President Clinton's former hatchet-man, Sidney Blumenthal, comes out swinging in defense of Dan Rather and his laughable lawsuit in this article over at Salon.com. You don't need to read past the third paragraph of the story to see the return of "fake but accurate." In making his case, Rather will certainly establish beyond reasonable doubt […]
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas got an amendment voted on Thursday that pitted Democrats against one of their biggest advocacy groups: MoveOn.org. It wasn't like this was an easy call for most Democrats. It wasn't MoveOn.org vs. the National Rifle Association or the Federalist Society. It was MoveOn.org vs. a highly respected, unanimously confirmed, highly […]
Actress Sally Field won something for some show no one really watches at some awards show last night. Upon receiving her meaningless award, she had the following to say: "If the mothers ruled the world, there would be no g--damned wars in the first place," said Field, trying to recover her train of thought while […]
Instapundit Glenn Reynolds noted yesterday that Colorado Democrat Sen. Ken Salazar had done what he characterized as the "world's quietest Sister Souljah moment," when he denounced the MoveOn.org "General Betray Us" ad to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, circulation 30,000. This prompted a missive from Gary Harmon of the Daily Sentinel: Prof. Reynolds: Here I […]
Earlier this summer, several people died when a heavily trafficked bridge in Minnesota suddenly collapsed in the middle of the afternoon commute. It didn't take long for certain politicians with more outrage than propriety demand that we spend more money on infrastructure, especially bridges. We were lectured that we didn't really care about the danger […]
No, I'm not sure exactly what the headline on this post means. It just has a certain feeling to it. Maybe it's because of the sound a bag of hammers makes when you drop it on the floor -- or swing it and hit California Sen. Barbara Boxer in the head. This would mean that […]
It should come as no surprise that the New York Times editorial page would toe the left-liberal party line that Gen. David Petraeus is a liar. However, if you're supportive of the troops and their mission in Iraq, then the editorial board invites you to barge in on their editorial meetings and be heard. When […]
You can see a full size PDF of today's MoveOn.org ad in today's New York Times by clicking on the accompanying image. I've got to say that this is probably the most disgusting piece of political hackery since Grover Cleveland had to endure taunts of "Ma, Ma, where's my pa? Gone to the White House. […]
This is disgusting. “No one wants to call [Gen. David Petraeus] a liar on national TV,” noted one Democratic senator, who spoke on the condition on anonymity. “The expectation is that the outside groups will do this for us.” Seeing as how I'm in the tarring-and-feathering mood. This anonymous senator should have the guts to […]
We're getting to the point where "congressman" and "crook" will be listed as synonyms in Roget's Thesaurus. This corruption spans both chambers of Congress and crosses the aisle. However there does appear to be a common thread running through all of them -- the more seniority, and more power politicians gain, the more likely they […]
