Hillary Clinton: 'It's going to be hard'
by Mark Silva Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived at the State Department this morning, and President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will follow at Foggy Bottom this afternoon -- as a sign of the importance the new administration will place on diplomacy. Clinton, speaking of the "potential and possibility'' of American foreign policy, drew a warm welcome from a diplomatic bureaucracy that has played second fiddle to military policy for much of the Bush...

The Star Report: Light reading - autobiographies from Sarah Palin and Britney spears?
One would think that wilderness governor Sarah Palin and resurgent pop tart Britney Spears probably don't have much in common, unless you count similar family planning strategies. But guess what? They're writers, too! Word comes that massive book deals are in the works for both. Palin has reportedly enlisted the services of Robert Barnett, the Washington lawyer who represented President Obama, would-be President Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton in their multimillion-dollar book

Mixed reviews from LGBT community on new NY senator Kirsten Gillibrand
The New York LGBT community has mixed reviews for their new junior Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand. Governor David Paterson announced Gillibrand as his pick to replace Hillary Clinton just after noon on Friday. The Empire State Pride Agenda, a New York gay advocacy group, says they approve of Paterson's pick despite Gillibrand's lack luster record on LGBT issues.

Mark Penn Poll: Mark Penn’s Ad Is Best Ad Of Politics
Politics magazine will release the results of their “2008 campaign poll of political insiders” this Thursday, but we already know the winner of one category: best ad of the presidential race. It is Hillary Clinton’s “3 a.m.” ad, the one about how Hillary Clinton was the only person who could answer a telephone at night without getting us all killed, or raped. Mark Penn was the “thrust” behind this successful ad, which you may have read about in any colu

It's Been Much Too Long
La Pequeña has returned to us! I was beginning to think she fell down the toilet or was eaten by a house cat or something. Thankfully, none of those things happened, so she was able to give us this amazing video. La Pequena Hillary Clinton is back and this time she's pissed at America for not giving her the nomination! She's so fucking angry that she's turned into La Pequeña Hillary Hulk! She's like a cute, tiny, grouchy pickle person! This is what the real Hillary probably looks like when she tries to p

FRANK RICH: MASTER OF THE MOMENT
The NY Times Opinionator writes a devastating piece about the McCain-Palin campaign’s attempts in recent weeks to ”brand [Obama] as a potential killer and an accessory to past attempts at murder.” “By the time McCain asks the crowd ”Who is the real Barack Obama?” it’s no surprise that someone cries out ”Terrorist!” The rhetorical conflation of Obama with terrorism is complete. It is stoked further by the repeated invocation of Obama’s middle name b

Sarah Palin = Star Wars, Hillary Clinton = Star Trek [Political Science (fiction)]
The Republicans tried to replace Hillary Clinton in the hearts of millions of women voters by giving us Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. But Palin hasn't quite proved to be the perfect Hillary replacement. Could it be their differing policies? Nah. It's really the fact that Hillary is totally Star Trek, while Sarah is 100 percent Star Wars. And there's no substituting between those two things. Conclusive proof below. Hillary is technobabble, Sarah is The Force. Ask Hillary how she plans to refor

McCain vows to whip Obama’s ‘you know what’
AP - Republican John McCain vowed Sunday to "whip" Democratic rival Barack Obama’s "you-know-what" when the two presidential candidates meet Wednesday in their final televised debate. McCain made that pledge as top advisers said he is weighing new economic proposals to help the nation weather the financial crisis. The Arizona senator refused to answer a reporter’s question Sunday about what plans he might be considering. Addressing several dozen volunteers at his campaign headquarters outside

Palin on SNL? ‘All in good time,’ producer says
NEW YORK (AP) -- It seems like the inevitable comedic summit of this fall’s presidential campaign: the real Sarah Palin coming on "Saturday Night Live" to meet her look-alike impersonator, Tina Fey. Tina Fey, left, portrays Gov. Sarah Palin during an SNL skit. Right, Palin waves to the crowd. "All in good time," said a cagey Lorne Michaels, longtime executive producer of NBC’s "Saturday Night Live," which has been rejuvenated this fall by Fey’s three skits

Is Battlestar Galactica Relevant in the Obama Era? [(Political) Science Fiction]
Major plot points from Battlestar Galactica were also front page headlines over the past few years: terrorism, secret tribunals, prisoner abuse, war. Will the show continue to feel relevant with Obama running America?With only a few episodes left in the series, BSG is about to disappear from the airwaves. The question is whether it will stand the test of time as the world changes. We've got three reasons why Battlestar might remain relevant in years ahead, and three reasons why it might be headed for the a

Letterman, On The Other Hand, Is A Go For McCain [Second Chances]
Though SNL is denying reports that Sarah Palin will join the program on October 25, the Associated Press is now reporting that John McCain, who ditched David Letterman to "suspend" his campaign and save America, will have a chance to make up with the Late Show host, who was none too happy with McCain's last-minute withdrawal from the program on September 24. Letterman has spent the better part of the last month ripping on McCain, who has appeared on the show a dozen times over the years. McCain's app

Meet Your New (Homophobic, Gun-Loving) Senator, New York
One had to expect that Caroline Kennedy's resignation from the horse race for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat would closely precede word of New York Governor David Paterson's appointment of a winner. Given her recent tendency to behave like an entitled child , one who refuses to accept that she's not wanted at the party, there was no way Kennedy was dropping out until she was sure she'd lost. Today, less than 24 hours after the end of Kennedy's Senate bid, Kristen Gi

Sarah Palin: Governor, vice-presidential candidate...TV star?
From the moment John McCain gave his concession speech in Arizona, my desperate hope for Sarah Palin was that she'd sulk her way back to Alaska and quietly resume the job she was elected to do (and when I say quiet, I mean as silent as my Honda Hybrid sounds when I halt at a red light). Alas, stardom is a demanding shrew that continues to poke at one's ego with its sharp stiletto, so Palin is now looking for a potential book and TV deal since her term as governor is over next year. Acting, we
