...to agree to take the veep slot on the ticket.

1) If Obama loses, it's HIllary's fault.

2) If Obama wins, and his presidency is a failure, it's her fault.

3) If Obama wins, and he does okay as president, it's in spite of her.

4) If anything happens to Obama, Hillary did it.

Let him sink or swim on his own merits.

The way his supporters are acting, you'd think he doesn't need any of the Hillary voters.

She was not my first choice, but for many Hillary supporters, she convinced them she was the better candidate.

But, I guess you just can't accept that.

I pay little attention to you, but if you're an Obama supporter, keep it up and you will help ensure that John McCain wins in November.

It may be a stretch, but I think possibly McClellan agreed to be the "author" of this book to change the subject for the benefit of the perps in the WH.

The WH will attack McClellans's credibility, integrity, say he's a disgruntled former employee blah blah blah. There will be a high-pitched coordinated effort to drown McClellan's message in a sea of doubt, which will be successful. There will be personal attacks from the WH and its surrogates, but there will be no efforts to dispute the claims/accusations in the book because they can't wage that battle successfully since it would focus too much attention on THEM.

McClellan was a willing fall-guy. In reality, loyal to the end.

There are plenty of "problems" that the GOP will dredge up when Mr. Walk on Water is the official Dem nominee.

We all remember Bill Ayers, a son of privilege and wealth who plotted against the United States, is allegedly a rehabbed member of Chicago society, working his heart out for the greater good.

Ayers' father, Thomas Ayers, was CEO of Commonwealth Edison as well as a trustee of Tribune Co. and chairman of the board of Northwestern University.

Let's see, David Axelrod worked at the Chi Trib for eight years or so. The younger Ayers' wife his co-domestic terrorist of the 60s, Bernardine Dohrn, teaches at Northwestern University. Sounds like the same old politics to me....those of the manor born give a pass to the progeny, the disciples and followers.

ABC's Pro-Iraq Bias Exposed

WASHINGTON – A conservative media watchdog group Tuesday accused ABC News and "World News Tonight" anchor Peter Jennings of blatant bias in their coverage of the buildup to war with Iraq.

Brent Bozell, president of Media Research Center (MRC), noted that the respected Columbia Journalism Review wrote in its current issue that reporting prior to a war "is even more necessary than following the action or counting the dead." Bozell believes ABC's news division has failed its viewers in that reporting.

"During this critical period before war, Peter Jennings used World News Tonight not to offer an objective look into the international crisis," Bozell alleged, "but to beat the American administration with a deceptive double standard."

During a press conference Tuesday in the National Press Club's First Amendment Room, Bozell charged Jennings and his colleagues at "World News Tonight" with "harshly criticizing America and its policies, all the while taking a much lighter hand to congressional Democrats, U.N. bureaucrats, France, China, Russia, even Iraq."

After examining 234 WNT stories broadcast between Jan. 1 and March 7, MRC identified four categories in which it believes Jennings and "WNT" misled viewers:

Championing France and the U.N. over the U.S. - MRC noted the example of "WNT" reporter Terry Moran describing the White House policy on Iraqi disarmament as "hard-line" while ascribing no descriptive term to the U.N.'s policy of inaction.

Channeling Iraqi propaganda - Bozell pointed to a "WNT" report by Dan Harris, which ended with a "peace activist" interviewing Iraqi children. The report made no mention of the fact that Iraqis are not allowed to speak freely to the press.

Sanitizing radical protesters - MRC, the parent organization of CNSNews.com, criticized "WNT" for its coverage of anti-war protests in Washington and elsewhere because the network failed to mention that the protests were largely orchestrated by Workers World Party, an organization that openly pledges "solidarity" with communists in China and Cuba.

Manipulating poll data - Bozell noted that on Jan. 21, Jennings reported a five-point drop in support for military action against Iraq. "WNT" did not note an equivalent increase in the polls a week later, and Jennings referred to an even greater increase after the State of the Union address by saying polls were "essentially unchanged."

Bozell noted that, during a Jan. 17 "Nightline/Viewpoint" special broadcast, ABC News President David Westin promised viewers that the network's coverage would be "objective and give just the facts to the American people."

"It should not have been difficult for Peter Jennings to have covered the run-up to war in a manner that approached ABC News President David Westin's standard of 'objective,'" Bozell opined. "Both NBC and CBS' News' coverage, while not perfect, came far closer to meeting this standard."

'Dissenting View[s] Are Very Inconvenient'

Keep on stirring up the crowd's darker passions and you can be assured that the Republicans will retain the White House in November.

"Fact-checking" Hillary's RFK remark appears to be nothing more than an attempt for more "hits" on Koppleman's blog in case anyone missed the non-issue over the holiday weekend.

Pathetic.

Well, "black and tan" also refers to dogs, specifically the black and tan coon-hound. What if the producers had included a hound-dog in the video?

Why is everyone so sensitive these days?

Reminds me of when Ben and Jerry's made an ice cream flavor for St. Patrick's Day inspiried by the drink, Black and Tan. The Irish nationalists were hoppin' mad because they took offence to the "paramilitary association" with the ice cream's name. Ben and Jerry's apologized. A spokesman told Reuters, "Any reference on our part to the British Army unit was absolutely unintentional and no ill-will was ever intended."
