Stand By For A Trump Mulligan

by Smitty The “deal” Trump is likely referring to is his agreement in September to sign a pledge not to run as an independent. He said at the time he was given the “assurance that I would be treated fairly” by RNC chairman Reince Priebus in return for signing the pledge. The Wall Street Journal […]

‘Most Beautiful Woman in Canada’ Is …

. . . kind of like “conservative Republican from Massaschusetts.”   Jenna Talackova is accepted as a woman for the same reason some accept Mitt Romney as a conservative: Because Donald Trump said so! The similarities don’t end there: Jenna also used to have a “flip-flopper” problem. Now she’s got an “enthusiasm gap.” Some women […]

Trump Quits as Dec. 27 Debate Moderator

Says he won’t rule out an independent presidential campaign in 2012, and probably still hurt that Michele Bachmann turned him down. OK, so with The Donald, will NewsMax and Ion network still host the Dec. 27 debate? Now that Trump is out, will the other Republicans now accept the Dec. 27 debate? Or was the […]

Miracles Keep Happening Every Day

What were the odds, huh? Michele Bachmann becomes the fifth Republican presidential candidate to turn down the Donald Trump/NewsMax debate, meaning that on Dec. 27, it’s Newt Gingrich vs. Rick Santorum. This is like the Philly palooka Rocky Balboa getting a shot at Apollo Creed. And Rick’s OK with that: “Many of my opponents jockeyed […]

Donald Trump Drops 2012 GOP Campaign, Citing Herman Cain Surge

What? Wait a minute — this can’t be right. I just read the entire official statement in which Donald Trump announced that he won’t be seeking Republican presidential nomination and he didn’t say a single word about the unstoppable momentum of Herman Cain. Never mind. Ed is right: “Hardest hit — Charles Krauthammer?”

Obligatory Video: Donald F–ing Trump

Honestly, I ought to ignore this, but it’s already everywhere else so I might as well do it: “Listen you mother f***ers we’re going to tax you 25 percent“ Y’know, there’s good populism — defending the honest interests of ordinary people against corrupt machinations of the elite — and then there’s bad populism: Bully-boy nonsense […]

Heh: Trump’s Signature Line From China?

by Smitty (h/t Fire Jim Moran) It may not be true, and would be combed over in any case: Alan Colmes seems to corroborate, throwing in Mexico and Bangladesh for other items. Is it treasonous to ask why the economics don’t favor new clothing jobs in the U.S. anymore, or should we proceed directly to […]

VIDEO: Obama Sermonizes About This Silly Distraction From His Incompetence

Professor Glenn Reynolds: The White House may think it’s sprung a trap, but I think they waited too long. By now — as the polls from earlier this week showing how many independents thought Obama wasn’t born here, and which probably prompted the release decision, indicate — the damage is done. UPDATE: We now have […]
