ABC's Obama Reporter Promises To be "Vigilant, Questioning"
Marketwatch.com's Jon Friedman talks with ABC's senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper about his new gig, which has become a multimedia affair.
Friedman writes: "In this digital age of blogs, podcasts, video feeds and the like, a journalist no longer is pigeonholed into such confining categories as 'print' or 'broadcast' disciplines of the craft. In addition to his on-air work, Tapper maintains a blog and contributes cartoons, one of his avocations, to it." Friedman also asked Tapper how he is avo

Pig Of The Day: GEORGE BUSH SENIOR
GAHH, here’s an insane joke from ancient oil baron George H.W. Bush about how he ran into “one of the ugliest, angriest women I’ve ever seen,” some lady who loved abortion, the punchline being that he would never in a million years have fucked her. Then Bill Clinton speaks — they were doing one of their little field trips together? — in awe of Bush’s ability to get away with that kind of humor, because, uh, George Bush Sr. never cheated on his wife (hehe

newVideoPlayer("/bush_uglyjoke_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); George Bush Sr. told a joke about the "ugliest woman I've ever seen," who he'd never screw. Bill Clinton passive-aggressively called him out with a "joke" of his own.Bush's little story, about an abortion-rights protester, won him Wonkette's fiercely-contested "Pig of the Day" award, a selection we wholeheartedly endorse. But the old guy isn't running for anything, and seems to have given up on any other Bush being president, ever again, so what doe
Bush Twins Letter to Malia and Sasha: Sweet!
Embedded video from CNN VideoSince Ronald Regan's departure from the White House, it's been the tradition of outgoing presidents to leave a private note for the incoming president. I wonder what former President George W. Bush had to say to President Barack Obama. Always take out the trash and watch your back, perhaps? Maybe Bush told Obama a good joke with the final words, "So long, sucker!" I doubt that, but certainly Obama's stepped into the fire and Bush into the sunset.For the Obama children, Sasha

Bette Midler lends her support to Barack Obama.
Bette Midler has blamed the U.S government for the current credit crisis and has pledged her allegiance to presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s campaign.
The star has vowed to support the Democratic presidential candidate in the elections next month because she can no longer live under a Republican government, currently led by George W. Bush.

McCain Sabotages His Own Attempt To Save The Nation
It's time someone called "nuts!" on this McCain campaign suspension, fake attempt to save the economy, and the sabotaging of that fake attempt once it appeared Obama had the upper hand on the issue again...
Here's what we've heard. It's possible, of course, that Politico, Politics1, RCP, and all the other sources are wrong, but let's assume otherwise for the moment:
1) McCain told David Letterman he couldn't do anymore interviews because he was rushing back to DC to work on

Two more expressions Reuters photographer Jim Bourg had never "seen on George Bush’s face in my life" after the jump.Bourg snapped Bush as he returned to the scene of his last presidential address to the nation. Bush first exited through those doors behind him, then came back after the TV cameras were off.

Ahmadinejad: Say Sorry
Former President Bush’s enemies have so far seemed eager to make nice with President Obama (see Russia’s scrapping of missile plans today), but it looks like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is going to spoil the fun. The Iranian President addressed crowds in Khermenshah today, saying, "Those who speak of change must apologize to the Iranian people and try to repair their past crimes," alluding to Obama's recent interview on Al Arabiya, in which the president said “[if] countries like Iran

Slacker Uprising in full
“Slacker Uprising” takes place in the wake of “Fahrenheit 9/11,” during the run-up to the 2004 election, as I traveled for 42 days across America, visiting 62 cities in a failed attempt to remove George W. Bush from office. My goal was to help turn out a record number of young voters and others who had never voted before. (That part was a success. Young adults voted in greater numbers than in any election since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote. And the youth vote was the onl

"We Support George McCain For President"
For our last post about the RNC (thank The Lord Jesus That Watches Over Conservatives for that!), we wanted to show you a video that we think summarizes the feelings on the floor of the entire convention. Those feelings, conveniently, can be melted down to one line: some Republicans are staunch in their support of Bush and McCain, while others just wanted America to forget about Junior...This video is one in which I, Scanner Brian, must, in the interest of full disclosure, admit I was participant (I g
October remains the month for political surprises
The Democratic nominee thought he had bested President Bush in their three prime-time debates. He also felt he’d convinced Americans his military and foreign affairs experience left him better equipped to end the Iraqi war.
Then Osama bin Laden weighed in with the most recent "October surprise" to land with a thud on a presidential campaign.
Kerry believes bin Laden cost him the presidency by issuing a videotape that criticized Bush and warned U.S. voters that "your security is in your own hands" in
Wildlife group expands reach of anti-Palin wolf ad
AP - These are not the typical wolves of political ads ™ not the menaces depicted by George W. Bush in 2004 or John McCain just a couple of weeks ago. These animals are bloodied, gruesome victims.
As depicted in a Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund ad, they are Sarah Palin’s prey. The commercial denounces, in graphic form, the aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska, a practice Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, has supported as the state’s governor.
