Joe Lieberman attacks Obama, Fails National
Security IQ test in the process

post from American Street on 02 April 2008 11:55:00 PM. © American Street

Like the Republican he endorsed, turncoat Dem Joe Lieberman apparently doesn’t have a clue who’s who in the Middle East. Read this short report from Jane Hamsher. And note Lieberman’s own words:If we did what Sen. Obama wanted us to do last year, Al-Qaeda in Iran would be in control of Iraq today. The whole [...]

Wednesday Stuff

post from The Liberal Doomsayer on 02 April 2008 11:52:00 PM. © The Liberal Doomsayer

Elizabeth Edwards is interviewed on "Morning Joe" and talks principally about health care and pre-existing conditions (McCain vs. Obama vs. Clinton - she also debunks that story about Obama being snippy with the Edwardses that I linked to a couple of times; glad to hear that)...

...and leave it to "The Onion" to provide aid to those non-gay, non-Muslim, pro-life, antiterrorist, left-handed, Bush-loving famine victims of sub-Saharan Africa (truly commendable).

Big Media spin turns candidate harasser story
into something else

post from American Street on 02 April 2008 11:39:00 PM. © American Street

After reading several accounts of the guy harassing Obama for a photograph, it seems pretty apparent that Washngton Post’s Shailagh Murray at The Trail campaign blog was the only big media journalist to describe the multiple encounters correctly. Read it and check the video, to see what actually transpired.Now look at the same event [...]

A "Race Chasm"

post from Talking Points Memo on 02 April 2008 11:35:00 PM. © Talking Points Memo

Earlier we discussed the question of why Barack Obama appears to do better in some red states than in some purple states -- at least in their Democratic primaries. More specifically, we looked at the question of whether the pattern doesn't show Obama[...]

Idol Open Thread

post from TalkLeft on 02 April 2008 11:29:00 PM. © TalkLeft

Hard to believe the last open thread is already filled. There was lots of talk about what we're watching instead of MSNBC and cable news. American Idol seemed to be a favorite, it's on now.

BTD just signed off for the night -- until I'm done with dinner and can post some substantive stuff, here's a place to continue your discussions -- all topics welcome.

And How Did That Happen

I think the whole "earmark" discussion is stupid. One can ask for more transparency in the process, and a better process, but basically we're just talking about Congress specifying how money should be spent instead of having the Awesome Executive make those decisions.

But I'm enough of a "to the winners go some of the spoils" guy to wonder just how it is that in a Democratic Congress, conservatives are the worst earmark "offenders"...

Late Night FDL: Different strokes for different
folks (I am regular people)

Chris Matthews is really concerned about Barack Obama's bowling score, because regular people bowl. Only maybe not so much. Go figure.[...]
