‘Keith [Olbermann] Tended to Wear Out His Welcome at Stations and Networks’

So says Pat Sajak, who played midwife in the Rosemary’s Baby tale of Olbermann’s career by giving him his first network TV appearance in 1989:

Patterico’s Latest Gambit: Trying to Pit Michelle Malkin Against Mark Levin?

More unfortunate fallout today from the Delaware Senate campaign, a subject about which I know a lot but have said relatively little in recent weeks. To explain my side of the story: From early October onward, I tried to turn my attention (and readers’ attention) to House races. The Senate campaigns were getting plenty of coverage […]

Michelle Malkin Unloads Both Barrels on Gerson, Rove and the GOP Establishment

It’s kind of hard to paraphrase, so please go read the whole thing. She’s just a natural-born hell-raiser. Going back to the 2006 fight over the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, Malkin has always sided with the grassroots against the establishment. She opposed the whole neo-Keynesian stimulus-and-bailout agenda from the very get-go, back in early 2008, before anybody […]

Report: Keith Olbermann Refuses to Apologize for Giving Money to Democrats and Looking at Demi Lovato Bikini Pics

But mainly it was the giving-money-to-Democrats thing: Network sources tell Playbook that Keith Olbermann was suspended because he refused to deliver an on-camera mea culpa, which would have allowed him to continue anchoring “Countdown.” Olbermann told his bosses he didn’t know he was barred from making campaign contributions, although he is resisting saying that publicly.

I May Have Reached A Peggy Noonan Diagnosis

This Is Exactly The Kind Of Sophomoric Stuff We Don’t Need

by Smitty (h/t Tabitha on Twitter) Just because conservatives did well Tuesday, there is no need for foolish triumphalism. We shouldn’t just go on an on about the trophies. And, really, isn’t all the taunting laughter beneath the dignity of our political process? How are we going to find common ground; moderate; achieve consensus; restore […]

Alyssa Milano Explains Your Choice: Talk to Your Parents About the First Time They Had Sex — or Get Out and Vote!

Of course, these kind of get-out-the-vote ads are intended to persuade clueless liberal college kids to vote, assuming that at least two-thirds of them will vote for Democrats. But it’s Alyssa Milano, and there’s no such thing as bad Alyssa Milano: 10 Minutes from Alyssa Milano UPDATE: All the cool kids in California are voting […]

Old School in the New Media: Crime, Scandal & Alyssa Milano Lesbian Kiss

“When I was a kid reporter at the LA Times in the 1960s, some of the veteran photographers and reporters regaled me with tales of how they used to sit in their cars with motors running, radios tuned to the police band, so they could be first on the scene of a gangland slaying or […]
