In the previous post, I linked to a TMZ.com item that said Barack Obama might be sneaking the occasional cigarette. Now I have seen Jake Tapper’s blog post (one of the sources for the TMZ post I linked to), and it just drips with holier-than-thou hokum. It’s not the smoking, readers — it’s [...]
I have had no real preference among the Democratic candidates thus far, readers, and have said repeatedly that I don’t think it matters too much who gets the Democratic nomination. (I’ll happily support the Democratic candidate, no matter who it is.) I’ve said before that I think “electability” arguments are a waste of [...]
Remember a couple days ago I put up a link to a disgusting, jaw-droppingly-stupid article by MSNBC “media analyst” Steve Adubato? You know, the one in which Steve-O complains that Hillary won’t explain “exactly how Vince Foster died”?
Today, Bob Somerby of The Daily Howler has named Steve Adubato “Pundit of the Year” for his [...]
Exhibit A: The National Enquirer prints a nasty story about a “John Edwards Love Child Scandal!” Rush Limbaugh immediately rushes to the microphone to speculate that it’s a Clinton-campaign dirty trick. (Tomorrow, the Clinton campaign will arrange for the sun to rise in the east.)
Exhibit B: MSNBC “media analyst” Steve Adubato [...]
Who gives a damn about policy proposals? Who cares where presidential candidates stand on the issues? Apparently, what we’re really interested in is how they take their coffee, and what their coffee preferences might tell us (the voters, the American people) about our candidates’ “character and values.” Because, believe it or not, [...]
Good old Mark Noonan was all over himself with dire predictions of the “MSM” getting ready to “bury the story of the Iraq vote in the back pages.” That didn’t happen, but so what? Wacky Rush just went on ahead and pretended like that was what happened anyway!
Rush:
It — this is — this [...]
Mark Noonan at Blogs for Bush:
Methinks the MSM is preparing to bury the story of the Iraq vote in the back pages…
Washington Post, Sunday 16 October 2005, Page A1:
“Sunni Turnout Is High In Vote on Iraqi Charter”
“In a Sunni Quarter, A Day of Emotion”
New York Times, Sunday 16 October 2005, front page:
“Turnout Is Mixed as [...]
Both sides are pissed at the New York Times today.
From the right, Captain Ed is angry at a report that appeared on Drudge which claims the Times is “looking into the adoption records of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts”:
[Captain Ed:] The Times should confine their interest to points germane to [...]
Michelle Malkin’s pretty pissed about a very stupid article that appeared in the Style section of today’s Post. The article, by Robin Givhan, made fun of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, and his family, for wearing pastel colors and looking clean-cut. Make no mistake, it was a stupid, snarky article, all too sadly [...]
On the op-ed page of the New York Times, the hijinks just won’t stop. The execrable Sarah Vowell continues to make us look back on the work of the execrable Maureen Dowd with something approaching nostalgia. Today she’s decided to reach out to Middle America with a display of Blue-State Values:
[At the Texas [...]
