Game, Set, Match: Jamie Rubin Lied

May 16, 2008

by Patrick Hynes @ 6:35 pm | Filed under Politics, 2008

Here’s the transcript from the next thirty-three seconds of that Jamie Rubin-John McCain interview:
Rubin: So should we the United States be dealing with that new reality through normal diplomatic contacts to get the job done for the United States?
McCain: I think the United States should take a step back, see what they do when they […]

I’ve been swamped the last few days but wanted to touch on 2 big items today.
First, and the best, is that President Bush laid down the gauntlet today in a speech to the Knesset, rightfully calling the people (i.e. Barack Obama and the majority of Democrats) who want to negotiate with terrorists like Hamas and […]

Prayers

May 13, 2008

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 8:19 am | Filed under News

Other than donating money and/or supplies, and praying, unfortunately there’s not much more most of us can do for the victims of recent natural disasters.  It’s been a horrible last few weeks for people all over the globe. Between the cyclone in Burma, the horrendous earthquake in China, and tornados and storms in our own […]

Here Comes The “People Won’t Vote For Barack Because They’re Racist” Stories

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 8:14 am | Filed under Politics, 2008, Culture, Barack Obama, News

Here it comes folks.  The MSM, and some Obama supporters, are starting to talk about how tough it’s going to be for him to win the Presidency because of all the racists out there, especially among the “bitter” demographic where Hillary happens to be trouncing him.
Today the Washington Post gives a good bit of space […]

Did Barack Obama Really Say This?

May 12, 2008

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 4:35 pm | Filed under Politics, 2008, Barack Obama, Foreign Policy, News

Someone needs to get me a transcript of Barack Obama’s appearance in West Virginia today. According to this AP report Barack Obama gave a speech today in West Virginia in which he called for, among other things, a “strong and humane” military.
Nowhere in the article is Obama quoted using the word “humane” when describing what kind […]

Talk About A Misleading Headline

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 11:44 am | Filed under Politics, Economy, Pensions/Social Security, News

Well, I guess the good news is that the MSM is finally beginning to take notice that there is a looming fiscal disaster on the horizon - the billions of dollars in unfunded liabilities of state and federal governments for pensions and health care benefits promised to state workers. Of course, we’ve been writing about this […]

This Isn’t Going To Be Good Week For John McCain Among Conservatives

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 8:42 am | Filed under Politics, John McCain, Economy, Environment, News, Conservatism

Starting today and apparently continuing throughout the week, John McCain is going to start highlighting his plans to combat global warming. In doing so he is surely likely to highlight the divisions he has with the conservative base.  According to reports:
“For all of the last century, the profit motive basically led in one direction - […]

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 1:07 pm | Filed under Blogs

Have a good one everyone. I’m heading to the Jersey Shore for a weekend of debauchery (a/k/a my brother’s bachelor party). Hopefully I’ll be sober enough to write on Monday. And Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.

I Don’t Know How His Week Could Get Any Worse

May 8, 2008

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 12:55 pm | Filed under Politics, Congress, News

I don’t thing anybody out there would want to trade places with New York Republican Congressman Vito Fossella right about now.  Not only was he popped for DUI recently, but it turns out the woman who came to bail out this married father of 3 after the arrest is the mother of his 3-year old “love child”.
Here’s the […]

Hillary’s “White American” Comment Sure To Cause A Stir

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 12:31 pm | Filed under Politics, 2008, Culture, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, News

Congratulations Rush. “Operation Chaos” has worked far better that even you could have imagined. Contrary to MSM belief “Operation Chaos” was not about choosing the Democrat party nominee, but rather about keeping the race going and bloodying up the eventual nominee. 
And after today’s remarks by Hillary Clinton (which you can listen to here), the intra-party […]

  Gallup and the New York Times have vastly different new polling data out on Monday.
  
  

• Score One (or 11) For The Good Guys

  An American airstrike today killed Aden Hashi Ayro, the leader of Al Queda in Somalia and 10 of his cohorts. Hey Aden - it must suck really bad realizing that there aren't 72 virgins in the pits of hell.
  
  

• John Hawkins Goes "Metro"

  Hilarious post from our buddy John at Right Wing News about his first experience in getting a pedicure (when he meant to get a manicure) at a nail salon. I can only imagine how embarassed he must have been and praying that no one he knew saw him, because if I ever saw one of by buddies getting that done it would be a merciless assault of verbal abuse for an entire lifetime. Don't worry John, we still think you're a "real" man - just don't get it done again.

• President Bush's Hypocrisy

  In today's press conference he called on Congress to end "lavish" subsidies to farmers. Um, Mr. President, weren't you one of the ones that signed the bill giving them those lavish subsidies in 2002 mainly because you didn't want to lose the "farmer vote" in 2004? No pun intended, but you are reaping what you have sown. Real courage would have been saying "No" to this corporate welfare in 2002. (Posted by BDP)
