This week Saturday, January 3, 2009: Still saying "Goodbye to Bush..." The Israeli-Hamas conflict, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the economy, foreclosures, unemployment, failing industries, rebuilding America's cities...

So picture me in Portland OR in a full-length mink scraping ice off the windshield -- I don't even like going outside. Luckily, I made it back to the land of palm trees! BIG thanks to Bulldog Bill Feingold for sitting...

This week Saturday, December 13 AND Sunday, December 14, 2-4pm PST:
GOP's last desperate act blocks help to workers after lavishing support on executives, Illinois' Governor defines "sleaze ball," and OJ goes to jail wh...

Hey y'all, I'm back from Big D and fixin' to have some fun!
When even half of Republicans think President-Elect Obama is doing well in the transition to being President, what more could we ask? How about banning cl...

When almost 70% of Americans say they have a favorable opinion of Obama, and 65% say they think the country will be better off in 4 years, and the GOP has formed a circular firing squad, and Sarah Palin is considered...

In the same miraculous week I not only got to see Barack Obama preparing to move into the White House, but I also got to interview Col. Paul Green of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen.
KNews was a sponsor of the Healing...

When conservative columnist George Will announces that Tuesday’s results will mark the “repudiation of the Republican Party,” what’s left for me to say? Run with me outside, arms raised to the gods, screaming ...

On a day when McCain is back to a serious speech at his most sincere best, surrounded by aging white Senators, Generals and Secretaries of State, moving his argument about the dangers we face to attacking Obama's lack of...

Okay, here's where I do the unexpected. I see absolutely nothing wrong with Palin's wardrobe having been purchased by the Republican National Committee. Sure, that money could have helped someone in a tight Congression...

“We don’t need anybody redistributing the wealth!” The only appropriate response to that new battle cry is: No, you’ve already done it.
Republicans have successfully eliminated jobs, reduced wages, turned a...

How hypocritical is it for Republicans to decry "class warfare" and "Socialism" as the way to describe giving working families a tax cut? After they have presided over the closest thing to nationalization of our entire b...

Let's be real -- it's NOT a debate. It's a structured discussion with subjects introduced by a supposedly impartial facilitator.
The media has had to drum up some entertainment theme, so this time it's a combination of...

The McCain-Palin campaign has decided we need to re-fight the wars of the Sixties. Oh, please. McCain wants to recoup for our "loss" in Vietnam by "victory" in Iraq. Aging radicals, whose dirty deeds were done when Ob...

The final day of "No Man's Land" before Marshall and Stone return next week. Join me Friday from 3-6pm to review Gov. Palin's responses in her first un-scripted encounter with a legitimate news anchor interview. On a s...

...it must be politics! "No-Man's Land" continues this week with politics and "girl talk." Join in the fun from 3-6pm, this week only, for Anita Rufus, "The Lovable Liberal."
Try it -- you'll like it! (Or it'll make...

Saturday, September 6, 2-4pm PDT:
V.P. pick Sarah Palin (the "Barracuda") -- What can you say about a woman who self-describes as a pit bull? If we can't have choice, can we at least get paid maternity leave?
...
By Anita Rufus Show | September 6, 2008
Hillary Clinton so totally broke the "ceiling" on whether a woman could be President, that the argument about McCain's pick for V.P., Sarah Palin, isn't about her being a woman -- it's about her being a mom. The right h...

Between Gustav and Sarah, there's lots to talk about. Is someone mad at the Republicans? What else can explain why those who prayed for bad weather for Obama's speech are now having to deal with nature's backlash? Joi...

What else can possibly happen to send the message that the GOP is facing a huge disaster? John McCain's choice of a political "trophy wife" -- what is it about him and beauty queens? -- is staggering. They think this mea...

What else can possibly happen to send the message that the GOP is facing a huge disaster? The complete lack of consciousness of John McCain and the Republicans in choosing the equivalent of a "trophy wife" -- something...

Good heavens, are we going back to the Cold War? What is it with Republicans that they seem to need enemies? The simplistic terms by which the administration defines other nations are worthy of grammar school: Russia b...

Politics: Who is the real John McCain -- a "maverick" or an elitist who will do and say anything to be President? Hey, Republicans, if you're "shocked" about John Edwards' affair, how can you po...

My last blog included an error that I want to correct ASAP. Paris Hilton did not refer to John McCain as the "wrinkly old white guy." She referred to him as the "wrinkly white-haired guy." My bad -- I guess I played t...

We've come full circle. Obama is too popular, so McCain's henchmen (the Rove transplants) target him to knock him down a peg (Doesn't he know his "place"?) by mocking his "celebrity." How to do that? Let's compare him...

So the McCain campaign, with its Karl Rove transplants and their sleazy tactics, has been taken over by people willing to do or say anything to get their guy to the White House.
But implying that Barack Obama played...

Obama's European trip -- whose votes is he seeking, anyway?
And the Reunion -- I wore exactly the right thing. Listen to the nitty-gritty details on Saturday. You won't believe what I learned.
