(Although probably not if they're looking at these photos.) One is a woman who once lived in the White House -- Hillary Clinton. And the other is a woman suspected of harboring ambitions of living there someday -- Sarah Palin. A Democrat and a Republican. A former senator and a former governor. Two polarizing politicians, both moms, both best-selling authors, who lost their own bids for one of the nation's top elected offices last...

Dirksen said in an interview that the quote wasn't his, but that he would only be too happy to take the credit. We were reminded of that quote when we heard this one by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who cannot deny that she said it: “The US is prepared to work with other countries toward a goal of jointly mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020 to address the climate change needs of developing countries.”...

Namely, because of Barack Obama, the most divisive and hated politician in America since Richard M.

They present the defense case in detail with only a cursory rendering of the prosecution's case - and then only in a negative light.

Hugo Chávez says nothing, a development in itself. The October 30 Tegucigalpa-San Jose Accord (translated here), under which the United States and other nations are to recognize the results of the November 29 Honduran elections, was hailed by the U.S. government and by the Organization of American States (OAS) as “as bringing an end to a months-long political crisis.” It seems to have fizzled because former President Manuel Zelaya insisted that he be reinstated before the unity government took office.

But Hillary Clinton’s refusal to even acknowledge the role played by Ronald Reagan in the Wall’s demise as well as the downfall of Communism was highly insulting towards one of the greatest figures of our time, and reeked of petty and partisan mean-spiritedness.
