While the rest of you were watching the former mayor of New York, squiring his third wife, mocking the Democratic nominee for president as “cosmopolitan,” Detroiters were waiting to see if their mayor was going to jail now or later. Kwame Kilpatrick’s plea deal , being crafted in the wake of a quasi-impeachment hearing yesterday, was on, then off, then on, and then it rained and everybody went home. Today it’s most likely on; no one expects K2 to be mayor at the end of the day. Every picture of him taken recently shows him in another of his fine suits, steepling his hands against his mouth and scowling.
The sticking point is jail time. He’s facing 10 felony counts, and the prosecutor wants him to do at least a few months behind bars. The people of Detroit, meanwhile, prove eminently quotable : “The mayor shouldn’t go out like a punk.” “He’s an empty suit and the next suit he’s going to wear is a pinstripe suit.R...

As you know, it’s incredibly rare that I crib someone else’s published piece wholesale and reprint it here. It has to be something I wish I’d written myself, something that makes a point I think needs to be heard far and wide, or both. Kathleen Parker -- the conservative columnist who may have provided the Cronkite-saying-Vietnam-can’t-be-won moment during the election when she admitted that Sarah Palin was unqualified to be vice president -- is once again taking a ballsy... more

Let my Palin go From: corner.nationalreview.com Post Date: 2008-09-28 09:56:56
I agree with you, Mona, and Kathryn and Bill. The Palin nomination has generated the only real enthusiasm on the Republican side and keeping her under wraps until she can mouth the appropriately nuanced platitudes isn't worth it. There's nothing to be gained by taking Miss Authenticity and turning her into a Foggy Bottom bore. Plus a gazillion interviews a day with WZZZ-AM Presque Isle, Maine would lessen the Elimination Round stakes attached to the once-a-month highwire acts with Couric... more
As Senator Biden prepares to face off against Governor Palin on Thursday night in the campaign’s lone vice presidential debate, Democratic strategists have a few words of advice for the lawmaker of Delaware: Ignore the Alaskan. Mr. Biden’s 35 years in the Senate dwarf Ms. Palin’s single month of experience on the national stage, but Democrats are worried that his penchant for verbal missteps and his occasionally aggressive style could be a liability as he faces only the second ... more
I have been under-whelmed thus far with Governor Palin’s interviews. Team McCain really needs to let her loose. We have seen that she can handle herself in debates. There is plenty of proof on you tube. What we need to see is that same fire and grasp of facts on the trail. Not ever press event will be a pep rally, it is now time to prove that the choice has merit, you were given the benefit of the doubt by the conservatives.
The total failure of the Couric interview is forgiv... more
This was a shot from the weather radar yesterday. Pink = freezing rain. Freezing rain is the worst winter weather — it just sucks. Trees fall down, wires fall down, your furnace goes out, you wreck your car or, at the very least, you have to spend half an hour chipping ice off the windshield before you can drive down the road at 2 miles per hour.
I guess it will be Hillary Clinton’s favorite weather forever.
As you can see, we got a bit of weather ourselves, so we’re... more

If awards were given for press releases — and surely, there must be some — the one announcing the closing of the Lincoln Museum in Fort Wayne has to be a nominee for something. Best Weaseling, maybe. For starters, there’s the headline:
Lincoln Financial Foundation to Make Its Lincoln Museum Collection More Accessible and Visible
Then there’s the lead:
Lincoln Financial Foundation, the charitable giving arm of Lincoln Financial Group, announced today it will take ... more
Good career move. From: nancynall.com Post Date: 2008-03-06 08:43:42
I swore I wouldn’t write another word about Tim Goeglein unless someone paid me for it, but this is too good not to note. Be not afraid, all is forgiven :
At the weekly meeting of center-right leaders at American for Tax Reform on Wednesday morning, he received three rounds of applause from the packed room, including one standing ovation, as he asked for their forgiveness.
I just knew he’d land on his feet. K Street, here he comes. A happy ending for everyone. ... more
Patrick Swayze has terminal cancer, you say? I will take a moment to remember the man before he leaves. For a while, I was a student of his personal catalogue, and what a time it was.
My friend Ron French and I had a ritual in the late ’80s and early ’90s: We’d choose the worst movie in town, pick an off-peak screening and go to throw popcorn and trade snark from the audience. We tried to sit in a place where we wouldn’t disturb others, but we weren’t always su... more
