Rand Paul, Michael Steele: Fighting to Keep the Liberty in Libertarianism
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyIt was fascinating to watch the talking heads on weekend round-table discussions try to talk Rand Paul out of the hole he dug for himself. In particular, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele's defense of the Kentucky Senate candidate seemed ambivalent and a bit painful. Paul's trouble came with his musings that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 may have overreached when it forbade private businesses from discriminating, that the federal government's condemnation of BP's oil-drenched transgressions is too harsh and that, when it comes to Gulf spills and fatal mining disasters, ...
Biden Says Cheney Is Misinformed or Misleading
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Feb. 14) - Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday belittled Dick Cheney's criticism of the Obama administration's commitment to fighting terrorism as either "misinformed or he is misinforming" and said the Iraq war wasn't worth it because of "the horrible price" paid. The former vice president fired back gently at his successor, saying, "I guess I shouldn't be surprised by my friend Joe Biden." Cheney also said that he disagreed with decisions by Bush officials to place shoe bomber Richard Reid on trial in civilian court and to release terrorism suspects from the U.S. detention ...
While Praising Palin, McCain Calls Her 'Irrelevant'
By David Sessions - Politics DailyIn the midst of lavishing praise on his former running mate Sunday, Sen. John McCain said Sarah Palin is "irrelevant." In an interview with NBC's David Gregory on "Meet the Press," McCain came to Palin's defense, saying she is "what the Republican Party needs to regain power in the midterms and ultimately in 2012." He also said he continues to have a "wonderful relationship" with her and that he enjoyed her book in spite of the negative things it has to say about his campaign. But while he was handing out high praise, McCain wedged in what could be interpreted as a jab at Palin. "I am ...
Emily's Post: From Gossip Fodder to Gossip Columnist
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyHaving been fodder for every gossip column in town, starting today I'm turning the tables -- and becoming one D.C. gossip columnist who fully gets what it's like to be on the receiving end. Everybody knows Washington politics is not for the meek or thin-skinned. And I've lived, worked and loved D.C. politics and media since I was 18 years old. In the years since, I've toiled on the Hill, at the State Department, in the Bush 43 administration, and for the Washington bureaus of two TV network news divisions. I've also counted chads in the Florida recount, run for my life from the Capitol on ...

Hillary Clinton: 'I'm Out of Politics'
By Melinda Henneberger - Politics DailyAs I'm sure all of you Woman Uppers saw, that's what the secretary of state told David Gregory on "Meet the Press" this week. Then again, Clinton also laughed at the idea that she meant all those things she said during last year's presidential campaign about the man who was then her rival and is now her boss. "[D]uring a campaign you're going to magnify differences,'' she told Gregory. "You're trying to convince people to vote for you and, and vote against the other candidate." So, 3 a.m. calls to the red phone notwithstanding, Clinton now says she was a fan from the start: "I always had a ...
