On Friday, the typical political bad news document dump day, the Obama campaign released the last 10 years of Sen. Joe Biden's tax returns. The documents reveal once again that Democrats see philanthropic giving as paying your taxes -- and little more. Biden's adjusted gross income never dropped below $200k and he never gave more […]
I'm not sure Howard Kurtz, who I generally respect, saw the same interview I saw. But when Palin seemed puzzled by a question about the Bush Doctrine -- which has several possible meanings -- Gibson explained what he meant without making it sound like a gotcha moment. There's an old journalistic (and false) axiom that […]
Late last week, Sen. Barack Obama's campaign took aim at Sen. John McCain, painting him as old and a luddite. The ad mocks McCain for not knowing how to use a computer or send an e-mail. Problem, the reason McCain doesn't use a computer is due to the fact that the most ubiquitous interface for […]
Via Patterico comes these videos comparing how ABC News reporter Charlie Gibson interviews a Democrat with little accomplishment running for president... ... versus how Gibson interviews a Republican governor who took on and took out a corrupt GOP governor and worked to reform state government... . There's a lot you can say about the disparate […]
Hat tip to Jonah Goldberg on this AP news story. Palin tries to defend qualifications in interview As Goldberg notes, we can have all sorts of fun with this: Headlines you won't see: Obama tries to defend his disturbing ties to criminals, terrorist, in interview. Biden tries to defend crazy ideas in interview. Associated Press […]
It's a little bit sad that the McCain campaign took a look at the mainstream media littered with Obama cheerleaders and decided that the fairest coverage they could get was from ABC News' Charlie Gibson. So, Gov. Sarah Palin sat down with Charlie and he proceeded to demonstrate his incompetence. GIBSON: You said recently, in […]
It's been seven years since 19 terrorists hijacked airliners and killed thousands of people. Few people would've hoped we wouldn't have suffered another terrorist attack in seven years time. Like him or hate him, only the most blinkered partisan would refuse to give President George W. Bush at least some credit for that record. The […]
Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen is losing it. From his column yesterday: In the biographies of both presidential candidates are episodes of pure wonderment. No man can read about McCain's time as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam and not wonder, "Could I do that?" For most of us, the answer -- the truthful […]
Chuck Graham is a state senator. I'm not sure which state he's a senator in, but he's obviously an Obama backer and you know he's got faith in Obama. Faith in Obama's running mate? Maybe not so much. Doesn't Biden know that Obama is the only one, once elected, who can make the waters recede, […]
