Tucker Carlson to Emcee Ron Paul Convention
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyTook a test to become an emcee, And Doctor Paul became amazed at me. So Jesse Benton put me in the campaign plane, Stepped in the Target Center, hollered, "Make it Rain!" – "Tucker MC," Ron/PMC – 2008 Wonkette has the announcement that is sure to send all three of Ron Paul's female supporters running out to TickeTron: Wow, the 2008 St. Paul (Minneapolis) Paultardpalooza just got even better, because former MSNBC star Tucker Carlson is a "big Ron Paul supporter" and he's the "emcee" of the September 2 rally for the Campaign for the Liberty of Dr. Ron Paul's Re-EVOL-o-lution! We've ...
McCain: From Maverick to Monotony
By Ken Layne - Politics DailyHere's a political confession, if you like such dirty things: Eight years ago, during the Republican primary race, I donated money to a political candidate. It was and still is the only time I've ever given my hard-won dollars to a campaign. My thirty bucks went to John McCain, through his innovative "web site" that took donations through, I think, "PayPal."Heading home to Washington from an assignment in Belize, I got stuck in the Chetumal airport for most of a day. In that weird era before you could get online anywhere, I was stuck with a bunch of day-old newspapers. The Miami Herald had a ...
Jenna Bush's Beautiful Wedding Heals America
By Ken Layne - Politics DailyOn a lovely spring Saturday in Texas, just as the sun set, Jenna Bush had her wedding at her father's prop "ranch" in Crawford. And for that special moment -- or at least a day later, when the White House released some nice pictures from the exclusive event -- America was one nation again.Since the divisive election of 2000 that led to the heartbreaking recount in Florida, there have been Two Americas, and the angry middle-class and working-class people of this large nation have been unable to agree on anything for any reason.But our horrible, maddening first eight years of this awful century ...
Top Ten Good Things About Our New Depression
By Ken Layne - Politics DailyAccording to the same financial experts who didn't manage to predict the current housing crash/credit crunch recession, the next step in this miserable process will be a full-blown Great Depression.There are many causes for our new national nightmare, and it's no more fair to say "George W. Bush personally caused the entire catastrophe and ruined America forever" than it's fair to say "George W. Bush personally piloted those jets into the World Trade Center and Pentagon."The important thing is to prepare for your new life during the New Great Depression, which will probably last at least a ...
Is America Ready for a Hawaiian President?
By Ken Layne - Politics DailyThis election season has already seen so many "firsts," including a lady candidate, an extremely old and crazy candidate, a Mormon candidate whose Mormon dad was also a candidate (40 years ago), a Mexican candidate, and a man-who-dresses-like-a-lady candidate. If only Dr. Martin Luther King, Lyndon Johnson or Ted Kennedy were still alive today, they would surely approve of this motley group of losers we've boldly considered for the American presidency.But there is one hurdle of humanity we, as a nation, may not be quite ready to jump: Even with all of America's race problems solved, are we, as ...
'08 Shocker: John McCain Is Still Alive
By Ken Layne - Politics DailySomething strange happened during this week before Christmas: Political experts suddenly noticed that John McCain was still running for president, apparently as a Republican.Weirder still, the excitable senior citizen now has a fighting chance in New Hampshire, where he won the GOP primary way back in 1900 2000.But a terrible scandal -- perhaps even worse than the "gay sweater" scandal of last summer -- threatens to derail McCain's latest effort to seem promising in New Hampshire before ultimately losing the nomination again. ...
What Team Can Beat Oprah & Obama?
By Ken Layne - Politics DailyThe Obama & Oprah Show attracted 30,000 delirious fans in South Carolina alone last week. There probably aren't even 30,000 voters in South Carolina. How did Barry Hussein Obama pull off this political equivalent of the Led Zeppelin reunion?It was easy. All he had to do was find a celebrity surrogate -- somebody a lot more famous, yet with enough similarities to the candidate to make the American Citizen equate the beloved star with the lowly politician.Now, voters don't need to know about Barack the man, or the Audacity of Hopelessness, or anything at all, really. They need only remember that ...
