The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

New York Times: ‘Media Colonoscopy’ of Palin E-Mails Was ‘Not a Witch Hunt’

Clay Waters at NewsBusters calls attention to an article by New York Times writer Jeremy Peters: The New York Times and The Guardian sent reporters armed with scanners and then solicited readers’ assistance. Politico enlisted a dozen editors, reporters and interns who worked as a team from their Northern Virginia newsroom “plowing through” the documents, as […]

The CNN Debate: Tokyo Survived

Having declared that the debate in Manchester, N.H., would result in Herman Cain stomping the other candidates “like Godzilla stomped Tokyo,” I’m now prepared to admit that the result was not quite so one-sided. However, I don’t get CNN at the house — some glitch in the cable service limits my choices to Fox and MSNBC […]

OUT: Real Gays. IN: Fake Lesbians.

They’re everywhere these days: Just one day after the author behind a popular Syrian lesbian blog admitted to being a married, American man named Tom MacMaster, the editor of the lesbian news site Lez Get Real, with the tag­line “A Gay Girl’s View on the World,” acknowledged that he is also a man. “Paula Brooks,” […]

Who’s Up for Some More Weiner?

I’m kind of Weinered out today, frankly, but I know readers expect their daily dose of Weiner updates, so here goes: Mickey Kaus has too much fun at the expense of Markos Moulitsas, Howard Kurtz and Jeffrey Toobin, who are apparently addicted to being wrong. Peter Beinart gets all preachy: “How many of the pundits mocking […]

Dave Weigel Interviews the Guy Who’s Going to Win the Big Debate Tonight

Go back and read my 2007 interview with Herman Cain: He’s been dealing with questions like this for years, and isn’t going […]

Barack Obama Has Got as Many NBA Championship Rings as Lebron James

Which is, of course, exactly zero. Bryan Preston points out that the president picked the Heat to win, so that the inerrant Obama Jinx remains in force. If Obama says “recovery,” bet on recession. If Obama says “peace,” bet on war.
