You Should’ve Listened to Glenn Beck

Back in May, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) made himself political point-man for a left-wing attack on Goldline — which just coincidentally happens to be one of Glenn Beck’s few remaining advertisers. (Beck’s show is the No. 1 cable news program in its time slot, but has lost advertising revenue because of the Left’s vitriolic boycott […]

Demi Lovato’s Downward Spiral

Once you get dumped by Joe Jonas, you need something for the pain: She was doing line after line [of cocaine] like a pro — and she was 17 at the time. Let’s see: Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Demi Lovato . . . Is there an ex-Disney child star who hasn’t turned into a celebrity basket […]

‘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

by Smitty The continued descent of Peggy Noonan into abject silliness seems to parallel that of her Presidential Savior. I can’t sustain a full fisk, but the end of her latest post about the President, which could not resist a swipe at Governor Palin, merits a quick once-over with the bus, emphasis mine: Noonan Smith […]

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 […]
