In Fox Debut, Sarah Palin Calls 'Game Change' Charges 'Crap'
By David Sessions - Politics DailyIn her first night as a paid contributor to the Fox News Channel, Sarah Palin spent most of her air time discussing "Game Change," a controversial new book by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin that casts many politicians, including Palin, in a bad light. But Palin partially confirmed one story in the book: that when she became John McCain's running mate, she thought the 9/11 hijackers might have had connections to Iraq. ...
Year One In Washington a 'B-Plus,' Obama Says
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Dec. 14) -- President Barack Obama says he'll know by the end of 2010 if his Afghan strategy is working, and he pledges to change direction if the U.S. military is not on course "in terms of securing population centers" from Taliban militants. The president also says his Dec. 1 speech ordering 30,000 more American soldiers and Marines into the 8-year-old war "hit me in the gut" emotionally more than any he had given. Obama made his comments on "60 Minutes" Sunday night, as two networks broadcast interviews with the president. Obama also appeared on a Christmas special with ...

Spiderman Sells Out (Even Investigative Reporters Gotta Eat)
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyFor about six years in the 1990s, I was a segment producer at ABC news magazine PrimeTime Live. With a huge budget and tons of talented camera persons, tape editors and steel-minded senior producers, I collaborated on correspondent-centered mini-documentaries about Medicare fraud, cell phone dead zones and 5th grade boys who set off their elementary school fire alarm and then ambush their classmates filing obediently onto the play yard (exclusive home video of 11-year-old killer!). It was insanely hard work. There were a relatively small number of people in the world who did my job at ABC, ...
Obama's 60 Minutes Interview a Laugh Fest
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyPresident Barack Obama's interview on 60 Minutes last night was characterized by the president's bizarre behavior while discussing the trials and travails of the U.S. economy.

(13:34) Obama explained his jokes at the economy's troubles ...
A New Low for Hillary Clinton
By David Knowles - Politics DailyInterviewed on "60 MInutes," Hillary Clinton gave the nation a glimpse of her win-at-all-costs mentality. Confronted over whether or not she believed Barack Obama was actually a Muslim, she couldn't give a simple, firm answer and let it stand at that. Croft: You don't believe that Senator Obama is a Muslim?Clinton: Of course not. I mean that's, you know, there is no basis for that. You know I take him on the basis of what he said. There isn't any reason to doubt that.Croft sensed a bit of hedging in the answer, and reshaped the question.Croft: You said you take Senator Obama at his word that ...
