THE BUZZ

The Kansas City Star reports on the buzz surrounding several candidates:

Saluting Maj. Silliness
“Hillary Clinton, I think when she heard the words ‘private sector,’ she thinks that it’s someone in the Army,” said Mitt Romney, trying a new line.

This, from a preacher?
Mike Huckabee says HRC left lipstick stains on a billionaire backer of Moveon.org.“If you can’t get your lips off the backside of George Soros long enough to use those lips to say it’s wrong to declare a sitting general … guilty of treason, how would you ever expect to have the support of the very military you might have to send into deadly battle?”

Hunting F. Thompson
Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi calls Fred Thompson “a human snooze button, campaigning badly for the head-in-the-sand vote. … It’s only after you run into this lobotomy act 10 or 11 times that you start to see
the dark essence.”

Come on, Mike (Bloomberg), play along, huh?
Rudy Giuliani told the NRA his old lawsuit against gun makers had “taken several turns and several twists that I don’t agree with.”“Not changed at all,” says current Mayor Mike Bloomberg. “We believe that it’s a good case, and we hope to win it.”

$9.11? Pretty cheap
Giuliani’s camp called it unfortunate that a California fundraiser for him was charging $9.11 a head.
