Whatever Was at the Bottom of the Barrel, Chris Matthews Just Scraped It Off

Geoffrey Dickens of Newsbusters nails Matthews for his disgusting Republicans-as-Brownshirts smear: “Chris Matthews, on Wednesday’s Hardball . . . claimed the restraining of a MoveOn.org activist by a Rand Paul supporter reminded him of what “we saw from hoodlums in the thirties in another country I will not mention” and added: “I mean it isn’t […]

Dear Rachel Maddow: How Often Should We Shake Hands With Mister Happy?

Professor William Jacobson has accused you, Miss Maddow, of “sexualizing” Christine O’Donnell, which may elicit some unfortunate mental images, so let’s not go there, OK? However, reasonable people of goodwill might wonder what political advantage you hoped to gain for the Progressive Wanker Community by calling attention to Miss O’Donnell’s youthful career as an advocate of sexual purity, […]

Gay Tea Party Activist Bruce Majors: ‘It’s a Full-Time Job Being a Celebrity Racist’

Last week, a D.C. guide for out-of-towners attending the Restoring Honor rally was seized upon by the Left as evidence of Tea Party bigotry because it advised visitors to stick to the touristy parts of town, et cetera. Rachel Maddow got all snarky about it: Here’s your first ironic denouement: The guy who wrote the […]

Ann Coulter on GZM: ‘It’s Like We’ve Designed a Pompous Douchebag Trap’

“Look, it’s Keith Olbermann!” BTW, Ace of Spades pulled out the flaming skull for the revelation that the imam at the Lower Manhattan Islamic Community Center That the Associated Press Won’t Call the “Ground Zero Mosque” Anymore has said some stuff that isn’t exactly moderate. UPDATE: Just so you know what she’s referring to, it […]

The Obama Obsession

Da Tech Guy‘s habit of watching Morning Joe on MSNBC, to get a daily read on what liberals are thinking, is a habit I’ve started to adopt. It’s interesting to watch the Obama-centric worldview in action. Today, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinsksi spent a full ten minutes discussing with Savannah Guthrie and Evan Wolfson this Pew Poll that shows […]

‘The Unfortunately Named Contessa’

That’s how Andrew Breitbart always refers to MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer, who complained in an interview with Media Bistro about how hard it is to interviewing guests who “come on and they are prepared to be challenging and to be difficult.” In another segment from the same interview, Brewer says it makes her “crazy” when blogs point […]

They Deserve Each Other: Olbermann and Daily Kos Break Up to Make Up?

There have been more than a few outbreaks of raw crazy on the blogosphere lately, and it’s reassuring to see that the same virus has infested the brackish waters at Daily Kos, where Keith Olbermann asks, “Et tu, Kossacks?” I used to read a lot about how people here would ‘always have my back’ and trust me this […]

VIDEO: Mike Barnicle Criticizes Obama, Gets ‘Castrated’ by Mika Brzezinski

Newsbusters caught this exchange on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”: Barnicle was parrotting the decidedly negative reaction from MSNBC-oids to Obama’s Big Spill speech, and Mika fired back: BARNICLE: I’m wondering why he didn’t address more specifically the plight of ordinary Americans in the Gulf . . . What are we going to do about energy in […]
