"How many houses do you own?" John Mccain?

2008-08-26T06:49:13Z

The seven McCain properties, all of which are owned by his wife, Cindy, include: 1. Hidden Valley, Arizona: A 15-acre ranch near Sedona that is valued at more than $1 million. This is where the senator likes to relax and fire up the grill. 2. Phoenix, Arizona: A 7,000 square foot condo in a 12-story glass building in downtown that bills itself as "the Valley of the Sun's finest example of urban residential living." 3. Phoenix, Arizona: A second condo on a lower floor in the same 12-story glass building. 4. La Jolla, California: A beachfront condo. 5. Coronado, California: Another beachfront condo. 6. Coronado, California: Yet another beachfront condo in the same building as the first. Is this one for the kids? 7. Arlington, Virginia: A three-bedroom apartment with "climate controlled access to Metro." The building has indoor and outdoor pools. The senator lives here most of the year.

White House's Weak Response to Lobbyist Access-for-Donations Report

2008-07-27T12:46:24Z

You may have seen the article over the weekend alleging that a high-flying lobbyist was hawking White House meetings with administration bigwigs in exchange for donations to the Bush library.

White House press secretary Dana Perino got a chance to deny the allegations today and served up this pretty weak reply.

Obama's Idiots: An Introduction

2008-06-13T19:13:41Z

From Citizen Tube:

Hank and John Green, known by thousands from their popular YouTube channel TheVlogBrothers, are now entering the world of political fundraising. The two just launched a new YouTube channel, ObamasIdiots, aimed at raising money not only for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, but for Democratic candidates across the country.

Sounds straightforward, right? But here’s the twist: the brothers are willing to subject themselves to various forms of punishment and humiliation in exchange for donations--and will post these punishments on YouTube.

McClellan: White House 'Buries Head In Sand' On Prewar Intel

2008-06-12T09:35:06Z

From Ali Frick at Think Progress:

Yesterday, former press secretary Scott McClellan appeared on MSNBC’s Countdown to discuss last week’s Senate Intelligence Report, which found that the White House “built the public case for war against Iraq by exaggerating available intelligence and by ignoring disagreements among spy agencies about Iraq’s weapons programs and Saddam Hussein’s links to al Qaeda.” McClellan accused White House officials of having their “heads in the sand” and said they tried to block the committee’s investigation:

The White House never wanted to have the way the case was made, the way the intelligence was used to sell the war to the American people looked into by Congress. This was delayed for quite some time and Senator Rockefeller pushed this forward to get to the truth. And, the White House can continue to bury their heads in the sand but the reality is still the same.

I think the American people see it for exactly what it is. … We came to the very same conclusion that the intelligence was used in a way to make the threat sound more grave and urgent and serious than it was.
