"Watergate" journalist Bob Woodward told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday that in the wake of the Mueller report, he is waiting for someone to come forward with "tapes or new evidence." BOB WOODWARD: Well, first of all, I think the report is quite amazing, and the Attorney General Barr did himself a massive disservice because his letter quoted a portion of the report that looked like Trump was off the hook on obstruction of justice, but as we know on page 182, Mueller makes it very clear that they did not reach this issue because of evidence, because they could...

On the March 20 episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, NBC Sportscaster Bob Costas laughed off criticism of his many pro-gun control comments and added to them by asking if people really believe the Founding Fathers wanted “private citizens… to purchase cop-killer, armor-piercing bullets” and an “AK-47″? Maher opened the door for Costas to do so by citing topics Costas has spoken on –“gay, guns, head injuries”– and suggesting Costas “has to” talk about these things because not other “sportscaster” or “broadcaster” is doing it. The focus then turned to Costas’ April 2014 suggestion that athletes can’t be trusted...

A Georgia man has been arrested after police say he filmed an unauthorized, behind-the-scenes video of Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant contestants disrobing at the swanky Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel.

According to Rolfes’ arrest...

Obama says he ignored Beck rally He seemed intent on casting himself as above the political fray, saying he had more important work to do than to engage in the back and forth of the political “silly season.” For example, Obama said he did not watch any of Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally Saturday on the National Mall. “It’s not surprising that somebody like a Mr. Beck is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. That's been true throughout our history,” he said. But “I’m making decisions that are not necessarily good for...

Election 2008: Joe Biden tossed his hat into the presidential ring Wednesday, along with some choice racial gaffes. Curiously enough, his fellow Democrats had little to say about this. We'd like to know why. The senior senator from Delaware said he'd run for president as a foreign policy wizard, but in a wide-ranging interview with the New York Observer he didn't exactly show any diplomacy. He badmouthed other candidates and did little to show voters what he has on offer. However, Biden didn't conceal a thing. Commenting on rival Barack Obama, Biden all but told him he was a credit...

Gov. Bob Taft this morning made good on his promise to veto a rewrite of Ohio's concealed-carry handgun law, setting up an override vote in the Ohio House this afternoon. Taft opposes the section of the bill that wipes out about 80 local gun laws, including the Columbus assault weapons ban. The bill gives state government sole authority to enact laws restricting the sale and possession of guns. In his veto message, Taft said the measure “exceeds the scope of a concealed carry corrective bill by preempting local gun regulations relating to owning, possessing, purchasing, selling, and transferring firearms and...
