Democrats are just SO above race.

Posted by Cassy Fiano · Published: May 13, 2008 · Comments (8)

They are so noble, so much better than Republicans, that they don't need to stoop to dirty tricks like race-baiting or smears. Right? Um... I guess not.

Tom Ridge. 3. Former OH Rep. and OMB Dir. Rob Portman. 4. TX Gov. Rick Perry. For Ridge... [Full Story]

Asking the questions the media won't ask

Posted by Cassy Fiano · Published: May 8, 2008 · Comments (6)

Everyone knows that no one is supposed to ask Barack Obama any tough questions. We're supposed to be pacified by his empty rhetoric message of "hope" and "change", and not look any deeper. Because, you know, if we do, we find a whole lot of things to be uneasy about,... [Full Story]

Or... something along those lines. Maybe the local reporter is getting a tingle up her leg, just like Chris Matthews, at the mere mention of Obama's name.
