Randi Rhodes “Quits” Air America

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Hillary, Media, Partisan Hacks

She called Hillary a “big f**king whore” live, and Air America suspended her. So instead of apologizing, she quit.
Folks, this was a liberal hack of the highest degree. At one time she even joked about assassinating Bush…she was literally that bad.
Now, I did listen to Air America when it first launched, and Al Franken [...]

After 6 days of hovering right at 49, and having Hill fluctuate between a 3 to 5 deficit, Obama opens up a big lead today.

Gallup has more…
Obama had a particularly strong showing in Sunday’s interviewing, and it will remain to be seen if he is able to enlarge and sustain a margin of victory [...]

Mark Penn Pushed Out Of Clinton Campaign

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Democrats, Hillary, Partisan Hacks

No longer Chief Strategist…and all because of his ties to the Colombian government. Who would have thought that this of all things would have sunk him.
From ABC:
Sources said that the Clintons were angry to learn about Penn’s work, especially because they had been told that Penn had recused himself from controversial clients and would restrict [...]

Michelle Malkin Gives Me The Creeps

Why?
Well, first off, you have to read this post where she mocks people who were trying to have one hour of no energy consumption around the world.
In response, she proposed the following…

Cranking up your thermostats.
Returning your CFLs.
Protesting PETA’s animal cruelty and animal rights/environmental terrorism.
Purchasing a carbon debit package.
Informing your local public school teacher of Al [...]

Or…shorter Hannity: Passports? But, but, but I want to show more video of that crazy black preacher!!!
Do note how Newt Gingrich doesn’t take the bait AT ALL. Good for him.
UPDATE:
Well, the video doesn’t seem to want to embed in some browsers, so here’s the link.

Penn On Obama: He Can’t Win General Election

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Partisan Hacks, Pennsylvania

Well, more Penn Spin™ today, and this is by far the most telling yet. Because it betrays Clinton’s strategy…attack Obama so much that he can’t get out of the primary season. Not that it’ll work, but that’s what they’re trying to do.
Here’s Penn’s statement in context…
Mark Penn made the comment during a conference call in [...]

If Obama Wins Mississippi Tomorrow, Has He Stopped Hillary’s Momentum?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, Mississippi, Partisan Hacks, Polls

Did anybody hear the latest Penn Spin™? You know, the memes from Clinton spinmeister Mark Penn that are so obviously intellectually dishonest you actually get dizzy from listening to them?
Well, here’s the latest gem about Hillary’s wins last Tuesday…
“We broke his momentum completely.”
Oh…losing my equilibrium…need to hold onto something…wait, there’s the truth…if I can just [...]

Bill Clinton Was On Rush Limbaugh’s Show The Day Before TX Primaries

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Billary, Democrats, Hillary, Partisan Hacks, Republicans, Texas

I missed it (obviously), but here are the details (audio here) …

Apparently Rush had a guest host that day because he was “sick.” Heh, okay…
Folks, this is an ex-President! That is absolutely nuts! But he apparently wanted to get all those ditto heads to come vote for Hillary so she could stay in the race. [...]

Obama Staff Member Hacks It Up

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, Partisan Hacks

Hillary is many things, but she’s not a monster…
In an unguarded moment during an interview with The Scotsman, Samantha Power, his key foreign policy aide, let slip the camp’s true feelings about the former First Lady….
Ms Power told The Scotsman Mrs Clinton was stopping at nothing to try to seize the lead from Mr Obama.
“We [...]

Did Rush Swing Texas For Hillary?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Hillary, Media, Partisan Hacks, Texas

I don’t think so, and the numbers don’t either…
- Obama won Republicans more narrowly than usual, 52-47. In vote terms, that translates to roughly 134,000 to 123,000.
- Overall, Clinton won Texas by just under 100,000 votes.
It’s a close call, but unless the vast majority of Republicans who voted for Clinton (more than 80%) did so [...]

Mark Penn: It Wasn’t Me!

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Democrats, Partisan Hacks

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the unravelling of a political phony.
From LA Times:
As the campaign faces a make-or-break moment, some high-level officials are trying to play down their role in the campaign. Penn said in an e-mail over the weekend that he had “no direct authority in the campaign,” describing himself as merely “an [...]

Quote Of The Day

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Disasters, Hillary, Partisan Hacks, Republicans

“The strategy is to continue the chaos in this party. Look, there’s a reason for this. Our side isn’t going to do this. Obama needs to be bloodied up. Look, half the country already hates Hillary. That’s good. But nobody hates Obama yet. Hillary is going to be the one to have to bloody him [...]

Gloria Steinem’s Shameful McCain POW Comment

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Dumb Things Said By Smart People, Hillary, McCain, Partisan Hacks, Texas

She was stumping for Hillary in Texas and I can’t imagine she will be again any time soon. Of course, Hillary’s campaign may be over soon so this may be a complete non issue. At the very least, Hillary should denounce AND reject the following.
From New York Observer:
“Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and [...]

Howard Dean Smears Republicans With Racism

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Partisan Hacks

As most of you know, I supported Howard Dean in 2004. Since then he’s turned into a disappointing, tired political hack. And this latest attack on Republicans is just beyond the pale.
From Georgetown Voice:
The Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and former Governor of Vermont contrasted the two parties’ presidential candidates, saying that with a [...]

Get Ready Folks…Another Obama Dresses Funny Story

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Partisan Hacks

I like how the title of this post is “Another Photo Of Obama In Muslim Garb?” The author does go on to admit that they don’t know if the garb in question is Muslim or not, but it appears as if it might be.
Sure…okay…
This is going to get old.

Don Siegelman, Karl Rove And The Politics Of Destruction

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Alabama, Democrats, Law, Partisan Hacks, Republicans, Video

I dare you to not watch this and get outraged. Because not only is the story of the key witness for the prosecution completely discredited, but it’s clear that Karl Rove was behind a campaign to get the goods on the former Governor of Alabama.

TPM weighs in…
60 Minutes’ piece is an excellent distillation of the [...]

Limbaugh Gets Off His Leash

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in Conservatism, McCain, Partisan Hacks

Rush Limbaugh, who has always had an abusive relationship with reality, has completely lost it. This from The Weekly Standard’s Michael Goldfarb quoting a piece in The New York Sun:
On Mr. Limbaugh’s program today, he said people should not be rushing to back Mr. McCain over issues of national security. The talk host said America’s [...]

Why The New York Chapter Of NOW Doesn’t Get It

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Gender, Hillary, Partisan Hacks

They’re nailing Ted Kennedy to the wall for endorsing Barack Obama. Why? Because Barack doesn’t have a va-jay-jay.
From Politico:
“Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal. Senator Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed [...]
