Call It A Comeback
Still no correction on Jill Stanek’s article in which she essentially calls Rod McCulloch a liar. The article insists the file was never open even though just about every news organization has reported that it was open for a little over a year.
Dan Proft writes a rant about how everyone is out to get his little clique, but doesn’t shed anymore light on Kerry’s files than is seen on Drudge.
Let’s remember that Jack! had to know there was a file out there once Rod McCulloch brought up the allegation involving sex clubs in three cities. Hence, all the nonsense about Jack! being wronged ignores that he set himself up with his problem. Boo Hoo.
I called Massachusetts Probate Court that most likely dealt with Kerry’s divorce. today and was told the files had to be asked for in person or in writing. Given that barrier, unless I have a reader in Massachusetts, I’ll wait for the big media to track down the files and their status. If no one follows up I will, but I don’t see the point in starting the process if others are likely to get there first.
The General Assembly passed a law giving the Republican Party an exception to the 67 day rule. It was unanimous in both chambers.
The question that remains is whether any of the smaller parties will challenge this as special legislation. As a Democrat, I can’t get upset about this, but if I were a member of a smaller party, I’d be hopping mad given all the extra hoops they have to jump through.
Dan suggests that Democrats should have made a stand and pointed out the effort to politicize 9-11 by moving the convention so close to the third anniversary. I say, let them hang themselves.
I doubt such a move would resonnate with non-activists and it would sound like a game. However, letting the Republicans overdo themselves in New York will be a far more effective way to get the point across.

Because I’ve been busy with Illinois, I’ve been neglecting my Chick duties.
He even defends it with a little story.
And of course, his new film is coming out. Well, not coming out in that way, but you know. I’ll be looking for a copy to amuse me. Scoobie has seen it, I think.
I’m not even angry about this crap, but I am finding it funny. Check out the clip from the Daily Show
Could we get a better press corps? I don’t mean ideologically either way, just better.
I’m not sure I get the Bush Commercial
This reminds me of a critical story NBC did on Ronald Reagan. They showed pictures of him in all these different places and then compared his record to his rhetoric. It was quite damning. They then asked Deaver or someone to respond and the person loved it–great pictures. Nobody would remember the text. If I watch this commercial, I don’t necessarily get a negative image of Kerry, I get a lot of damning claims about the President. What am I going to remember?
It seems to me that this is the reverse story where the content hurts more than it helps. Via Rick Klau.
Was in the SJR,
Minutes before the special session was adjourned Saturday, Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, proposes to other senators that they should pass a
resolution to rename the Executive Mansion the “summer vacation home.”
Thanks Blagorgeous–that was useful.
I had linked to this article screaming about Topinka’s participation in the Pride Parade.
From the 1996 Republican Convention as reported in the San Francisco Chronicle
While GOP television showed pictures of speakers praising one another at the podium, a very different scene erupted in the back of the convention hall.
”Abortion is murder!” Ken Scott of Denver screamed at California Governor Pete Wilson, Massachusetts Governor William Weld and Maine Senator Olympia Snowe. ”Why are you part of the Republican Party when you’re breaking God’s law? You won’t be able to run and hide from God!”
”You guys are libertines,” one pro-choice advocate shouted back. ”Get out of our party!”
I’m with you Chris, but you have some work to do.
