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

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Admits: ‘I Am a Socialist. And, Yeah, I Checked Out Those Demi Lovato Bikini Pics, Too.’

Wait. Maybe I need to double-check that quote: O’Donnell was arguing on “Morning Joe” with Glenn Greenwald, who accused him of “trying to blame ‘the Left’ and ‘liberalism’ for the Democrats’ political woes.” O’Donnell responded: “Glenn, unlike you, I am not a progressive. I am not a liberal who is so afraid of the word […]

Report: Keith Olbermann Refuses to Apologize for Giving Money to Democrats and Looking at Demi Lovato Bikini Pics

But mainly it was the giving-money-to-Democrats thing: Network sources tell Playbook that Keith Olbermann was suspended because he refused to deliver an on-camera mea culpa, which would have allowed him to continue anchoring “Countdown.” Olbermann told his bosses he didn’t know he was barred from making campaign contributions, although he is resisting saying that publicly.

Democrats in Denial

Elephants never forget and neither does Vicki McClure Davidson, who reminds us of this Time magazine cover from 2009: It’s hilarious to read Michael Grunwald’s May 2009 analysis with the benefit of hindsight: “The [Republican] party’s ideas — about economic issues, social issues and just about everything else — are not popular ideas. They are extremely conservative […]

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 […]
