Transparency as relativity

"Obama's transition office did not respond to requests for comment."

So reports The Washington Post in today's article Donor to Richardson Also Gave To Obama

You know, this is at least the second time in a week or so that's come out of Transparency Central. Is this what you all voted for?

Racing to keep up with Obama-related corruption charges

It's hard to keep up with all of it and still have a life!

And all this even before Obama takes office!!!

Here's one more connected to Bloggy and here's one other big Dem fish being investigated!

Slippery slope: TAX HIKE IF YOU MAKE MORE THAN $120,000!

Ah the slippery slope of socialist liars. First Obama says everybody under $250,000 gets a tax cut. Then he lowered it to $200,000. Then Joe Biden lowered it to $150,000. Here’s a great McCain ad covering that chicanery. Then Bill Richardson announces that taxes will go up on everybody making $120,000 or more.

LISTEN AND LEARN!

DEMOCRATS: THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

These three positions on Pakistan are so totally mind-boggling that I think I'll just have to take LSD (the intellectual equivalent of throwing the cards up in the air) if one of these jokers becomes President!

"I mean, that's what this election is all about. Returning to our principles, standing against terrorists like Musharraf.." --Democratic candidate Bill Richardson to CNN's John Roberts, 1/3/08

NOTE TO DEMOCRATS: When Roberts pointed out how the candidate had labelled Musharraf, who has held onto the Bush administration's strong backing despite widespread enmity on the Pakistani street, Richardson insisted that "I called him a tyrant. It's 5:30." --DeadlineUSA

"If President Musharraf wishes to stand for election," [Senator Clinton] told Blitzer, "then he should abide by the same rules that every other candidate will have to follow."

NOTE TO DEMOCRATS: "The upcoming elections are for the next parliament. Musharraf was just elected president of Pakistan, overwhelmingly, by popularly elected electors on Oct. 6. He's just begun his five-year term as the president of the country. Why would he ever want to run for one seat in parliament? It wouldn't make sense." -- Pakistan analyst Thomas Houlahan

"...they are causing us problems, and they are still plotting to do harm to America." Barak Obama speaking at a townhall in Nevada, Iowa on 12/27/07.

NOTE TO DEMOCRATS: "...in an August 2007 speech on counterterrorism [Obama] argued the United States should strike Pakistan unilaterally if they find actionable intelligence about al-Qaeda terrorist camps there and Pakistan fails to act. The speech was criticized by some as overreaching in terms of foreign policy. But Obama frequently cites it now when pointing to the turmoil in Pakistan to say that he was right." --Posted 12/27/07 by NBC/NJ's Aswini Anburajan

UFO's invade Democratic debate last night

Seriously, Richardson, the governor of New Mexico, called on the government to declassify all Roswell documents. He brought it up himself when Chris Matthews was joking about Kucinich's UFO answer. He said the government hasn't "come clean" on the issue. His campaign will surely say he was joking, he has a sense of humor. But even though he was laughing in some parts of that answer, he wasn't joking about THAT.

Matthews looked on in disbelief and joked that this is shaping up to be a contest between the de-evolution party and the pro-UFO party.

Gov. Richardson called on government to declassify Roswell docs!

In the weird last minutes of the debate (the period, by the way, when The Fix made it onto the basketball court in high school) Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio) gave us a highlight.

Asked about the statement by actress Shirley MacLaine that Kucinich had seen a UFO at her house, Kucinich said that he had. He quickly sought to clarify -- an "unidentified flying object" he said holding up his hand -- but man oh man.

The big news tonight: DENNIS KUCINICH HAS SEEN A UFO!
