No, McCain, You ALREADY Fired the FEC Chair
Did McCain just screw up the acronyms FEC and SEC because, when he thinks of corrupt cover-ups for rash behavior, he thinks of his own attempts to game the campaign finance system?
The Picture McCain Doesn't Want You to See
Remember this great post bmaz did last week? Remember this really damning picture of McCain celebrating his birthday with Charles Keating, the villain of the last big taxpayer bailout of unrestrained Republican greed? Here's the article where bmaz got that photo.
Apparently, that's a picture and an article that have been all-but buried, until bmaz got a hold of it.
I guess McCain didn't want any proof out that there he's
The First Dude Refuses to Testify
The former mob and terrorism prosecutor in charge of the TrooperGate cover-up, Ed O'Callaghan, has upped the ante. The McPalin campaign announced yesterday that Todd Palin will not respond to the legislature's subpoena. It appears that the McPalin campaign did the math, and figured they could avoid any penalties for this contemptuous behavior by suddenly getting cooperative after the elections.Todd, along with other witnesses, can stall without penalty for months, pushing
The Sarah Palin Show Cancels Its West Coast Tour
Sure enough, my prediction that the McPalin campaign was going to have to commit to one third the campaign events to make sure the celebrity on the ticket draws the crowds appears to be playing out.
McCain's Still Fighting the Mexican Revolution
I think McCain's gaffe--in which he confused Mexico and Spain--can be traced to the Mexican Revolution.
What You and I Bought Sarah Palin
David Talbot reveals that Sarah Palin illegally redecorated Wasilla's mayoral office in tacky wallpaper. But I'm more concerned about the counter-productive emergency dispatch center she got you and I to buy for Wasilla.
TrooperGate: Count the Conflicts of Interest
Boy, in addition to putting a terrorism prosecutor in charge of protecting Sarah Palin, the McPalin team is playing serious musical chairs with the legal representation surrounding the case.
More on the TrooperGate Cover-Up
Some outsiders have swooped into Alaska and told them their bipartisan investigation into Sarah Palin's abuse of power is tainted. Sort of makes me wonder who those outsiders are.
FBI Still Using Shiny Objects to Distract from Their Flimsy Anthrax Case
The FBI wants you to goggle over their new genetic investigative techniques so you don't look too closely at the rest of their case.
Robert Mueller Visits Senate Judiciary Committee
Robert Mueller appears before SJC for an oversight hearing.
McCain Campaign Ad: Wanted, Economic Surrogate
It's a true sign of the dire state of our economy that a Republican candidate for President is running out of acceptable surrogates to talk on the economy.
Michigan Dems and the Obama Campaign Sue for Foreclosure-Related Vote-Caging
The MDP and Obama campaign are suing the GOP over their plans to conduct vote-caging based on lists of homes in foreclosure.
Sarah Palin's Evolving Excuses for Firing Walt Monegan
More and more, the McPalin campaign's attempts to cover-up the Monegan firing remind me of the US Attorney purge.
Robert Mueller Visits House Judiciary Committee
On CSPAN3 and via the Committee website (though the latter didn't work for me).
The two big issues will be the new guidelines for FBI investigations--which may allow racial profile--as well as the laugable case the FBI made that Bruce Ivins was the sole killer in the anthrax attack.
In an opening stated, Jerrold Nadler revealed that the FBI would not give staffers on HJC the new guidelines--they were able to see
A Republican from Wasilla
The McCain campaign claims the investigation into Sarah Palin's abuse of power is tainted. Tainted? With a Republican from Palin's home town casting the decisive vote to issue subpoenas?
Will the McPalin Campaign Ask Carly Fiorina to Give Her $42 Million Back?
John McCain promises he'll stop CEOs who have broken the public trust from getting golden parachutes. Seems to me he can start that policy right at home with his campaign--with Carly Fiorina, who got $42 million dollars to walk away from HP. Will he ask her to give that money back?
John McCain Still Living The Keating Five Lush Highlife
/
bmazJohn McCain was never the principled steadfast man his false front public image painted him to be; although it is true that he really has been in a downward spiral of dishonor and deception during this year's campaign. Even many of his staunchest supporters in major media are starting to realize the brutal truth for what it is. The story of John McCain's 70th birthday bash in the exotic waters of Montenegro with lobbyists and con men should serve to remind them them the John McCain that was Charlie Keating's political leverage boy in Congress is the same exact John McCain under the thumb of lobbyists and political influence peddlers today.
The Fundamentals of the Economy Are Strong?!?!? A New Twist McCain and "Psychology"
Remember earlier this year when McCain was claiming our economic problems were just psychological? Given his statement today, I'm worried for McCain's psychological health.
John McCain and Sarah Palin Wallowing in Oil
Apparently, the McCain campaign has a new lie: the Alaska provides 20% of our nation's energy. That would only be true if we only relied on oil and gas.
Bruce Ivins Rips the FBI's Anthrax Case to Shreds in His Will
Bruce Ivins, in his will, provides pretty clear proof the FBI's case against him is full of holes.
