T-Paw and ‘Robust Internationalism’

What to make of this article by Jamie M. Fly in Foreign Policy? The departure of Gov. Tim Pawlenty from the race for the Republican nomination for president deprives national security conservatives of one of the field’s leading champions of a robust internationalism. Despite the ludicrous rants of Rep. Ron Paul and efforts by some Tea […]

Herman Cain on Janeane Garofalo: ‘I Wanted to Send Her a Thank You Note’

Left-wing actress Janeane Garofalo told Keith Olberman last week that she thinks someone in the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy — she named Karl Rove, Grover Norquist and the Koch brothers as likely suspects — must be secretly paying Herman Cain to run for president.

Herman Cain speaks Aug. 13 at the Ames Straw Poll Herman Cain is “still in it to win it,” his Republican presidential campaign told supporters in a fundraising e-mail highlighting the Atlanta businessman’s speech last week at the Iowa Straw Poll in Ames.

It’s also pathetic: Unemployed campaign staffers pinning their future hopes on a guy who has repeatedly said he is not running for president. […]

Piers Morgan Really Likes Masturbation (And Really Hates Christine O’Donnell)

Making the media rounds to promote her new book Troublemaker, 2012 Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell appeared on CNN with Piers Morgan, who decided that he needed to grill O’Donnell about masturbation and whether she had “committed lust”: What an annoying twerp. This is not only offensive, it’s boring. There are far more interesting questions […]

The Uninformed Rick Perry

by Smitty ABC has the news of Rick Perry in New Hampshire: When Rick Perry arrived in New Hampshire one day ago, he repeated the state’s “live free or die” motto, telling an audience, “You’ve got to love that. What Perry may not have loved, however, is the treatment he received just 24-hours later at […]

I Would Very Much Like to Say That Janeane Garofalo Has Lost Her Mind …

. . . but there isn’t much evidence that she was ever entirely sane: Last night, on failed MSNBC talk host Keith Olbermann’s new Current TV show (a network with less viewers than MSNBC), Janeane Garofalo said Herman Cain must be getting paid to run, has Stockholm Syndrome and that the Tea Party and Conservative […]
