We need leaders. Your hope is childish. Grow up.

It's payback time and Democrats will enjoy it.

Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice Face Off in Novel to Be Released May 1
Monday April 25, 2:17 pm ET

RICHMOND, Va., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Described as "a wildly tension- filled novel right up to the suspenseful end" by the prestigious MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, a thriller called THE COLOR OF DEMONS, set in a future presidential election campaign, will be released May 1. Opposing candidates are modeled after Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice.

Co-author Stephen Hawley Martin explained why the two were chosen by saying, "Few things excite the hearts and minds of the thinking and reading public as a presidential campaign, so when my brother and I decided to collaborate on what we hoped would be a page-turner, we paired up the most scintillating candidates we could think of." Martin's previous novels have made him the only two-time winner of the WRITER'S DIGEST BOOK AWARD. One of his prizewinning works is being made into a motion picture, and he is also the recipient of First Prize for Visionary Fiction from Independent Publisher.

The Martin brothers started writing THE COLOR OF DEMONS a year ago. Co- author David Nathan Martin remarked that it is interesting to see what they prognosticated then may actually come to pass, adding, "There are already rumblings of a draft Condoleezza movement, but we're not surprised. Who better to put up to oppose Senator Clinton? John Kerry got 54 percent of his vote from three groups: African-Americans, Hispanics and single white women. Rice would cut deeply into these constituencies so a run between the two would likely be a real horse race." David Martin is the author of a popular whodunit, UNDER A LEMON MOON, and has written two best-selling books on marketing communications. He is the founder of The Martin Agency, an internationally-known advertising agency boasting such high-profile accounts as UPS, Olympus, NASCAR and GEICO Auto Insurance.

THE COLOR OF DEMONS also features a stepped up war on terror and postulates the shadowy threat of spirit possession. "No doubt about it, it's a pot boiler," Stephen Martin said. "But we don't think you'll find a more compelling read for a day at the beach."

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED APRIL 27, 2005 18:02:35 ET XXXXX

AIR AMERICA RADIO INVESTIGATED AFTER BUSH 'GUNSHOTS'

The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening -- a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!

The announcer: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."

The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show.

"What is with all the killing?" Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.

"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio... we are taking this very seriously," a government source explained.

White House Spokesman Scott McClellan called the clip "very inappropriate and over the line."

AIR AMERICA President of Programming and co-COO Jon Sinton said in a release: "We regret that a produced comedy bit that was in bad taste slipped through our normal vetting process. We do acknowledge that it was an internal error and internal discipline will be enforced."

Rhodes apologized for the skit on her show today. "It was a bit,” Rhodes said. “It was bad. I apologize a thousand times."

[A Randi Rhodes Fan site is offering an mp3 of the broadcast.]

Is that what you Democraps are all about Kennyboy Philllipppps? payback??? Maybe you should start with Chappy Kennedy paying back with his life for the woman he murdered in the river...or maybe it is time Kerry paid back the vets for his Jane Fonda like antics during the war, just so he could get a little press. How about ALL the people that have bitten the bullet for Hillary and Bill? Maybe it is time Hillary pay us back by either retiring or going to jail where she belongs?
