According to Talking Points Memo and the new york Times:
Another person who has contributed outside advice is former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, whom Mr. Obama has been wooing. Mr. Powell, a Republican, has a friendship of decades with Mr. McCain, but friends say he has felt excluded from Mr. McCain’s foreign policy operation [...]

Disgusting treatment of illegal immigrants, and a must read.
“It is no secret that the Postville ICE raid was a pilot operation, to be replicated elsewhere, with kinks ironed out after lessons learned. Next time, “fast-tracking” will be even more relentless. Never before has illegal immigration been criminalized in this fashion. It is no longer enough [...]
An Open Letter to Michael Gerson, Child-Killer
Dear Mr. Gerson:
I initally sent this letter to the address you make available at the Washington Post, michaelgerson@cfr.org, but since your secretary answered in your stead, I felt it would better to publish it openly.

Who Died and Left Comcast in Charge?

As many Pennsylvanians know, electing Chris Carney was a BIG mistake. First, he lied to progressives to obtain their money by pretending to champion issues he never had any intention of standing up for. Now he’s trying to get companies like [...]

Fun With Joe Lieberman’s Office
Riiiing….riiing….
“Hello, Senator Lieberman’s office.”
“Hi my name is Brendan Skwire. I’m calling from out of state. Listen, I hear Senator Lieberman’s catching an awful lot of flack for headlining an event for John Hagee. He’s the controversial pastor that McCain is distancing himself from, the one who says that Jews brought the Holocaust on themselves, and [...]

Bush in Israel, May 15:
On a visit to Masada earlier in the day with Prime Minister Olmert, Mr. Bush promised that the fortress, where the Jews lost their homeland more than 2,000 years ago, “shall never fall again.” Later, at the Knesset, he said, “Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists [...]
McCain Goes Flippity Floppity
The Real John McCain is double-talking liar. It’s a wonder his pants don’t spontaneously combust!

Invading Iraq was supposed to give us cheaper gas and greater energy. It was supposed to enhance our strength in the Middle East.
That must explain why, for the second time in a row, the President has gone begging to the Saudis for more oil, and for the second time in a row, has been [...]
