An Abomination

Paul Begala asked: “Why does Rudy Giuliani get to be married three times and Newt Gingrich married three times and Rush Limbaugh three times and a gay man never once?” It’s statements like this one that put the gay marriage … Continue reading

End of a Park Avenue Populist

I’d say “good riddance,” but it looks like Howard Dean will be sticking around for a while. Dean couldn’t even bow out with grace, choosing to “suspend” his campaign and leave his name on the ballot so his neo-Naderite supporters … Continue reading

Fair Play

Screw The Facts

Hmm…let’s see. Kerry says “No. The answer is no.” The young woman calls rumors “completely false.” And her parents say they look forward to voting for the senator. Those who peddled Drudge’s slimeball “news” as gospel must feel really silly … Continue reading
