    Pleasure Reading

    Remember John Bolton? The neocon installed at the State Department to keep Colin Powell under control and then later given a recess appointment to be US Ambassador. I could give you a list of particulars but suffice it to say that Bolton was a key factor in basically all the Bush White House's most disastrous decisions and he's still got the Iran war coming up. Now he's back on the airwaves with a new book and the ear of a certain Republican presidential candidate who's running on his...

    Sunday Show Roundup: Weekend at Bernie's

    Bernard Kerik - former New York City Police Commissioner, Secretary of Homeland Security nominee, and close personal friend of Rudy Giuliani - was formally indicted Friday on a slew of federal corruption charges. With the legal proceedings set to unfold concurrently with the presidential campaign, and with the issue seeming to penetrate the core of Giuliani's "judgment" and "national security" campaign theme, just how badly does Bernie hurt Rudy?

    Rudy's New Pal

    Rudy's outraged that Ron Paul says US foreign policy caused 9/11; but he's fine with Pat Robertson who chalks it up to gays and women who get abortions. We bring you the details in today's episode of TPMtv.

    RNC Debate flashback:  Ron Paul presents his once again  not-so-far-fetched ideas about foreign policy and Giuliani eschews any form of responsibility.  Of course, he's ready and willing to blame the Dems: “If any Republican is elected president —- and I think obviously I would be the best at this —- we will remain on offense and will anticipate what [the terrorists] will do and try to stop them before they do it,” Giuliani said.  Addendum:  " “If we are on defense [with a Democratic...

    I Believe I Can Fly

    So far Rudy Giuliani has told us he was a 9/11 recovery worker, an expert on torture and 'enhanced interrogation' techniques from his days as US Attorney and now commander-in-chief of New York City. In today's episode of TPMtv, we ask the question ... Rudy Giuliani, Grade School Fibber or World Class Megalomaniac? You watch, decide and send us your answers, which we'll read on the show next week ... (and yes, option three, "both" is available.)

    How to Bring America Together or, The Idiocy of National Unity  [HuffPo]     Dear Presidential Candidates:   The men and women of the media are not your friends.   They work for a big business, whose oxygen is attention. They live or die on grabbing and holding audiences. To stay in business, they need combat, conflict, heat, meat, flip-flops, gotchas, losers, boozers, hairpin turns, heroes with feet of clay, Rockys, Quixotes, cliffhangers, firewalkers, comebacks, kickbacks, zingers, 'wingers.  And...

    Rudy a Lefty?  Yeah, Right.  [WaPo]    It starts out like this: "If you like President Bush, you'll love a President Giuliani."  And it's worth reading on - namely because half the people I know who have spent the last eight years viciously complaining have actually said they wouldn't mind a President Giuliani.  As a New Yorker, the whole idea of it makes me shiver.  And this strange split is just what David Greenberg picked up on.  "You wouldn't know it from reading the papers, but the favorite to...

    POSTED BY RALEIGH-ELIZABETH SMITH, OCTOBER 24 2007 03:49 PM | PERMALINK

    In light of last weekend's Values Voters Summit, we think it's a good idea to dig a little further into what is going on in the breeding ground of the average Christian Conservative - typically a white, southern, Republican voter. So we went straight to the source - Prof. Natalie Davis, professor of political science at Birmingham-Southern College in Birmingham, Alabama. Prof. Davis is well-versed in Southern politics and is a public opinion expert, and she can explain to us exactly what's...
