"I want to get out with the people."

Credit where it’s due: Rarely will you see a crap sandwich devoured with the sort of gusto displayed in the video below. If prior media reports are accurate, this is not a guy who’s reacted well in the past to seeing his profile at MSNBC lowered. Last November, when the whispering began that he’d soon [...]

Badge of honor.

As we heard in President Obama’s recent interview with TNR, the White House’s irritation with FOX News and rightward-leaning media outlets continues unabated — but as Charles Krauthammer pointed out last night, that should be more of a source of pride than anything else. Nothing says success quite like your competition’s outspoken annoyance:   Watch [...]

Mm hmm.

Via Mediaite, I thought the public editor was the one person at the Times deputized to acknowledge the plain fact that yes, the paper is indeed overwhelmingly, glaringly liberal. Two of Sullivan’s predecessors went even further than that and actually accused the Times of letting its “coverage” of certain issues turn into out-and-out cheerleading for [...]

Unleashed.

President Barack Obama’s second inaugural address was the most liberal speech he has delivered as president — a blunt summons to wage war on poverty, defend entitlements for the middle class, end “perpetual war” overseas and move past the calibrated progressive agenda of his first term. Gone were the pleas for bipartisanship of his first [...]

"I would never call a redneck a name."

So oblivious are the subjects here to the joke that it’s hard to believe they’re not in on it, although admittedly TDS has always had a knack for finding people like that. (Or for editing them to seem that way?) I’m happy to grant Stewart et al. the benefit of the doubt and assume that [...]

Change.

I can’t believe anyone’s grumbling at this kid for switching sides. He’s 17. His political path will take some turns on the way to adulthood; most people’s paths do. We had some fun with his big splash at CPAC but it was clear enough that he was doing shtick, albeit shtick at an especially precocious [...]

Hmmmm.

Wish I had time tonight to read through this study myself, but since I don’t, I’m trusting BuzzFeed’s summary. Nothing surprising here, though. A Gallup poll taken last year at this time found Democrats nearly 10 points more likely than Republicans to say they wouldn’t vote for a Mormon for president. The big question: Is [...]

Tone.

Based on Twitter reaction, I’m going to guess no. But he’s speaking rhetorically here, of course. The point isn’t to ask for an apology that’ll never come, it’s to remind the left that they were the ones who framed this as an argument over who really speaks for “the people.” Last night, that argument was [...]

"I never have believed that Jesus Christ would approve of abortions."

Skip to 13:20 of the clip for the key bit. Dude, second look at– No. I can’t bring myself to say it. “I never have believed that Jesus Christ would approve of abortions and that was one of the problems I had when I was president, having to uphold Roe v. Wade. And I did [...]

CINO?

We should get him a Hot Air comment account. He’d fit right in! “No, they don’t know,” Santorum said today on the Jack Riccardi radio show when asked if Iowa voters “know” that Christie is a “big liberal Republican,” as the guest host phrased it. “I like Chris, I’ve known Chris for years — he’s [...]
