Barr chiseling into McCain voter base / Washington Times
2008-06-04 17:19:00 Barr chiseling into McCain voter base / Washington Times Bloomberg News Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr Bob Barr's Libertarian presidential campaign is poised to play a serious role in this year's elections, with early polls showing him taking away enough votes from Sen. John McCain to give Democrats a chance to win states that should be safely Republican. Polls in Georgia and North Carolina over the last two weeks show Mr. Barr winning 8 percent and 6 percent respectively of the presidential vote, and in both cases helping keep likely Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama within striking distance of Mr. McCain in those states — which, taken together, account for more electoral votes than Florida, Pennsylvania or Ohio. "Barr does throw a monkeywrench in Republican plans in states people otherwise take for granted as Republican states," said Matt Towery, a former political adviser to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and CEO of InsiderAdvantage, an At...
Former Washington Times Chief Says Knock Off Osama And Obama
2008-05-29 20:57:00 Out of control! We cannot believe she said this on national television! Or at all! Former New York bureau chief of the Washington Times, Liz Trotta, is a sometimes correspondent for FOX News. She recently sat down with a FOX News host for a conversation about - what else? - Hillary Clinton's remarks about RFK's assassination. In the context of the subject, Trotta suddenly gave a very strange comment in which she mixed up Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden, and then slammed them both.
Study Warned of China Quake Risk Nearly a Year Ago

Katie Couric: The Party's Over
2008-04-16 15:55:00 Washington Times Inside The Beltway: Overheard one CBS News veteran in Washington, who shall remain nameless, refer to the network's struggling anchor Katie Couric as a "lame duck."There's a beaming Katie on her first day cloaked in a girlish jumper with Bob Schieffer with news prez Sean McManus in the background assuming the unwittingly prescient arm across the chest defensive position."Is she leaving? Of course she is. And it may well be after the presidential election, even though the public relations department at CBS has turned blue denying it. But there's a bigger question: Why do we need Couric ? or Charlie Gibson or Brian Williams ? to read us the news every night? Simply put, TV's evening news is a dinosaur that should go the way of the dodo bird."You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. I wrote the same dinosaur thing LAST week.

Napolitano Boned Apart
2008-01-19 00:15:00 What catches Fox News boss Roger Ailes's eye? Blonde hair, great legs, short skirts, perky boobs. In Judge Andrew Napolitano's case, he possesses none of these attributes. But then again, Ailes was still at CNBC and hadn't been Rupertized.He caught Roger's attention in a 1995 press conference denouncing the lousy pay of New Jersey judges. Napolitano had just bagged a cushy lifetime gig on the NJ Superior Court because he was "tired of being poor" making a paltry 100 grand a year. The ex-judge tells the Washington Times: "About a week after that, Ailes reached out to me and said, 'We are about to cover this trial in California. Why don't you come in and see if the camera likes you and you like it?' Of course, it was the O.J. Simpson case."Napolitano went to Fox News in 1998 and is Fox's "senior judicial analyst."

WSJ actually wrote about Lou's massive ego eruption. I watched last night's CNN debate for as long as I could stand it. Lou was blabbing before the debate started. I can tell you he IS running. Why? Because Lou's had an eye job removing the hoods and bags from his formerly beady pea eyes. Quite an impressive lower and upper eyelifts. Lou is an anomaly among men's eye jobs.

Washington Times: Paul's campaign is making the argument that he alone amon
2007-10-24 17:40:00 There's an argument going on among the Republican presidential candidates as to which of them is best positioned to challenge and defeat the seemingly likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in a general election match-up. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been the most insistent that he's the toughest GOP presidential hopeful who can take her on and beat her. But Texas congressman Ron Paul is also beginning to make the same argument. Stephen Dinan, Washington Time's national political reporter examines Paul's claims. Ron Paul's campaign is making the argument the he alone among the Republican presidential field can defeat Hillary Rodham Clinton in next year's general election. The Paul campaign points to a Rasmussen Reports poll taken Oct. 12-14 that shows their man leading Mrs. Clinton among voters ages 30-49. In that age group, they say, he leads her 47 percent to 44 percent. "Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton," said campa...

Washington Times: Investigating the Complaints of Supporters of Ron Paul an
2007-08-19 02:51:00 It's probably inevitable in the post-Florida 2000 political world, but some folks think this weekend's Iowa Republican presidential straw poll was rigged. The complaints are coming from supporters of Reps. Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul, who finished fourth and fifth, respectively. So far, the evidence shows little support for their claims. An e-mail being circulated from Paul Streitz at www.americafirst2008.com says that "dirty tricks" were afoot and that they cost Mr. Tancredo support that could have helped boost him higher than his fourth-place showing. His basic question: How did Mike Huckabee, who had no buses bringing supporters to Ames and who reportedly got hundreds more votes in the straw poll than he purchased tickets for, come in second? He said he has heard of media-conducted exit polling that showed Mr. Tancredo in second in the afternoon, and Mr. Streitz speculates that there was a questionable late surge in voting that toppled Mr. Tancredo and put Mr. Huckabee ...
