Nancy Pelosi Tries to Evade Responsibility for Historic Defeat of House Democrats

At last count, losses for House Democrats appeared to total at least 63 seats, pending absentee ballots in some races and possible recounts in others. Among the defeated Democrats were such long-serving incumbents as Rick Boucher (14 terms, VA-9) and Paul Kanjorski (13 terms, PA-11), who had survived even the 1994 “Contract With America” GOP […]

Inspector General: Obama Administration Edited BP Oil Spill Report to Falsely Suggest Consensus for Gulf Drilling Ban

The administration’s six-month moratorium on deep-water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico wasn’t “peer reviewed” at all. No, it was an executive decision by President Obama, and the report was then edited — apparently by a staffer for Carol Browner — to make it look like experts had “peer reviewed” that recommendation. The experts had complained in […]

‘A Deliberate . . . Systemic Campaign to Kill Obama’s Presidency in Its Crib’

Hey, did anybody else ever notice that Andrew Sullivan has a tendency to engage in hyperbole? What Sully portrays as a malign plot, I think most people call . . . politics. Or in Jennifer Rubin’s elegantly simple formula, “There is no getting around it. The opposition party must oppose.” For an Obamaphile like Sullivan, the explanation […]

by Smitty After weeks on his intrepid mission to view 60 Minutes and report on its contents to mortals of lesser fortitude, the score at the Valley of the Shadow is still ugly: 10 produced stories for the Left – 2 1/2 Ties – 1/2 point for the Right. It’s a step. Now improve. He […]

Congressional And Media Probes Into The Obama Admin Promise To Be Un-Boring

by Smitty The Constitution Club reports that, while the cat is away in India, the mice are playing a game of circle the mixed metaphorical wagons: Expect the trickle of leaks to go a-gusher in the coming days. Now that Obama has lost his rainmaker mojo and earned much enmity within his own party (not […]

Yeah, I Thought The 34 Ship Story A Trifle Inflated

by Smitty Having enjoyed a few deployments a couple decades ago, you don’t just go taking large amounts of warships and throwing them at places, unless they have names like San Diego or Norfolk. Singapore. Hong Kong. Then, you’re stuck anchoring out and taking barges in. Dealing with the sewage, fuel, trash, and fresh water […]
