The John McCain campaign has stepped up its attacks on The New York Times as nothing more than a partisan political rag. The latest salvo was fired earlier this week when campaign manager Steve Schmidt went after the Times in a conference call with the press. Let me - let me also add, on the, […]
Palin Derangement Syndrome is already so bad that now just looking like Gov. Sarah Palin is enough to earn you vicious attacks. It's been less than a month since Alaska governor Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain's running mate and was thrust into the national spotlight. Since then, news anchor Cindy Michaels, has been […]
Here's a little summary of the two candidates positions on abortion and stem cell research. Note: Barack Obama, Democratic senator from Illinois Supports most abortion rights. Favors allowing states to restrict late-term abortions. And if you go to ontheissues.org, you find out this is true enough if you're uniformed about the details of abortion law. […]
Video proof that Gibson's "Are we fighting a holy war?" question was perhaps the idiotic question to be asked of anyone this election season.
Last week, I pointed out that the Boston Globe had seemingly retracted 8-year-old reporting on Sen. John McCain's physical disabilities due to wounds suffered at the hands of the North Vietnamese in order not to contradict a new ad by Sen. Barack Obama's campaign portraying McCain as a luddite.

I'm not sure Howard Kurtz, who I generally respect, saw the same interview I saw. But when Palin seemed puzzled by a question about the Bush Doctrine -- which has several possible meanings -- Gibson explained what he meant without making it sound like a gotcha moment. There's an old journalistic (and false) axiom that […]
Late last week, Sen. Barack Obama's campaign took aim at Sen. John McCain, painting him as old and a luddite. The ad mocks McCain for not knowing how to use a computer or send an e-mail. Problem, the reason McCain doesn't use a computer is due to the fact that the most ubiquitous interface for […]
Via Patterico comes these videos comparing how ABC News reporter Charlie Gibson interviews a Democrat with little accomplishment running for president... ... versus how Gibson interviews a Republican governor who took on and took out a corrupt GOP governor and worked to reform state government... . There's a lot you can say about the disparate […]
Hat tip to Jonah Goldberg on this AP news story. Palin tries to defend qualifications in interview As Goldberg notes, we can have all sorts of fun with this: Headlines you won't see: Obama tries to defend his disturbing ties to criminals, terrorist, in interview. Biden tries to defend crazy ideas in interview. Associated Press […]
