Hillary Clinton Watch: 3 AM Ad Channels McCain?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M70emIFxETs[/youtube]
From the Hillary Clinton campaign: On March 4th, your vote will decide who will be in the White House to pick up the phone when it rings at 3 AM
Hillary Clinton’s latest campaign ad (above) asks an important question but channels a John McCain answer.
“It’s 3:00am and your children are asleep,” a voice over says in the ad. “There’s a phone in the White House, and it’s ringing. Something is happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call.”
“Whether someone knows the world’s leaders, knows the military, someone tested and ready to lead. It’s 3am and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?” the ad concludes.
Obama can push back all he wants but the ad is RIGHT ON POINT.
The answer is John McCain.

Mohammed Cartoon Watch: The Price of Notariety
One of the Mohammed cartoons that sparked riots last year throughout the Muslim world
The Wall Street Journal has a piece today (via Michelle Malkin) about the PRICE OF NOTARIETY experienced by Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.
Kurt Westergaard is in hiding from Islamic militants who want him dead. Now, the Danish cartoonist says he’s ready to part with the source of his travails, a small ink sketch of the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb in his turban.But first there is the ticklish question of price.”I would like to think that it has some value,” says Mr. Westergaard, the 72-year-old creator of one of the world’s most famous cartoons and one that inflamed Muslims world-wide. “It is a symbol of democracy and freedom of expression. I think I should have a little money for this,” he says.
But how do you fix the value of something that auction houses won’t touch, that museums won’t hang on their walls and that still inspires murderous passions?
What a price to pay! Hiding from Islamic militants for the rest of your life.
In the meantime, Denmark is retailiating against Sudan who earlier in the week initiated yet another boycott over the reprinted cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
Denmark said Thursday it will oppose any debt relief deal for Sudan in response to the Sudanese president’s comments urging the Muslim world to boycott Danish goods over the publication of a Prophet Muhammad cartoon.Interior Minister Ulla Toernaes said she summoned Sudan’s ambassador to Denmark to demand an explanation of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir’s comments a day earlier.Al-Bashir said Wednesday that he would bar Danes from Sudan and told tens of thousands of people at a government-backed rally in Khartoum that the Muslim world should boycott Denmark because of a cartoon reprinted recently in Danish newspapers.
So, is freedom of expression worth the price? And, who will pay?

Day By Day by Chris Muir February 29, 2008
Flap always laughs when so called conservative activists pronounce a certain pol NOT CONSERVATIVE because of a certain position on one issue or another. Looking back at Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley and Ronald Reagan, none of them were in LOCKSTEP agreement on EVERY issue.
Governor Reagan EVEN raised taxes and acquiesced to abortion rights in California.
So, discussions of who is a REAL conservative is foolish. Discussions of how candidates compare and contrast on specific issues is more relevant.
