Planning to attend a fundraiser for the president? Don’t think so. Still, more than passing strange . . .
Sara Jane Moore, who in 1975 attempted to assassinate then President Gerald Ford, is out on parole after serving 32 years in prison. Asked by Matt Lauer on Today this morning what she would say [...]
Next time you’re debating Bob Shrum and want to lure him into making ugly and over-the-top attacks, just remind the audience of his unblemished 0-8 record of having lost every presidential race on which he’s worked . . .
This morning’s Today offered a prime example of the phenomenon. Nicolle Wallace, former Communications Director to Pres. [...]
Maybe it’s my inner rebellious child, but it bugs me to be told what I want. And if there’s someone I especially don’t want telling me that, it’s some do-gooder from the government.
So when Carol Browner made the morning show rounds today, claiming that Pres. Obama’s new, higher MPG standards are “giving Americans the cars [...]

Was Joe Biden giving solid advice . . . or sowing the seeds of panic? Asked on Today this morning how he’d counsel family members in light of the swine flu, the Veep said he wouldn’t take a plane, a subway train, or be in any other confined space.
Just minutes later, the Morning Joe crew [...]

Even the Today show, normally a reliable bastion of political correctness on social issues, seemed more sympathetic to Miss California when both were interviewed this morning.
