Newt Gingrich Wins Coveted GOP Primary Endorsement From … Bill Clinton?
All the wrong people are saying nice things about Newt: “He’s articulate and he tries to think of a conservative version of an idea that will solve a legitimate problem,” Clinton said, by way of explaining the Gingrich resurgence. Jonah Goldberg sees “omens that World Historical Newt is returning to the scene.” Some people haven’t […]
Ezra Klein: The Wetness At Your Ankle Is Progressive Flooding
by Smitty In this sense, we mean: Progressive flooding is the additional flooding of spaces which were not previously assumed to be damaged. Such additional flooding may occur through openings or pipes as indicated. . . Ezra, the Juice Box Mafioso and Senate Democrat Briefer, outdoes himself in today’s exercise in Not Getting It. Or […]
Born That Way: The Strange Sisterhood Of Meggie Mac And San Fran Nan
— by Wombat-socho Young Miss McCain is in the news again, pouting that Newt isn’t taking her seriously. This is just common sense on the former speaker’s part.

Well, that is about as […]
President Obama Sends Me E-Mail
Maybe it’s because I’m so influential in the blogosphere (no matter what Tabitha Hale says). Or maybe it’s because I signed up for an e-mail news alert while I was covering the 2008 campaign. Either way, I think you’ll agree that it’s pretty nice of President Obama to take time from his busy schedule to […]
Sen. Schumer’s Deed Shall Live In Infamy

Shameless Insincerity
by Smitty The stench of everything coming out of the Beltway is rancid. One case in a thousand points of mold is Elena Kagan, via American Power: Douglas also links IBD: Should a justice who participated in ObamaCare’s creation recuse herself from the court’s review of that law? Of course. But then a nominee who […]
