The proverbial shit has hit the fan.

John McCain is enjoying the lack of scrutiny he is receiving. For all his military experience, he is making gaffe after gaffe on the Iraq war. The last time, as you may remember, he confused the Shias and Al-Qaeda, implicating Iran was working directly with Al-Qaeda without any proof.
Now he’s getting the number of brigades [...]
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Posts

– Sarah Jessica Parker, aka Carrie Bradshaw. I love that top. The new Sex and the City movie opened this weekend. I’m not chomping at the bit to see it, I know that’s probably some sort of heresy to my gender, but I do appreciate the effect the television show has had on women [...]

Last night 28 of the 30 Rules and Bylaws Committee members got together in a hotel restaurant to discuss the Michigan-Florida delegates. The meeting started at 8 pm and did not end until 1:30 am. For five hours a range of scenarios were discussed, but no conclusion was reached.
Not-So-Worthy Quote: Dana “ICE QUEEN” Perino

“Hypothetically, which I’m not supposed to answer a hypothetical, yes, I think so. The law would allow for that. But by saying that, I’m not suggesting that that’s what would happen or not happen.”
– Current Press Secretary Dana Perino when asked if the White House can block Scott McClellan from testifying before Congress on the [...]

June 3rd is D-Day
Posted by: BookGirl on: May 29, 2008
According to The Associated Press, top democrat “leaders” (do they even exist??) are calling for uncommitted superdelegates to pick a side by June 3rd. Why June 3rd?
That’s when the final primaries will be held. No more delegates will be left to win. Superdelegates will no longer be able to hide under a rock.

Scott McClellan, who served as the White House Press Secretary from 2003-2006, has written a book which essentially throws his former employer under the bus.
He makes some startling revelations about what it was like working under the Bush Administration, and claims the Iraq War was started under a “political propaganda campaign“. The claim the [...]

Hillary’s Dreams Fizzle… AGAIN
Posted by: BookGirl on: May 28, 2008
Democratic Party lawyers have ruled the committee has the authority to seat half but not all of the delegates from Michigan and Florida. That is less than the Clinton Campaign wanted and needed.
They sent a 38 page memo to the Rules & Bylaws committee explaining that’s legally the farthest the committee can go. The [...]
