Neville Chamberlain and Obama

Apparently, as evidenced by his 20 year following of the Rev. Dr. Wright, Obama can’t tell a crazy demagogue from a fireplug. Unless, of course, Obama could have just been following someone who shaped his basic belief structure.

Politics and Sex, Vito and Laura

What is our fascination with another politico’s sex life. I bet most have liaisons sometime, so why are we so enamored with their dalliances?
