Mmmmmm. He must be under some pressure. The video is here, but this is the official transcript: HENRY: And the "Strategy Session" continues on INSIDE POLITICS. Still here: James Carville and Robert Novak. Katherine Harris made a name for her self during the Florida recount in the 2000 presidential race. She was then Florida’s secretary of state. She went on … Read More
Conservative Blog Taxonomy
Fables of the Reconstruction, where have you been hiding? My first foray to that fine site yielded this gem — a primer on the prominent wingers of the right-wing blogosphere: 1. Instapundit – Calling Glenn Reynolds intellectually lazy would be to praise him. He doesn’t write, he grunts. Has gained prominence by posting a lot and never making his audience … Read More
Fox News Hates America
And Oliver Willis has the video to prove it: FOX News anchor John Gibson just said onair that he thought Karl Rove deserves a medal if he outed Valerie Plame. Let me repeat: John Gibson, anchor at the FOX News Channel, says he believes that we ought to expose our covert government agents and harm national security… as long as … Read More
Moral Clarity vs Factual Clarity
Matt Yglesius says what I have been thinking for a long time. The reason why the right is inept at fighting the war on terror is because they simply have no interest in accurately surmising the driving force behind our enemies. Instead, the right just wants to paint the bad guys with broad brushes, and ignore the nuances of their … Read More
Washington Nationals and George Soros
Just another sign that some Republicans are so anti-progressive that they abandon every notion of common sense. The latest outrage from the right? They’re upset because billionaire and progressive-cause-supporter George Soros wants to be a part-owner of the MLB baseball team, the Washington Nationals. Rep. Thomas David (R-Va) issued a veiled threat to Major League Baseball, suggesting that if Soros … Read More
Lying Liars (Drudge/Klein Version)
This is a picture of Bill Clinton kissing an unidentified woman. It appears on Drudge’s site exactly as I show it below. Drudge’s text is about the new Hillary Clinton book and carries the headline “BOOK CLAIM: HILLARY HUMILIATED AS BILL HAS NEW AFFAIRS”, and it seems that this photo appears in the piece-of-shit book as well. The photo is … Read More
Tomlinson – Partisan Liar
From the New York Times: Sixteen Democratic senators called on President Bush to remove Kenneth Y. Tomlinson as head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting because of their concerns that he is injecting partisan politics into public radio and television. Some will no doubt say that Tomlinson is trying to REMOVE partisan politics from public radio and television, because PBS … Read More
What TBogg Says
His language may be strong, and his analysis somewhat oversimplistic, but if you can see past it, I think he’s drawn a pretty good bead on the right wingers. Reflecting on Durbin’s non-apology for pointing out torture, TBogg writes: Every time the chickenhawks endorse torture they make it more dangerous for American service people. Do they care? Not really. They … Read More
Rush on Durbin
Now actually being compelled to confront what Durbin actually said on the Senate floor, the wingnuts are starting the meme that the FBI memo that Durbin read from . . . is . . . wait for it . . . fabricated. That’s right. Durbin simply made it up, according to the desparate wingers. From the June 17 broadcast of … Read More
AssHat Gets Stymied – Declares Victory
John, from Powerline, takes a stand: I called Senator Dick Durbin’s office this morning at (202) 224-2152 and, after being on hold for a while, laid out the reasons why I think Durbin should resign from the Senate. “Hi. This is John Hindrocket from Powerline, the Blog of the Century. You may remember me as the guy who calls Jimmy … Read More
LGF’s Premature Ejaculation
The Little Green Footballs post: Is British reporter Michael Smith, who broke the Downing Street memo story (after re-typing and destroying the originals), the same Michael Smith who was hired by Mary Mapes as a CBS assistant producer in the Rathergate scandal? You can almost hear the ohpleaseGodletitbetrueohohohohpleasebetrue-ohpleaseimgonnacumiswearimgonnacumohpleaseletitbetrue breathlessness behind their words. Sadly, the answer is no. Not surprising speculation … Read More
Media Bias
A pregnant mother in California goes missing in 2002, and foul play is suspected. Months later, her body turns up in a San Francisco harbor. Laci Peterson? Wrong. Her name is Evelyn Hernandez. A young attractive woman from the South goes missing. Natalee Holloway? Nope. Her name is Tamika Huston. Never heard of Evelyn Hernandez and Tamika Huston? Of course … Read More
Michelle’s Odd Sense Of Humor
Perpetually-outraged internment-loving blogger Michelle Malkin recently posted this blog entry, entitled "Terrorists Heart The French", which I reprint in its entirety: Terrorist farewell gifts for a recently released French kidnapping victim: Two rings and a bottle of perfume. I guess Michelle’s point is that terrorists and the French are cut from the same cloth, peas-in-a-pod, kindred spirits, gift-giving bosom buddies, … Read More
Cox & Forkum Embarassment Watch
From their rant about the new Ground zero memorial complex, I’ll start with a moronic gaffe to demonstrate their ignorance: Keep in mind the context here: the “Guantanamo is a gulag” ACLU and other leftists groups are involved in the memorial. Uh, guys. That’s Amnesty International. Two entirely different bodies. But then they REALLY step in it: In fact, the … Read More
If Dan Rather Had Done This…
Perspectives has exposed Bill O’Reilly for the lying fraud that he is. Specifically, O’Reilly creatively edited an interview with Joe Biden to make it seem like Biden had (to quote O’Reilly) “joined the abuse chorus and called for the shutting down of Guantanamo Bay”. Joe Biden said no such thing. The graphic below explains it all:
