"Tickets are $60."

Sixty dollars? Who's opening up for him, the Goo Goo Dolls? It better not be Mike Huckabee's Rockabilly Nightmare Band, or I'm walking (running) right out the door.

Tell you what, Francis. Get me a free ticket for the dinner, seat me close to John Hood so I can badger him a little, let me borrow your laptop so I can live-blog the thing, give me half of your filet, and I'll say something nice about JLF. Like, "they're not all crazy" or something along those lines.

We have to stick together now with this whole blog libel thing happening.

Personal destruction?

Pointing out an elected official's actual positions on public policy is "practicing the politics of personal destruction"? Wow. That's bringing right wing winery to a whole new level.

Oh, Fran,

If you need therapy from everything we've learned from Carter and Jesse, I'm sure someone could ask Jindal to speak on tax breaks for spiritual mind healing.

Could that stimulate the economy? By voodoo, we've found a solution!

Really glad to see the politics of personal destruction is no longer being practiced...

Maybe an exorcism at Duke - doctors present?

Governor Exorcist is speaking near a North Carolina medical school tonight!

If he does any faith healing, I hope the doctors at Duke watch and learn.

JLF bloggers, please report if Governor Exorcist cures your ills.

Can't wait to see your next speaker!

Jindal

Good to see the GOP leadership getting refocused on its shrinking reactionary roots with this anti-science Creationist.

Jindal's slim record as a Congressman from 2005 to 2008 is a window into this staunch conservatism. In that time he missed 427 of 2,398 votes (18 percent); GovTrack.us, the nonpartisan website that tracks elected officials' participation, gave Congressman Jindal a rating of "Exceedingly Poor relative to peers." Nevertheless, Jindal's religious bias and radical-right politics are evident in the votes he did cast. He voted no on a bill to amend the federal definition of a hate crime to include sexual orientation and gender identity. He also voted against reauthorizing and expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP). Not surprisingly, he voted against stem-cell research. He has been an advocate of teaching creationism over evolution and has passionately spoken up for this cause. Jindal has voted against a woman's right to an abortion every chance he has had, including a vote against allowing overseas military personnel the ability to use their own money to obtain abortion services in overseas military hospitals. He also voted for a bill that would require abortion providers to tell patients that an unborn fetus experiences pain during an abortion.

And then there's this, just for fun.

John Edwards is a leader in every sense of the word--he leads in integrity, character, and service to his country. Though not running for president right now, he is involved in leading the Democrats towards the values we once used to hold dear--standing up for working class and poor families, ending the corruption in our government, and having the government work for the people, not the corporations.

Right now, John and Elizabeth are involved in the Iraq/Recession Campaign, and in getting more progressives elected to Congress. They are truly dedicated to serving their country and making it a better world for us all.

Right. You'd prefer a candidate who never admitted making a mistake. Someone like Dubya.
Yes, I think a lot of people care what Edwards has to say. He's an extremely bright guy, a good guy, and anything but an empty suit. You're either not listening or incapable of comprehending what you hear.

Re: Carville, Edwards to talk to Young Dems

I care a great deal about what John Edwards has to say. Obviously so do Obama and Clinton.

I hope he does not endorse. Why should he support either one of those children.

The big news here should be John Edwards to speak to young Dems. Who better. Oh yeah, James Carville is big in the news now.
He is no role model.

As an Edwards supporter, I am baffled by his remaining neutral and keeping alive the rumor that he may support Clinton, whose motives for trying to get nominated seem alien to what propelled Edwards to run for the nomination. Like some others, I am repelled by the possibility of his endorsing Clinton. For many of us the choice before Edwards dropped out was either Edwards or Obama, so alike in their compassionate, non-oppotunistic views and commitments. An 86 year-old non-crank who distrusts but does not hate Hillary Clinton, I would hate to lose trust in John and Elizabeth Edwards.

Does anyone really care what Edwards has to say? I'm sure whatever he says will be recanted and regretted a few years later just like his few votes he made in the senate. Empty suit.
