Axis of Weasel

I’ve been angrily watching George Bush and Karl Rove lie with impunity. Living abroad for 10-years their FCC appointees systematically took decisions that eliminated media accountability, competition and created a war propaganda machine for the Administration using the public airwaves. A we saw in the financial crisis, a very few, very rich, white [...]

McCain campaign manager Rick Davis seems to have truthiness problems. At least he cannot remember when or if he left the lobbying firm he was or is it still is a partner in.
Jill Hazelbaker, the campaign’s communications director, said in an e-mail Tuesday that Davis “left” Davis Manafort in 2006. In a statement [...]

The Democrat Primary local heads this weekend to a crucial (yawn) convention by-laws committee meeting that seems certain to have the thrill and impact of a wet firecracker vs. Hillary’s much feared nuclear option of three weeks ago. The Michigan and Florida delegations will be seated but with a 50% penalty and the delegates split [...]



Nice Big Bucks Conscience Call There Scotty

By Denis Campbell • May 29th, 2008 • Category: Politics
Amazing what a big publisher’s advance brings. When one starts to imagine the big lecture bucks available on the rubber chicken circuit, it’s no wonder stories change and blend. When the Republican antichrist Bill Clinton earned over $100 million he had to be thinking, “hey, I can do that with the dirt I have gathered.” [...]
