Did JoAnn and Dougie express their sexual preferences? Remember Kenny and the GOP think it's an appropriate campaign issue.

I smell Pulitzer!

Thanks for this important update. If any other Republican candidates' political allies, spouses, children or childhood friends say anything positive about them between now and Election Day, do make sure to report it here post haste. I know we can count on you.

As a librarian, and teacher, I wonder what she thinks of liars like Jean Schmidt.

Schmidt claimed a teaching degree for 17 years that she did not have. Her "teaching" career consisted of aerobics classes at Elaine Powers.

In fact, today is the 17th anniversary of the first time her lie appeared in print in the November 2, 1989 Clermont Sun,

I lost all respect for Laura when she delivered that crass Republican talking point about Michael J Fox. Shame on her!

First Lady: World Listening to Iraq Talk
The Associated Press
Thursday, November 2, 2006; 1:21 AM

HILLIARD, Ohio -- First lady Laura Bush cautioned Wednesday that Americans discussing the war in Iraq _ especially politicians _ should be careful what they say because other countries are paying attention. "The right to have these conversations is part of what makes our country great and our democracy strong. We must be mindful that people around the world are listening to these discussions," Laura Bush said at a suburban Columbus recreation center during a campaign appearance with Rep. Deborah Pryce.

"Responsible candidates understand that the men and women of our military are risking their lives for us, and that we must conduct our debate here at home in a way that does not jeopardize our troops in harm's way," she said, calling for "conversations conducted with civility and respect."

Bush did not mention her husband's 2004 election opponent, Sen. John Kerry, but her comments came on the day the Democrat apologized for telling a group of California students that individuals who don't study hard and do their homework would likely "get stuck in Iraq." Aides said the senator had mistakenly dropped one word from his prepared remarks, which was originally written to say "you end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq." In that context, they said, it was clear Kerry was referring to Bush, not to the troops.

Pryce is in a close fight for her Ohio seat against Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy.
