    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Michael Reagan Praises Sarah Palin As The New Ronald Reagan

Posted on September 7, 2008 by Riley

Barry Obama’s Freudian Slip About Religion

Posted on September 7, 2008 by Riley

Thank goodness George Stephanopolous was there to correct Barry Obama on what religion Barry is!
(Note that we carried the extended version where G.S. corrects him and Barry acknowledges it and not the one cut after Obama makes the initial mistake as to what his religion is.)
(H/T The Write Side of My [...]
