—— Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) gave a speech on May 18th at a Commentary magazine dinner in which he talked about what has happened to his former party that was once strong on national security. In it, he praised both President Bush and John McCain, while criticizing Barack Obama’s position on unconditional direct talks, three things which will make him even more traitorous than ever in the eyes of the hardcore left. He also tried to paint Al Gore as hawkish, which is a complete fantasy, but considering how right-on he’s been about most other issues related to the GWOT, I can let that one slide.
—— Sam Stein at the Huffington Post writes a piece today noting how Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) repeatedly dissed McCain on the foreign policy front while praising Barack Obama, as well as bringing up the possibility of impeaching Bush, in a speech he gave Tuesday night “at the residence of the Italian ambassador.” How much do you wanna bet Hagel will be asked by Obama to give a speech at the Democrat National Convention?
—— Senator Ted Kennedy, diagnosed this week with a cancerous brain tumor, returned home today. No word on when - or if - he will return to the Senate.
—— Marc Ambinder reports that a journalist and former editor for National Journal is joining Barack Obama’s campaign in a senior capacity as both a strategist and campaign spokesman. Now isn’t that shocking? She’ll be getting paid to do what many other journalists do for free.
—— Speaking of: “I think most of the press people are in Obama’s demographic. … There have been times when I thought I was literally lost in a fun house.” - Bill Clinton, in a recent interview with People magazine.
—— In light of last night’s exit polls out of Oregon, which show Barack Obama winning the working class white vote, the left is busily trying to figure out whether or not Barry O. has a working class white voter problem or an Appalachia voter problem. One blog even noted that the CNN pundit team, which includes the wishy washy David Gergen, called on Hillary Clinton to “denounce the racist vote.” Didn’t see anything about a discussion whether or not Obama should denounce the “racist black vote” he’s been getting …
—— The narrative is starting: Brad Wilmouth at Newsbusters reports that NBC’s Andrea Mitchell is already helping the Dems advance the idea that Republicans will try to “steal” the presidential election this year. Credit Chris Matthews, along with Clintonista Lisa Caputo, for giving her a couple of assists.

Hagel’s a lowlife, he’ll be very comfortable within the rank and file of the democrats.

Special Report with Brit Hume
That’s right, boys and girls, those geniuses at the U.N. have decided to focus their energy on racism in America. Meanwhile, packs of roaming thugs are murdering immigrants in South Africa. They are all but ignoring Iraq’s needs. Not to mention all the other parts of the world where people are truly being oppressed and even murdered. The U.N. is going to save us all from the evil U.S.
Way to go boys, those millions of dollars we’re giving you are really paying off!!!

A little dated, but still worth a comment: Here’s Obama preaching to the congregation of the First Church of Global Warming and Discount Carbon Credits Outlet:
So…an Obama adminstration doesn’t think we should be able to keep our SUVs, or have that dessert, or keep our homes warm all winter.
There’s a response to that…a phrase I’ve heard somewhere in the political context this year…yeah, now I remember:
YES WE CAN!!!
Of course, I’m sure he doesn’t mean all of us. I’m sure somehow John Kerry will be able to keep his fleet of SUVs, and Michael Moore will be able to eat all he wants (for which the farmers are eternally grateful), and the Goracle will continue to eat up energy at home at more than 20 times the average rate.
But he’s not an elitist. Riiiiight…
