Bill Kristol Insults Journalists, Pundits, Truth, Media, Out of Work Writers, the Presidential Race…

06Oct08

The New York Times should be ashamed of itself, and as wrong as Bill Kristol normally is on, well, everything, he should know better.
Kristol published an op-ed today which describes, disturbingly accurately, a “conversation” with Sarah Palin, which somehow, manages to match up almost word for word with this week’s GOP talking points. Kristol again [...]

Why Haven’t I Written For Six Days? I Can’t/Couldn’t Take it Anymore

16Sep08

John McCain and Sarah Palin have fired off more mini-anyeurisms in my brain than I’d ever like to mention to Joe Biden. Everytime I think I am at the peak of my outrage, one of the two comes out and says something so completely ridiculous that I think it has to end the race. Palin [...]

Ouch…

13Aug08

Truth hurts. I fear the worst about Hillary’s intentions for the DNC, but damn, I’m no Maureen Dowd. She took it to a new level in today’s piece. Now if only Dowd could go 100 words without calling Obama three different nicknames….
Obama also allowed Hillary supporters to insert an absurd statement into the platform suggesting [...]

The Republicans’ Leaky Asses

19Jul08

To have any chance of winning this election, John McCain is going to have to prove he is different from his predecessor GWB. Amazingly, McCain has stayed relatively close in polls (8 points is relatively good when the president has a 28% approval rating). Interestingly, Republicans have long considered themselves champions family values and morals, [...]

This is not a fair fight

11Jul08

Obama is up by about 8 points right now nationally. However, he has not been doing well amongst his base, due to his vote in favor of FISA (despite his vote for the amendments to take away telecom immunity), his statements about the death penalty, gun laws…anything that has made him look centrist. It must [...]

Sounds About Right

02Jul08

Over at Huff Po, Andy Borowitz more or less makes my point. The original link is here, reprinted below:
The liberal blogosphere was aflame today with new accusations that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) is trying to win the 2008 presidential election.
Suspicions about Sen. Obama’s true motives have been building over the past few weeks, but not [...]

Special Comment: It’s Called a Secret Strategy Because It’s a Secret!

01Jul08

It was a strange, and certainly ground breaking Special Comment on Countdown last night. Olbermann devoted it to criticizing Barack Obama over his support for the FISA bill.
OIbermann’s first criticism was that the Republicans are going to criticize Obama for being soft on terror regardless of his vote on FISA. That [...]

John Dickerson is Really Overplaying his Hand

16Jun08

Slate’s headline story today is the Hillary supporters that may or may not jump ship to McCain. John Dickerson, the political director, is especially concentrating on the female Clinton supporters who feel wronged by the system, and are cutting off their reproductive rights and self respect despite their faces to vote for a man that dumped his first wife after she [...]

Obama as Ryan Giggs

13Jun08

Some trouble is a-stirrin’ at HuffPo today, as Tom Edsall writes about Obama beginning to move from the left more to the political center (hence the Giggs comparison–I’m a nerd). Edsall’s argument  is based primarily in the staff he is hiring, which disappointingly includes Lawrence “before I was a blatant sexist I was named Larry” Summer, former president of Harvard.  While [...]
