Mike Huckabee clings to guns and religion. Well, at least he won’t be clinging to dreams of the VP slot any longer.

Obama counterattacks Bush, er, McCain, er….dammit, who is his opponent again? BDS-infested party can’t remember.

Famous tolerance of the left on display at Washington University.

Hillary notes that if you only count states where she won, she is winning. If you count states where she isn’t winning, you’re a sexist.

Obama is coming to get your guns, your daughters, your pets, and your stamp collection! Oh. And your Elvis Signature Collection Commemorative Plates too. And your daughters, did I mention your daughters?

Bin Laden releases announcement, “hey, I’m still saying stuff! About Jews! And Palestine! Hello? Is this thing on?”

Barack Obama complimented for good rhythm. Damn racists.

Pollster laments the narrow slice-and-dice tendency of modern political consulting. Next: Leper laments the spread of leprosy.

PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree. Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors. Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly or willfully misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should not be posted.

(2) Comments should avoid use of vulgar language as well as racial, ethnic, or religious slurs.

(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.

(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements. Comments that present false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim) or that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors by email.
