For Shame, Charlie Copeland

Filed in National by on January 8, 2010 65 Comments

By now, we are all aware of the despicable crimes alleged of Dr. Earl Bradley, a Sussex County pediatrician. Charlie Copeland has now decided that it is all Beau Biden’s fault. Much like Rudy Giuliani, Charles Lamont du Pont Copeland has a faulty memory, or is an outright liar. Or perhaps Copeland, despite all his […]

Filed in Delaware, National by on January 8, 2010 10 Comments

I just received a call from LiberalGeek who has informed me (via twitter) that Joe Biden’s mother, Jean Biden, has died. She was 92, so at least we can say she lived a long and eventful life, and saw her son become Vice President of the United States. Our thoughts are with the Biden family. […]

Filed in National by on January 8, 2010 33 Comments

It’s Friday and it’s open thread time. Let me congratulate BCS champion Alabama for kicking Texas’s freshman quarterback around. Alabama was probably the best team but who knows how they would have played against Boise State. If only there was a way of determining who was really the best team… Let’s start with some good […]

Bush on how to prevent a terrorist attack. “What […]

Morning Quick Hits

When Congressman J.D. Hayworth began making noises about challenging McCain this year for reelection, I thought he was just raising money for his own reelection to Congress, taking advantage of the teabagging hatred of McCain. And the threat of the primary did move McCain to the right. But Hayworth just confirmed that he is seriously […]

Broder Should Stick To Writing Castle Press Releases

Filed in National by on January 8, 2010 5 Comments

David Broder, the “dean” of pundits writes a particularly disgusting column today. Was Christmas Day 2009 the same kind of wake-up call for Barack Obama that Sept. 11, 2001, had been for George W.

Filed in National by on January 7, 2010 12 Comments

Pete du Pont praises Sarah Palin and then mis-characterizes the data from an organization whose name he gets wrong, and further fails to check the actual position of the aforesaid organization on climate change. So much for reasonable moderate Northeastern Republicans.

Filed in Delaware by on January 7, 2010 25 Comments

Democrat Scott Spencer challenges his primary opponent, John Carney, to pledge not to use any Democratic Party money should he be endorsed by the state Party in his primary. It does seem to be a perfectly reasonable request. For we here at Delaware Liberal were all up in arms, and legitimately so, in 2008 when […]
