Latest Political News

Remember in the movie Men in Black how Agent J, the former NYPD Detective Sergeant James Warren Edwards III (Will Smith) and the new agent, Agent L, former Medical Examiner Dr Laura Weaver, stop by a news stand and pick up several tabloids (scandal rags) for intelligence collection purposes?

Well, this post is based upon that kind of thing, and just as reliable, in just as weird a universe.

For background, while the National Examiner has a presence on the web, its sister scandal rag, The National Examiner has none, and is specifically not for sale in the UK.  But, it is The National Examiner that has the scoop.

The headline is "Kennedys beg Hillary to Run Against Obama!"  It is based on the idea that our President has dissed Caroline Kennedy and the others in the family.  The lede:

It's payback time!  Caroline Kennedy is mustering all her heavyweight political connections and family members to oust Barack Obamas from the White House—and put Hillary Clinton in his place!

In the story they bring in former President Bill Clinton as wanting to help and SecState Hillary Clinton as being loyal to the President.

Not mentioned in the story, but of interest to those of us up here, of course, there is the question of how Senator Kerry fits into this, since he would love to be the next SecState, opening the way for Ms Gail Huff to run for the US Senate.

As a Republican I am happy with our minor little skirmishes and having the people we have posturing for the office of President.  It could be so much worse.  And, good news for our side, at least people headquartered in a Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority ventilation station are not tracking our candidates through the tabloids—that I know of.
