The Best Revenge: Ohio-Bound

By the time you read this, I should be within a couple hours of Lima, Ohio, where Paul Ryan is due for a 2:30 p.m. rally. Right now — as I’m writing this — it’s about 2 a.m. and I’m awaiting my ride while laughing at the latest ridiculousness from Neal Rauhauser: McCain has never […]

Separated At Birth: Dick Tracy / Robert Gibbs Edition

by Smitty I’m probably being unfair to Dick Tracy here, as he’s at least an honorable cartoon character, juxtaposing him with a cretin like Gibbs. Keep lying, Gibbs.

The media — with certain notable exceptions, she neglects to add — “seem to have taken their marching orders from the Obama administration” in their coverage of the terrorist attack that killed our ambassador to Libya: The fact is, most of the major media didn’t even wait for marching orders, but rather began their coverage […]
