Why Did Bill Clinton Call Sarah Palin?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThat's the question raised by The Daily Beast, who noticed this paragraph hiding out in a New York Times article about Greta Van Susteren:On one occasion, Ms. Palin asked (Greta Van Susteren husband John) Coale to check the veracity of a phone call from former President Bill Clinton's office.

Sure, we all know about the Boston Tea Party, which seems pretty badass when you see those old-timey lithographs of ax-wielding colonials having at those crates of leafy goodness.As a rallying cry, though, "Let's have a tea party!" lacks a ...
Obama and Me: Our First Time - Updated: More Newness
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: I've posted additional commentary, video, and photos at Jay Allbritton's blog, Ice Station Tango. We will also dissect the press conference further, and talk about the rest of the week's news, on Unusable Signal tonight. The show starts at 11pm EDT. AOL has already gotten 8 wonky paragraphs out of me about last night's press conference. Now, it's my turn. This one is for me. You see, last night was historic for more than one person. I know, I know, Barack this, Obama that, but it was also my first prime time news conference. I'm sure President Obama would have liked to have kept our ...
