Liz Trotta: There And Back Again

Yesterday Liz Trotta of Fox News made a dangerous mistake on air. Today she apologized. Unlike Hillary Clinton, she did not say she "regretted" if "anyone was offended". She said she was "sorry". That is how it is done. Contrast her apology with Hillary Clinton’s non-apology for the RFK assassination remarks.
Liz Trotta made a mistake. [...]

Hillary Clinton Op-Ed: Unapologetic and Delusional

This morning Hillary Clinton has an op-ed in the Daily News. In it she remains unapologetic about her RFK assassination comments. Instead she says that those who were offended took her "entirely out of context". She is "dismayed and disturbed" that we would misconstrue her comments. In other words, she stands by what she said [...]

Permission Slip

Hillary Clinton has a habit of planting suggestions into the political landscape. Today she suggested that Barack Obama might be assassinated, with her waiting in the wings to take up the Democratic nomination. She invoked Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination in June 1968 during the Democratic primaries as a reason for her to stay in the [...]

75,000

I didn’t want this to pass without noting that Barack Obama drew an incredible 75,000 people at a rally in Portland, Oregon yesterday. These are unprecedented numbers in a political rally in the United States. (Note to the Clinton campaign: that’s a lot of white people at that rally.) Oregon and Kentucky vote tomorrow.
The news from [...]

“F*** yeah”: Worse Than Abu Ghraib

They scrawled the words "Fuck yeah" on the pages of the Holy Koran and then they shot it full of holes. Last week a few American soldiers in Iraq thought it would be cool to use the Koran for target practice. The US commander on the ground, Major General Jeffery Hammond, has quickly apologized to [...]

Senator Edward Kennedy, the Liberal Lion of the Senate,  was rushed to the hospital this morning with a suspected stroke. CNN is now reporting that it may have been a siezure rather than a stroke. Everyone is cautiously optimistic.
