It's official... Mittenann are the Brangelina of American politics. Their haughty arrogance and their sense of entitlement exceeds that of any of those Hollywood power couples who make all of us "little people" want to hurl.

Why do Republicans keep accuse me of envying Mitt Romney? If I'm going to envy some guy with millions of dollars I'd envy Mick Jagger... and not because he's wealthy.

Conservative Republicans remind me of those vacuous cheerleaders in high school with the arrogant idea that dorky students hate them for being beautiful. Many of those same cheerleaders grow up and marry Republicans men simply because they're wealthy. And I guess I'm supposed to envy those Republican tycoons for marrying a trophy wife, in addition to allegedly coveting their wealth.

Mitt Romney has been unemployed for 7 years or 28 consecutive quarters as they say down at the unemployment office. Mitt says he hasn't worked because he's been running for president. Ha, ha! that's a good one Mitt! At least it keeps his wife from nagging him about finding a real job.

Normal people don't spend nearly a decade being a full time presidential candidate. Mitt reminds me of the unemployed guy who says he can't work a job because he's too busy writing the great American novel.

I visited Sean Hannity's website today to see it he made good on his offer to Charles Grodin to be waterboarded for charitable purposes.

To make Hannity's waterboarding event a big success, Kieth Olbermann upped the ante by making a generous offer pay $1000 a second for every second Mr. Hannity endured the waterboarding.

It's important that we all remember that this isn't some stunt dreamed up by Kieth Olbermann to make Hannity appear foolish. It was Hannity himself that agreed on the air to be waterboarded for the a charity that assisted families of American military personnel.

I've seen a couple of posts on the emerging scandal of Sarah Palin's per diem reimbursements for travel. After a bit of reasearch into the Sarah Palin's own Division of Finance regulations on travel I can reach one inescapable conclusion: Sarah Palin falsified her travel reimbursement reports and broke the law of her own adminstative agency charged with oversight of the state's Travel Office. That's only half of the equation.

The second half asks the question: Did Sarah Palin report her travel expenses properly to the IRS and the Alaska Department of Revenue? If she didn't, then she may have committed tax fraud which means she's on the fast track to being booted from the Republican ticket. It's a big deal when a candidate for any public office cheats on their taxes and I can't imagine McCain retaining Sarah Palin if her tax returns don't add up.

Today's St. Louis Post Dispatch carried a metro story about a local St. Louisian who grew in Wahilla Alaska and attended Wahilla High School with Sarah Palin. Amy Gwin is the director of agency relations for the Rodgers Townsend advertising firm here in St. Louis.

I've noted with interest the communiques from Rick Davis of the McCain camp accusing Barack Obama of playing the so-called race card during the past 24 hours. Mike Glover wrote in today's Huffington Post :

McCain took on the role of aggrieved victim, his campaign waiting almost a day after Obama's remarks to charge that he had injected race into the presidential campaign. "Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck. Its divisive, negative, shameful and wrong," McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said.

I really don't care if McCain's trophy wife is proud of her country. She is just another GOP Stepford Wife as vacant as the previous ones. Whoopie for anorexic-looking Cindy McCain in her red $5000 Yves St. Laurent power suit, with her triple string of cultured pearls, her bleached blond hair and her shiny new face-lift telling us she's proud of America. Prouder of America than--- hmmmm, let's say Michelle Obama.

Former publishing idiot savant Judith Regan is suing the News Corporation for $100,000,000 for smearing her personal reputation in her recent firing at head of ReganBooks division at Harper Collins. The Harper Collins publishing house is a wholly owned subsidiary of the News Corporation which is wholly owned by the uncontested master blaster of the fake newz: Rupert Murdoch.

Ms. Regan is alleging that an unnamed party or parties at News Corporation offered her hush money to conceal her tryst with Rudy Giuliani’s longtime sidekick Bernie Kerik from Justice Department investigators. When Ms Regan refused the hush money and flipped on Bernie to federal prosecutors, Ms Regan alleges the order to dismiss her came from the top of News Corporation’s food chain. The termination order for Ms Regan may have even been the sultan of schlock newz himself, Rupert Murdoch. Rupert claims to personally authorize the firings of all division heads, so what gives? Is Rupert involved in offering a hush money payment to Ms. Regan to obstruct justice in an ongoing federal investigation?

Bush is going soft in the head. Halfway through the match, Bush wants to kick over the table the chess board is on and start a brand new game of chess. Is this not a manifest symptom of senile dementia? Nope! Rules are made to be changed until you find the rules you can win with. If you can't win under your own house rules, make up new ones!

Bush has failed at nearly every benchmark the he (not Congress) established to evaluate the progress of the surge, so now five years into the war and half dozen failed mission statements later, it's time for New Rules Vol. 5 (the 2007 Al Anbar edition)

March 20th, 2003 was invasion day at the start of the Iraq war. It was on that day that I lost my religion. I listened on NPR as the first American troops to landed in Iraq and instead of seizing WMDs the American forces made a beeline to secure the refineries of the Basra oil field. Basra, Iraq is the home of the second most productive oil field on the face of the earth. If imminent danger from WMD was the cause of the war,why did the U.S. military secure the oil fields first and wait several months to even begin any search for WMDs?

After March 20th, 2003 there was no doubt in my mind that Bush had begun a war to plunder the oil resources in Iraq. To this day nothing Bush has said or done has persuaded me to believe in the Bush's lame platitudes about democracy and freedom as the goal of the Iraq war. The thought that Bush is planning to call his presidential museum the Freedom Institute makes my skin crawl. The only monument Bush deserves is a Tower of Babel built from the debris and rubble from the Iraq War and Hurricane Katrina.

A moderate Republican friend mine my was feeling a wee bit celebratory about Rove’s handling of his Meet the Press interview with NBC White House correspondent David Gregory. He sent my this fairly perceptive email on how Rove managed to get the upper hand in the interview (unedited):

our affection for him is probably similar, but we differ regarding the appreciation of his intellect. given the very poor political position he and his party are in he was never touched by the russert's stand in.

while vulnerable on the discussed topics ... the 2006 election results, iraq, 9/11, immigration & social security reform failures, cheney's flip-flop of the '94 position against an iraq invasion, miscalculation of the costs of the war and the ability of iraq revenues to cover it, his treasonous Plame disclosure, and avoidance of testimony because of executive privilege ... rove never took a hit.

he even used the national broadcast as an opportunity to point out all of hillary's negatives as the demo front runner. while a correspondent of the calibre of Moyers or Schieffer would never have let rove assume such control of the interview, that bush's brain emerged from that discussion unscathed speaks to his malignant brilliance.
