Oh, the humanity.

Plenty of outrage coming from Twitter about this and other instances of media speculation in the wake of the multiple explosions in Boston today, and it’s worth discussing separately from Allahpundit’s excellent tracking post on the main story. Wolf Blitzer is covering the story for CNN at its headquarters, and he filled the time by [...]

Yes.

Things that could have been brought to our attention….three years ago! This segment is a bit myopic, dealing mostly with whether Sec. Kathleen Sebelius said this (yes, she did) and one study that shows costs going up. But it’s decent as far as it goes, and we could have used a whole lot more such [...]

Endgame.

And so, at long last, American media reaches peak moron. I’m just thankful that Newsbusters was there to capture it. They’ve waited years for this moment and now, finally, it’s here. Cherish it, guys. CNN’s excuse? Satire, of course. The sort of satire for which CNN is world renowned. “We are joking, it was a [...]

55 and over.

Guy Benson did a nice job of writing this up but really, there’s no comment necessary. The clips speak for themselves. Job one for Democrats: Lie your ass off in the interest of convincing seniors that Romney and Ryan are prepared to reduce Medicare benefits for everyone, regardless of age, instead of exempting people aged [...]

Plus: More Burton bumbling.

As they say, it’s not the disgusting Mitt-murder ad that gets you. It’s the disgusting Mitt-murder ad cover-up. Mika does not approve. Allow Allahpundit to walk you through what the Obama campaign knew when. Short version: I’m Stephanie Cutter and I know nothing about this guy and his story, and it’d really make things easier [...]

More incompetence from Team Obama.

Hey, one Presidential candidate cared enough about the African-American vote to show up to the NAACP’s annual convention in this election year.  Too bad it wasn’t the Democrat.  Wolf Blitzer delivered a scolding to Barack Obama for skipping the convention, especially after Mitt Romney’s standing-in-the-lion’s-den speech reaffirming his commitment to improving the lives of all [...]

"Donald, Donald, you’re beginning to sound a little ridiculous."

Does anyone care? Ed and I have written endless posts about how stupid we think Birtherism is, but in the end is anyone going to vote for or against Romney because of this sideshow? My strong suspicion is that those who care enough about the birth certificate to think of it on election day already [...]

Heart-ache.

Via Greg Hengler, skip to 2:25 for my very favorite moment from this entire daylong clusterfark. Media firestorms come and go, my friends, but how often do they involve hostage-video apologies to the camera by the transgressor? When she was done, I half-expected him to say, “I didn’t see any tears.” Note to Ann Romney: [...]

“There will come a morning people won’t take him as a serious person.”

Via Mediaite, not the only case of a Republican hitting Paul hard today. Santorum’s been attacking him on his foreign policy, his age, and his track record on legislation, saying, “Show me one bill he’s passed in Congress. He’s been there 20 years.” The joke’s on you, Rick: He has passed one. Exactly one. The [...]

Congress counts.

A logical question, right? After all, Bill Clinton presided over a balanced budget and cut the rate of the growth of government. (Note: Cutting the rate of growth is still not shrinking the government.) Clinton was more than willing to roll with the question, that’s for sure, responding with this: “I thought I should have [...]

"Watching Anthony Weiner's twitter and press blitz is like watching a Charlie Sheen meltdown."

He’s melting down so fast, in so many ways, that I could have headlined this post with four or five different soundbites. I almost went with Wolf Blitzer asking him whether those were, in fact, his underpants in the photo — yes, he really did ask him that — but hey, we’re all about cutting [...]
