Please: Hurt Karen Finney Some More

Before we get around to explaining how you can hurt MSNBC analyst Karen Finney, we must ask: Why does Michelle Malkin hate women? That’s right: Michelle Malkin’s Twitchy is advertising on the Hateful Misognystic Rush Limbaugh Show, so obviously, she hates women.

Memo From the National Affairs Desk: Mathematical Impossibilities Happen

“Rick Santorum charged of out Tuesday’s wins in the South with a fresh claim to being the chosen son of the Republicans’ conservative flank.

I’ve been saying this for weeks, and it’s probably not a good idea for the candidate to say so himself, but it’s unquestionably true: On Tuesday’s “Kilmeade & Friends” radio show on Fox News Radio, former Pennsylvania Sen.

Why Did the Santorum Campaign Leak Its Strategy Memo to Liberal Media First?

Before I wrote this post, I checked to make sure that I hadn’t somehow missed an e-mail from the Santorum campaign, which I hadn’t. And I haven’t missed any phone calls from them, either.

This news was announced Saturday night: The former Pennsylvania senator broke the news about his daughter while standing on stage at a campaign rally in Missouri with his wife, Karen, and second-oldest child, John. “John just said to me there is an advantage of being the oldest,” Santorum joked.
