Notre Dame, South Bend...

It wasn't exactly the miracle of the wedding feast of Cana. President Obama did not change water into wine.

But he almost did. Instead, Obama changed what protesters tried to make an ugly scene about abortion into a triumphant message about faith-based politics.

Here, in the...

Say it isn't so!

After all the controversy surrounding a Senate appointment in Illinois, here comes another smelly deal -- in New Hampshire.

This one isn't about money. It's about party. But it still stinks.

President Obama has decided he wants Republican Senator Judd Gregg as his new Commerce Secretary....

America loves a political scoundrel. And we've seen a lot of them.

James Michael Curley ruled Boston as Mayor, from his prison cell. Wilbur Mills had his Ways and Means with stripper Fannie Fox. And James Traficant chanted "Beam me up, Mr. Speaker" - all the way to...

Who says there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans?

When Republicans take power, they band together and fight Democrats. When Democrats take power, they split apart and eat their own.

Just look what's happening with Roland Burris. It is monumentally stupid, and political suicide, for Democrats to deny him his...

Two candidates walked on stage Saturday night. One of them walked off looking like the next President of the United States. And it wasn't John McCain.

American voters could not have been given a clearer choice. As this season's first presidential debate clearly demonstrated, John McCain is hot; Barack Obama...

It takes a village...

That's what Hillary Clinton said, of course. But it applies to Barack Obama, too. And what I'm wondering is: Where's the village that should be out there, defending him from attacks by John McCain?

Just look at what happened last week: McCain accused Obama of caring...

"I have great admiration and respect for Senator Obama."

If so, McCain has a funny way of showing it. All we've seen and heard from him for the last month is a string of personal attacks, culminating in yesterday's ad smearing Obama as "the biggest celebrity in the...

On this site, Arianna Huffington was the first to warn Barack Obama that he would disappoint a lot of his enthusiastic supporters, and not necessarily gain any new ones, by moving too fast to the center. Apparently, he wasn't listening.

He started out safely enough: renouncing a pledge to...

You may remember. A couple of years ago, I wrote a book about how the Republicans stole religion -- and how Democrats should steal it back.

Well, Hallelujah! Barack Obama is doing just that -- by standing up to the religious right.

When James Dobson, speaking for many evangelists, says...

He came, he spoke, he conquered.

Pope Benedict XVI is back in Rome, after his razzle-dazzle visit to the United States -- where he impressed everybody with his apologetic comments about the priest pedophile scandal.

Well, ALMOST everybody. He didn't impress me, because -- even though, for the first time,...

Here we go again. Another radio talk show host in hot water. This time, my friend Randi Rhodes.

First of all, let me say, I'm a big fan. I listen to Randi whenever I can. She's a great broadcaster, and a passionate liberal. Day in and day out,...

What happened to the Democratic Party?

I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've volunteered in countless Democratic campaigns. I've managed campaigns for Democrats. I was a Democratic candidate for statewide office in California. For three years, I was Chair of the California Democratic Party. But I don't recognize the Democratic Party today.

Here's one thing I'll never understand: Why do such smart men do such dumb things?

Or maybe we should ask: Why don't smart men use their brain instead of some other part of their anatomy?

It's a bipartisan malady. Mark Foley and Larry Craig. Gary Hart and Bill...

Just when you thought there was no way Democrats could lose this election...

Here we go again...

Ralph Nader decides to run, as an independent candidate, for the third time.

Let me tell you, I used to be a big Ralph Nader fan. And, in his heyday, he was a...

Meet the man in the middle. MSNBC's David Shuster was suspended for a question about Chelsea Clinton he asked -- me!

Appearing as a guest on Tucker last Thursday, with Shuster sitting in as guest host, I was puzzled when he brought up Chelsea's increasingly prominent role in the...

Politics is like a three-ring circus. Complete with clowns.

Latest attraction: Newt Gingrich, telling Diane Sawyer there is a "great possibility" he will run for president in 2008.

Just who does he think he's kidding? Does he really think our memory is that short?

We remember: Newt Gingrich handed...

If you believe FOX NEWS - and who does? - all Democrats wanna do is drink beer and watch football.

FOX has been talking non-stop about the fact that Democrats delayed the start of their famous 100 Hours until today, Tuesday, the morning AFTER the big football game between...

"De mortius nihil nisi bonum."

Say only good things about the dead.

I learned that rule in Latin in high school - and I've broken it ever since.

Jerry Ford was a good, decent, down-to-earth man.

Even in the White House, he fixed his own English...

Again. I don't get it.

Will somebody please tell me:

Why was it a good idea for Nancy Pelosi to endorse John Murtha?

Was it to show loyalty to an old friend? What about loyalty to somebody who was her lieutenant for four years - and helped...

If there's any doubt change is in the wings...You should have been with me yesterday morning.

When I had the great honor of speaking to the 53 newly-elected Members of the House of Representatives.

And there, in one room, were all the good people we've been rooting for:...
