Palin and the circus she's brought to town is designed to distract the country from one big truth: the havoc that George Bush and the Republican Party have wrought, and that John McCain is committed to continuing. Read More
Video: Sparring With Chuck Norris On Larry King I appeared with Chuck Norris on Larry King Live Wednesday night to discuss the presidential race. When the subject turned to Iraq, the sparks began to fly. Watch the Clip
Enough!: Why Obama Should Release His Righteous Rage When I think about what Bush has done to this country -- and what McCain wants to keep doing -- I consider outrage the only rational response. The last seven-plus years demand more than a beaming smile. They demand indignation. Outrage. Fury. Read More
I think that if ABC has another shot at her, or if any other journalists get to spend any time on this uncertain gamble for the second highest office in the land, they should give her a book test.
