Mitt Romney Spars With David Gregory On Meet The Press

by Smitty Highly recommended: Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Romney seemed completely controlled, not engaging where and when and to his desired degree on every point. Can anyone think of a time #OccupyResoluteDesk has faced an interview of even half this rigor? Via Althouse, the transcript.

When It Comes to ‘Brazen Lies,’
Nobody Excels Joan Walsh

TAMPA, Florida By now, you’re familiar with the pattern for Republican National Convention coverage: Democrats choose their themes, issue their talking points and their media henchpersons then repeat the partisan spin as if it were a matter of indisputable fact. It was decided in advance that a major theme of media coverage would be “Republicans […]

Chris Matthews: Pecksniff

by Smitty Via Hot Air, Politico, emphasis mine: “It is obvious that this is something I care passionately about: race was abused by white politicians in my lifetime, including Reagan.

Now that we have determined the shooter’s motive and found a scapegoat to blame — […]

Maddow Left Sputtering By ‘L’ Word

by Smitty Say what you want about Rich Lowry, he did a splendid job against Keith Olbermann’s more masculine brother here. It turns out that Maddow just can’t handle the word ‘logic’: I guess that in Maddow-land the selection of Ryan as VP means that Mitt Romney is open to attack for every vote Ryan […]

‘Repeal Equals Death’

Top Romney adviser Eric Ferhnstrom said, “I don’t think a world champion limbo dancer could get any lower than the Obama campaign right now.” The problem with such a statement is that, just when you think they can’t go any lower, liberals always manage to surprise you, as when Jonathan Alter went on MSNBC and […]

No, Richard Kim, The U.S. Is Not As Jacked Up As Syria, Despite Your Ilk

by Smitty Melissa Harris-Perry’s show featured Richard Kim from The Nation.com spouting what initially seemed more Commie piffle, but then I realized it’s kind of revelatory: Do we want to live in that night?”Not with your creepy little indecent self, Kim. Why don’t you go line up for Sarah Silverman? Kim Smitty “The Dark Knight […]
