If Conor Friedersdorf Is Smiling …

. . . that can only mean bad news: This is how to co-opt journalists. Eager for access to the Republican nominee, or curious about what he’d say at the meeting, they agreed to the off-the-record ground rules. It’s easy to imagine how it could all play out.

What? You doubt that he’s actually Samoan? What kind of vicious racist hatemonger are you, to doubt Bert the Samoan Lawyer? It’s impossible to be sure about this Elizabeth Warren/Native American thing but I will bet you …  a Ruth’s Chris dinner the next time [you are] in Alabama that if Elizabeth Warren was listing herself as […]

Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky … Obama!

Yes, comrades, they all share the same slogan: “Forward!” The Obama campaign apparently didn’t look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, “Forward” — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism. . . . The slogan “Forward!” reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected […]

Ashley Judd Makes Cruel and Tasteless Jokes About Abortion in Political Video

Barren middle-aged actress Ashley Judd in scene from ‘Rick Santorum Aborts Presidential Campaign’ video When last we heard from bitter, childless, menopausal Ashley Judd, the over-the-hill ex-starlet gave us a feminist lecture about how she was being victimized by the oppressive gossip-blog patriarchy. Last week, however, Judd joined forces with three more attractive actresses — fellow […]
