Seeds of Destruction
By BOB HERBERT
The Clintons have never understood how to exit the stage gracefully.
Their repertoire has always been deficient in grace and class. So there was Hillary Clinton cold-bloodedly asserting to USA Today that she was the candidate favored by “hard-working Americans, white Americans,” and that her opponent, […]

Arianna Huffington: Sunday Roundup
This week, John McCain gave a speech for the ages - the Dark Ages. He offered up the Right’s boilerplate complaints about activist judges — ignoring the fact that the majority of federal judges are GOP appointees, as are 7 of the 9 Supreme Court Justices. Or maybe he […]

The Clintons and Jim Crow racism

By DOUG THOMPSON–Capitol Hill Blue
Hillary Clinton Thursday admitted that she is the candidate of dumb whites - no more, no less.
As her campaign continues its slide into the dustbin of political also-rans, she told USA Today that she should be president because ignorant white people want […]

UPDATE: Nuns strike back.
Posted by Karen Tumulty
Surely, our majority-Catholic Supreme Court should have known better than to get on the wrong side of the Sisters. As we wrote earlier, the first victims of the new ruling on Voter ID were elderly nuns in Indiana. This just in, in my emailbox: The nuns […]

Missing Records
Senator John McCain is 71 years old, a survivor of an aggressive form of skin cancer. If elected, he would be the oldest man to become president.
These factors are not disqualifying, but they impose on Mr. McCain a larger duty than usual to provide detailed, timely disclosure about his […]
