Riding into N. Korea on his white horse to rescue imprisoned journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, His Royal Bubbaness could not have looked anymore like the uber-rock star that he is.
President Clinton has reminded us that human life is sacred, and that the protection and rescue of the innocent must be one of our national priorities.
Instead of blasting a headline of jubilation, someone inside Huffington Post decided to take the road down Clinton Derangement Highway.
Know that when it comes to Kim Jong-Il, not even political spin machinist Bill Clinton can compete with the mass manipulation pageantry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"Silly season" refers to late summer, when governments go on massive taxpayer-funded vacations all over the world. This year's season could produce a bumper crop of silly.
Clinton's trip to North Korea sends a clear message: hostage-taking gets results. Tehran, Hizbollah, Pyongyang and other violent groups across the world will be taking notes.
Ms. Clinton demonstrates that the new mode of leadership is just as much about generosity, and gifting a fellow player with a moment in the spotlight, as it is about seizing it for oneself.
Can't we all take a moment and rejoice in the return of these two young women without throwing rotten tomatoes at our own Madam Secretary of State?
The unsettling discrepancy between Obama's boldly stated goals and unclear strategies for reaching them means less than adequate guidance for the players in the diplomatic orchestra.
After Bush put the kibosh on direct dealings with North Korea, leading to eight long years of failure to stop its nuclear ambitions, it's good to see the art of realpolitik take center stage again.
The North Koreans in charge got what they wanted -- all that video, stills, pumped-up domestic "news," propaganda -- their leader engaging with the former president of the United States.
How about sending Brad Pitt to Iran to free the Newsweek reporter? Let's send five of America's hottest actresses to the Middle East! We'll call it the Sexy Summit.
When asked by US Weekly if he wore boxers or briefs, Obama refused to enlighten the good people of America, but said, "Whichever one it is, I look good in 'em!"
With Netroots Nation coming up next week, we have joining us DailyKos General Manager Will Rockafellow for today's Wilshire & Washington podcast.
Just as we were all beginning to think it was not possible -- "The Comeback Kid" did it again. In securing the release of Euna Lee and Laura Ling, Bill Clinton reminded us all just how relevant he still is.
Now that Bill has successfully completed his North Korea mission, will Obama use him as the magic bullet to solve crises? Or will Bill become a freelancer, exceeding his mandate?
"I have traveled a long way to get girls before, but this has got to be some kind of record," Mr. Clinton said.
As exuberance following the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee from North Korea rules the trending topics on Twitter, I asked Richard Horgan for a statement on his e-activism through @LiberateLaura.
Like a Cessna pilot deliberately flying into a tornado, President Obama is risking political life and limb to push through healthcare legislation that Americans do not like and do not want.
The news this month for Obama fans is not particularly good, as Obama has definitely ended his "honeymoon" period (which virtually all first-term presidents go through).

Makes me think of Jackie Kennedy ( Hate the name 'Jackie O'), whom i LOVE. But hope the Obama's too will go regularly to add a bit of spice to its, i suppose, waspy feel.
Instead of vacationing on MV with the other multi-millionaires why doesn't Obama take his family to the West to visit the National Parks which are some of the Jewels in America's Crown.....I bet MO has not been there. They can hike and picnic. Environmentalists would be thrilled. The children and family would be active and set an example for other families as MO likes to do. The kids might camp out. The Grand Canyon, and Lake Tahoe are among the most magnificent scenery in the world. This might instill in them all a real love of the land and the environment as well as the joys of hiking.
just ordinary people the democrats are.
Some of these posts really make me laugh. Everyone is so worried about the Obama's on their vacation. Truth known, they pay their own way on many of these junkets.
If you will remember when ex Pres. Bush (W) was coasting in his last year in office, he took many trips to far off lands just to say a fond farewell to the leaders of the various countries. Did anyone complain back then? I think not. He could have just picked up the phone, but that wasn't good enough.
How much is this vacation going to cost the taxpayers?
How much did Bush's vacations cost the taxpayers?
Pres. Bush in his last year in office, took 8 trips abroad...his farewell to leaders of the world. I never heard of anyone complaining about Bush;s trips.
