The floodgates of the media and blogosphere are about to erupt with a torrent of articles examining exactly why Sen. Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic Party’s nomination to Sen. Barack Obama when a year ago her coronation appeared to be the more likely outcome. All sorts of angles will be covered and there can be little doubt that a variety of things contributed to her narrow defeat. (more…)
Now that the Democrats have, at long last, selected their nominee, “We” need to remind ourselves of long-standing facts concerning those persons we elected to public office. More importantly, the presidential candidates need to hear from us.
The United States is hovering closer to the thin edge of the wedge, because too large a percentage of the men and women we voted to represent our best interests – and those who will yet finagle to win our votes – are preoccupied in grudge matches for supremacy within their club quarters.
The Borowitz Report has revealed a startling new tactic the Obama campaign is taking, reinvigorating itself by shifting the “bitterness” from the voters to the candidate:
“You want to talk bitter?” Obama said to his audience. “How about losing the Pennsylvania primary after you were supposed to have this nomination locked up – that’ll make you bitter, for damn sure.”
Sen. Obama said that after Rev. Wright controversy, the ABC News debate, the flag lapel criticism, and the “red phone” ads, “You can bet your ass I know a thing or two about who’s bitter.”
Ankle Biting Pundits reveal the tab Sen. Larry Craig has been left with over the bathroom fiasco. The lawyer’s bill is probably even more of a fiasco.
GOP Senator Larry “Wide Stance” Craig has to pay a huge chunk of his $407,000 legal bill resulting from his guilty plea to “Disorderly Conduct” (i.e. trying to get busy with another guy in an airport toilet) out of his own pocket, and not use campaign funds like he tried to do previously.

So lighten up. Things aren’t always dark and somber and serious. Just most of the time….
