I like National Review Online. I've met Ramesh Ponnuru and he's a great guy. But yesterday they they did something evil. In promoting a John J. Miller article reviewing Sen. Barbara Boxer's new novel (it's best used when you run out of toilet paper), they ran this piece of promo art. Simply said, this graphic […]
A couple of links for those with a continuing interest in the truth. The White House came out today with a point-by-point refutation of the New York Times editorial I took a whack at earlier today. I'm quickly becoming convinced that there isn't a single honest liberal on the Times editorial board. Honest liberals do […]
I'd like to thank the people of Georgia for the gift that just keeps on giving.
Drudge is reporting that DNC Chairman Howard Dean refused to appear alongside his RNC counterpart Ken Mehlman on this morning's "Meet the Press" on NBC. As Drudge points out, such heads-up interviews have been common in the past, with Dean's predecessor doing it five times -- just on "Meet the Press"! Which brings up the […]
Whenever it's suggested that something one of our liberal elected officials says or does would hurt the troops overseas or America as a nation -- their patriotism is being questioned. They immediately get indignant, then outraged. This happened repeatedly during the 2004 presidential campaign, and continues today. Earlier today, when the House GOP imploded on […]
I must confess that I'm a little bit mystified why Democrats are so concerned about who President Bush's political staff are. New York Sen. Chuck Schumer was on "Fox News Sunday" this morning urging the president to fire Karl Rove and others so that he could "move forward." This is a new side to Chuck […]
The mainstream media is lying about Nadagate and it knows it. Some could argue that it is incompetence, but I'm going to go with lying. Today's Exhibit A is Fox News pundit and NPR "reporter" Juan Williams. During the roundtable discussion on "Fox News Sunday," Brit Hume again tried -- and failed -- to educate […]
Let's play a little Jeopardy! Answer: Roy Neel and Ron Klaine. Question: Who were two of Vice President Al Gore's chiefs of staff? Never heard of them before, huh? Is the loss of the chief of staff of the vice president really a heavy blow to the presidency? If you were to list the people […]
From James' Taranto's "Best of the Web Today" over at OpinionJournal.com, we have these gems from the same speech by Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry. "When they [the Bush administration] could have listened to General Shinseki and put in enough troops to maintain order, they chose not to. They were wrong." "General George Casey, our top […]
And his name is Lawrence B. Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. IN PRESIDENT BUSH'S first term, some of the most important decisions about U.S. national security — including vital decisions about postwar Iraq — were made by a secretive, little-known cabal. It was made up of a very small […]
