Dick Cheney to Be Subject of HBO Miniseries
By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailyDick Cheney's been out of government for more than two years, but his political afterlife shows no signs of ending: HBO plans a miniseries on the famously abrasive former vice president. CNN reports that the project will be based on the "Frontline" documentary about Cheney, "The Dark Side," along with the Barton Gellman book, "Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency." No word from HBO on when the series will air or who will star, but it is expected to follow the former Wyoming congressman and defense secretary from his early years in the Nixon administration to his time as George W. Bush's ...

Sheila Jackson Lee: 6 Wild Allegations From the Daily Caller Profile
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsRep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, is the subject of a long profile by conservative writer Jonathan Strong at The Daily Caller, and, perhaps not surprisingly, the picture Strong paints isn't pretty. The Daily Caller is a news and opinion site founded by Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel, former adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney. Jackson Lee did not speak to Strong on the record (or at all), so the profile is based largely on statements made by her former and current staffers, not all of them named. While the congresswoman is a frequent target of right-wing complaints, she ...
Supreme Court and Conflicts of Interest: Pressure Builds for More Transparency
By Andrew Cohen - Politics DailyUnited States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas just passed his fifth anniversary of silence during oral argument before the Court. During that time, he has not asked a single question of a single lawyer in a single case. And no one may force him to do so. But there is growing political and legal pressure on the justice, and the high court itself, to end a different kind of official silence; about conflicts of interest and the reasons why the justices recuse themselves (or, more pointedly, don't) from certain cases. Last month, the public accountability group Common Cause asked the ...

Florida's Alan Grayson Says Sarah Palin Instigated Arizona Shootings
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyFormer Florida Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson is accusing Sarah Palin of fueling violence preceding the shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson Jan. 8. "There has been a stream of violence and threats of violence by the right wing against Democrats," he wrote in an e-mail letter to his supporters titled "Gabby was Right, Palin is Wrong."

In Wednesday's message, which also appeard on his Facebook page, Grayson writes: "When I opened my web ...
So What Does Dick Cheney Really Think of Sarah Palin? [VIDEO]
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsDick Cheney isn't shy about expressing his opinions -- unless the question involves Sarah Palin. The former vice president recently sat down with NBC News for his first interview since undergoing heart surgery in July. In a wide-ranging discussion, he offered his take on the harsh criticism he's received, President Barack Obama's re-election chances and the Tucson shootings. Told that his memoir-in-progress is rumored to be "candid and blunt" and that "some scores will be settled," Cheney chuckled. "Well, I have a bit of the sense that I'm going to get the last word," he said. But when ...

Opinion: Will Durst's 2010 Xmas Wish List
By Will Durst - AOL NewsWishing you all a Very Happy Merry. And no, I'm not falling into that trap. You go out and dance to the beat of whichever winter festival you want to celebrate. Christmas. Hanukkah, Kwanza, Saturnalia, Solstice, noon Tuesday, 420, a December date equal to the square root of the number 625. Whatever. And good on ya. As we say in politically correct San Francisco, "May the corpulent bearded one in the scarlet suit smile upon your chosen shrubbery." Now inevitably some people are going to find their stockings aren't quite stuffed with the egregious booty they were expecting or, most important, ...
Will Durst: My Top 10 Comedic Stories of the Decade
By Will Durst - AOL News(Dec. 17) -- Believe it or not, an entire decade has passed since the turn of the millennium. One hundred twenty months. One tenth of a century. More than 3,600 days. How did that happen? It's harder to comprehend than a faded Kazakhstani street sign tagged by Mongolian graffiti. As we are painfully aware, much ugly stuff occurred during the decade, but what with all the mayhem and turmoil, you might think nothing worth laughing about went down. You'd be wrong. I know. I know. I know. "Not another top 10 list. " Yes. Another top 10 list. Hey, how many ends of the decade does one get in a ...
