Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

Before you read THIS, guess which of these three candidates has the  best presidential name, according to an expert in onomastics (the study of names).

Incidentally, this guy says William Jennings Bryan had the best name in each of his three presidential elections, all of which he lost.

Is not what’s good for the goose also good for the gander?

The media are in high dudgeon these days, and rightly so, over Hillary Clinton’s failure to make public her tax returns.

But, as Jamison Foser explains HERE, the pundits have nary a word to say about John McCain’s failure to make public his tax returns.

McCain, you see, is a darling of the media. (But don’t tell Republicans about that.  It’ll just confuse them.  They think the media love only Democrats.)

Trib likes Obama’s candor in Rezko case

Three dozen reporters from the Chicago Tribune grilled Barack Obama for 92 minutes the other day on the matter of his relationship with alleged political sleazeball Tony Rezko.

When the ordeal was concluded, the ordinarily Republican Trib came away HIGHLY IMPRESSED by Obama’s candor and more than eager to renew the paper’s endorsement of him for the Democratic  presidential nomination.
