Hey, Howard Kurtz: Any Anonymous Fox News Employees Dissing Geraldo Rivera?

Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post had a column yesterday in which he allowed anonymous Fox News employees to portray Glenn Beck as a liability to the network who “undermines their credibility.” To which I responded at the Hot Air Green Room: OK, so Beck can be wrong and when he’s wrong, it looks bad for […]

Rep. Jim Jordan Speaks Out Against ObamaCare 2.0, Defends Tea Party

Philip Klein of the American Spectator reports: The House Budget Committee has voted down a Republican motion in support of the abortion language favored by Rep. Bart Stupak on a 19 to 17 vote, with three Democrats voting in favor of it. . . . Rep. Jim Jordan offered the motion for Republicans . . […]

Palate Cleansers

Relieving the putrid aftertaste of Zombie Health Care blogging. Tax Prof Blog : Hitler: A law professor — just like Glenn Reynolds! Rielle Hunter in GQ and the secret John Edwards sex-tape details. And if that’s not enough to cleanse your palate, via the ever-reliable Bob Belvedere, we bring you

Yes, it’s upsetting that Andrew Sullivan . . . has become an anti-Israel propagandist. But it’s not my […]

Disillusioned by the political equivalent of insider trading, some idealistic Republicans are tempted to walk away from active participation in GOP politics, which would leave the party infrastructure […]

Introducing ObamaCare 2.0: The 2,309-Page Scam That Will Live in Infamy

Philip Klein of the American Spectator: Shortly before midnight on Sunday, Democrats released a 2,309 page health care bill that will start the process of reconciliation — but don’t let that fool you, it’s not the actual reconciliation bill with all the changes you’ve been reading about.

‘Joey, Do You Like Movies About Gladiators?’

Peter Graves is dead at age 83 and it’s odd that, despite his signature role as James Phelps, leader of the “Mission: Impossible” team, all I can think of is his later comic role as Capt.
