No wonder there is so little public support for John McCain. Every time the senator opens his mouth, he puts his foot in it. With gas prices making US families feel poorer than ever, it’s amazing the presidential hopeful could be so callous ::
Reporter: “When was the last time you pumped your own gas and how much did it cost?”
MCCAIN: “Oh, I don’t remember. Now there’s Secret Service protection. But I’ve done it for many, many years. I don’t recall and frankly, I don’t see how it matters.”

…while I draw your attention to Sunny’s question over on LC, re. Nadine Dorries MP, and her 20 Week Campaign.
Who’s financing this thing? Who’s behind it? What are they hiding?
Today Dorries played the victim over on her blog. Unity responds.

Liam Murray has an excellent post on how Labour - and the left in general - just don’t ‘get’ the reality that David Cameron’s new “compassionate conservatism” is real, rooted in history, and ideologically sound.
Of course it’s still hard, for those like me who grew up under Thatcher, to not be suspicious of the Tories, but maybe Liam is right. Maybe Cameron is serious about improving social justice.

Oh Sweet Valley High, this is pure gold.
Hillary’s excuse for her bullshit claims that she was sent to Bosnia on security matters and ran from the aeroplane under sniper fire, was that she’s tired. Or “sleep-deprived?” as she puts it. Rather makes her famous 3am ad look a bit daft now, doesn’t it?
Who do you want answering the phone at 3am? Not Hilldog, that’s for sure. She’ll spout any old crock of shit just to get off the phone and back to her beauty sleep. Jeesh.
Anyway, we can safely dismiss this latest “correction” from Mrs. C for what it is: another lie. During this campaign Clinton has proven that she comes from the same fetid swamp as the rest of America’s poisonous political class. She doesn’t represent change. She doesn’t represent hope. Hillary represents everything that makes Washington the cesspool of corruption and villainy that it is.
Andrew Sullivan reproduces this quote from Hillary: -
Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else… For the first time in 12 or so years I misspoke.
And adds…
Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else. This is close to clinical delusions of grandeur. Does she really think that most of the time she is above being human? Do you know any human being who hasn’t misspoken in the last twelve years once? Or would ever claim such a thing? I sure couldn’t. And this from a candidate whose most famous campaign ad rests on her ability to make national security judgments at 3 am!
Touché.

The New York Times’ David Brooks on Hillary: -
When you step back and think about it, she is amazing. She possesses the audacity of hopelessness.
Why does she go on like this? Does Clinton privately believe that Obama is so incompetent that only she can deliver the policies they both support? Is she simply selfish, and willing to put her party through agony for the sake of her slender chance? Are leading Democrats so narcissistic that they would create bitter stagnation even if they were granted one-party rule?
PAGING HILLARY… It’s not your house anymore. Get over it.

Not quite sure why CentreRight is attacking Hillary Clinton’s campaign?
It would take some effort to separate her and McCain by anything more than a gnat’s knacker on anything substantial. If Clinton has achieved anything in the last 8-years or so, it’s the knowledge that she’s the safe Centre Right candidate in this election.
Okay, she’s playing to the Democrat crowd on Iraq at the moment, but her previous form suggests that this is merely a calculated - some would say desperate (me included) - attempt to capture the nomination.
Who knows what the Hilldog stands for anymore?
