Guest Post by Adam It’s not so much a rule as an instinct: I generally cringe when the first thing someone says to me is how comfortable they are with black people. (Uh, thanks?) It’s partially because I’m one of those people who happens to believe everyone’s a little racist. But that doesn’t really matter […]
Guest Post by Adam As a regular CR reader, I know people love these so I’ll try my best to reproduce one. Apparently a Yeshiva student stole Obama’s prayer from the Western Wall (it’s a custom to insert a small piece of paper with a prayer into the cracks…at this point, the cracks in the […]
Guest Post by Adam Bill O’Reilly has absolutely no sense of proportion, as befits someone who is essentially a walking violation of Godwin’s Law. But earlier this week, he outdid himself, as he sometimes does: While discussing MoveOn.org’s “Petition Against Fox’s Racist & Hate-Filled Smears” on the July 23 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly […]
Guest Post by Adam Earlier this week, when CBS was revealed as having edited an interview in a manner that omitted a pretty serious foreign policy error on McCain’s part, I assumed the problem was ignorance, rather than a deliberate effort to hide what had happened. It’s one of the major shortcomings of the evening […]
Guest Post by dnA Y’all know the drill. Here’s my best Steve B. impression: For once, I agree with David Broder, who offers a “mixed verdict” from Democratic pollster Peter Hart who is “endorsing Obama’s position on caucuses, proportional representation and the Florida-Michigan dispute, and Clinton’s stance on the superdelegates.” Both candidates knew the rules […]
We can all get drunk and/or go to sleep now. Exit polls here and here. It’s only 4:35 in Hawaii, so I wouldn’t expect results soon. Good night everyone, it’s been lovely. Steve’s feeling good and will be back blogging tomorrow. Thanks for everything! Peace, dnA
Guest Post by dnA I’ll try to fill CB’s shoes again tonight with today’s roundup of quick links: The “Obama plagiarized” meme seems to have survived two news cycles, so it may not go away soon. Democrats generally get grilled on how they will pay for certain domestic programs. Thinkprogress is wondering how John McCain […]
Guest Post by dnA Early exit poll info from Marc Armbinder: Info from our trusty pals at CBS News: this electorate is very white; only four in ten have a “college degree.” They’re “less affluent” than Dems in other states. The percentage of late deciders is declining: only 27% made up their minds within the […]
Guest Post by dnA Yesterday Republicans were up in arms over Michelle Obama’s alleged proclamation that she was only proud of her country because her husband was running for president. This was the quote they used: “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,” she told a Milwaukee crowd […]
Guest Post by dnA For the past week, John McCain has been attempting to hit Barack Obama for reneging on his “pledge” to pursue public financing should he win the nomination. Aside from the fact that no pledge was ever made, McCain’s own abuse of the public financing system negates any presumption of good faith […]
