Make sure they're really on your side

If you're a presidential candidate and you've got a tax plan that you want to promote, it's a good idea to double-check with your "experts" -- especially if they're on the other side -- to see if they really support it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Senator Kerry's campaign cites me -- "conservative […]

Air America Radio

The new liberal talk radio "network" was booted off the air in Los Angeles and Chicago yesterday. Unlike most radio shows, Air America uses leased time to air its views -- very similar to the infomercials that appear on TV in the middle of the night. According to the owner of the two stations, Arthur […]

Gorelick again

Both The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post editorialize against 9/11 commissioner Jamie Gorelick's continued participation in the panel. Wednesday's most outrageous comment came from the Republican 9/11 chairman Tom Kean. Questioned about Gorelick's obvious conflicts of interest, Kean replied: "People ought to stay out of our business." Wrong, chairman. This is about […]

More Gorelick

Conflicted 9/11 commission member Jamie Gorelick is being called on to resign by GOP Rep. James Sensenbrenner. Commissioner Gorelick is in the unfair position of trying to address the key issue before the Commission when her own actions are central to the events at issue. The public cannot help but ask legitimate questions about her […]

Conflict of interest

Perhaps the biggest problem with the 9/11 commission is the presence of former Clinton administration deputy attorney general Jamie Gorelick. Like the others, Gorelick is a political partisan. Unlike the others, Gorelick should be answering questions, not asking them. For those who watched today's 9/11 commission hearings, you saw Attorney General John Ashcroft refer to […]

It's all about appearances

Sen. John Edwards is on CNN's "Inside Politics" and this curious exchange took place with host Judy Woodruff. Woodruff summarized some of the contents of the Aug. 6 PDB that is all the rage nowadays and referred to the FBI investigations taking place and then asked: Woodruff: Is President Bush off the hook on all […]

Lileks on Kennedy

Best thing said yesterday about Ted Kennedy and his Vietnam comparisons: Turn on the radio. The host is playing a clip of Ted Kennedy declaring “Iraq is George Bush’s Vietnam.” Well, Ted, we’re a long way from Vietnam, when American irresolution condemned millions to the gulag or to exile. Maybe we’ll get to that point, […]

ARGHHHHHH!

Neil Cavuto has John "Flipper" Kerry on right now talking about the economy, etc. But Kerry's response to one question was so weaselly it just had me screaming. Cavuto: Senator, would you be for raising the Social Security retirement age? Kerry: No. Cavuto: Would you be for means-testing Social Security? Kerry: No. Cavuto: So, Social […]

Religion and public life

John "Flipper" Kerry has made the case that, though he is a Catholic, those core beliefs have no impact on his votes as a legislator -- at least as they relate to abortion and the intentional murder (re: The Unborn Victims of Violence Act) of unborn children. Unlike the previous president who shared his initials, […]

Yeah, those bad private contractors are just evil, profiting off of war.
