Obama De-friends Wright on Facebook

Andy Borowitz | Posted April 30, 2008 | Politics


Andy Borowitz

In an act that campaign insiders said indicated an irrevocable break with his former pastor, Sen. Barack Obama today de-friended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Facebook.

Sen. Obama's comments about Rev. Wright on Tuesday seemed to indicate that a total rift with his former minister was underway, but his decision...

Democrats Diminishing Horizon

Logan Nakyanzi Pollard | Posted March 19, 2008 | Politics


Logan Nakyanzi Pollard

We had a chance, we really did. But the prospect that Democrats will finally "get it" is fading fast. Two examples to illustrate this point:

1. The rise and fall of Samantha Power:

Power was sharply criticized for saying that Sen. Hillary Clinton was a monster, and defined Clinton's "monstrosity"...

Samantha Power is a Pulitzer Prize winning author and foreign policy expert who specializes in human rights and is a tireless fighter against genocide, but because of this one occasion where she said something impolite about Hillary Clinton to a...

Geraldine Ferraro and Samantha Power -- Ugghh!!

Hilary Rosen | Posted March 13, 2008 | Politics


Hilary Rosen

Samantha, thanks for stepping back. Gerry, thanks for nothing.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been having some fights lately. But mostly fair fights. She is questioning his credentials to be commander-in-chief; He is questioning her on tax returns. Not pleasant discussions in either case. But they are clearly...

Samantha Power, Ethical Journalism and Truth: To Quote or Not to Quote?

Omid Memarian | Posted March 13, 2008 | Media


Omid Memarian

In every journalist's life there are moments that define him or her. These are moments of extreme temptation, selfishness and/or honesty. For The Scotsman reporter Gerry Peev, publishing an "off the record" remark made by Samantha Power -- Obama's senior foreign policy advisor -- was one of those...

Dem Distress

Sara Nichols | Posted March 12, 2008 | Politics


Sara Nichols

What do George Washington and Abraham Lincoln have in common? Each had virtually no relevant experience before becoming president. And what do you suppose Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney have in common -- besides being perfidious, nefarious, malignant, noxious, ignominious reprobates? They both came to Washington with more experience...

A Candidate of Hope and Hard Work

Anne-Marie Slaughter | Posted March 11, 2008 | Politics


Anne-Marie Slaughter

"This election, which once elated me, is starting to depress me." That's what a friend of mine, an Obama supporter, wrote in connection with Samantha Power's resignation over calling Hillary a "monster". Whatever advantage the Clinton campaign may have gained out of this incident, it should be very careful not...

Power Proves All Is Fair

In today's Financial Times, Gideon Rachman writes the real problem with Samantha Power is that she is "too open for [her] own good." Although his tone is sympathetic, the logic of his argument reinforces a culture in which politics are merely another form of sports or war rather than...

Obama's Next Phase

Trey Ellis | Posted March 10, 2008 | Politics


Trey Ellis

He secured at least the VP spot months ago and until Hillary hit back hard he was poised for total victory and is still the odds-on favorite. The 3am spot has gotten way too much ink and didn't run in Ohio at all. Obama's media team handled it brilliantly,...

Will Hillary Demand That She Resign From Her Own Campaign?

Miles Mogulescu | Posted March 10, 2008 | Politics


Miles Mogulescu

Hillary Clinton and her top surrogates, including Communications Director Howard Wolfson, have been very busy recently demanding the resignation of Barack Obama's policy advisors.

So you can only imagine what Clinton, Wolfson, and Clinton's other surrogates would be saying if a top Obama advisor were quoted as stating that presumptive...

The Monster: A Loyal Clinton Soldier Turns in His Badge

Seth Grahame-Smith | Posted March 9, 2008 | Politics


Seth Grahame-Smith

She has no idea.

She has no idea how many times I defended her. How many right-leaning friends and relatives I battled with. How many times I played down her shady business deals and penchant for scandals -- whether it was Whitewater, Travelgate, Vince Foster, Cattle Futures, Web Hubbell,...

HRC and Rwanda: "Her Advocacy Left No Trace in the World"

Mark Kleiman | Posted March 9, 2008 | Politics


Mark Kleiman

Seems that Hillary Clinton has been doing a little resume-padding about her "experience" in foreign policy. In particular, Hillary's claim to have tried to stop the Rwandan genocide appears to be a crock. Says Hilzoy of Obsidian Wings: "If Hillary Clinton did press for military intervention in Rwanda,...

Dowd: You Can't Be Elected President Unless You Prove You're Tough

New York Times   |  Maureen Dowd   |   March 9, 2008 01:49 AM


I was covered in barbecue sauce, somewhere over Texas, when Barack Obama loped down the aisle of the plane to chat with reporters. I felt guilty, because I had been covering his speeches urging parents to make their kids...

Hillary: Obama Not Ready For Red Phone, But Would Be Awesome Veep

Andy Borowitz | Posted March 8, 2008 | Politics


Andy Borowitz

Hillary Clinton's latest game - when she's not busy saying that Barack Obama isn't a Muslim "as far as I know" - is tantalizing supporters with the idea that Obama could wind up as her vice-presidential choice on a so-called Dream Ticket.

It's a genius strategy: Democrats, forced to choose...

Absolute Samantha Power Corrupts Absolutely

Lionel Beehner | Posted March 8, 2008 | Media


Lionel Beehner

Thank God Samantha Power has resigned from the Obama campaign. Her style of honest, brash, off-the-cuff statement-making has no place in presidential politics. Political operatives should not say anything other than the talking points handed down from the campaigns' higher-ups. That is what we the viewers and voters want--not unscripted...

Staff Infections

Bob Franken

What's with all these staff meltdowns? For weeks, we've all been having fun and games ridiculing Hillary Clinton's staff. After all, how can anyone resist dumping on all the inept arrogant nastiness that screams out from behind the Hillaryland bunkers?

Now we're we're witnessing some out-of-control behavior at high levels...
