Told You So: Quid pro quo for Gift to Clinton Library
I hate to say “I told you so” but in an earlier post on this website, MFP raised the pretty apparent conflict of interest created by Bill Clinton for his wife Hillary Clinton. Gifts to the Clinton Foundation and Library are vetted by the West Wing, giving anyone overseas who wants the attention of Obama and his Secretary of State an opportunity: Give to the Foundation and get some attention. This dynamic is nothing new as revelations of what one donor received are coming to light

Senator Theodore Bilbo (D-MS): Arch Segregationist
Governor Blagojevich is at it again! He has defied his own party and appointed a successor to President-elect Barack H. Obama in the United States Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has already announces that the Senate would not seat the new nominee, which raised the question, when was the last time that the United States Senate refused to seat an elected Senator. According to U.S. Senate historians, the last time was in 1947, when a coalition of Republicans and Northern Democrats refused to seat Hon. Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi (pictured left). Senator Bilbo was a real character of the game. Let’s turn back the clock and take a look at this little piece of historic irony.

Not So Fast! There are Battlegrounds in 2009
There is a lot of talk in the blogosphere (and in what’s left of the newspapers) about the 2010 election cycle. The talk is about Camelot Barbie and her quest for Hilary’s Senate seat; there is talk about Harry Reid’s uphill battle to retain his own seat; and there is talk about Jeb Bush running for the Senate seat being vacated by Mel Martinez. These are interesting topics, but conservatives must focus on the first task at hand - the 2009 statewide races in Virginia, New Jersey and perhaps Illinois.
We need to send a strong message that law-abiding citizens have a right to own firearms, for personal protection, for hunting and for any other lawful purpose.
Hon. Sarah Palin (R-AK)
