Ashley Turton: Reactions to Her Untimely Death

The strange, sudden death of Washington, D.C., lobbyist Ashley Turton has left many people in the nation's capital grieving. Investigators say they are waiting for lab results that will help determine why Turton died after her SUV caught fire in her garage. According to a D.C. Fire Department spokesman, it's possible that Turton hit something as she was backing out of the garage. The fire was probably sparked by a flammable substance in the garage, perhaps something stored on a workbench near her vehicle. While accident details remain under investigation, Turton's friends and colleagues have ...

The New Stepford Wives Party, Starring Sarah Palin (Also Gidget)

The New Stepford Wives Party, Starring Sarah Palin (Also Gidget)

I loves me some mama grizzly Sarah Palin and her adorable Republican bear cubs running for national office -- Delaware's Christine "Never Mind What I Said Back Then" O'Donnell, South Dakota's Kristi "I Forgot My Court Date" Noem and Nevada's Sharron "Unemployed People Are Spoiled" Angle. And no, I don't love them because they're "unelectable." If you said that, bite your tongue. MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews bet Politics Daily's own David Corn that O'Donnell will win in November. Maybe that's a fake-out, but at this point in American politics, the fake is real, the real is fake, and the law of ...

Vanna White in the White House? How About Bruce?

Vanna White in the White House? How About Bruce?

Vanna White, the pleasant letter-turner on the game show Wheel of Fortune, was wildly popular in the mid-1980s. Some surmised that Vanna's appeal stemmed not from her blondness, but rather her blandness. Viewers saw either a girl next door or an irresistible, slightly dangerous hottie, depending on what they wanted to see. So my suggestion for 2012 presidential candidate is: Bruuuuuuce! Yes, Mr. Springsteen. The singer. Well, why not? ...

McCain Scandal Brewing?

By  Tommy Christopher - Politics Daily
McCain Scandal Brewing?

The New York Times has posted an article, being hotly reported on MSNBC, that might have Republican presidential candidate John McCain in hot water: Early in Senator John McCain's first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers. A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, in his offices and aboard a client's corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself - instructing staff members to block the woman's access, privately warning ...

Clinton and Edwards Promise

By  David Knowles - Politics Daily
Clinton and Edwards Promise

Watching last night's Democratic debate, I was struck with the familiar sensation that each of the remaining candidates is, when all is said and done, incredibly similar to the others in terms of actual proposals . Each of them is suggesting health care reform. Each wants out of Iraq. Each will institute a "green jobs" program, and make global warming a priority. Each talks of helping the poor, and giving greater funding to education. Yes, there was The Spat. In which Barack accused HIllary of being a fat cat supporter of Walmart, to which Clinton responded with charges that Obama worked for ...
