Totenberg is a political assasin. If the nominee were a leftie the "story" would have been buried as merely about sex (Clinton).
Wilson went to Niger and found out that they did not sell yellowcake. I guess the minister he asked was an old frat brother.
What about the extremists from the speakers' religion?
Arkin has never made any sense. All style no content. Ask youeself, what did he just say?
We the people should decide what to do with the profits from her book
any comments on rivalry between north and south political clubhouses?
Actually, Mr. Lopate, Sen. Lautenberg could easily assail Sen. McCain on the latter's age, because McCain has a couple of different kinds of cancer, and the chances that a 72-year-old man with those conditions will survive more than a couple of years are very slim. Look it up, sir.
