Yesterday, Glenn Kessler in his Washington Post article, entitled “Rice’s pre-election appearances buck tradition — Secretary of State is expected to stay above the partisan fray,” reported on Condi’s pre-election activity with a rather critical tone. While Dr. Rice has largely avoided the megabuck politcal fundraising circuit with its infamous “rubber chicken” and photo [...]

Ben Cardin, the Democrats’ $4 million man (and that’s just the primary)

In an example of Party discipline that would have made Stalin’s commissars proud, the Maryland Democratic machine recruited and nominated Congressman Ben Cardin to defeat Kweisi Mfume, a former congressman and past president of the NAACP, who - in the opinion of many political [...]

What are the correct terms for homosexual couples and their family members? Somebody tell us. I, and perhaps you, have struggled with this one for a long time. I am so behind the times that I still struggle with how to refer to unmarried heterosexual couples, much less gay ones. (See side bar) In an [...]

The confrontation between the Clintons and Condi that erupted after Bill’s interview with Chris Wallace on September 24th was (is?) based on the claim, by Clinton, that he left behind a “comprehensive plan” on counter terrorism for the Bush administration when he left office.

Rudy Giuliani, dubbed “America’s Mayor” by none other than French President Jacque Chirac, has consistently come out at, or near, the top of polls for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. These same polls have Senator McCain and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice rounding out the top three. The rest of the pack are [...]

For those of us that are “Fox Fans,” we are used to the informal banter that goes on during Fox and Friends in the morning. Today, in a segue to the Sandy Berger investigation story, the morning crew began doing impersonations of the former Clinton official. During the segment, Condi — and her [...]

Our enemies in the Global War on Terror (GWOT) are economically dependent, in large part, on support from oil-exporting countries. As Secretary of State, Dr. Rice has spoken of how energy “warps” our foreign policy.

Life in Las Vegas taught me many years ago that if you want to truly understand something that you have to follow the money.  That’s what Secretary Rice did with her Mideast trip.
First, she makes an unannounced trip to Baghdad to deliver the message, “Get to work!  The meter is running.”  Then, she goes to Kurdish [...]

Senator Clinton is a political “money machine.”  Regardless of what you think about her personally and politically, she is a ring master in the political circus.  By using her political celebrity as an icon of the Left, she raises money — lots of money.  In the past, money has been called the “mother’s milk” of politics.  And [...]

Producer Linda Ellman (Linda Ellman Productions) was concerned that her documentary, On Native Soil, would be overshadowed by other 9-11 related programming for the 5th Anniversary of the terrorist attack that changed America even though she was able to get Kevin Costner and Hilary Swank to narrate.  (Swank spells her first name with only one “L.”).  [...]
