Jerry Falwell's funeral. Were the notable absences due to busy schedules or is it a further indication of the faltering political significance of the religious right? Or were the GOP fatcats anticipating spectacular violence? This just in from ABC News... HugoDrax Tue, 22 May 2007 21:33:39 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2007/05/who-can-fox-news-get-to-pad-their-ill.html With the latest news that of the current 2008 Democratic presidential candidates, only rantin' grandpa Mike Gravel, kindler gentler racist Joe Biden, and "Peace Gnome" Dennis Kucinich are bothering to show up for Fox's debate in a few months, I'm wondering who the pseudonews network could call on to fill out the seats that Clinton, Edwards, Obama et al. won't be sitting in. A few worthy possibilities came to mind... HugoDrax Wed, 30 May 2007 00:20:18 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2007/06/bloomberg-also-thinks-constitution-is.html New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg says Sen. Barack Obama isn't eligible to be president due to his lack of experience, if this Politico report is to be believed. Incidentally, you may have heard that Bloomberg is also interested in running for president. Being old, rich, and Prince of the City, he's a natural choice over Obama, he might suggest. But the Constitution of the United States list these and only these requirements to be president... HugoDrax Thu, 28 Jun 2007 23:54:40 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2007/05/bob-novak-hypes-fred-thompson-and-for.html Nattering nabob Robert Novak says in his latest Evans-Novak Political Report that ex-Sen. Fred Thompson is "a strong Republican presidential prospect because of the weaknesses of the GOP's 'big three.'" Bob can rattle off all the distracting nonsense he wants, but he knows the real reasons that Fred Thompson will surely be the Republican nominee are two... HugoDrax Thu, 31 May 2007 06:32:09 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2007/07/bumper-stickers-for-american-plutocracy.html It's where we're headed anyway... dynasty leadership. Mecenday has the goods. HugoDrax Mon, 30 Jul 2007 21:34:09 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2007/06/fred-uncle-hulka-thompson-fan-club.html A few days ago I mentioned how Bob Novak was hyping Fred Thompson as the hottest candidate in the race for the GOP nomination, and with just cause: Karl Rove has been sticking his electoral feelers out via one of his monkeyboys, and as everyone knows, Karl's sweaty touch is golden. He's also got his fingers in the Giuliani campaign, but methinks with all of Rudy's dirt and skeletons, he'll be relegated to the VP slot on a ticket headed by Reagan-Bot Thompson... HugoDrax Wed, 06 Jun 2007 02:33:43 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2007/06/gop-quietly-giddy-about-new-orleans.html So Bob Novak snidely suggests in his latest political report. Talking about upcoming US Senate races, Novak has this to say about Louisiana, which he feels is the GOP's "best pickup opportunity" in 2008... HugoDrax Thu, 28 Jun 2007 01:48:11 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2008/01/coulter-novak-and-newt-are-fredheads.html News that Human Events endorsed Fred Thompson barely made a ripple. That's probably because Thompson has barely made a ripple himself. He might get a boost in SC, where his demonizing brand of swagger seems to resonate. Is that what Human Events is banking on? HugoDrax Sat, 19 Jan 2008 23:53:03 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2007/06/novak-08-democratic-sweep-of-presidency.html Sometimes it's hard to tell, when our old buddy Bob Novak scuttlebutts, whether he's been interacting with actual people or talking to his fist like Señor Wences. And then, if there's good reason to believe he's not winging it on his own, you have to figure out if he's sharing legitimate insider analyses or just passing on Karl Rove's latest crateful of fat red herring to hapless readers. That's what makes him fun to peruse. If we got no-bullshit Bob in his latest political newsletter, then Republicans are in for an even more miserable 2008... HugoDrax Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:45:57 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2007/06/novak-large-number-of-dem-insiders.html Bob Novak writes in his take on the recent Dem/GOP debates that Sen. Hillary Clinton, whom Novak accidentally identifies as a Republican, "is slow-walking her way toward the nomination, which is often a path leading to defeat." Why defeat? Because Novak reveals that... HugoDrax Fri, 08 Jun 2007 05:33:58 GMT
