'Brothers at War' Documentary Explores Iraq's Impact on a Family
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe Washington screening of "Brothers at War" Wednesday night brought the mostly military crowd to thunderous applause and to tears. U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey introduced the movie as "a story about a great American family . . . a great Army family. It portrays not only the sacrifices that the men and women in our armed forces make, but it also ties into the impact on the families, and that is less well known." In the documentary film, director Jake Rademacher follows the lives of his brothers Isaac and Joe, who have served repeated tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rademacher ...
Cindy McCain Poses for Ad Supporting Gay Marriage
By David Sessions - Politics DailyCindy McCain has posed for an ad released by the NOH8 campaign, a pro-gay-marriage effort that pictures celebrities with their mouths taped shut, the Associated Press reports. McCain appears in the usual format: dressed in white, with "NOH8" painted on her cheek and silver duct tape across her mouth. (H8 refers to the ballot measure passed by California voters in 2008 banning same-sex marriage.) The ad was a surprise to some, since John McCain opposed gay marriage during his 2008 presidential run, and his wife rarely speaks out on particular issues. McCain's office issued a statement saying ...

By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Jan. 20) -- Cindy McCain, the wife of 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, and their daughter Meghan have posed for photos endorsing pro-gay marriage forces in California. Mrs. McCain appears with silver duct tape across her mouth and "NOH8" written on one cheek in a photo posted Wednesday to the Web site of NOH8, a gay rights group opposed to Proposition 8. The ballot measure passed by California voters in 2008 bans same-sex marriage. The McCains' daughter Meghan, who has been outspoken in her support for gay rights, has also endorsed NOH8.

John McCain Won't Let Cindy Go on 'Dancing With the Stars'?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWhile John McCain gleefully suggested entering his wife in the Miss Buffalo Chips competition at bike week in Sturgis, South Dakota (to the approving hoots of the crowd), apparently he is not as keen on the idea of seeing Cindy become a contestant on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." From the never-told-a-lie NY Post:Our impeccably placed source says, "Just before Thanksgiving, Cindy McCain started talks with producers to apper as a dancer on the show. She wanted to do it very badly." But this week, Sen. McCain "put the kibosh on it." Reps for the show and McCain didn't return the calls.Well, ...
Another Cindy McCain Photo and a Correction
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs I reported yesterday, The National Enquirer is trying to complete a political trifecta by pushing a rumor about Cindy McCain with "another man." Radar Online has acquired another grainy photo of a blonde in a turtleneck kissing a Steven Seagal lookalike. As I stated before, both pictures could be perfectly innocent, and the Enquirer offers no proof to the contrary, even parsing its accusation into single-ply tissue paper. It is worth noting, however, an error in HuffPo's reporting. A reader notes that this story is particularly dubious because Cindy McCain was on a trip to Kosovo at the ...
National Enquirer Reports on Cindy McCain
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe National Enquirer is splashily reporting that Cindy McCain has been caught with another man, but Huffpo pokes holes in the poorly-sourced story: ...an eyewitness...says he watched in shock - and snapped photos - as the former presidential candidate's wife romantically kissed a long-haired man who resembles "a washed-up '80s rock musician." ...Sources told The ENQUIRER investigative team the pair have been seen at concerts and sporting events acting very lovey-dovey ...The amazing spy photos were snapped when Cindy and her companion attended the Tempe Music Festival says the person who took ...
NY Post Smears Michelle Obama With Caviar
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThis is not, as you might think, a response to the VP-inspired porn flick "Who's Nailin' Palin," but, rather, a different kind of sleaze: tabloid "journalism." The New York Post ran a story last week stating that Michelle Obama, while staying at the Waldorf-Astoria, called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne. The Post ran this retraction yesterday: THE source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria must have been under the influence of a mind-altering ...
Todd Palin Headed to Martinsville Speedway, Continues Republican NASCAR Swing
By Geoffrey Miller - AOL NewsRepublican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's first man husband will take his turn on the GOP's swing of NASCAR races with less than three weeks remaining in the presidential election.The Alaskan governor's husband, Todd Palin, will serve as an "honorary race official" for Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Va.Now I doubt hubby Todd will find himself checking for missing lugnuts or counting the number of crew members over the wall during a pit stop, but I'll imagine he'll get the same treatment GOP presidential candidate John McCain's wife Cindy got a ...
