When I first heard this story it sent me reminiscing about the bad old days of the Bush/Kerry race.
CBS/ AP) A threatening letter containing an unidentified white powder was received at John McCain's campaign offices in Denver, Colorado, CBS News has learned.
A second letter sent to a McCain campaign office in New Hampshire initially was reported to contain a white substance. Authorities said that was a false alarm and there was no powder in that envelope.
This seems to have the characteristics of a Karl Rovian tactic; but then, Democrats are now on the Karl Rove Dirty Tricks Watch alert (KRDTW).
According to NPR, there is a half sister that doesn't exist, according to Cindy.
Documents show Kathleen Anne Hensley was born to Jim and Mary Jeanne Hensley on Feb. 23, 1943. They had been married for six years when Kathleen was born.
Jim Hensley was a bombardier on a B-17, flying over Europe during World War II.
He was injured and sent to a facility in West Virginia to recuperate. During that time, while still married to Mary Jeanne, Hensley met another woman — Marguerite Smith. Jim divorced Mary Jeanne and married Marguerite in 1945.
Cheney was supposed to speak to the Disabled American Veterans at it's August convention, but they told him to forget about it. Why? Due to security demands, they were required to get up at dawn, shower, eat, put on their prosthetics; and then they couldn't leave to use the bathroom, which was outside.
Sara Littman, columnist for both the Times and the Stamford Advocate, has always been a progressive voice here in Connecticut, but her final bid for the cause at the Greenwich Time was an editorial in which she spoke up against candidate Lee Whitnum. Lee is running as a Democrat against ActBlue candidate Jim Himes.
Sara has always been a stalwart supporter of Democrats here in Connecticut - we cannot afford to lose her voice.
Christians and Jews quickly called on Lieberman to reject an invitation to appear again at this year's CUFI conference in Washington. Lieberman refused. He will address the group Tuesday evening and he will likely again praise Hagee and damn the political fallout.
Once again, Joe manages to supremely tick off people of both the Jewish and Catholic faith (which Hagee refers to as "The Great Whore)."
McCain's flip-flopping has become so consistent it's impossible to figure out any central message. There might be a reason for this -
Sometimes it pays to look between the lines. The bloggers at the L.A. Times found a few entertaining facts:
Unlike last year, McCain is working hard to raise money now, and his schedulers fill in the blanks with interviews and other events to attract free media coverage wherever they happen to be.
Mr. Lieberman was leaning back in a chair in his Senate office, wearing a loose-fitting pinstriped suit, grinning a lot and appearing quite comfortable while describing "my uncomfortable position." He compared his predicament to the old Groucho Marx conceit, "I don’t care to belong to any club that will accept me as a member."
They compare the good old Obama with the new, not improved version. Here's one comparison:
The new Barack Obama has abandoned his vow to filibuster an electronic wiretapping bill if it includes an immunity clause for telecommunications companies that amounts to a sanctioned cover-up of Mr. Bush’s unlawful eavesdropping after 9/11.
In January, when he was battling for Super Tuesday votes, Mr. Obama said that the 1978 law requiring warrants for wiretapping, and the special court it created, worked. "We can trace, track down and take out terrorists while ensuring that our actions are subject to vigorous oversight and do not undermine the very laws and freedom that we are fighting to defend," he declared.
Now, he supports the immunity clause as part of what he calls a compromise but actually is a classic, cynical Washington deal that erodes the power of the special court, virtually eliminates "vigorous oversight" and allows more warrantless eavesdropping than ever.
Robert Greenwald and his Brave New Films have started an online petition to have Joe Lieberman stripped of his chairmanship of Homeland Security. So far 20,325 have signed to remove this blight. Feel free to do so, too!
The CFL Party was started by Sen. Lieberman after he lost the Democratic primary to Ned Lamont. The Senator neglected to join his party, and the wiley Prof. John Orman took it over. I was elected Secretary, and with our other members, we used the party as a vehicle to hold Joe accountable.
The Senator visits Fairfield University, and embarrasses Connecticut again. WTF?$@!??
To separate religious faith from American public life is unnatural, U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, an Orthodox Jew, told a largely Roman Catholic student audience Friday at Fairfield University.
"Faith is part of our strength," he said. Lieberman also told students he is thrilled about having an audience with the pope and defended the continued American role in Iraq after nearly five years of bloodshed.
THIS one??? The one who said of John Hagee, the man who believes Katrina was God's revenge?
Fortunately, you here tonight know that evil will not prevail if good people act. And I know you will not allow Iran and Al Qaeda to triumph over America and Israel.
The Connecticut for Lieberman Party is holding a statewide party meeting to nominate candidates for office on March 6, 2008 at 6:30 PM at 243 Zion Street in Hartford, Connecticut.
