NEAL'S BACK MONDAY!

Neal will be back Monday all rested up and ready to offend.

PANDERING WITH POODLE POWER

Much is being made of President Bush's decision not to address the NAACP convention. Considering what the head of this organization said about the president, would you want to go there? Let's take a look.

NAACP Chairman Julian Bond has compared the Bush administration to the Taliban, and last week, NAACP leftist Kweisi Mfume accused President Bush of treating blacks like prostitutes. Oh really? It is quite the opposite. More like the Democratic party is the pimp and the NAACP are the prostitutes.

The fact is it is the Democratic party that is treating the NAACP and its membership like a bunch of prostitutes. The NAACP has long abandoned it's original goal of helping to advance its membership. Now, all they stand for is serving their masters at the DNC, and asking "how high?" when Terry McAuliffe says "jump."

So since Bush wasn't speaking at the NAACP convention, The Poodle saw the opportunity to do a little pandering and rush to Philadelphia and give his own speech, complete with a phony, single-fisted "black power" salute. Ohh...he's so hip, isn't he? Everybody there must have been thinking, "he's one of us!" Nothing like an ultra-rich, out of touch white guy to connect with the NAACP convention. So why is it that the NAACP is so supportive of Kerry and Democrats in the first place?

It's simple....Democrats have made a deal. In exchange for one group or another's votes, they'll continue to dispense government handouts, set-asides and anything else they can squeeze out of you, the American taxpayer. The Poodle is pandering to minority groups, promising to trade votes for more entitlements and the like. Why do people tolerate such a condescending arrangement, where limousine liberals like The Poodle consistently tell them they can't do anything on their own...that the government must help them?

Beats me.

THE BIG HILLARY CAVE

Well...what a difference 24 hours makes. New York Senator Hillary Clinton will be speaking at the Democratic National Convention in Boston after all. In fact, she's going to be introducing her husband. There was a big furor when it was discovered she didn't have a speaking role. So The Poodle rushed to offer her a slot. A spokesman for The Hildabeast says she is honored and delighted to be able to address the convention, and will do everything she can to elect John Kerry. Well now that's interesting....just yesterday she was honored and delighted to not be addressing the convention. So which is it?

The Poodle's campaign has been saying that Hillary didn't request a speaking role, and that was their reason for leaving her off the speaking schedule. That's a lame excuse...she's one of the most popular elected Democrats...you would think they would be tripping all over themselves to get her to speak at the convention, front and center. Yet, for some reason, they're not. I say there's still more to this than meets the eye.

Remember: Hillary gets what Hillary wants. The Clintons still run the Democratic Party, and they do not want John Kerry to be elected president. A victory for The Poodle shuts Hillary out of the Oval Office until at least 2012, and she wants to be president long before that.

CHENEY STAYING

Well, that was a big waste of time. Despite rumors that were no doubt started by Democrats to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about the Republican ticket, Dick Cheney says he's not dropping out of the race. The press must be so disappointed. They're not really used to politicians sticking to the guns on anything.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan also added yesterday that Cheney will be on the ticket. So let's recap: The White House says Cheney will be on the ticket, Cheney says Cheney will be on the ticket, and President Bush says Cheney will be on the ticket. So why is this still a story?

Because it hurts Bush. Any story the media can come up with that will benefit The Poodle's campaign, you can bet it will stay on page one for as long as possible.

After all, they're just doing their job.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Education Secretary Rod Paige is striking back at the NAACP....telling them they "do not own, and are not the arbiters of African-American authenticity."

The federal government has now decided that obesity is an illness, and Medicare funds will be used to treat the condition as such.  Congratulations...your tax dollars will now be used to finance Twinkie runs at 3 in the morning.

The NAACP's name no longer means anything....they haven't advanced anything in a long time.  John McWhorter says the organization has outlived its usefulness.

Bush didn't lie....Blair didn't lie...and Cheney was right.  John Podhoretz cleans up the mess about the Iraqi WMD intelligence.

Now that they have cut and run in Iraq and given in to kidnappers' demands, Peter Brookes says The Philippines has said 'yes' to terror.

The International Court of Justice is demanding that Israel tear down their security wall that is keeping terrorists out of their country.  Charles Krauthammer asks why.

In coming out against the war he voted for, The Poodle is exploiting America's dead for political gain. Joel Mowbray looks at the case against Saddam Hussein.

So where is this 'dump Cheney' movement coming from?  From Democrats...and a few week 'Republicans.'  David Limbaugh says there is no reason to replace Cheney on the ticket.

sKerry says he doesn't like the way George Bush conducted the war in Iraq.  Mona Charen says the media should demand to know how he would have done things differently, since he has yet to say.

Dumping Cheney from the ticket isn't going to happen, but the Democrats and the media sure wish it would.  Rich Lowry looks at what is behind the frenzied movement to send the vice-president into early retirement.

The United Nations has ranked Norway as the best place to live.  Sounds good...perhaps they would all like to move there, instead of occupying valuable real estate in New York city.

Passengers riding first class from Atlanta to Chicago switched their seats with soldiers returning from Iraq who were riding in coach.  Great story.

Ron Reagan is going to address the Democratic National Convention about stem cell research.  Steven Milloy says Reagan is wrong, and says junk science is behind his proposal.
