Obama Aide's Fiasco Goes On, Despite Apologies
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Feb. 3) – White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has long been known for his foul mouth and ferocious temper. But one particularly inelegant remark he made last fall resurfaced with a vengeance recently and may yet turn out to be the most contentious of his career. Emanuel is reported to have told several liberal groups their idea was "f---ing retarded," during a political strategy meeting in August. The groups wanted to air attack ads against Democratic lawmakers who were unsupportive of President Obama's health care reform initiative, which was already facing tough opposition from ...

Among the complaints is the charge that Taitz called Berg a "Shyster." That's not to be confused with the more recent adjective form, "Shysty." YesToDemocracy.com is all over it, as usual: Ladies and ...
Sarah Palin's Latest Trials and Tribulations
By David Knowles - Politics DailyBy now it should be clear to everyone that, following her failed run to become the nation's next Vice President, Sarah Palin has no intention of fading back into the Alaskan woodwork. To wit, she has continued a somewhat steady effort to remain in the media spotlight since early November, even though her favorite interview topic is how unfair the media has been to her. In this way, she has become indistinguishable from pop stars like Britney Spears (that ready-made metaphor) whose music videos complain of the price of fame while promoting continued fame. The latest instances of Palin-watching ...
