Seems the Republicans are losing on the “character” and “values” issues. The pastor and spiritual adviser to the Bush family, the very man who presided at Jenna Bush’s wedding recently, has harshly criticized Republican John McCain for his lack of values and poor character and has endorsed Barack Obama.
Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell of the Windsor Village United Methodist Church gave the official benedictions at Bush’s inauguration in 2001 and 2005. Although a controversial figure for his first inaugural benediction in 2001 that explicitly excluded non-Christians, and for his inspiration of Bush’s “faith based initiatives,” there is no question that he is in touch with what Republicans mean when they discuss values and character.

Okay, so John McCain is finally the President of Missouri , thanks to 3,000 people who couldn’t stay the fuck home on Election Day. THANKS, YOU GUYS. Now we’ll never be rid of McCain and his horrible Alaskan spouse with her stolen wardrobe and hillbilly-like crowd of pregnant, barefoot children. When they move to their Presidential mansion in Independence, will they sleep in the same bed with Joe the Plumber, all wearing little night caps like little cartoon ... more

A day follwoing a Democratic televisted debate in Ohio, Mr. Edwards for the first time revealed his foreign policy strategy to possible voters at a congregation at California Institue of Technology. He challenged Romney, the presumptive Republican candidate, far more ang... more
Joe Scarborough: Let’s bring in now Republican Arizona Representative John Shaddegg. John, let me begin by asking you, did you vote against this bill because your feelings were hurt by Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and members of the Democratic caucus?
John Shadegg: No, I didn’t, Joe, and I don’t know a single Republican who did. It was a stupid speech by her, but it didn’t move any votes. On an issue of this importance, nobody...

A turbulent few months are expected on Capitol Hill
CHANGE is coming to Congress. The oldest senator, Robert Byrd of West Virginia (pictured), is to be shunted aside as chairman of the mighty appropriations committee. Mr Byrd, a Democrat, started winning elections 66 years ago, when his local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan picked him as its leader, or “Exalted Cyclops”. A senator since 1959, he is no longer a racist but is notorious for lavishing taxpayers’ cash on boondoggles ... more

So George W. Bush’s Texas pal, Karen Hughes, is out as America’s chief shill to the world, soon to be replaced by a fellow named Jim Glassman.
It’s illuminating to understand how much these two have in common. As Karen Hughes took on the job of winning the hearts and minds of people overseas - particuarly in the Muslim world — America’s reputation abroad was at an historic low. But those people were a... more

Finding an affordable house in a well-located, high-quality suburb is not easy, even in this climate of slumping real estate markets and omnipresent “For Sale” signs. The credit crunch is making it tougher than ever for buyers without trust funds or Wall Street paychecks to finance a dream pad in their favorite suburb.
So, what to do when one is priced out of the tony suburb with million-dollar homes, award-winning schools, and the ... more

Taking a public stand against torture confers little political advantage for members of Congress - and it carries the risk of being branded as soft on terrorism. That’s why the outrage expressed on Capitol Hill over the admission that the CIA destroyed videos of the interrogation of two al-Qaeda suspects appears to be carefully calibrated. Most of those speaking out are more concerned with questions of accountability and possible obliteration of evidence than t... more
