You Stay Classy: Liberals Now Peddling Gay Smear on Texas Gov. Rick Perry

My reaction on Twitter last night was brief and blunt. It is astounding that they’d do this and I’d rather ignore it altogether, but now the desperate and ridiculous gay smear against Rick Perry has been promoted at both Politico and New York magazine.

WeinerGate: Who Is Starchild111?

At least one reader has complained that it’s time to move on from WeinerGate, and I’m entirely willing to do so — but the dadgum story won’t stop, and stuff just keeps popping up.

My flight out of Dulles yesterday was delayed more than an hour on departure. By the time I arrived, checked into the Hilton and had dinner — bangers and mash at a British-style pub downtown […]

‘Moving On’ to Right Online!

DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT By the time you read this, I’ll be on board a jet preparing to depart for Minneapolis and the 2011 Right Online conference. I’m still recovering (and by “recovering,” I mean sick as hell) from pneumonia, and the strain of Three Weeks of Weiner have probably hindered my recovery. Both Don Surber […]

Today’s big story about embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner focuses on the fact that his wife, Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, has returned home to deal with the scandal.
