Convention

Well, the Final Debate is Here. Gore's Citizen Advisors Urge Him to be Himself.
17-Oct-00
Convention

"Let Gore be Gore" seems to be the consensus of the Vice-President's citizen advisors. After tonight's debate, conventional wisdom is going to have a field day with handicapping the home stretch based on Tuesday's nights performances. The consensus in the Gore camp is that the Vice President will come off as confident and appropriately challenging. Let's hope that he nails Bush on his lamentable record in Texas. That should wipe the grin off of Dubya's face.

Convention

It will be Joe Lieberman's night on Wednesday, but last evening showcased Democrats who spoke to the emotional heart of the party. It was a dazzling array of Democratic luminaries: Jesse Jackson, Bill Bradley and a gaggle of Kennedys. Carolyn Kennedy Schlossberg recalled that forty years ago John F. Kennedy was nominated for president in Los Angeles. The pre-evening speakers included Kate Birch, executive director of the Human Rights Campaign, and Kate Michelman, president of NARAL.

White Flag Goes up on Rep. Sanchez's Playboy Mansion Fundraiser
11-Aug-00
Convention

In what qualifies as the week's oddest Democratic Convention story, Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez has cried "Uncle." After strong party pressure, including withholding a Sanchez speaking role at the convention,the California Representative has indicated she will find a new venue for the event to raise money for registering Hispanic Voters. Whatever the fallout from the Playboy Mansion dust-up, Democrats will back Sanchez's Congressional race to the hilt. She holds the seat occupied by Bob "the rock head" Dornan until 1996. Dornan was one of the most tenacious of the Clinton haters among the GOP junkyard dogs.

Bed-Hopping GOP Romeo Urges Sexual Restraint in the Military
04-Aug-00
Convention

It's not often that a man who lost the House Speakership due to his adulterous romps speaks out on sex in the military. But shame and embarrassment aren't stopping former Louisiana Congressman Bob "Lothario" Livingston. He's on a mission to make sure that boot camp soldiers are not distracted by sex.

'The biggest orgy of hedonism in the history of politics...'
04-Aug-00
Convention

is what one Republican -- yes, that's right, a Republican -- called the four-day Bush love fest in Philly. Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel denounced "these gluttonous parties, this incredible show that we put on that almost forces everyone to gobble as much shrimp and lobster as you can possibly inhale." Chuck, quit already, we're getting hungry.

Texas Delegates to Boycott Speech of Gay GOP Congressman
01-Aug-00
Convention

Hold your horses, the cracks in the Disneyesque Republican attempt at tolerance are starting to show. Yes, some of George Bush's home state delegates have had about all the cultural diversity they can stomach. Tomorrow, when openly gay Congressman Jim Kolbe speaks, several of the Lone Star Republicans are planning a boycott.

The Only Credible News Program in Town
01-Aug-00
Convention

When you want your convention news to be credible, turn to "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." Why waste time with the pandering pundits and blow-dried blowhards? In any case, who else has the best qualifications for covering the Republican convention: a wry, offbeat sense of humor. God knows we need it with George W. about to make his grand entrance later this week.

When It Comes to the Impeachment Process, Republicans Have Amnesia
01-Aug-00
Convention

Remember the impeachment process that the Republicans and their right wing supporters pursued like junkyard dogs. Well, GOP elected officals seem to have been stricken with amnesia when it comes to recalling their rabid pursuit of President Clinton. Those few notables who have a hazy recollection of the crazed initiative seem to want to let bygones be bygones. Clearly, somebody in the Bush Campaign has told the Washington crowd to deep-six any talk of the bungled effort to unseat a popularly elected President.
