Kate Clinton riffs on Black History Month, Women’s History Month - and why the transgender movement’s own “bathroom moment” adds legitimacy.

Only Kate can put together Oprah, Rutgers and a guy in Italy fiddling with his overalls.

She also explains the mysterious strategy of “saging the White House. ” Hint: it involves fire. But not senior citizens, or members of SAGE.

Watch below!

What is she trying to hide…?

There are now three candidates still left in the race for the White House, but only one of them has released his income tax returns: Barack Obama.

In an editorial on February 27, the Washington Post called on Hillary Clinton and John McCain to make their tax returns public, which they both have so far refused to do. “I’ve said that I’m going to release my tax returns when I’m the nominee,” the Post quotes Clinton as saying, while noting that McCain “isn’t even pledging to release his returns once he becomes the nominee,” which the paper rightly calls “even more disturbing” than Clinton’s decision.

The Post calls Hillary’s suggestion “contrary to historical practice,” noting that John Kerry released his returns in December 2003, long before winning the nomination, and that Al Gore, as a sitting vice-president, had made his returns public even before declaring his candidacy in the 2000 presidential election.

“If it’s legitimate for voters to expect nominees to disclose their returns, why not primary candidates, especially at this winnowed stage of the process?,” the Post rightly asks. Read more…

“McCain will not reject nor denounce me!”

At the last Democratic debate, there was that riveting conversation about the differences between reject and denounce when it comes to the support of Minister Louis Farrakhan. Now a similar situation has come up with John McCain, but no one is making him go to the dictionary. The Arizona senator received the support of Pastor John Hagee, a Texas man of the cloth who has called the Catholic Church the following terms: “the Great Whore,” an “apostate church,” the “anti-Christ,” and a “false cult system.” Lovely. McCain stood on a stage with this guy and gladly took Hagee’s endorsement but thus far no calls for McCain to reject, condemn, denounce, or whatever word shows appropriate moral outrage.

This double standard is part of the country’s racial calculus and is not going to change soon. If you are white, then you are an individual not required to explain the silliness of your white brothers and sisters. If the melanin in your skin is enhanced, you are a stand in for the following: O.J., Farrakhan, and Revs. Jackson and Sharpton. When they say or do something nutty, you are expected to answer for it, even if their ravings/actions have nothing to do with you.

Jay & John on Hillary’s dilemma: “Should she stay or should she go now?”

Next Tuesday’s big Texas/Ohio/Vermont/Rhode Island primary is looming. Barack Obama is the current front-runner. The media is still swirling in its pro-Obama love fest mode, and Hillary Clinton’s campaign has practically been on put on some kind of death-watch by the mainstream press.

Is this fair? Is this accurate? And frankly… What do you think Hillary should do at this point? Should she consider withdrawing? Is that ludicrously premature? Does she still have a chance?

And ultimately… Iis it more radical to have a woman as President than an African-American male?

Hmmmm… Watch this week’s “Gay Agenda” vlog below, and tell us what you think.

Hillary’s new booster…

Hillary Clinton has a new best friend: Rush Limbaugh. The eponymous host of The Rush Limbaugh Show — which, according to its own website, is “the most listened to radio talk show in America, broadcast on over 600 radio stations nationwide” — this week began encouraging his listeners to vote for Hillary Clinton.

Urging his army of ‘DittoHeads’ (as Limbaugh’s loyal listeners call themselves) to vote for a woman whom Limbaugh has spent 16 years vilifying as the she-devil incarnate might seem a surprising move on El Rushbo’s part. But if you listen to Limbaugh regularly, it actually makes perfect sense.

“We need Hillary,” Limbaugh declared on his show on February 26. “We need the soap opera. Hillary Clinton is J. R. Ewing, and her husband, Bill, is Sue Ellen. We need to keep this soap opera going, but we also need the chaos,” Limbaugh added.
In a segment entitled, “We Started Mrs. Clinton’s Slide, But Now We Need Her to Stay Alive,” Limbaugh argued that Hillary was now the Republicans’ best hope for victory in November. Read more…

I could spend this space listing all the ways I disagreed with William Buckley but I’ll save that for another time. Whether he was on TV, working as the master of ceremony for “Firing Line” or editing the National Review, Buckley was the conservative’s conservative. The stammer, language, smile, and wit made it impossible for a liberal to tangle with him and not come correct. An opponent who makes your game better and sharper? Couldn’t ask for anything better.
