Barack Needs Bill

Symbols matter. Elections are about perceptions. Once Hillary is put away, Obama will need Bill, so I suggest he improve his groveling. Hell, he secured that lapel pin and got that bowling ball down the lane, didn't he?

Defining Obama

Dylan Loewe | Posted 04.25.2008 | Politics


Dylan Loewe

Obama is being described as unelectable, as incapable of connecting with working class voters, and as someone who might be uncomfortable with patriotism. Obama is being defined by others. It's time for him to do the defining.

The Latest Proof that the Karl Rove Playbook Has Become the MSM's Bible

Arianna Huffington | Posted 04.21.2008 | Media


Arianna Huffington

The mainstream media seems intent on confirming that it has so internalized the Right's framing and messages they have now become part of its DNA. The first of the latest round of exhibits proving this was offered into evidence during last week's ABC debate. This was followed by the New York Times' epic revelation of the unseemly complicity between the Pentagon and the media in delivering the Bush administration's talking points on Iraq via "a kind of Trojan media horse" -- Pentagon-approved, prepped, and financially-enriched "military analysts" dutifully parroting the Bush party line, with nary a raised eyebrow from the TV stations and newspapers offering these highly-decorated sock puppets their prestigious platforms. And it's not just the media. Witness Hillary Clinton repeating the Rove-promoted lie that MoveOn was against intervention in Afghanistan after 9/11.

The nation has witnessed, firsthand, George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson for who they really are: pandering yellow journalists. Carnival barkers. They're Penn & Teller without the talent or insight.

Charlie Gibson was unctuous and petty and wrong. If Americans needed more proof that the media elite are rich and out of touch, Gibson gave them more.

Gibson and Stephanopoulos focused mainly on trivial issues as Clinton and Obama faced off in Philadelphia. They, and their network, should hang their collective heads in shame.

Obama's Test

Robert Schlesinger | Posted 02.26.2008 | Politics


Robert Schlesinger

Obama needs to close out Clinton so that he can start to define himself before the GOP makes it all about lapel flag-pins. Success can inebriate -- and cause a campaign to lose its edge.
