Worse than Jeremiah Wright!
Edited on Tue Apr-29-08 10:40 AM by BlueDogDemocratNH
Which is worse, an occasionally peculiar preacher, or a creepy political fixer who was on the payroll of a genocidal dictator?

Armed with photographs autographed by Bill Clinton, Spirou had himself appointed to the board of HAU. He engineered a takeover, ousted board members alert enough to question his management practices, and presided over HAU's transformation into a personal fiefdom.

Later, Spirou used the same photographs to persuade the late Slobodan Milosevic, the despot of Serbia, to appoint him his personal advisor at the Dayton talks. Back in Athens, he wrote articles in Greek newspapers sharply attacking America's Balkan policy from a Greek/Serbian nationalist perspective.


Guess who Slobo's pal is supporting:

1. If a tree falls in the forest and it's not given 48 hours of continual news coverage...
is it really a political liability? :shrug:

2. These Obama gaffs are killing me!
Just when it looked like we had the 2008 election in the bag, we are seeing a meltdown of historic proportions. It seems like we do this every election cycle. Wright is bringing down Obama's chances every time he opens his mouth. But Obama doesn't seem to be panicking. Neither does hillary. Do they know something we don't?
Ive been trying to find more information about something called the Denver Plan. Here's an article from last month that talks about it, although I don't think they actually call it the Denver Plan:

Has anyone else found anything more about this plan?
