On Monday during a Trump campaign rally in Ohio, former NY Mayor Rudi Giuliani introduced VP candidate Mike Pence by saying “You know better than I do what a great governor he is of your state.” There’s just one problem — Pence is the governor of neighboring Indiana. Even worse, while introducing Donald Trump, Giuliani […]
I wish more presidential experts were like Macey Hensley. She is far more mature than her supposedly older counterparts. I believe all presidents deserve respect, even ones you don’t like. And I say this as someone who moved to another country when George W Bush got reelected. But I still respected the office, and respected […]
Why would anyone think that Jeb Bush would be any different from his family? Not just his father and his brother, but also his grandfather, who profited from the rise of Nazi Germany. It bad enough that Jeb Bush has said that he still supports the invasion of Iraq and that he might use torture […]
© Matt Bors UPDATE: From Paul Krugman: Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued? Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s not really that odd. What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. […]

If you look over the evidence, you do have to wonder how he got into all those Ivy League schools: The dean looked over Barack’s transcript and college boards and then suggested in a kindly way that he apply to some less competitive colleges in addition to Columbia. There were no class rankings at his […]
© Matt Bors I just don’t see how they can prosecute Julian Assange unless they also prosecute Bush and Cheney for what they did to Valerie Plame.
© Mr. Fish Apparently, a significant number of Bush’s “original” recollections found in his new memoir were plagiarized — often word for word — from other people’s books and articles. UPDATE: I also feel this way about seeing Bush on TV again.
© Bruce Beattie Inspired by a campaign in Britain that saw Tony Blair’s autobiography show up in the crime, horror, and even fantasy sections of UK bookstores, US activists have launched a campaign to have people move George W. Bush’s new autobiography to its “rightful place” — the crime section — and then take a […]
According to the Financial Times, in 2008, during the height of the presidential campaign and after Bush had publicly endorsed John McCain, George W Bush told a group of British dignitaries including the British Prime Minister that he didn’t like McCain. I probably won’t even vote for the guy. I had to endorse him. But […]
Some recent polls: From Public Policy Polling: Even though only 4% of Republican voters support building a mosque 2 blocks from ground zero, 21% of them say they would support building a strip club in the same place. From Opinion Research / CNN: Americans are now almost evenly divided on their opinion of Obama versus […]
If you can believe Karl Rove, he and Bush had a friendly competition to see who could read more books each year. According to Rove, Bush read 95 books in 2006, 51 in 2007, and 40 in 2008. That’s an average of more than one book a week over 3 years. Apparently, Obama is not […]
Newt Gingrich doesn’t think the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are bad enough. On Thursday, Gingrich twice said that the US should attack North Korea and Iran. But the best part is his reasoning — we need to finish what Dubya started when he created the phrase “Axis of Evil”: I believe he was right […]
