DNC pounces on Jeb Bush ‘mishearing’ Megyn Kelly question on Iraq

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Earlier this morning,Ā we wroteĀ that supporters/apologists for Jeb Bush might begin saying that he perhaps misheard the question about the Iraq war that Fox News Channel host Megyn Kelly asked him in an interview broadcast on Monday night. Now it’s actually happening. On Fox, Kelly asked in a very straightforward manner, “Knowing what we know now, would you have authorized the invasion?ā€ ā€œI would have, and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody,ā€ Bush said, ā€œand so would have…

in 2017/The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Mitch Perry Report for 4.17.16 — In search of where the GOP stands

in Top Headlines by

Happy Friday to you all. Greetings from Nashua, N.H., where the latest cattle call of GOP presidential aspirants and possibleĀ aspirants are congregating for the next two days. I’ve long criticized the way we elect presidents,Ā  putting so much emphasis — too much emphasis — on two states, Iowa and New Hampshire, to define who should be leading the free world.

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Love her or loath her, Hillary Clinton’s official presence in the 2016 presidential sweepstakes is a big deal. But does the political media class have to lose their collective sh*t in the process? It was sort of humorous to read that story the other day about how Mrs. Clinton’s delayed video release announcing her campaign on Sunday (it came after 3 p.m. when it was rumored to happen at noon) had affected the leisure schedules of so many reporters on…

They harbor…

Mitch Perry Report for 3.18.15 — No DWS, no problem. Right, Dems?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate next year, but hopefully that doesn’t “pave the way” for fellow South Florida Democratic U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy to become the groomed nominee in 2016. AsĀ a Tampa Bay-based political reporter, I have to admit knowing very little about Congressman Murphy — his philosophy, his temperament. Hell, even his voting record. Yes, there’s plenty of time to find out, but the Democratic Party really has to…
