Arianna,

Please run against our useless senator Feinstein. We'll be forever grateful.

Diane Feinstien and Charles Schumer are traitors to this Country, Americans overseas, soldiers that risk torture and death in war, human beings that the United States hold both legally and illegally. They betrayed all of us. They are now complicit in Bush's threat to all of us that he will torture whoever and whenever he wants. They will forever be Torture Senators just as Bush is the Torture President. Feinstien and Schumer know that it is illegal torture and that there is no need for a 'new' law. They lied. They made a conscience decision to betray the Country with their vote. We should not allow them to take one more dime of tax payer salary or politician perks for their betrayal of the rule of law. Real Leaders know the right thing and do the right thing-always. When members of our Democratic Party are corrupt, as demonstrated this week, then we recall them immediately and put in new Democrats that will uphold the constitution, the laws of the land, all international treaty law and the universal laws of a moral people. The shame these two politicians have brought to the party, the nation and our universal face to the world is unforgivable. Bush, with his 20% psychopathic approval rating has yet another victory that can be laid at the feet of the Democrats in Congress. Because of these two low life liars, Feinstien and Schumer, we again have as our top law enforcement officer-a weak and corrupted old man, a puppet, that can not speak the truth and will not uphold the rule of law. There is shame and there will need to be consequences.

great watching you Arianna as usual you are right on target...I think it is hilarious how the Clintons are caving to pressure...now Billy Boy is defending his little woman and taking blame for the health care fiasco...maybe people will realize these two are joined at the hip and we do not need that kind of candidate for president. we need an honest, intelligent, independent thinking candidate for president. NOT HILLARY and I am a woman...and my husband does not like her...not because she is a woman but because she is HILLARY and I bet many men agree with that

Arianna, we get that you don't like Hillary (no complaints) and that you think Kucinich is an amusing eccentric rather than a legitimate candidate (complaints aplenty, as you may have noticed). What I, at least, don't get, is what you want people to feel positive about. Knock down the frontrunner, marginalize or dismiss candidates like Kucinich (bad press) and Richardson (no press), and leave us with what? Obama? Is that it? You want Barack Obama for president? If you think your job from now on is to assail the Democrats for their caving, then I suggest that you will be very busy in the months ahead, and your brilliance will be poorly utilized. What I would love to see instead is that you use this site, your media outlets, your eloquence, your charm, etc., and start enlightening people about alternative candidacies. Forget about the Clintons, and tell us about the candidates who put signs on their offices to fire them up that read, "It's the DEMOCRACY, stupid!"
Dennis is one; others are....?

Has anyone noticed when Arianna is on we get a laugh in addition to some smart comments on the primaries.
She's a woman who is not scared to criticise a woman candidate, she's a lefty who the right-wingers can accept, even enjoy her company and her smart I/dont/owe/anything/to/anybody style.
The London press are on to her now and seem to read the blog and follow Arianna. Do you think they are smarter at recognising a rising (press) star than Americans are?

Hummm...comments seem to be a few hours slow on this Post.
Great Job on the TV Arianna!
Sorry I brought up the KUCINICH Impeachment of Cheney thing previously.
Judging from your site - I guess you didn't hear about it. NP. Maybe look at it tomorrow.

The Mukasey nomination was yet another "garbage-time" vote by Capitol Hill Democrats. Having failed to block a vote on the merits and being afraid to mount a filibuster, they cast meaningless "no" votes on the final roll call. Wow, that accomplished a lot.
