J.D. Salinger: A 'Selfish Old Goat,' but Not a Perv
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyAuthor J.D. Salinger, who died in January, is once again in the news, in all his appalling glory. The Morgan Library in Manhattan has put on display Salinger's correspondence with a friend -- Michael Mitchell, the artist who drew the original illustration on Salinger's 1951 novel, "Catcher in the Rye." ...
Dennis Kucinich Switches From 'No' to 'Yes' on Health Care Reform
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyRep. Dennis Kucinich, the progressive Democrat from Ohio, announced Wednesday that he will change his previous vote against health care reform and back the final bill when the House takes it up, likely later this week. "I have doubts about the bill. I do not think it is a step toward anything I've supported in the past. This is not the bill I wanted to support," he said. "However, after careful discussions with President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and my wife, Elizabeth, and close friends, I have decided to cast a vote in favor of the legislation." Kucinich called the yes vote "a detour" in his ...
Kucinich to Get House Vote on Afghanistan Pullout
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyRep. Dennis Kucinich, an outspoken Ohio lawmaker who twice ran for president as an antiwar candidate, plans to bring his case for a speedy withdrawal from Afghanistan to the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday. Kucinich, a Democrat, is a leader of the House Progressive Caucus and among those disappointed that President Obama, himself an antiwar candidate, has not moved faster to get U.S. troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Kucinich's resolution, with 16 co-sponsors, will get three hours of debate on the question of withdrawing within 30 days, or by the end of the year, if an ...
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 ...

Don't Forget the Muppet Vote
By Brandon Barker - Politics DailyFor those who feel like the 2008 presidential election has gotten a little too serious, sit back, relax and think about the Muppets. I know, it's tough. What with Operation Chaos, Operation Sharpton and Operation Gravel in full swing, it's difficult--not to mention downright irresponsible--to hitch your hopes and dreams to a bunch of wealthy has-been puppets in suits.But, still. Isn't it funny how much Sen. Joe Biden looks like Sam the Eagle? Or, how much Rep. Dennis Kucinich looks like Electric Mayhem keyboardist Dr. Teeth? Gov. Mitt Romney... and Guy Smiley? See what I mean? The 2008 ...
Videos of the Week - Hillary Sobriety Test 3
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWelcome to Videos of the Week. Man, this was a long week, and not a lot seemed to happen until Friday, when as my pal Cenk says, "Oh, damn!"Presidential candidate Barack Obama had an acute attack of CTS (Candidate Truth Syndrome,) and we learned how people react to actual straight talk. It wasn't pretty. Still, there is a vocal and eloquent minority of folks who get it and appreciate a candidate who will try to help them live better, and not just feel better. I salute those of you who prefer the truth to baby-talk about your "values."Coming up on VOTW: Bill Clinton gets tickled, Bill O'Reilly ...
We Still Have Dennis to Kick Around
By Dave - Politics DailyDennis Kucinich saves his House seat. Of all of the vulnerable incumbents in primaries tonight, Kucinich appeared the most in danger. Cimperman was well-funded and ran a very good campaign. Kucinich was frightened sufficiently enough to dump his WH campaign, and returned home to campaign full-time for his re-election bid. But Kucinich rebounded sufficiently by raising $689K in the last few weeks of the campaign. He used those funds to run several "person-on-the-street" TV ads that touted his hometown appeal. After the Cleveland Plain Dealer endorsement of Cimperman, and listening to the ...
