Why Won’t Democrats Answer Questions About Kentucky Eavesdropping Scandal?

The minute I mentioned the scandal involving Progress Kentucky’s secret recording of Mitch McConnell, the lady on the phone at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said, “I’ll put you through to his voicemail” — meaning DSCC spokesman Justin Barasky, who didn’t return my call. Gee, I wonder why? The question of connections between Progress Kentucky […]

Mark Pryor: Reliably Unreliable

As much as conservatives hate RINOs, liberals hate “Blue Dog” Democrats like Sen. Mark Pryor, and I have a hard time convincing conservatives that they should hate Pryor as much as the Left does. Blue Dogs are majority-makers for Democrats, providing liberals with a tissue-thin pretext for pretending that the Democrats are not wholly controlled by far-left […]

If Obama Has Lost Garance …

Garance Franke-Ruta is a serious lefty writer, and also a friend of mine, and she gets all critical theory in analyzing President Obama’s declaration that Kamala Harris is the “best-looking attorney general,” saying that the president’s error was “in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of […]

Obama Hasn’t ‘Evolved’ That Far … Yet

Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services requested public comment on a proposal to provide taxpayer-funded sex-change surgery, but scrubbed the proposal off their Web site as soon as it was reported by news agencies.
