Well, at least one Clinton can get things done diplomacy wise

Hats off to President Bill Clinton for obtaining the release of the two jailed American journalists from North Korea.
No word yet on if either of the ladies will have to give him a 'Lewinsky' to show him their gratitude.

Seriously though, it's nice to have a former President who has credibility in the world who can get stuff like this done. Bush would have plunged us into war if he'd been the envoy instead of Clinton.

On the real campaign trail

It was a busy weekend on the real campaign trail. There were primaries and caucuses all over the place so I thought I'd get you all caught up with the latest news. First up, McCain spent the weekend giving his wife the evil eye because she forgot to puree his Cream of Wheat like he likes it. He also got mad at her for not Tivoing Murder She Wrote and Matlock all last week.
In other Republican news Mike Huckabee hit the bricks hard in search of votes and cash. Here he is in Kansas looking for votes and looking dapper. His lovely wife Janet spent the weekend speaking in tongues and scaring small children.And finally future historical footnote George W. Bush claimed that he would be an asset to John McCain's campaign and that Barack Obama was not ready to be President. Given Bush's track record of truth telling, the entire nation took what he said with a gazillion grains of salt.

In the Democratic Party race former President Bill Clinton was in Abingdon, VA, which is about 30 miles from me, over the weekend campaigning for his wife. I didn't go see him but everyone told me he looked just as good as ever.And now, I saved the best for last:
Barack kicked Hillary's ass, shoot, I mean, he swept all the primaries and caucuses this weekend. He won every single one of them. Every. One. He lost none. I think it's time for Howard Dean to tell Hillary to bow out and let the man with the momentum run unopposed. Rock on Barack. Win in November, yes we can.
