‘You Can’t Lawyer the Media’

So said Andrea Tantaros during a panel discussion of WeinerGate today on “Fox News Watch”: Colby Hall of Mediaite.com was interviewed on MSNBC today about the continuing scandal: “When it broke, all there was left we could do was to speculate reasonably, until his statement that he could not say with certitude whether or not […]

This Just In: Obamanomics Sucks

Are folks on Wall Street finally figuring out what the folks on Main Street have known for two years? U.S. stocks fell Friday to cap their first five-week losing streak since July 2004, as a dismal jobs report added to the drumbeat of investor concerns about a slowing economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell […]

Wow! Strange Plot Twists in #WeinerGate’s Third Act

A sentence you won’t see me write very often: Tommy Christopher has done some excellent reporting. Tommy’s story about @PatriotUSA and a 16-year-old girl who (falsely) claimed her friend was involved in Twitter “sexting” with Rep. Anthony Weiner is an absolute must-read. (BTW, Mediaite has posted Tommy’s story as five different pages, without a “single page view” or […]

Brutal. Simply Brutal.

Something I hadn’t previously noticed is how Rachel Maddow employed the word “creep” against Anthony Weiner: (Hat-tip: PoliticalPAW.) Meanwhile, the latest spin on WeinerGate provokes Ace of Spades to lay down an incredibly brutal interrogation on the Prime Suspect — an instant blogospheric classic. And, yeah, I’ve got a new WeinerGate column up at The […]

UPDATE: Questions Piling Up

New York Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner allegedly sent an alleged photo of his alleged penis to an alleged woman via Twitter. The photo shows a man in gray undershorts with a bulging erection. Weiner is claiming he was the victim of Internet hackers, and I think we should believe him. Because his penis is probably […]

Alinsky as Rhetorical Dadaist

by Smitty (h/t Big Peace) Andrew McCarthy in the National Review makes a perceptive point on our good President, noting how the duck-and-weave on Israel is straight out of the Saul Alinsky playbook. Also, that pattern is the same as what was used on ObamaCare. Emphasis mine: Obama is an Alinskyite, though, a practical radical. […]

Look on the Bright Side

“The more time they spend accusing Republicans of wanting to kill old people, the less time they’ll spend accusing Republicans of hating black people.”

‘That’s Not a Poll That’s Psy-Ops!’

So says Da Tech Guy about an Associated Press poll that surveyed nearly twice as many Democrats (35%) as Republicans (18%). You will perhaps not be surprised that this poll shows Obama with a 63% approval rating. Speaking of “psy-ops” — psychological warfare — let me explain something: Nothing so sways the independent voter as bandwagon psychology. […]
