MCCAIN TO APPOINT MAGIC 8 BALL AS ATTORNEY GENERAL
MCCAIN TO APPOINT MAGIC 8 BALL AS ATTORNEY GENERAL
"Would be first black AG, experts say"
MSNBC
From NBC/NJ's Carrie Dann
MIAMI, FL – The question of whether or not President Bush overstepped his constitutional power by authorizing warrantless checks of Americans' international communications after 9/11 is "ambiguous," McCain said yesterday. But, he added, he hopes not to dwell on the issue.
"It's ambiguous as to whether the president acted within his authority or not," McCain told reporters at a press conference in the Florida Everglades yesterday.
The question of presidential authority has been a hot topic in past weeks, as key surveillance legislation has been gummed up in Congress. A sticking point has been the question of whether telecommunications companies can be prosecuted retroactively for participating in the post-9/11 surveillance. McCain, who believes that they should not face such penalties, called for the quick passage of that legislation, saying of the wiretapping debate that "the whole issue can be resolved by passing the FISA bill."

OBAMA CONVERTS TO JUDAISM
June 4, 2008
Washington, D.C.
Associated Press
OBAMA CONVERTS TO JUDAISM
Sen. Barack Obama, the presumed Democratic nominee for President, surprised many in the audience during his address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee(AIPAC) Policy Conference by announcing his immediate conversion to Judaism. At the end of his speech, in which he discussed the Iraq war, Iran, a future Palestinian state, and U.S.-Israeli relations, Obama told the listeners he was now a Jew. “Fulfilling a lifelong spiritual quest, which has brought me from the faith of my father and stepfather, to the Christianity of my grandparents and my wife, I have finally a home in the Hebrew faith,” Obama told the gathering of largely Jewish activists. “I look forward to sharing my faith with my Jewish brothers and sisters, and someday visiting the homeland of my people, Israel,” said Obama, to applause.
AIPAC member Alan Weisman, a Washington lawyer, was pleased. “I think it’s great. He will be the fist Jewish President, unless you count Abraham Lincoln,” he said. Others were more skeptical. Hannah Kotlowitz said, “I’m sorry, but no. The blood of Moses doesn’t flow through his veins.”
Obama said he will begin studying Hebrew this summer, in anticipation of a bar mitzvah after he becomes President. “I would like to introduce my new spiritual advisor, Rabbi Harold Meyerson, who I am assured has never said anything controversial in his whole life,” Obama told the gathering.
In a brief interview, Obama said he has always felt close the Jewish people. “My grandfather helped liberate Buchenwald, plus I’ve seen all of Woody Allen’s movies, as well as ‘Fiddler on the Roof’, ‘Yentl’, ‘An American Tale’, and ‘A Stranger Among Us’,” he said.
Experts said the move will help Obama politically. Rep. Steve Rothman, the only member of the New Jersey Congressional delegation to endorse Obama, said “I’m thrilled. This will really help voters in my district get a sense of who Obama really is - one of them.”
Pat Buchanan called the conversion “shrewd.” “It’s brilliant - although some will see it at expediency, it’s a clever tactical move that can only help him,” said Buchanan. Buchanan said that in fact, at one time he and William Safire had thought of approaching President Richard Nixon about converting to Judaism to help win the 1972 election, but “just as we were walking into the Oval Office to discuss it, he was telling Billy Graham about those ‘goddamm jews trying to bring me down,’ so we dropped the idea.” Tim Russert of NBC said the move makes sense. “This will help Obama with a key Democratic constituency he has problems with, Jewish voters. Plus, you know Sammy Davis Jr. was Jewish.”

WE ALREADY HAVE SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN
The world should launch a divestment campaign against Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions and reduce potential threats to Israel's security, Republican U.S. presidential candidate John McCain said on Monday.
"We should privatize the sanctions against Iran by launching a worldwide divestment campaign," McCain told a meeting of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), comparing such a move to similar efforts that helped bring an end to apartheid in South Africa.
"As more people, businesses, pension funds and financial institutions across the world divest from companies doing business with Iran, the radical elite who run that country will become even more unpopular than they are already," he said.
McCain, it's called OFAC: here is their website.

VAST CRACKS APPEAR IN ARCTIC ICE
Vast cracks appear in Arctic ice
By David Shukman
Environment correspondent, BBC News
Dramatic evidence of the break-up of the Arctic ice-cap has emerged from research during an expedition by the Canadian military.
Scientists travelling with the troops found major new fractures during an assessment of the state of giant ice shelves in Canada's far north.
The team found a network of cracks that stretched for more than 10 miles (16km) on Ward Hunt, the area's largest shelf.
The fate of the vast ice blocks is seen as a key indicator of climate change.

Stewart: you seem really, really stupid
Feith: not just me - Rumsfeld and Bush too
Feith: looking back i admit we were wrong about one thing - saying Iraq had WMD and that we would be greeted as liberators
Stewart: now that sounds like lying and deception to sell a product and killing people
Feith: oh sure you remember we tried to sell the war because it went really badly - but if the war had gone well i would be writing a book right now reminding people that we were really against the war
Stewart: all due respect Stupid i think i remember you guys selling this war like it was the Superbowl with blowjobs and orgasms
Feith: now that sounds fun - do you want a job
Stewart: c'mon didn't you sell this war with a pack of lies
Feith: well sure looking back we told lies but the lies were only clear in hindsight
Stewart: i don't believe you just fucked up
Feith: no no no - i disagree i believe this administration is mostly morons
Stewart: really?

Stewart: why didn't you focus on diplomacy?
Feith: we tried that - it was a lovely nanosecond
Feith: diplomacy failed when Saddam let the inspectors in and we realized he was not serious about war and cheated by agreeing to our demands
Stewart: but you lied
Feith: we had to lie because after 9/11 we need to prevent another 9/11 by attacking coutries before they ever thought of attacking us
Stewart: don't you see how immoral that kind of lying is
Feith: no i really don't

BAILOUT HOMEOWNERS? NOW THAT'S JUST CRAZY
Protesters Enter Bear Stearns Headquarters
By REUTERS
NEW YORK (Reuters) - About 60 protesters opposed to the U.S. Federal Reserve's help in bailing out Bear Stearnsentered the lobby of the investment bank's Manhattan headquarters on Wednesday, demanding assistance for struggling homeowners.
Demonstrators organized by the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America chanted "Help Main Street, not Wall Street" and entered the lobby without an invitation for around half an hour before being escorted out by police.
"There are no provisions for homeowners in this deal. There are people out there struggling who need help," said Detria Austin, an organizer at NACA, an advocacy group for home ownership.
Bear Stearns employees were alternatively amused and perplexed, taking pictures on their cell phones.
"Homeowners, that's more than $1 trillion (in mortgage debt), you're crazy," one man in a suit screamed at a protester on the street.

Will AP reporter Ron Fournier respond to these charges? Does he deny them?
Nobody expects Ron Fournier to be perfect. But he better never forget that he isn't.

TWO DEATHLY HALLOWS FILMS!!??
The seventh and final Harry Potter novel will be adapted for the big screen in two parts, reports suggest.
Producer David Heyman told the Los Angeles Times it had been impossible to cram Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows' 608 pages into a single movie. "Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book," he said.
Fans of the series have been left disappointed in the past when key scenes, including Quidditch matches, were excised for the film adaptations. Star Daniel Radcliffe told the Los Angeles Times that splitting the final book in two was the only sensible option for the film-makers.
"There have been compartmentalised subplots in the other books that have made them easier to cut - although those cuts were still to the horror of some fans," he told the paper. The seventh book doesn't really have any subplots. It's one driving, pounding story from the word go."
The first will reportedly be released in November 2010, with the second part hitting screens the following May.
The first five movies have made $4.5 billion (£2.2 billion) worldwide - making it the biggest film franchise in box office history, surpassing both James Bond and Star Wars.

BUT HAS HE MET ADMIRAL KIRK?
As the Democratic presidential campaign has intensified in recent weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her supporters have said that Senator Barack Obama has not crossed the “threshold” to serve as commander in chief.
So does Mr. Obama believe that Mrs. Clinton is qualified?
“Yes,” Mr. Obama said. “As I believe Senator McCain is and as I believe I am. Keep in mind though, I think it is fair to say Senator Clinton has deployed this as a political strategy.”
In a news conference with reporters here today, Mr. Obama was flanked by 10 former generals and admirals who are supporting his candidacy. It is the latest in a series of dueling flag-draped events between the Clinton and Obama campaigns as they seek to demonstrate their national security credentials.

Williams: now let me flash the Drudge photo again and cite the Drudge Report twice
Clinton: oh for fuck's sake
Obama: well that's fine she denies the whole Drudge thing although a doubt it - but let's talk about health care -- she never lets a day go by without reminding people that I would leave 15 million people to die in the street without health insurance
Clinton: oh yeah that's true
Obama: well she only covers people with a mandate that would include garnishing wages
Clinton: but those are free riders
Obama: oh quit whining look at your Robo-calls
Clinton: no my lies on other issues are ok - but this issue is too important to send out bad mailings - its like the health insurance companies wrote it - i take on the insurers by requiring people to go out and buy health insurance
Obama: bullshit i care about sick people as much as you do
Clinton: we all must be in the same boat so insurers can't cherrry pick the sick people
Obama: criminy that does not make sense of course insurers like a mandate and how does her plan bring down costs
Clinton: He's Barack Mandate Obama when he requires parents to go out and get it's so wrong to make parents take care of their children
Obama: wrong wrong demmit
Clinton: no my plan is affordable because i have loads of subsidies and tax credits and i would limit the cost of premiums
Obama: its a gift to insurers
Clinton: health insurance is health care - there is no difference so ergo under your plan everyone dies
Obama: duh my plan makes parents get health insurance for their kids because it's affordable
Clinton: those young fuckers must be forced to buy health insurance they think they are immortal
Williams: maybe they're Highlanders

Clinton: i can't believe your mommy let you out that late at night
Russert: gotcha hillary you said dozens of times that NAFTA was great and courageous - will you pull out of NAFTA
Clinton: i will renegotiate it - but to be fair NAFTA really was a good idea and courageous
Russert: so was it a good idea or not??
Clinton: Tim you don't have the entire record sometimes i say it's good and sometimes i don't - i've been entirely consistent
Russert: can you prove that

Clinton: hey fatty i thought al gore would be president all we need to do is elect a democrat
Russert: good point - Brian you try her she scares me
Williams: Hillary says you are just like George W Bush with no experience
Obama: that's because she is a creature of Washington and she is another John McCain who wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years
Brian: but she is against the war now
Obama: she freaked out when i said i would get tough on Pakistan but i was right
Clinton: i liberated ireland and gave a speech in china
Williams: but he was right about Iraq
Clinton: no i would question his foreign policy judgment
Williams: give me an example of where he has been wrong
Clinton: he agreed with me on Iraq
Williams: wow that is dumb
Williams: but if he agreed with you then what makes you better?
Clinton: i went to 80 countries with the Bill Clinton presidency
Williams: were you qualified for that?
Clinton: shut up
Obama: look Hillary and George W. Bush drove the American bus into a ditch and i'm trying to get the bus out of the ditch but it's hard
Williams: you're a hot head
Obama: i never said i would bomb Pakistan i said we need to stop fucking around with the people who attacked on 9/11 it's about a speech it's a break with the Clinton-McCain Doctrine
Tim: if the iraqi government says we should leave but Bill Kristol says we should stay should we leave???
Obama: of course motherfucker

Clinton: hey giving bizarre speeches is my idea of fun - you know 15 years ago i failed at making universal health care plan happen so i know what i'm doing
Brian: naturally but what else
Clinton: take on credit cards companies, dick cheney, and special interest and i am a fighter
Obama Clip: you can't run away from some things in teh White House but not others
Williams: you have to take the good and take the bad
Obama: and there you have it those are the Facts of Life
Williams: was she co-presnit?
Obama: Look fighting is not enough she ended up fighting Pat Moynihan but look if you want a fighter high a black man from the mean streets of chicago and not a fucking goldwater girl
Williams: damm my negro gettin tough
Obama: she takes cash from special interests she's part of the problem

Ferraro Explains How Wonderful Superdelegates Are
Geraldine Ferraro:
Democrats had to figure out a way to unify our party. What better way, we reasoned, than to get elected officials involved in writing the platform, sitting on the credentials committee and helping to write the rules that the party would play by?
So we created superdelegates and gave that designation to every Democratic member of Congress...
These superdelegates, we reasoned, are the party’s leaders. They are the ones who can bring together the most liberal members of our party with the most conservative and reach accommodation. They would help write the platform. They would determine if a delegate should be seated. They would help determine the rules. And having done so, they would have no excuse to walk away from the party or its presidential nominee.
It worked. In 1984 I headed the party’s platform committee. We produced the longest platform in Democratic history, a document that stated the party’s principles in broad terms that neither the most liberal nor the most conservative elected officials would denounce. It generated no fights at the convention. It was a document that no one would walk away from.
It worked so well that in 1984 the Democrats only lost 49 states! Awesome!

JOHN McCAIN TRIES TO WRIGGLE OUT OF ELECTION PLEDGE; FEC SAYS NOT SO FAST
FEC chair: McCain can't drop out of public financing system
"The government's top campaign finance regulator says John McCain can't drop out of the primary election's public financing system until he answers questions about a loan he obtained to kickstart his once faltering presidential campaign.
Federal Election Commission Chairman David Mason, in a letter to McCain this week, said the all-but-certain Republican nominee needs to assure the commission that he did not use the promise of public money to help secure a $4 million line of credit he obtained in November.
McCain's lawyer, Trevor Potter, said Wednesday evening that McCain has withdrawn from the system and that the FEC can't stop him. Potter, who was FEC chairman in 1994, said the campaign did not encumber the public funds in any way."
MAYBE HE'LL WRITE TO THE FCC FOR YOU, TOO
"In late 1999, McCain twice wrote letters to the Federal Communications Commission on behalf of Florida-based Paxson Communications — which had paid Iseman as its lobbyist — urging quick consideration of a proposal to buy a television station license in Pittsburgh. At the time, Paxson's chief executive, Lowell W. "Bud" Paxson, also was a major contributor to McCain's 2000 presidential campaign.
In an unusual response, then-FCC Chairman William Kennard complained that McCain's request "comes at a sensitive time in the deliberative process" and "could have procedural and substantive impacts on the commission's deliberations and, thus, on the due process rights of the parties."
McCain wrote the letters after he received more than $20,000 in contributions from Paxson executives and lobbyists. Paxson also lent McCain his company's jet at least four times during 1999 for campaign travel."
***********************************************************************
"I've never done any favors for anybody — lobbyist or special-interest group. That's a clear, 24-year record," McCain told reporters.

Bush on Castro
Bush has just come out against two brothers manipulating elections to put one of them in power.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
MEDAL OF FREEDOM, BABY!
Former CIA Director George Tenet has taken a job at a New York investment bank with a reputation for secrecy.
In keeping with the tradition of what Fortune Magazine once called a "very private family firm," Allen and Co. did not issue a news release last October when Tenet became a managing director there.
The appointment was first reported by the French publication Intelligence Online.
A former U.S. intelligence official close to Tenet confirmed to United Press International that he had started work at the bank in October last year, and said he stepped down from at least one other board as a result.
According to Fortune Magazine, the bank organizes a retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho, every July that "may be the biggest annual event on the corporate calendar" but otherwise maintains a low profile.
Hoover's company information service says the company is "viewed as something of a secret society" and "serves variously as investor, underwriter, and broker to some of the biggest names in entertainment, technology, and information."

MARK PENN QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Winning Democratic primaries is not a qualification or a sign of who can win the general election. If it were, every nominee would win because every nominee wins Democratic primaries.”

YET ANOTHER REASON NOT TO HIRE MARK PENN
Even as Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign was blasting Sen. Barack Obama for his ties to the Exelon Corporation, the firm of Mark Penn, Clinton's chief strategist, was earning hundreds of thousands of dollars from the very same nuclear energy giant.
This past week, Burson Marsteller, Penn's powerhouse consulting agency, was paid more than $230,000 by Exelon to help renew a nuclear energy license in New Jersey, the Huffington Post has learned. The payment was for work that took place over several months, and Burson is still employed by the company.
It's pretty clear now that if Hillary Clinton does lose the nomination to Barack Obama, no one will be more heavily criticized than Mark Penn.

GOV. ED RENDELL DARES WHITE VOTERS TO VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA
Via TPM:
"According to a columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Gov. Ed Rendell (D-PA) made the following argument in a meeting with the paper's editorial board as to why Obama could have some difficulty in his state's April 22 primary:
"You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate."
Rendell, in the Hillary camp, is, aside from angering black voters, practically begging for white voters to vote for Obama to prove they aren't racists.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“She has consistently shown an electoral resiliency in difficult situations that have made her a winner,” Mr. Penn said. “Senator Obama has in fact never had a serious Republican challenger.”
In her Senate races in 2000 and 2006, Hillary Clinton defeated Rep. Rick Lazio and John Spencer, the former Mayor of Yonkers.

GENIUSES BEHIND THE HOUSING CRISIS LIVING IT UP IN VEGAS
Creators of Credit Crisis Revel in Las Vegas
By Vikas Bajaj
In a gilded ballroom at the Venetian, the revelers sipped cabernet, dined on surf and turf and crowed as the Blue Man Group put on a private show. The partygoers had traveled to Sin City this week for an event that before the current credit squeeze might have been called the Predators’ Ball of this era.
This time, with mortgage securities replacing the junk bonds of the 1980s, the gathering felt more like group therapy. The occasion was, officially, the 5th annual conference of the American Securitization Forum, a celebration of the financial wizardry that supposedly turns risky mortgages and other loans into gilt-edged securities...
The four-day event at the Venetian drew more than 6,500 financial professionals from across the country. Many came in search of ways to ride out — or better yet, to profit from — the mortgage mess their industry helped to create.

SECRET PRISON CAMP FOR HIGH LEVEL DETAINEES DISCOVERED INSIDE GITMO
AP confirms secret camp inside Gitmo
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - Somewhere amid the cactus-studded hills on this sprawling Navy base, separate from the cells where hundreds of men suspected of links to al-Qaida and the Taliban have been locked up for years, is a place even more closely guarded — a jailhouse so protected that its very location is top secret..
Guantanamo commanders said Camp 7 is for key alleged al-Qaida members, who must be kept apart from other prisoners to prevent them from retaliating against long-term detainees who have talked to interrogators. They also want the location kept secret for fear of terrorist attack.
Detainees have been held in Camp Echo and Camps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Journalists cleared by the military have been allowed to tour some of these lockups, where 260 men are held, but aren't allowed to speak to detainees. Some lawmakers and other VIPs have passed through, and the International Red Cross has access, but doesn't divulge details of visits with prisoners.
Camp 7, where 15 "high-value detainees" are held, is so secret that its very existence was not publicly known until it was mentioned in December by attorneys for Majid Khan, a former Baltimore resident who allegedly plotted to bomb gas stations in the United States. Previously, many observers believed the 15 were being held in Camps 5 or 6, which are maximum-security facilities.

IT'S OFFICIAL: WE'RE DUMB
Panel: Spy agencies
in dark about threats
In a scathing report on the intelligence community, a presidential commission Thursday said the United States still knows "disturbingly little" about the weapons programs and intentions of many of its "most dangerous adversaries."
The panel also determined the intelligence community was "dead wrong" in its assessments of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction capabilities before the U.S. invasion.

WHY DID GOODELL DESTROY PATRIOTS' TAPES?
Answer: We still don't know
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Defends Destroying
Evidence in Spygate Scandal
AP News
In the face of congressional pressure over destroying evidence from the Spygate scandal, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell defended his actions Friday.
Goodell also said he'd be willing to meet with Sen. Arlen Specter, who sent a letter to the commissioner the previous day asking why tapes shot by the New England Patriots in the cheating scandal were destroyed.
"The reason I destroyed the tapes is they were totally consistent with what the team told me," Goodell said during his State of the NFL speech. "It was the appropriate thing to do and I think it sent a message.
"The actual effectiveness of taping and taking of signals from opponents — it is something done widely in many sports. I think it probably had limited, if any effect, on the outcome of games.
"We wanted to take and destroy that information," he said. "They may have collected it within the rules, but we couldn't determine that. So we felt that it should be destroyed."
If this makes sense to you, let me know.

Tim Russert: you attacked Martin Luther King - would like to attack Abraham Lincoln or JFK on my show this morning?
Hillary Clinton: no thanks
Russert: you claim Obama is an Islamic drug dealer
Clinton: i haven't heard that
Russert: you hate civil rights activists?
Clinton: no i love MLK - i marched with Dr. King and Mitt Romney and he was he was gassed and jailed and campaigned
Russert: so what does that have to do with you and Obama
Clinton: Obama is a big liar he’s trying to reverse-Swift-boat me
Russert: very clever
Clinton: look i'm female and he's black so let's all be happy and not get bogged down
Russert: bill attacked him as a fairy tale but i love fairy tales
Clinton: ok Obama was against the war in 2002 but by 2004 he was voting for the funding the war
Russert: so did you!
Clinton: yeah but he didn't introduce legislation against the war when he could have
Russert: what do you want him to do?
Clinton: he said i killed Bhutto and Tim you can't prove that!!!
Russert: Rep Clyburn says Bill was offensive
Clinton: no no no you mislead pumpkinhaid
Russert: even Donna Brazille hates you
Clinton: oh 'cooking with grease' give me a break
Russert: some random black woman says you are minimizing King and it takes a white man to make change happen
Clinton: you fat liar Obama compared himself to Kennedy and he was a war hero and King was a real leader and Obama is just a kid
Russert: so he's not a legendary politician big deal
Clinton: King would endorse me today because i am a legislator and Obama is just a pretty speechmaker
Russert: so you don't hate black people?
Clinton: no i admire politically active blacks not eloquent Johnny-come-latelies like Obama
Russert: you compare Obama to demagogues like Huey Long!!
Clinton: he's just a speaker and he has done nothing goddamitt i've taken shit for the party and bill clinton and upstate new york and i'm owed dammit
Russert: why should people vote for you
Clinton: i'm really boring

Clinton: totally only i can deal with the economy, health care, iraq, iran and afghanistan
Russert: was that a yes?
Clinton: yes - he only passed an anti-lunch bill whereas i can answer hundreds of questions

Clinton: but i've walked through the fires of hell for 35 years
Russert: what's the best reason to vote for you
Clinton: it will makes Chris Matthews absolutely crazy
Russert: If Saint Petreaus says we should stay will you let our troops will stay??

Clinton: in January of 2009 our troops will come home so the Iraqis best get used to it

Russert: oh ok
Clinton: Obama wanted to surrender to Saddam and just let him keep his biological weapons
Russert: the ones he didn't have
Clinton: Obama should have held himself to a higher standard because of his speech and not support John Kerry otherwise what is the point of even having a Magic Negro???
Russert: you voted for war and if you disagree that's bunk
Clinton: i'm not going to give the UN Security Council a veto over American policy
Russert: don't we sit on the Security Council?
Clinton: the point is i was very strongly in favor of only give a Bush a year to attack Iraq
Russert: oh good
Clinton: it wasn't a vote for force
Russert: the title of the bill was a vote for use of force
Clinton: we can sit here and argue about who voted for what but the point is Obama was supporting Bush in 2004
Russert: but so did you??
Clinton: yeah but I don't pretend to be perfect like he does!!
Russert: did he have better judgment in 2002
Clinton: one little decision
Russert: it was a decision to go war!
Clinton: Ask him about his positions since then!
Russert: i did
Clinton: his answer was very political
Russert: oh noes!
Clinton: yeah he pretends he's all non-political but everyone knows i'm triangulating so it doesn’t count
Russert: so no fair
Clinton: right - we need someone careful now not someone who’s going to go off half cocked and inspire people
Russert: doris kearns goodwin says you haven't learned
Clinton: oh fuck her

Russert: you claim Obama is an Islamic drug dealer
Clinton: i haven't heard that
Russert: you hate civil rights activists?
Clinton: no i love MLK - i marched with Dr. King and Mitt Romney and he was he was gassed and jailed and campaigned
Russert: so what does that have to do with you and Obama
Clinton: Obama is a big liar he’s trying to reverse-Swift-boat me
Russert: very clever
Clinton: look i'm female and he's black so let's all be happy and not get bogged down
Russert: bill attacked him as a fairy tale but i love fairy tales
Clinton: ok Obama was against the war in 2002 but by 2004 he was voting for the funding the war
Russert: so did you!
Clinton: yeah but he didn't introduce legislation against the war when he could have
Russert: what do you want him to do?
Clinton: he said i killed Bhutto and Tim you can't prove that!!!
Russert: Rep Clyburn says Bill was offensive
Clinton: no no no you mislead pumpkinhaid
Russert: even Donna Brazille hates you
Clinton: oh 'cooking with grease' give me a break
Russert: some random black woman says you are minimizing King and it takes a white man to make change happen
Clinton: you fat liar Obama compared himself to Kennedy and he was a war hero and King was a real leader and Obama is just a kid
Russert: so he's not a legendary politician big deal
Clinton: King would endorse me today because i am a legislator and Obama is just a pretty speechmaker
Russert: so you don't hate black people?
Clinton: no i admire politically active blacks not eloquent Johnny-come-latelies like Obama
Russert: you compare Obama to demagogues like Huey Long!!
Clinton: he's just a speaker and he has done nothing goddamitt i've taken shit for the party and bill clinton and upstate new york and i'm owed dammit
Russert: why should people vote for you
Clinton: i'm really boring
Russert: you say you’re workhorse and he's a showhorse
Clinton: look i've paid my dues and did hard work
Russert: Obama talks pretty but is lazy?
Clinton: oh don't tempt me fatty
Russert: you cried why -- your time of the month?
Clinton: no i'm human stupid and i was touched by voters telling me about all their problems it's fucking moving Timmy
Russert: but that woman voted later for Barack because you're stiff and dull
Clinton: fuck you timmy i mean that
Russert: is obama unready?
Clinton: totally only i can deal with the economy, health care, iraq, iran and afghanistan
Russert: was that a yes?
Clinton: yes - he only passed an anti-lunch bill whereas i can answer hundreds of questions
Russert: you won in 2000 cause Lazio went after you and after Obama and Edwards ganged up you played the gender card
Clinton: bullshit obama is the one playing the race card
Russert: oh?
Clinton: i'm a daughter and wife and sister and a lover
Russert: you're tied with Barack
Clinton: but i've walked through the fires of hell for 35 years
Russert: what's the best reason to vote for you
Clinton: it will makes Chris Matthews absolutely crazy
Russert: If Saint Petreaus says we should stay will you let our troops will stay??
Clinton: no because on Day One we will begin troops withdraw in the first 60 days and pressure the Iraqis to get their shit together
Russert: But the Generals!
Clinton: in January of 2009 our troops will come home so the Iraqis best get used to it
Russert: The surge has worked and you know it!!!!
Clinton: Timmy i use small words now -- the surge has failed to achieve political unity - of course our troops are good at killing but it's still killing
Russert: but awesome killing
Russert: you voted for the war and attacking Saddam and the same day Obama gave a speech where he was proven fucking right
Clinton: oh just words Timmeh look i didn't support the war just a vote disarm Saddam by force
Russert: oh ok
Clinton: Obama wanted to surrender to Saddam and just let him keep his biological weapons
Russert: the ones he didn't have
Clinton: Obama should have held himself to a higher standard because of his speech and not support John Kerry otherwise what is the point of even having a Magic Negro???
Russert: you voted for war and if you disagree that's bunk
Clinton: i'm not going to give the UN Security Council a veto over American policy
Russert: don't we sit on the Security Council?
Clinton: the point is i was very strongly in favor of only give a Bush a year to attack Iraq
Russert: oh good
Clinton: it wasn't a vote for force
Russert: the title of the bill was a vote for use of force
Clinton: we can sit here and argue about who voted for what but the point is Obama was supporting Bush in 2004
Russert: but so did you??
Clinton: yeah but I don't pretend to be perfect like he does!!
Russert: did he have better judgment in 2002
Clinton: one little decision
Russert: it was a decision to go war!
Clinton: Ask him about his positions since then!
Russert: i did
Clinton: his answer was very political
Russert: oh noes!
Clinton: yeah he pretends he's all non-political but everyone knows i'm triangulating so it doesn’t count
Russert: so no fair
Clinton: right - we need someone careful now not someone who’s going to go off half cocked and inspire people
Russert: doris kearns goodwin says you haven't learned
Clinton: oh fuck her
Russert: do you wish you had read the NIE?
Clinton: hey i thought i was voting for sending inspectors in
Russert: punk'd!
Clinton: bush himself said the vote i cast was to avoid war
Russert: you fucked up - you trusted him
Clinton: President Otter yes
Russert: back in 1992 Bill Clinton gave a speech endorsing Obama!

JOHN EDWARDS FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
A while ago, I created a post titled a post "Chris Dodd for Senate Majority Leader".
Dodd has dropped out and more people jumping on the bandwagon for Chris Dodd to replace Harry Reid .
Today, a new post based on John Edwards passion for fighting and his experience litigating against corporations.
If he doens't get the Democratic nomination, and he doesn't want to be Vice President, what better job than U.S. Attorney General in an Obama administration?
*** John Edwards for Attorney General ***

DEAR JAY LENO: THANKS FOR THE DOUGHNUTS, BUT FUCK YOU
Letter from the Writes Guild to its members:
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien here in New York – also are returning Wednesday night, but without their striking writers. Leno, O’Brien and Kimmel are all members of the Guild and have been and continue to be extremely supportive of our strike and their writing staffs. For that we truly are grateful.
Nonetheless, they are coming back without writers and without a new Guild contract, forced back on the air by companies that refuse to sit at the table and bargain with us. We cannot let that pass.
It’s a difficult and painful decision, but the Guilds East and West have determined that we will picket outside the studios of these programs, beginning January 2.

HUCKABEE REALLY IS CRAZY
Jim Tankersley, at the Chicago Tribune's blog The Swamp, writes a post titled "Huckabee's muzzle control problem," and scores a minor scoop on a bizarre incident at "pheasant-hunting expedition" by Huckabee in Iowa on Wednesday. A reporter asked why he hadn’t invited Cheney along, and Huckabee said, "Because I want to survive all the way through this."
Tankersley writes, "Huckabee’s party turned toward a cluster of reporters and cameramen and, when they kicked up a pheasant, fired shotgun blasts over the group’s heads." He added: "This, friends, is dangerously bad hunting form.”
"Your Swamp correspondent, the son of a longtime hunter education instructor, grew up plying the corn rows and stream banks of rural Oregon with a Labrador retriever and a Mossberg 20-gauge pump shotgun. On our hunts for pheasant, grouse and quail, merely swinging a gun barrel in the general direction of another person was grounds for day-long banishment to the truck (which smelled like wet dog)."
"Suffice to say, if any of our hunting mates had pulled a stunt like Huckabee’s yesterday, we never would have invited them back. It’s the sort of behavior that drives safety-conscious hunters up the wall, because it reinforces a reckless, gun-totin’ stereotype."
"My colleague James Oliphant reports that Huckabee’s party was about 75 yards away from the press corps Wednesday when a pheasant jumped up and flew toward the reporters, drawing several shots. 'That was too close,' he reports a cameraman saying."
Perhaps Huckabee missed hunter’s safety classes – Arkansas only requires them for hunters born after 1968 – but the etiquette on this point is clear.
“Never point a firearm at yourself or others,” the International Hunter Education Association declares in its Basic Safety Rules. Later, it adds, “Never point your firearm at something you do not intend to shoot. Make sure you positively identify what you are shooting at and know what lies in front of and beyond it.”
Huckabee emerged happily from his hunt, three dead pheasants in tow, Oliphant reports. Asked for a metaphor to describe the hunt, he replied, "Don't get in my way. This is what happens."
