Newsweek's Michael Isikoff reports earlier today:
After John McCain nailed down the Republican nomination in March, his campaign began wrestling with a sensitive personnel issue: who would manage this summer's GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn.? The campaign recently tapped Doug Goodyear for the job, a veteran operative and Arizonan who was chosen for his "management experience and...
You have to hand it to the nation's press corps. Jenna Bush's wedding is a private as private can be, and they're doing the public job of reporting on something that there's nothing to report about. "There will be absolutely no readout, whatsoever," a White House spokesman told reporters. But they're still trying and trying and trying.
Bloomberg News gives us 708 words on how they can't...
Senator Obama has just passed Senator Clinton in the superdelegate race according to a news alert that just went out over the AP wire, with apparently some people in the US Virgin Islands briefly registering their relevance to our national political system. One island, one vote!
Of course, the newswire of record has been tracking the superdelegate count very closely, putting Obama within ...
Hey, this is your official preview at Veracifier for when Jenna Bush will put on the white dress, get in that Texas limestone altar, and say I do with the young Mr. Henry Hager.
Mazel Tov, Jenna and Henry.
Be sure to sit still at that front table while Don Rumsfeld comes by and hands you a big envelope full of euros and says how great it is when two young people love each other. Henry might...
When asked whether an Obama/Clinton ticket was possible, Ted Kennedy said the following to Bloomberg TV:
"Well, the first is always a demand that you're going to have someone that's going to be able to assume the responsibility. I would hope that he would also give consideration to somebody that has –- is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people. And I...
Mike Bloomberg sure knows how to get our attentions on a rainy Friday afternoon here in the Big Apple. He went to London to meet with new Tory Mayor Boris Johnson and all he got was this lousy t-shirt:
The two politicians' ritual exchange of gifts became slightly awkward when one ceremonial present turned out to be much pricier than the other. Bloomberg gave Johnson a Big Apple crystal...
10: "She can still win this thing if you vote for her big enough." - Bill Clinton, who may need to take some courses in "fuzzy math" after all.
9: "It's amazing how you can spin almost any story... Anything can be spun to make them look good. I'm no stranger to this spin game myself." - FOX News' Neil Cavuto in a piece on Wednesday aptly entitled "keep expectations low."

Hoping to score some foreign policy points before his presidency ends, Pres. Bush is off on a five-day romp of the Middle East beginning Tues., in order to strike a deal for the contours of a Palestinian state. The trip, which is centered around the 60th anniversary of Israel’s founding, has many Mideast leaders scratching their heads, asking: "Why now?" From the NYT:

From MSNBC's First Read, a reporter's first person account of playing Taboo with Obama and his staff. It's pretty amusing, and reveals a more human side behind all media coverage. It also reveals a bit more about Obama. First Read:

Can I just say that?
There's a lot of outrage out there - Rod Parsley is a spiritual backer of John McCain and he says all manner of awful, hate-filled, racist things against Islam. And John McCain is happy to have his backing, just like he was happy to get the support of the Rev. John Hagee...and the press and the public don't care because these men aren't black.
