Unlike the maverick, liberals fight dirty. Distorting McCain’s remarks at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, Obama declared, “John McCain wants to continue a war in Iraq perhaps as long as 100 years,” which the non-partisan watchdog, Factcheck.org, says is a “rank falsehood.” Taking a cheap shot at his opponent’s age, the Illinois Democrat recently accused McCain of “losing his bearings.” And it’s only...
...satanic force, giving the evil eye to his adversary as he enters the ring, then devastating him with "One, two, three punches. I'm throwin? punches in bunches." A long line of opponents surrendered to his lasered rage; they toppled like Wooden-Soldier Rockettes in the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Pageant.

She has the impulse to be creative - she starred in and directed a 12min. film...
...must convalesce the rest of the weekend. That leaves Juan Antonio with the disapproving, and spoken-for, Vicky. She is one of those females, rife in the Allen canon, whose insecurity is expressed as hostility to men; she castrates, or at least circumcises, them with every cutting word. And Hall, with her flawless American accent, is equally persuasive at inhabiting, not just miming, the stammering tenseness of the traditional Allen heroine...
