And This Was Not Even Voted the Worst Keith Olbermann Rant of 2010

This was only good enough for second runner-up in the Media Research Center’s “Dumb and Dumber Award” category of its 23rd annual Notable Quotables competition: “[The Tea Party-backed Republicans are] a group of unqualified, unstable individuals who will do what they are told, in exchange for money and power, and march this nation as far […]

Why Ed Schultz Became a Liberal

Big hat-tip to the AOSHQ Headlines on this one. You sometimes hear conservative guys joke that liberal guys are liberal just because they want to score with liberal chicks.

This Week’s Installment of Burning, Pillage, Etc.

And let’s face it, if any modern organization ever deserved a visit from history’s best known hostile acquisition specialists, it’s CBS News. Since Vikings are a bit hard to come by these days, we have to do the best we can. On that note, take it away, Joe!

Does Sarah Palin Need a Tutor? Would Richard Wolffe Volunteer for the Job?

Cubachi has a post about Richard Wolffe on Hardball with Chris Matthews, in which Wolffe ridiculed the British writer C.S.

This would typically come up when, discussing proposals to reduce tax […]

Awesome Awesomeness Update: MSNBC Host Rips Into Democrat Alan Grayson

Given that Alan Grayson is one of the most vile pieces of filth ever elected to Congress — but not re-elected, as he got stomped 56%-38% by Republican Daniel Webster last month — there can be no doubt that he deserved this abuse from MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and […]

More MSNBC Awesomeness: Obama Gets Pimp-Slapped by Rachel Maddow

Via Talking Points Memo: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Between this and the Olbermann rant, MSNBC is clearly signaling a new programming strategy, to challenge Fox News as the No. 1 cable destination for Obama-haters. UPDATE: Welcome (again) Instapundit readers! I feel like Ted Williams on a hitting […]

Keith Olbermann Punk-Smacks Obama in the Best ‘Special Comment’ EVAH!

Talk about your “must-see TV”! Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy As I remarked last night on Twitter, if Glenn Beck had ever gone after Obama this hard, he would have been denounced for committing a hate-crime. (To be exact, with only 140 characters to work with, what I […]
