According to Politico’s Carrie Budoff Brown, who is accompanying Obama on his trip to the Middle East and Europe, Obama’s campaign sent out a “dress code” that especially targeted female reporters as to the appropriate attire while traveling in Israel and Jordan.
Obama press told to cover up, not wear green
No green. That is […]

Summer Spin for the Nowhere Man features a smashing new strategy to win the hearts and minds of Hillary supporters. Having voraciously devoured her dignity, gone to all lengths to destroy her credibility and spending the Primary season obliterating all objective information about her Presidential candidacy, MSM has decided its time to give the little lady […]

Donna Brazile, at Huffington Post:
Donna Brazile, who ran Al Gore’s 2000 campaign, said the Obama campaign has had a “lousy start to the general election. Although the political environment continues to favor Obama and the Democrats, the candidate is still not fully on four cylinders.”
Maureen Dowd, in today’s New York Times column, “May We Mock, […]

… to mock my piece late last night on FireDogLake’s story on Obama’s wholly inadequate response to “comedian” Bernie Mac’s misogynistic remarks.
John Cole of Balloon Juice gleefully reports that FireDogLake’s story was a spoof, and “I can report that they are stupid enough that they took this spoof at FDL seriously.” Here’s my […]

FireDogLake, one of the most influential liberal blogs that is a trailblazer for its on-site coverage of the trial of Scooter Libby, as well as its steadfast support of former ambassador Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame Wilson, writes tonight:

In the spring of 2007 when Don Imus referred to the players on Rutgers Women’s basketball teams as “nappy headed ‘hos” on his radio program, Barack Obama called for Imus to be fired immediately for remarks that were racist (and, one would hope, sexist). Last night Bernie Mac referred to a woman in […]

UPDATE: As Memeorandum.com makes clear, Daily Kos and other “progressive” blogs are ignoring this story. And, although Obama wanted Don Imus fired for referring to a woman as a “ho,” Obama’s prescription for Mac was, “I’m just kidding with you, man.” Obama told the crowd last night:
“… Bernie you got to clean up your act. […]

This election season has been more than educational; at the minimum the rivalry between Hillary and Barack has illustrated the sexist underpinnings in our political power culture, that mainly go ‘unseen,’ or in Freudian terms, either ‘denied’ or ‘repressed.’ The sexism of the campaign had to go way ‘over the top’ for some to ‘get […]

It wasn’t that long ago that Barack Obama was criticizing Rap for the images the medium conjures up. In fact, he directly blamed the Don Imus incident on Rap, which created a bit of a stir in the Rap community.
At a fund raiser in South Carolina with the SC Legislative Black Caucus, Sen. Barack Obama […]
