I was convinced that the only way Barack Obama could win, the only path that didn't lead to Losertown or Wussville, was for him to channel the nation's outrage and eviscerate John McCain. In my dream scenario, Obama would have turned to him at the last debate, cited a few...

Regardless of which poll you look at, forty-something percent of the people who will decide the fate of the country believe that it's an acceptable risk to place the ludicrous Sarah Palin one 72-year-old, cancer-ridden, given-to-apoplexy John McCain heartbeat away from the presidency.

Think about it. At least four...

"Senator McCain, you used to say that the main thing you were looking for in a running mate was the ability to take over as president, if necessary, on Day One. Given how many people there are in government that clearly meet that criterion, how do you justify picking someone...

Given that we would never have had the odious George W. Bush in the White House in the first place if it wasn't for your blow jobs, Bill, it seems obvious that you owe it to the people of this country, and especially to the parents whose kids died in...

The contempt John McCain has shown for the people of this country by plucking the wildly unqualified Sarah Palin to sit a cancer-prone heartbeat from the presidency leaves only one conclusion. John McCain hates America.

Eight presidents -- or nineteen percent of them ---have died in office. This comes...

Having watched John Kerry throw away the 2004 election with a timid and themeless pudding of a campaign while the Rovians assassinated his character, it's hard not to see disturbing signs of a repeat of that disaster in the Obama campaign.

The Obama theme all along has been change, but...

"The McCain campaign continues to level dishonest attacks on Barack Obama's integrity and patriotism," [foreign policy adviser Susan] Rice said, adding that Americans were tired of "Karl Rove's say anything, do anything politics." Rice also accused McCain of trying to "mislead the American people in order to obscure his own...

In Dr. Seuss's The Sneetches, there were two kinds of these odd beach-dwelling creatures -- those with stars on their bellies and those without. The ones with the stars saw themselves as inherently superior:

When the Star-Belly Sneetches had frankfurter roasts

Or picnics or parties or marshmallow...

The Clinton campaign has been nothing if not defiantly hip, with a constant stream of cutting-edge, up-to-the-second pop culture references. Here's a sampling from the campaign trail:

"That's not change you can believe in, that's change you can Xerox."
-- Hillary Clinton referencing Barack Obama's alleged plagiarism...

With Mississippi senator Trent Lott resigning five years early to maximize his lobbying potential, it seems like a good time for a look back on his illustrious career.

1) Complete the quote that required Trent Lott to go on a week-long apology spree: "I want to say this...

I am thankful that John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg continue to draw breath, since the presence of Dianne Feinstein on the Senate Judiciary Committee means that George W. Bush could name Karl Rove to the Supreme Court and the nomination would fail to be killed before reaching the...

With George W. Bush's longtime aide Karen Hughes leaving her position as undersecretary of state without remotely having achieved her mission of improving America's image abroad (and actually, if possible, having made it worse), I thought it was time for a quick refresher.

1) What was the...

The humiliating spectacle of this quivering party, returned to power with the express mandate of stopping this sadistic madman and instead contemptibly giving him whatever he wants, as if he wasn't the most despised man in America, is beyond nauseating. "Poor us, we don't have the votes to stop the...

With the usual gang of shameless Republican hypocrites being joined by the usual gang of spineless Democratic wimps in scolding Rep. Pete Stark for suggesting that George W. Bush's response to the deaths of U.S. troops is "amusement," might I suggest that maybe Stark doesn't really owe anyone an apology?

In the wake of what is merely the latest example of their apparently never-ending caving -- this time on the domestic surveillance bill -- I am looking for a new word to describe the Democrats, as "gutless," "spineless," and "craven" all seem like high praise compared to the way...

Richard Nixon's observation about Fred Thompson being "dumb as hell" is just one of thousands of aspersions cast in the Oval Office and captured on tape. Test your knowledge of Tricky Dick's bountiful Oval Office bile:

1) What did Richard Nixon call his Secretary of the Treasury, George Shultz?
