Harry Reid: Promise Breaker
by Jed Babbin Copyright © 2008 HUMAN EVENTS
 Call Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell old-fashioned. When someone promises him something, the Kentucky conservative expects the promise to be kept. But that is too much to expect of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)

In President Clinton’s last two years in office, the Republican majority in the Senate confirmed fifteen circuit court nominations, including two controversial ones - Richard Paez and Marsha Berzon - to the already too-liberal Ninth Circuit. Republicans are demanding that the Democratic Senate move to a vote the same number of Bush nominations as Clinton was allowed by a Republican-controlled Senate in his last two years.

Last month, Reid finally agreed to do something about the Senate’s abysmal progress in moving President Bush’s US circuit court judge nominations to an up-or-down vote on the Senate floor.

Given the current Democrat-dominated Senate’s snail’s pace on circuit court confirmations (only eight circuit court nominees have been confirmed so far in this Congress), Reid promised McConnell that at least three nominations would be brought to a vote before the Memorial Day recess began.

 
Barack Potatoe Obama?
By Brent Bozell III Copyright © 2008 Salem Web Network
 Imagine that John McCain named a young running mate to campaign with him, and this national rookie suggested America had 58 states, repeatedly used the wrong names for the cities he was visiting, and honored a Memorial Day crowd by acknowledging the "fallen heroes" who were present, somehow alive and standing in the audience. How long would it take for the national media to see another Dan Quayle caricature? Let's raise the stakes. What if it was the GOP presidential candidate making these thoroughly ridiculous comments? This scenario is very real, except it isn't McCain. It's the other fellow.

ABC reporter Jake Tapper follows politicians around for a living. On his blog, he suggested Barack Obama has a problem: "The man has been a one-man gaffe machine."

 
Hillary Clinton's colossal blunder simply the last straw

 SICK. Disgusting. And yet revealing. Hillary Clinton is staying in the race in the event some nut kills Barack Obama.

It could happen, but what definitely has happened is that Clinton has killed her own chances of being vice president. She doesn't deserve to be elected dog catcher anywhere now.

Her shocking comment to a South Dakota newspaper might qualify as the dumbest thing ever said in American politics.

Her lame explanation that she brought up the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy because his brother Ted's illness was on her mind doesn't cut it. Not even close.

 
 JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama has been caught in an apparent gaffe that has some angry bloggers claiming the Democratic presidential candidate was "lying about the Holocaust for political gain."

In a Memorial Day speech yesterday available on video, Obama told an audience his uncle liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp. The Nazi death camp, however, was liberated by the Soviet Union in January 1945.

After publication of this story, Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton issued a correction. Obama was referring to his great uncle, a member of the 89th Infantry Division that liberated the Ohrduf camp, part of Buchenwald, in Germany. Burton said the great uncle, Obama's grandmother's brother, is still alive.
