Ann Coulter, displaying the myopic John McCain hate that is filling up the leadership of the conservative movement, declared that she would endorse, campaign, and vote for Hillary Clinton over John McCain. Watch below:

Average Assets of Americans Compared to Presidential Candidates

Written on January 13th, 2008 | Trackback URI |

Perhaps only one word can be used to describe all of the leading presidential contenders: multimillionaire.

Compared to the Average American Family

Barack Obama, with the lowest asset total of all candidates, is worth 25 times more than the average American household. Mitt Romney, with the highest asset total, is worth 1075 times more than the average American household. On average, the major Presidential candidates have assets of 47 million dollars, or 505 times the average American household.

Because 2 out of 11 isn’t bad, right?

If you ever wonder about Fox News editorial objectivity, look no further than today’s politics page on the Fox News website, pictured below:

Of the 11 stories, I counted 4 negative stories on Democrats (Did the New York Times’ MoveOn deal break the law?, Feds to indict Norman Hsu in $60 scheme for donations to Democrats - this was also the front page story entitled ‘Dirty Dem’, Bad Medicine - Mitt Romney slams Hilary Clinton’s health care plan, Hilary Wants to Change Our Country). Compare this to the 2 negative Republican articles (one of which is actually just a video of minority leader Boehner refuting Democratic charges for 3 minutes) and the two positive Republican stories (Safe at Home? on Bush urging Congress for permanent expansion of electronic surveillance and the article on the Republican primary in Florida, Romney slamming Hilary’s health plan).

Democracies do not always make societies more civil — but they do always mercilessly expose the health of the societies in which they operate.

The Maverick That Never Was

Written on July 12th, 2007 | Trackback URI |

After burning through all but 2 million of 22 million dollars raised and the culmination of a failed campaign with the public guillotining of the longtime senior campaign managers and fifty staffers, the political obituary has been written for the once-heralded media darling. In the past week, the media has attempted to retrace the dance steps it took in 2000 with the upstart Senator branded as the brazenly honest maverick. From Salon to the Washington Post, the question posed is what caused the derailment of the famed Straight Talk Express and the once certain McCain presidential bid?

Off the AP Line:

WASHINGTON - President Bush commuted the sentence of former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby on Monday, sparing him from a 2 1/2-year prison term that Bush said was excessive.

Bush’s move came hours after a federal appeals panel ruled Libby could not delay his prison term in the CIA leak case. That meant Libby was likely to have to report to prison soon and put new pressure on the president, who had been sidestepping calls by Libby’s allies to pardon the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.
