Hillary Clinton has flatly said she&#8217;ll never run for president again.  She&#8217;s even mused about retirement.  But can a woman who fought so hard and came so close to bagging the big enchilada last time around suddenly flip off the ambition switch?
Ask yourself: particularly in light of her trip to Pakistan, who&#8217;s sounding [...]]]></description>

Now that&#8217;s it been announced that Pres. Obama will get together Thursday with Sgt. James Crowley and Prof. H.L. Gates for the proverbial beer, PBO&#8217;s spin doctors are surely feverishly at work.   The White House must be looking at the event as the last best chance to salvage something from the president&#8217;s gaffe.  Not [...]]]></description>

His style might be more &#8220;regular-guy&#8221; than that of some of his fellow MSNBC hosts.  But Dylan Ratigan&#8217;s substance is apparently just as MSM-elitist as the rest of the network&#8217;s lot . . .
On his new show in the 9 AM slot, Ratigan today accused American police of having a culture based fundamentally on &#8220;intimidation.&#8221;   [...]]]></description>

Could Harold Ford, Jr. be a fan?  On Morning Joe today, the former-congressman-turned-professor, commenting on the Cambridge brouhaha, said:
&#8220;I think, look, the guy [Officer Crowley] did the right thing. My only question is once you determine there was no break-in, guy may be yakking off, I don&#8217;t care if he&#8217;s black or white, his name [...]]]></description>

If there&#8217;s one thing likely to rally Republicans around Sarah Palin, even those who might harbor qualms about her, it&#8217;s to see her literally laughed at and mocked by the likes of Charles Schumer and Bob Shrum.  On Today&#8217;s Meet The Press, the senior senator from New York and the former Dem campaign adviser did [...]]]></description>

T.S. Eliot might have to go back to the drawing board.  April might not be the cruelest month after all.  At least for Barack Obama, some combination of June and July is shaping up as the 30 days he&#8217;d like to forget.
Check out the chart after the jump, which shows the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking [...]]]></description>

What does it take to be considered strange in Al Sharpton&#8217;s book? I&#8217;d really like to know.  Cause if Michael Jackson doesn&#8217;t qualify, then the Reverend Al most know some seriously out-there dudes.
Speaking at the Staples Center service today, Sharpton, addressing himself to Jackson&#8217;s children, declared:

Early clubhouse leader for worst political advice of the year . . .
Jonathan Capehart has suggested that Republicans would be well-advised to skip a generation and wait for the Meghan McCains of the world to assume the GOP&#8217;s mantle of leadership. The WaPo editorial writer made his smirk-worthy suggestion on MSNBC this afternoon while chewing [...]]]></description>

Yeah, their government might have shot a young girl in the heart and killed a bunch of other people protesting for freedom and fair elections.  But that doesn&#8217;t mean their diplomats aren&#8217;t welcome at  US embassy parties around the world . . .
