Jon Stewart Plans 'Restoring Sanity' Rally to Counter Glenn Beck Event
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyTake it down a notch, folks. An odd theme for a mass rally, but that's what comedian Jon Stewart has in mind for a semi-serious event planned for Oct. 30 in Washington, apparently in answer to Glenn Beck's mega "Restoring Honor" rally on the National Mall last month. This one's not going to be any "tea party." The "Rally to Restore Sanity" almost sounds like an Un-Rally. "We're looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat, who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard, and who believe that the only time ...
Elizabeth Warren: Bank Watchdog Who Belongs on Supreme Court
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyOn Monday CNN reported that Elizabeth Warren, Harvard law professor and chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), made the short list of nominees to replace Justice John Paul Stevens. What a difference a year makes. I called it here on Politics Daily last May, but back then I was dreaming more than predicting. ...

Is Dennis Kucinich Joining the Tea Party Movement?
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyMy time-space continuum warped when I heard that Dennis Kucinich had talked to tea partiers and found common ground. After the Democratic defeat in Massachusetts last month, Kucinich said, "There's nothing liberal about the bailouts. There's nothing liberal about standing by and watching banks use public money to get their executive bonuses. There's nothing liberal about giving insurance companies carte blanche to charge anything they want for health care...Since when did that become liberal?" A lot of citizens who once stumped for Obama – for change and hope, they thought – feel ...
Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly Face-Off on Fox News (Video)
By David Sessions - Politics DailyOn Wednesday night's edition of "The O'Reilly Factor," late-night comic Jon Stewart sat down for a rare interview on the network he makes a business out of criticizing: Fox News Channel. Stewart and O'Reilly debated Obama's first year in office and quarreled good-naturedly over Stewart's attacks on Fox. "I'm torn," Stewart said of Obama's time in office. "For me I can't tell if he's a Jedi Master, playing chess on a three-leveled board way ahead of us, or this is kicking his ass." In a more serious tone, Stewart said he believed Obama had made progress in some areas, such as restoring order ...
Vanna White in the White House? How About Bruce?
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyVanna White, the pleasant letter-turner on the game show Wheel of Fortune, was wildly popular in the mid-1980s. Some surmised that Vanna's appeal stemmed not from her blondness, but rather her blandness. Viewers saw either a girl next door or an irresistible, slightly dangerous hottie, depending on what they wanted to see. So my suggestion for 2012 presidential candidate is: Bruuuuuuce! Yes, Mr. Springsteen. The singer. Well, why not? ...

At War with The Daily Show Over 'Don't Ask/Don't Tell'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAt Friday's White House Press Briefing, I asked Press Secretary Robert Gibbs what I thought was an excellent question, and one which has garnered considerable attention from the blogosphere. Over the weekend, I found myself the recipient of heaps of gratitude from the LGBTQ community, a sad statement on the status of mainstream advocacy for gay equality.I also found myself the target of a rather dismissive accusation from Comedy Central's Indecision Forever, who thought that this question had a too-familiar ring to it:I wondering if you could describe the difference between the President's ...
California Considering Fuel Standards That Favor Petroleum
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe California Air Resources Board met today to consider methods of evaluating fuels, and many alternative fuel proponents are crying "Foul!"At issue are two competing methods of "carbon scoring" petroleum and alternative fuels. The first takes into account only the fuel's chemistry and means of production. It is he second method that's causing controversy: (from Andrew Gumbel at HuffPo)The second choice is to try to throw in considerations of broader economic and geopolitical realities. That's not a bad idea in and of itself. It's hard to assess the total environmental cost of importing oil ...
Terry McAuliffe, Partisan Windbag, Running for Governor of Virginia
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThe other day I got an e-mail from Terry McAuliffe giving me (and all the other people on a voluminous contact list) the inside scoop: Terry had decided to become the Governor of Virginia! Fresh off his abrasive stint as a spokesman and adviser for Hillary Clinton's failed bid to become the Democratic nominee, it seemed that McAuliffe just couldn't stomach the prospect of a campaign-free existence. So, after the potential donor base had been notified first, a YouTube clip went forth to the population at large, heralding the news:It's funny to listen to Terry talk non-partisan solutions, ...
