Double Standard, W vs. BHO

By Robert Farrow

If George W. Bush were such an idiot . . . .
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is [...]

INFLATION LOOMS: O’S DEFICIT DILEMMA

By Robert Farrow

By Dick Morris
It’s increasingly looking like President Obama may be sunk by his own deficit.
Yes, the recession started under George W. Bush — and voters will still blame him for unemployment and related woes. But rising interest rates and inflation are the coming fears — and Americans will increasingly see Obama’s big-spending ways as the [...]

Will RNC Punish Arlen Specter?

By Cato

Yet more evidence that former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele is in way over his head as RNC Chairman.
It’s foolish to publicly discuss “retribution” against Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), or anyone else.  President George W. Bush was wrong using the RNC to back incumbents like Specter and former Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) in primary challenges.  [...]

There They Go Again

By Mark Newgent (noreply@blogger.com)


What is it with the Laslo Boyds and Barry Rascovars of the Maryland political scene? Why is it that they continually engage in straw man arguments then gleefully exalt around the pyre like the pagan women from The Wicker Man? Seriously, is it too much to ask for these two supposed political experts to actually understand the definitions of the terms they are using?

Last week it was Boyd, this week it is Rascovar in a Gazette column about Bob Ehrlich. I’m not going to argue the obvious fact of the mountain sized hurdle Maryland Republicans face in this state. It was there during Ehrlich’s term and will be there for some time to come.

Obama’s Mini-Me: E.J. Dionne, a Once Must-Read Columnist

By Vatz (noreply@blogger.com)

-- Richard E. Vatz

In the ignominious history of politicians who used regular newspaper columnists as mouthpieces, sometimes in return for access, now comes Barack Obama and E.J. Dionne, Obama’s Mini-Me. Other presidents have had similar arrangements, including Walter Winchell and, in perhaps his only near scandal, columnist George F. Will was accused of covertly priming presidential candidate Ronald Reagan for a debate which he (Will) then evaluated without explicitly mentioning his role as debate aide. In the ensuing years Will has never had a hint of such questionable ethics. (On the other side, we have had official mouthpieces who became traitors after leaving their positions, such as Scott McClellan, former press secretary to George W.

Gilchrest: 'I voted for Martin O'Malley'

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

ANNAPOLIS -- U.S. Rep. Wayne Gilchrest (R-Kennedyville), who has been notorious for reaching across the aisle in recent months, has done more than just endorse and praise Democratic candidates - he's voted for one.

"I voted for Martin O'Malley," Gilchrest said of Maryland's Democratic governor at an award ceremony at the Westin Hotel on Monday.

EASTON -- Republican Anne Kimberly hosted her first fundraiser for a Democrat on Friday. It was for Congressional candidate Frank Kratovil (D-Stevensville).

Kimberly's first husband was former U.S. Rep. Rogers Morton (R-Talbot County), who represented Maryland's 1st Congressional District in the 1960s and early 1970s.

She said Kratovil's stump speech "was very nice" and free of sound bites.

Web ad: Gaztanaga ties Ruppersberger to Bush

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

In a new web video, Libertarian candidate Lorenzo Gaztanaga is attacking U.S. Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger's (D-Baltimore) vote in favor of Monday's controversial bailout plan.

"Dutch Ruppersberger supported George Bush's war in Iraq, supported George Bush's Patriot Act. Now, Dutch Ruppersberger voted for George Bush's bailouts," says a narrator in the Gaztanaga video. "Don't we want a representative in office that thinks?"
