Armstrong Williams Is An Idiot

How do you call yourself a conservative and vote for Barack Obama? Easy, if you're narcissistic phony like Armstrong Williams:

WASHINGTON -- Black conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams has never voted for a Democrat for president. That could change this year with Barack Obama as the Democratic Party's nominee.

"I don't necessarily like his policies; I don't like much that he advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it," Williams said. "I can honestly say I have no idea who I'm going to pull that lever for in November. And to me, that's incredible."

Just as Obama has touched black Democratic voters, he has engendered conflicting emotions among black Republicans. They revel over the possibility of a black president but wrestle with the thought that Obama doesn't sit beside them ideologically.

"Among black conservatives," Williams said, "they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote against him in November."

This is just dumb, yet Williams was never really known for being too bright. And if Armstrong wants anyone to believe that his little guessing game isn't just a cop-out because he's gonna ignore all his principles and vote for Barack because he's black, somebody needs to slap him.

Expect Only Liberal Justices If Barack Obama Wins Presidency

Barack's almost 100% liberal standing as Senator speaks for itself, if given the chance he WILL elect judges to the courts who represent HIS views. And this past week SCOTUS reminded us that when it comes to the law, liberals care much more about the needs of criminals than they do the victims:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) today decried Thursday's Supreme Court ruling granting foreign terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay the right to challenge their detention in civilian courts, which he called "one of the worst decisions in the history of this country."

McCain -- who has long maintained the federal government should close Guantanamo Bay detention center -- said Congress made a distinction between those imprisoned there and U.S. civilians in the law he helped write, the Military Commissions Act of 2006.

"We made it very clear these are enemy combatants," he said. "They have not, and never have been, given the rights of citizens of this country." The crowd of more than 1,000 supporters, packed into a gym at Burlington County College, exploded into applause at McCain's comments.

Indeed, SCOTUS' 5-4 decision giving terrorists and their helpers some rights in U.S. civil courts puts the glare back on national security. Advantage: John McCain.

Tim Russert Rest In Peace

CNN:

Tim Russert, who became one of America's leading political journalists as the host of NBC's "Meet the Press," died Friday, according to the network. He was 58.

He collapsed and died at work, according to the network. He had just returned from a family vacation in Italy to celebrate the graduation of his son, Luke, from Boston College.

Russert joined the network in 1984 and quickly established himself as the face of the network's political coverage.

A devastating loss for the political landscape. You didn't have to like Russert, but you can't deny that he was one of the best journalists in the game.

Ron Paul Quits The Presidential Race

CNN:

Texas Rep. Ron Paul announced Thursday he is suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination to focus his time on building an organization to help recruit and elect “limited government Republicans.”

“We want to elect constitutionalists, limited government Republicans across the country at the state and federal level,” said Paul spokesman Jesse Benton.

The congressman will speak about his political plans at the Texas Republican State Convention being held in Houston. Late Thursday afternoon, Paul launched a Web site for his new organization where he explained the decision to suspend his presidential campaign and form “Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty.”

“With the primary season now over, the presidential campaign is at an end,” Paul said in the letter. “But the larger campaign for freedom is just getting started.”

This can't be good news to some of those on the far-Left who were hoping that Paul would stay in the race till November and take away votes from John McCain (ala Ralph Nader in '00 when he played a bit factor in Bush vs. Gore). And while Paul's grassroots following is pretty loyal, but my gut feeling is that since most of them share Paul's pro-life views, they'll eventually get over their overseer's resignation and hop on board the Straight-Talk Express.

FOX News, Michelle Malkin Go "Baby Mama" On Michelle Obama

I've said it before, by making herself a surrogate to her husband's campaign and with the possibility that she may be First Lady one day, Michelle Obama has made herself fair game for constructive crititism on the campaign trail. But referring to her as a "baby mama", a popular, but condescending, urban term for (usually) young women who have kids out of wedlock, is just plain dumb and ignorant:

An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something he'd spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as "Obama's baby mama."

I checked, and sure enough, as you can see below, our e-mailer was right. In fact, that description was displayed on screen several times during the segment, which featured anchor Megyn Kelly and conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, an FNC contributor.

A clip of the segment in its entirety is below. You may notice that at one point, Malkin says, "By the way, it's not just Republicans who are criticizing some of her comments, but also statements have been made in the left-leaning blog Salon about her comments." I've searched the site, and I can't find anything like what Malkin is talking about. I've e-mailed Malkin asking for clarification -- if and when she responds, I'll update this post.

Mind you this is the same Michelle Malkin, a wife and mother, who works from home while taking care of her kids along with her husband. The same political pundit who gets upset with radical feminism's hostile views towards housewives and mothers. Michelle Obama is a wife, mother and a Harvard Law School graduate--you don't have to like her, but give her the proper respect. FOX News and Malkin have really opened up a can of worms with this one and they deserve all the hits they're going to get for their sheer and utter stupidity.

Rodney King To Appear On "Celebrity Rehab"

Amazing:

Can they all just get sober?

Rodney King will appear in the next installment of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," which features famous people dealing with drug and alcohol problems aided by celebrity addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky, the network announced Tuesday.

King, whose 1991 beating by Los Angeles police led to deadly rioting the next year, prompting him to make a famously earnest plea for peace, will appear on the show with "Grease" star Jeff Conaway, former Guns 'N Roses drummer Steven Adler, Rod Stewart's son Sean, and actress Tawny Kitaen.

The network did not specify what substance problem King would be seeking treatment for.

Democrat Dan Boren Calls Barack 'Too Liberal', Won't Endorse Him

Barack Obama not only has to worry about the GOP tactics, John McCain and angry Hillary supporters if he wants to be elected President come November, but also apparently the ramifications of his extremely liberal record, which is being called out by of all people, a fellow Democrat:

Democratic Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma said Tuesday Barack Obama is "the most liberal senator" in Congress and he has no intention of endorsing him for the White House.

However, Boren will vote for Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August and will vote Democratic on Nov. 4.

"I think this is an important time for our country," Boren said in a telephone interview. "We're facing a terrible economic downturn. We have high gasoline prices. We have problems in our foreign policy. That's why I think it's important."

Boren, the lone Democrat in Oklahoma's congressional delegate, said that while Obama has talked about working with Republicans, "unfortunately, his record does not reflect working in a bipartisan fashion."

Let's face it when you have a record drenched in solely supporting liberal propaganda as Barack does, you're bound to be called on it. You just don't expect it from fellow party members. Yet, the fact of the matter is liberals are ones who screamed for years that President Bush was only interested in the needs of his base before the Democrats took over Congress in 2006. Yet, using their own argument, what does it say about a man who wants to be President, that he has never shown any interest in bipartisanship throughout his years in the Senate? The McCain camp would do well to exploit this matter, a concern that gains serious traction what with the endorsement of a Democrat.

Dennis Kucinich Has Bush Derangement Syndrome

We're at war, the economy's a wreck, big election coming up and all a nutso liberal politician has on his brain is impeaching President Bush:

Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich took to the House of Representatives floor on Monday evening to introduce a 35-count resolution to impeach President George W. Bush.

Kucinich claimed Bush “fraudulently” justified the war on Iraq and misled “the American people and members of Congress to believe Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction so as to manufacture a false case for war.”

“President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office,” Kucinich said.

Kucinich said in January that he planned to launch an impeachment effort against Bush, but delayed his effort after meeting with members of the House Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Commitee hasn’t acted on a bid Kucinich launched last year to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney.

Bush has 6 months left in office and this idiot wants to pursue impeachment for alleged crimes that were substantiated by intelligence community estimates, in other words findings that the entire lot in Congress were able to see as well and therefore, approve the war. Leave it to a prick like Kucinich to let Left-fueled hate for Bush override the facts.

Barack Obama Is A Hypocrite On Housing

Newsmax.com:

Republicans launched a scathing attack on Barack Obama Monday for alleged hypocrisy after the Democratic White House contender took on John McCain over the US housing crisis.

McCain's campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) fastened on a Wall Street Journal report that said Jim Johnson, the mortgage executive leading Obama's vice presidential hunt, had received preferential home loans.

Following an Obama speech that ripped into McCain's economic platform, the Republican's chief economic adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin said the reported loans to Johnson from Countrywide Financial raised troubling questions.

"And I thought it was remarkable that Senator Obama could talk about housing, talk about ethics, and fail to mention that he entrusted the single most important decision in his campaign, the choice of the vice presidential running mate, to a gentlemen, Mr. Johnson, who benefited from preferential lending at Countrywide and state financial payouts," he told reporters.

Johnson is a former chief executive of government-chartered mortgage provider Fannie Mae, and is leading a three-member team investigating possible VP candidates for Obama.

Mr. Pot meet Mr. Kettle.

Well, when you've gotten by this far by plagiarizing other people's ideas, you're bound to make mistakes when you don't have your cliff notes in front of you:

Gateway Pundit has more on the Apostle's major gaffes of late. And yeah, for all the grief liberals have given President Bush on his lack of oratory skills over the years, calling out Senator Obama's gaffes count as fair game.
