her right about now. Barack Obama on the other hand must be sbaolutely jubilant with his unexpected success so far. And it does not look like the momentum will be slowing down anytime soon. Six months ago John McCain was dead in the water, no money and no delegates. Now he is the all but assured Republican candidate, much to the frustration to many conservatives such as myself. In a race with McCain against Obama I will have to come down on the side of Obama at this time. More on my thinking alo...
