Sean Hannity Flummoxed By Michelle Malkin

by Smitty At American Power: South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley Endorses Mitt Romney Well, what’s amazing is Nikki Haley is touted as a “tea party favorite.” But Michelle Malkin calls Romney a progressive at the video.

Christopher Hitchens, R.I.P.

A brilliant mind: Christopher Hitchens, a slashing polemicist in the tradition of Thomas Paine and George Orwell who trained his sights on targets as various as Henry Kissinger, the British monarchy and Mother Teresa, wrote a best-seller attacking religious belief, and dismayed his former comrades on the left by enthusiastically supporting the American-led war in […]

Responsible Elite In ‘A Face In The Crowd’

by Smitty At the suggestion of Ladd Ehlinger, I took in A Face in the Crowd, a 1957 Kazan flick that is well worth your time. ‘Lonesome’ Rhodes goes from nowhere to national stardom.

Here is Rick Santorum talking to Stephen K. Bannon, producer of the Sarah Palin documentary The Undefeated, about Palin’s praise for Santorum last week: If some of our readers would care to transcribe this interview in the comments, I’d appreciate it.

Rush Nails It On The Craven GOP

by Smitty Rush Limbaugh went ballistic about both the Obama 06Dec speech, and the corresponding spinelessness of the GOP in refusing to attack #OccupyResoluteDesk. Of local note is the Timmy Kaine run for Senate. Face it: rather than gearing up for the next concession speech in 2012, the GOP needs to take this class warfare […]

Rick Santorum: Praise by Sarah Palin ‘Absolutely Critical’ to His Money Surge

When Sarah Palin singled out Rick Santorum for praise last week during her appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program, she got a lot of people’s attention. Danny Yadron of the Wall Street Journal and Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review took notice, as did America’s leading practicioner of Neutral Objective Journalism. Far more important, however, […]
