A newspaper ad attacking Gen. David Patraeus leaves Republicans fuming and Democrats squirming.

The ad, produced and paid for by the liberal activist group MoveOn.Org calls Patraeus “General Betray Us” and leaves a sour taste in the mouths of both proponents and opponents of President George W. Bush’s failed war in Iraq.

Democrats worry that the ad will turn Americans against them because it attacks the man leading soldiers who are fighting in the field. Republicans see it as a chance to question the patriotism of opponents of the war.

Back when Sen. Hillary Clinton was searching for a campaign song for her Presidential run she should have considered the Who’s Who Are You?

Not knowing, or at least claiming not to know, the backgrounds of some of the people who raise money for her campaign has, once again, bitten a Clinton in the butt.

So Hillary is returning $850,000 on campaign donations brought in by Norman Hsu, a criminal on the lam recently nabbed in Colorado.

Mitt Romney may claim to be a strait-laced Mormon who doesn’t get down and dirty in politics but that doesn’t stop him from surrounding himself with political tricksters.

First it was the longtime aide who posed a cop and pulled over a reporter following the candidate’s caravan. Then it was Larry Craig and his “wide stance” problem in the airport bathroom.

Now it’s a top adviser putting together an anti-Fred Thompson web site.
