The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Behind Blue Eyes

Ann Coulter was interviewed by ABC News, and Terry Moran introduced the segment this way: Simply put — a lot of people despise Ann Coulter, the conservative firebrand, because of her malevolent and acid rhetoric. Who are “a lot of people”? Liberals. And toward whom is Coulter’s rhetoric “malevolent”? Liberals. Keep in mind that Ann Coulter […]

Joan Walsh: ‘I Look Kind of Stupid’

“The lying is what disturbs me. He implicated a lot of us. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, let’s just say that. And, you know, I look kind of stupid. But on the other hand . . .” No, ma’am. There is no “other hand.” You falsely accused Andrew Breitbart of “savaging a […]

Breitbart’s Vindication

Let’s be clear about one thing: Andrew Breitbart was right, right, right and his critics were wrong, wrong, wrong. As BigGovernment.com explains, “Andrew Breitbart was in New York for previously scheduled meetings,” and went to Anthony Weiner’s press conference as an observer. So how did he end up on stage? I touch on that in […]

Yub Nub!

Allahpundit had this creepy interview Anthony Weiner gave to ABC News last week: Interesting story by Radar Online and Star magazine: “Weiner Used Jewish Sexual Stereotype To Facebook Sexting Partner.” I’ve been busy the past few hours writing 1,300 words for Tuesday’s American Spectator, so I’ve lost track of what’s been happening online in the […]

CBS News is now reporting on Andrew Breitbart’s exclusive: “A spokesman for Weiner did not immediately respond to a request to confirm that Weiner had, […]

Because I Know What’s News

“Has there ever been more manufactured and phony hype about a certifiable non-issue than so-called WeinerGate?” — John Guardiano, “Weinergate: What’s the Big Deal?” Frum Forum Few things annoy me more than having my news judgment questioned. Disagree on policy or doubt me on politics — we might argue, but such arguments do not call […]

Wow! Strange Plot Twists in #WeinerGate’s Third Act

A sentence you won’t see me write very often: Tommy Christopher has done some excellent reporting. Tommy’s story about @PatriotUSA and a 16-year-old girl who (falsely) claimed her friend was involved in Twitter “sexting” with Rep. Anthony Weiner is an absolute must-read. (BTW, Mediaite has posted Tommy’s story as five different pages, without a “single page view” or […]

Brutal. Simply Brutal.

Something I hadn’t previously noticed is how Rachel Maddow employed the word “creep” against Anthony Weiner: (Hat-tip: PoliticalPAW.) Meanwhile, the latest spin on WeinerGate provokes Ace of Spades to lay down an incredibly brutal interrogation on the Prime Suspect — an instant blogospheric classic. And, yeah, I’ve got a new WeinerGate column up at The […]
