Delaware Fever: Catch It!

OK, how crazy has the Delaware GOP Senate primary gotten? Crazy enough that it prompted one ill-informed reader to send Michelle Malkin an e-mail accusing her of supporting Mike Castle and — wait for it — also saying that Allahpundit is her husband. Never mind the absurdity of that last one. The ill-informed reader’s assertion […]

A Fine Point Of Correction For Thrasymachus

by Smitty Over on the Meghan McCain appreciation thread, Thrasymachus offers the following: Meghan is a juvenile egomaniac and attention whore, just like her father. Sir, there is a difference between juvenile and Juvenal, whose birthday roughly equates to that of Meghan’s father. Subtle, I know. Anyway, back to the video editing. Come back in […]

Why Christine O’Donnell Is Surging: Three Ads From Tea Party Express

O’Donnell’s unexpected last-minute surge in the Delaware GOP Senate primary has caught some people flat-footed. How did this happen? It’s simple: For the first time, RINO Mike Castle is being called to account for his record with a series of hard-hitting ads (two on TV and one on radio) from the Tea Party Express: Let’s […]

Hey, Has Anybody Else Noticed That Meghan McCain Is Intensely Stupid?

Momma Grizzly-1, Terminator-0

by Smitty (via Twitter, source scrolled away) The Governator tried to talk Twitter trash about being unable to see Russia while flying over Alaska, and got beaten down. In other Sarah news, the Beck visit seems to be a pure 9/11 remembrance. But could Beck have some deeper, proselytizing plot? Will they both convert to […]

Sarah Palin’s Biggest Gamble

Following up on the earlier post about Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Christine O’Donnell, I have spoken to a few sources, one of whom described this as “the longest of long shots,” a decision based not on political calculation but as a matter of “pure principle.” Another source pointed out that Rush Limbaugh might have had an influence, […]

PALIN ENDORSES O’DONNELL!

MIRACLE! Dave Weigel reports that Sarah Palin just called into Sean Hannity‘s radio show to officially endorse Christine O’Donnell in the Delaware GOP Senate primary. Answered prayer! Is it too little, too late? UPDATE: From O’Donnell’s Twitter feed: UPDATE II: Matt Lewis notes: “So far, Palin has not commented on her Facebook page or Twitter […]

A Smear Too Far

In “How to Write an Anti-Palin Hit Piece,” I quoted a source who described the cheap-and-easy method by which reporters get those “anonymous sources” to provide them with fodder for their stories. Vanity Fair‘s Michael Gross today lashed out at his critics and claimed, among other things, that Gina Loudon is lying about him. That’s […]
