Via Michele Malkin: (I've always wanted to put that in a Kos diary!)

Two of Sen. John McCain’s top advisers and fundraisers are among several Republican and Democratic presidential campaign officials whose lobbying firms have been paid more than $15 million by foreign governments since 2005.

What governments do you ask? More on the flip...

My own definition emphasizes the following:
- a commitment to individual liberty, tempered by the conviction that genuine freedom entails more than simply an absence of restraint;
- a belief in limited government, fiscal responsibility, and the rule of law;
- veneration for our cultural inheritance combined with a sense of stewardship for Creation;
- a reluctance to discard or tamper with traditional social arrangements;
- respect for the market as the generator of wealth combined with a wariness of the market’s corrosive impact on humane values;
- a deep suspicion of utopian promises, rooted in an appreciation of the sinfulness of man and the recalcitrance of history.

How the fuck is this legal?

Sen. John McCain plans at least one campaign event on his week-long congressional trip to Europe and the Middle East: a March 20 fundraiser in London. An invitation sent out by the campaign says the luncheon will be held at Spencer House, St. James's Place, "by kind permission of Lord Rothschild OM GBE and the Hon Nathaniel Rothschild." Tickets to the invitation-only event cost $1,000 to $2,300. Attire is listed as "lounge suits."

No, not the lounge suits. The raising of campaign funds by foreign royalty?

The Washington Post got its hands on a manuscipt of Douglas Feith's attack memoir and dribbles out excerpts. Calling it a "massive score settling work", there is nothing shocking or revealing, other than it cements Feith's reputation as what General Tommy Franks calls stupidest fucking guy on the planet.

In what may be a shock to people who just weren't paying attention, the Post starts out with the "revelation" that Bush was hellbent on going to war:

Among the disclosures made by Feith in "War and Decision," scheduled for release next month by HarperCollins, is Bush's declaration, at a Dec. 18, 2002, National Security Council meeting, that "war is inevitable." The statement came weeks before U.N. weapons inspectors reported their initial findings on Iraq and months before Bush delivered an ultimatum to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Feith, who says he took notes at the meeting, registered it as a "momentous comment."

More exposition of the obvious after the break.

Many of you have already read today's front page post about how Rove doesn't think baiting Obama about his name is a good idea and how some state parties just can't resist. Even before this front page post, I read Juan Cole's post of the year, if not the decade:

So, anyway, Obama's first two names mean "Blessing, the Good." If we are lucky enough to get him for president, we can only hope that his names are prophetic for us.

Lisa Schiffern has written some things before that manage to both simultaneously red- AND race-bait. Remember this?

Political correctness was invented precisely to prevent the mainstream liberal media from persuing the questions which might arise about how Senator Obama's mother, from Kansas, came to marry an African graduate student. Love? Sure, why not? But what else was going on around them that made it feasible?

Here's your sign, Lisa: Don't want a cheap accusation of racism leveled at you? A first step is not to be racist!

Now, she links approvingly to this atrocity:

Never underestimate the influence of a wife who bitch-slaps her husband in public.

What next, Lisa? An extended essay on how Michelle Obama's vagina has teeth?

More on the flip...

Last night, Obama relayed an anecdote about how the Army in Afghanistan is being short changed to fight the war in Iraq:

OBAMA: You know, I've heard from an Army captain who was the head of a
rifle platoon — supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up
being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been
sent to Iraq.

And as a consequence, they didn't have enough ammunition,
they didn't have enough Humvees. They were actually capturing Taliban
weapons, because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for
them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief.

It checks out.

The National Review goes back to it's roots as a racist, anti-Brown vs. Board of Education kind of publication with this call for an investigation of Obama's parents:

Time for some investigative journalism about the Obama family's background, now that his chances of being president have increased so much.

Why does Lisa Schiffern want to get all Michelle Malkin on Obama's ass and tell us what brand of bathtub Obama floated his rubber duckies in?

[Interracial marriage] was, of course, an explicit tactic of the Communist party to stir up discontent among American blacks, with an eye toward using them as the leading edge of the revolution.

Of course it was, Lisa, you racist asshole....

A repeat from yesterday...

We had been told that 'British lives on British streets' were at risk ... If this caused another 7/7, how could we say that our investigation was more important? ...

In case you haven’t been following this, the British Government had launched an investigation into defense contractor BAE for paying bribes to Saudi officials, including Bush family BFF and former Saudi Ambassador to the United States Prince Bandar bin Sultan. As you probably already know,Prince Bandar knew about the Invasion of Iraq before our own State Department. As it turns out, while Prince Bandar was getting more access to our deepest secrets than our own State Department, he was also getting up to 120 million Pounds a year deposited into a Washington DC Riggs Bank account for facilitating the 43 billion pound Al-Yamanah arms deal between Saudi Arabia and BAE.

The investgation was quashed because Bandar threatened the UK if they didn't stop.

More chilling details on the flip...

Hey people in Idaho, DC, Alaska, Kansas, Washington, Georgia, Nebraska, Colorado, Minnesota, South Carolina, Virginia, North Dakota, Maryland, Louisiana, Maine, Utah, Alabama, Delaware, Iowa, Connecticut and Missouri:

Mark Penn says your states aren't significant:

"Could we possibly have a nominee who hasn't won any of the significant states -- outside of Illinois?" Chief Strategist Mark Penn said. "That raises some serious questions about Sen. Obama."

Much has already been made about the significance of Michigan and Florida, the two states with the apostate Democratic committees that, through their own hubris and stupidity, invalidated the wishes of their party members. Now, in an interview with the Politico, we find the true reason why Hillary wants to seat the delegates from those two states:

...I think that both Michigan and Florida should count because these are two states we have to carry.
