Maddow: ‘Those Nickels and Dimes’

OK, everybody and his third cousin — Hot Air, Red State, Weasel Zippers, Verum Serum, Newsbusters — has already posted this Johnny Dollar video, but even though I’m late to the party, I’ll gladly join the dogpile: Johnny Dollar put a lot of work into this thorough fisking of Rachel Maddow, so it’s extra-good.

MSNBC-OMFG: Keith Olbermann Humiliates Network Executives

According to this report, not only did Olbermann refuse to apologize for violating NBC’s rules forbidding political contributions by news personnel, but he demanded that the network apologize to him.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Admits: ‘I Am a Socialist. And, Yeah, I Checked Out Those Demi Lovato Bikini Pics, Too.’

Wait. Maybe I need to double-check that quote: O’Donnell was arguing on “Morning Joe” with Glenn Greenwald, who accused him of “trying to blame ‘the Left’ and ‘liberalism’ for the Democrats’ political woes.” O’Donnell responded: “Glenn, unlike you, I am not a progressive.

Doug Hoffman’s Legacy in 2010 Victories

DAYTONA BEACH SHORES, Fla. — During the Allen West victory party Tuesday night, I stepped outside for a few moments and made a phone call to upstate New York to interview the man whose 2009 special-election campaign did so much to inspire grassroots conservatives nationwide.

Ellmers to NRCC: Thanks for Nothing

That the GOP won the House is some kind of miracle, considering the total ineptitude of Pete Sessions and his crew of bumbling dingbats at the NRCC. Renee Ellmers beat Bob Etheridge in North Carolina. Now the Democrat is asking for a recount and Ellmers has gone public with the fact that the NRCC is MIA: […]
