Dragging out the kiddie human shields again.

Spine-chilling anticipation.

It creeps! It eats you alive!

Schumer smears again.

Failure.

Democrats play the religion card.

Sweaty and soggy. Update: Hardball question from Olby for Obama: “Would you honor Barry Bonds at the White House?”

“Most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history.” Snort.

The Dems’ no-confidence vote seeking to oust AG Alberto Gonzales just failed, 53-38 in the Senate. Is it cause for celebration? Hardly. This whole debacle was one of Bush administration incompetence and Washington/MSM hypocrisy, as Andy McCarthy pointed out. Now you can add a layer of Democrat impotence to the story line.

Nancy Pelosi, Ruler of the Clean House, has a bit of a headache on her hands in the wake of the William Jefferson indictment. WaPo reports:
Democratic leaders fear that Rep. William J. Jefferson’s indictment yesterday on racketeering and bribery charges, coming exactly one year after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi engineered his ouster from the powerful [...]

Boo-hoo. Maybe boycotting Fox News wasn’t such a brilliant idea, after all.

Quick, hand them their white flags!
I missed the Dems’ debate tonight, but it doesn’t seem like there was much to miss.
The biggest action apparently took place offstage, where unhinged lib columnist Eric Alterman was arrested and charged with criminal trespassing after refusing repeated police requests to leave the debate spin room.
Yawn.
Go to HA [...]

Pagones v. Maddux, Mason and Sharpton - Tawana Brawley Grand Jury Report

Last week, I noted how willing media have propped up race hustler Al Sharpton. There’s one other powerful institution that continues to serve as a Sharpton enabler: the Democrat Party.
Every major presidential candidate is scheduled to pay homage at Sharpton’s annual National Action Network convention this week–beginning with John Edwards and climaxing with Barack Obama:
Civil [...]

A tipster sent this fascinating video from left-wing, anti-war group Occupation Project, which interviewed Appropriations Chairman Democrat David Obey in a hallway and grilled him about the war funding bill.
I’ll have a transcript up shortly. Rep. Obey works up a steam castigating “idiot liberals” who want Democrats to vote against funding.
He fumes: “I’m the [...]

An update to my blog post yesterday about the DNC’s tribute to American troops that featured a Canadian soldier. The foreign soldier has been replaced (hat tip - Mark):

At least it’s the right flag.
(Good thing the webmaster made sure this one didn’t slip through:)

***10/8 update: DNC changes its site***
A military guy e-mails a weekend website blooper:
Thought you might be interested in posting this. The DNC website has a page called Veterans and Military Families where they purpo[r]t to care about the welfare of US troops. Unfortunately they couldn’t even find a picture of a US soldier [...]

Taking the cue from the Democrats’ Finger-Jabber-In-Chief. Barbara Boxer gets all Clinton on Fox News with the always gracious Jane Skinner.
And then there was that execrable MSNBC pig daring to call Chris Wallace a “monkey.”
Fox’s 10th anniversary is just around the corner, so look for more of this churlish behavior from Dems as we get [...]

Two weeks ago, I wrote about the selective outrage of the left’s privacy hypocrites–led by the likes of NY Dem Sen. Charles Schumer, the privacy champion who has yet to apologize to Maryland GOP Lt. Gov. Michael Steele over his stolen credit report (pilfered by two of Schumer’s former Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee staffers currently [...]

My latest column on the Democratic dumpster diving campaign by two of Sen. Chuck Schumer’s former opposition research staffers, who abused Maryland GOP Lt. Gov. Michael Steele’s Social Security number to obtain his private credit report, is up. (Thanks to Hugh Hewitt for coining the scandal name.) Excerpt:
Law enforcement officials are taking this criminal intrusion [...]

Hugh Hewitt:
A day after Senator Uriah Reid (D-Nev) brands the president a “loser” and then apologizes, a week after Senator Ken Salazar (D-Colo) labels Focus on the Family as the anti-Christ and then apologizes, and a month after Senator Robert Byrd (D-WVA) brands the Senate GOP as Hitler’s heirs, Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) appeals to [...]

File this under Party of Tolerance follies: A Democrat candidate for governor in Virginia is apparently mocking how people in his state talk.
Virginia blogger John Behan writes…
I think these attacks are blatantly prejudiced and clearly elitist. Kaine should be ashamed.
For what it’s worth, however, if Kaine apologizes, I promise never to make fun of his [...]

Go read Tom Bevan at Real Clear Politics on one nation, under therapy. Excellent diagnosis.

The Washington Times reports:
Stephanie Tubbs Jones, an Ohio Democrat who sits on the House ethics committee, took a 2001 trip to Puerto Rico that was paid for by a registered lobbyist firm — an apparent violation of the chamber’s ethics rules — according to documents that she filed with the House clerk.
A spokeswoman for Mrs. [...]

From the Seattle Times:
The Washington Democratic Party may face thousands of dollars in fines for failing to file timely reports for the 2004 election. In addition to those fines, the party could be required to repay a $100,000 fine that was suspended in 2003 as long as the Democrats didn’t have any serious campaign-finance infractions [...]

California’s Democratic Secretary of State, Kevin Shelley, finally resigned yesterday amid a stinking heap of a scandal involving cronyism, corruption, campaign finance abuse, and voter fraud.
In a typical non-apology apology, Shelley argued that he had done nothing wrong “in the eyes of the law,” but admitted it could be months or even years before federal, [...]

This is not a satire.

Well, I see Sen. Robert “Kleagle” Byrd has a book coming out later this month, and the reviewers are already lavishing praise on the old pork-monger. Publisher’s Weekly writes: “This volume is a searing criticism, informed by Byrd’s knowledge of history, leavened with his vast experience and written with his legendary rhetorical flourish.” Amazon.com reviewer [...]

Column’s up: Just your average Democrat donors
Excerpt:
So, let us hail the diversity of everyday Democrat donors: The pardon-pushing socialite. The Communist-coddling corporate sellout. The reckless Asian-American rainmaker. And the nicotine-stained heiress/almost-felon who keeps on giving.
It’s a bankroll that looks like America. Really.
FYI: The full list of DNC “patriots” is here. The full list of [...]
