Political bits

CNN has a video bit highlighting how the major Republican candidates are being caught up by old videos of themselves on youtube.

(Maybe, just maybe, the problem isn't Youtube, but instead, you know, the fact that McCain, Romney, and Giuliani have completely reversed themselves and their positions in an effort to kowtow to the crazy right that now runs their party. Maybe? Maybe?)

(WaPo) The Minutemen border group "is embroiled in a nasty legal fight over accusations of financial improprieties" by its founder. (Why do all these major right wing groups collapse under a corrupt founder? Promisekeepers, Moral Majority....)

Sen. Tim Johnson's website has pictures from his recovery.

(Politico) 39 Republican House members vote with the Democrats more than 60% of the time.

(CNN) "Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the alleged "Washington Madam," has reached an agreement with a media organization to turn over company records from her now-defunct escort service, her civil defense attorney said Tuesday." (No word on which "media organization," but that may matter. Imagine if Drudge bought it.)

And, (CNN) Dennis Miller endorses Giuliani. (Are you surprised? I don't think there was anyone in America who became more unhinged by 9-11 than Dennis Miller, so an endorsement for Giuliani seems a natural. (and what's Dennis Miller really worth these days?))

  • "Dennis Miller endorses Giuliani."

    Who? I wonder who's courting Arsenio Hall and Joe Piscopo? Now THAT would be sweet!

  • There was a time when he had an audience. It was a time when he questioned all authority as that smartass newscaster on SNL.

    Then, 9-11, and the dude wigged out and went compltely authoritarian.

    And, I guess not too surprisingly, there's not much demand for an authoritarian comic.

  • I don't think it will matter which media organization gets the records, they'll now get out. I also noted Dennis Miller became more authoritarian after his syndicated show failed because it was mismanaged by the producers and distributors. The quasi-destruction of a very promising career could make one very angry at "liberal" Hollywood!

  • They didn't make him say, "we should all line up behind the president" off the show.
