Suppose that, before her husband was first elected to office, Michelle Obama had become disfigured in a car wreck, and suppose further that Barack Obama then cheated on her with a beer heiress, divorced her, married the heiress and ran for office? How would Fox news treat that set of facts?

What's that? Something like that would never happen?

Why would Hillary Clinton want to serve as vice-president to someone who has not crossed the commander-in-chief threshold, unless she fancies herself a twenty-first century Lady Macbeth?

Senator McCain has never had an easy relationship with the fundamentalists. I am just speculating here, but perhaps this is bacause after his return from Vietnam to a wife who had become crippled from a car wreck, McCain acted as a horndog of Clintonian magnitude. He dumped his first wife in order to marry a Barbie doll beer heiress who now serves as chairwoman of an Anhueser-Bush distributorship.

According to the words attributed to Jesus in Mark 10:12 and Luke 16:18, the current McCain marriage is itself a state of adultery. I suspect that religious leaders are not keen on the idea of McCain is not known for personal piety, and the campaign finance reform he has championed is widely despised among issue advocacy groups, including the anti-abortion nutjob groups.

". . . telling women that the Democrats' commitment to abortion rights is what should drive their vote, while simultaneously suggesting . . . that given the choice, having a baby is a more moral choice than abortion, will be understood for what it is: condescending and sexist."

Many voters, especially people of faith, who support the right to choose abortion are profoundly discomfited by abortion itself. One of Senator Obama's political assets is that he is demostrably more comfortable with Christian language, thought and ethics than is Senator McCain, who is a warmongering secularist with a marital history as a horndog. That asset should not be squandered by the Democratic Party worshipping/pandering at the altar of abortion über alles.

Abortion rights and the right to contraception should be vigorously defended and protected against the onslaught of the sex control brigades. That is vastly different from promoting or encouraging the practice of abortion or pretending that the choices of preserving or destroying potential human life are morally neutral, or worse, morally equivalent.

I thought that the most shameless "other woman" in the presidential candidates' lives was named Cindy Hensley McCain.

are in order for Jesse Helms' family and friends. I hope that they find solace for their loss.

That having been said, may Helms be reincarnated as a hemorhoid on Ted Haggard's ass.

Whenever I see the phrase, tit-for-tat, I recall Dennis Miller's take on it: "What's tat? Where can I get it? And how can I exchange it for the other?"

that the video of Mr. Woods is pretty powerful.

There is another option which is not mentioned in this post. Paragraph 7 of Article I, § 3 of the Constitution states:

Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law.

The expiration of the current president's term does not make impeachment moot; the House can still investigate and vote articles of impeachment, with the Senate to determine disqualification from holding federal office in the future.

This is not a mere academic question. After serving as president, John Quincy Adams served in the House of Representatives and William Howard Taft served as Chief Justice of the United States. After serving as vice-president, Richard Nixon served as president and Hubert Humphrey served as a U. S. Senator. Former Vice-President Walter Mondale served as Ambassador to Japan and was nominated to run for the Senate from Minnesota when Senator Paul Wellstone died in a plane crash.

A special commission is not needed. The House Judiciary Committee has subpoena power, a demographically and ideologically diverse membership, and the other mechanisms necessary to ferret out wrongdoing, including the contempt power of the House of Representatives itself. Here's hoping that the next Congress will pursue articles of impeachment as to whether President Bush has taken care that the laws be faithfully executed as to torture, electronic surveillance and other subjects.

Wouldn't that be Mrs. Buffalo Chip, as in a woman married to a piece of dried bovine dung?

Every time I hear the phrase, "tit for tat", I think of Dennis Miller's questions: What's tat, where can I get it, and how can I exchange it for the other?

A question for those who mak much to do about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's politically incorrect statements:

There is a church that has paid literlly billions of dollars in personal injury judgments or settlements because a sigificant number of her priests molested her children. During the past five years, several members of this church ran for the presidential nomination of their respective political parties: John Kerry, Rudy Giuliani, Alan Keyes, Joe Biden, Christopher Dodd, Bill Richardson.

Of those who denounced the Rev. Wright, how many have called upon any Roman Cathlic political candidate to repudiate the church whose personnel couldn't keep their peckers out of innocent children?

I get the meaning of the adjectives there, but do these Hillaryphiles have sex with sleeping men?

If they are offended by the term "sweetie", what do they think of a candidate who, in the presence of news reporters, calls his trophy wife a cunt and a trollop?
