Democrats: You Can Never Hate Them Nearly as Much as They Hate You

@rsmccain thank you sir! — David Limbaugh (@DavidLimbaugh) January 22, 2013 Last night, I saw a post at an anti-Palin blog that had more than 200 vitriolic comments about the woman they called “the Creature from Lake Lucille.” More than four years after Sarah Palin was the Republican vice-presidential candidate, she still inspires frothing rage […]

Our Long National Nightmare Is Over

By which, of course, I mean Monday. It’s now 12:01 a.m. ET Tuesday, and so I kept my vow not to say a word about Re-Coronation Day. Others who chronicled the event now have stains on their pants from the orgasmic gush. Chris Matthews emitted his usual effusion of idiocy, and over on the Third-Place […]

Should @TedNugent And The NRA Just Morph Into A Political Party?

by Smitty His Tedness remains quintessentially American: My point here is: The GOP seems kinda feckless. Political parties ain’t beanbag. The NRA offers great depth, if not breadth.

Friday News Dump: D.C. Won’t Prosecute David Gregory’s Clear Violation of Law

District of Columbia Attorney General Irvin Nathan won’t prosecute David Gregory “despite the clarity of the violation of this important law” — the city’s ban on high-capacity magazines — and as Professor Glenn Reynolds says, “you can tell how proud they are of this decision by the fact that it came out on a Friday […]

A Lesson from Lindsay Lohan

Last weekend I remarked that I’ve had several long conversations with Ali Akbar about plans for his Viral Read news site. One of the things I’ve repeatedly stressed is how important it is in the news business to be task-oriented and mission-focused. People must be judged strictly on their ability to get the job done. It […]

Leave Brent Musberger Alone!

Katherine Webb: Not bad to look at, despite attending Auburn. If he needs a Chris Crocker, I’ll step up to defend the ESPN announcer who — while Alabama was dismantling Notre Dame in the BCS game — felt obliged to report the Neutral Objective Facts: “You see that lovely lady there, she does go to […]
