Take The City And Run

With an administration as wrongheaded and blundering as the current one, it is constantly shocking how much they’re allowed to get away with. Just when you think they’ve gotten into a jam from which they can surely never escape, they manage to get into a new one. Perhaps it’s some sort of grand and brilliant […]

From The Caucus:
Former President Bill Clinton isn’t the only man in Mrs. Clinton’s life who could pose a political liability. A new court case has revealed that one of her brothers, Tony Rodham, received money from a couple that Mr. Clinton pardoned.

Tapped has a good summing up of the compromises Giuliani is likely to make with the right if he manages to become president:
