Forced to team up with her doddering Republican opponent , John McCain (played by the corpse of Ted Knight), to plot against an upstart black candidate named Barack Obama (Blair Underwood), Hillary...

The "What He Said" Game

Cenk Uygur | Posted April 17, 2008 | Media


Cenk Uygur

Every election cycle the Republicans play the same game of distraction. They want to distract people from what they have done, so they turn the focus on to what their opponents said, or what someone who can nominally be linked to their opponents said.

And every year, the press dutifully...

Does Obama Transcend Race?

Caryl Rivers | Posted April 9, 2008 | Politics


Caryl Rivers

Early on in the presidential primaries, it seemed that Barack Obama had managed to do the improbable, if not the impossible -- transcend the thorny question of race in American politics. I had hoped this situation would continue.

It was not, alas, to be. The whole issue of Reverend...

John Eskow | Posted April 2, 2008 | Politics


John Eskow

When an outhouse-supply rag like The National Enquirer trumpets a headline like "The Most Shocking Story You Will Ever Read!", as it does in its current issue, its 7-11 readers have every right to expect something truly juicy -- hard-core proof that Elvis' ghost impregnated Katie Couric during a...
