A Note on Bill Kristol’s
Arrogant and Stupid Blog Post

In general, the whooping and hollering over a GOP presidential candidate’s gaffe is done by Democrats. Also David Brooks and David Frum. So it was rather shocking to see Bill Kristol come out with a blog post using the phrase “stupid and arrogant” to describe Romney’s remarks. Bill Kristol calls Romney ‘arrogant and stupid’? weeklystandard.com/blogs/note-rom… Kinda not […]

On the Romney Video: ‘The Q&A Didn’t Turn Out as Well as He Had Hoped’

Let’s begin by nominating Jimmie Bise Jr. for the Pulitzer Prize for Humorous Understatement. That there’s funny, I don’t care who you are. Meanwhile, in the Real 1% — the pro-Obama media — the latest furor is over a second clip from the same secret (and possibly illegally recorded) video in which Romney criticizes talk of Mideast […]

Hyperbole Help For The Telegraph: ‘Romney Singularity Threatens Space-Time Continuum’

Obama’s ‘Bounce’ That Wasn’t

“To put it as bluntly as possible, the economy sucks, and the attempt by Democrats to exculpate Obama for this situation — to place the blame on Republicans, or to say that the economy would suck even worse if Romney were elected — is perhaps more difficult than Nate Silver’s statistics suggest.” — Robert Stacy […]

Obama Campaign Fundraising Claim Deserves More Than a Few Grains of Salt

August was not yet over when word got around during the Republican convention in Tampa that Romney and the GOP had raised more than $100 million in August — their third consecutive month of nine-digit fundraising. The Democrats had nothing to say in reply at that time. You could hear the crickets chirping at Obama […]

Mitt Romney Spars With David Gregory On Meet The Press

by Smitty Highly recommended: Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Romney seemed completely controlled, not engaging where and when and to his desired degree on every point. Can anyone think of a time #OccupyResoluteDesk has faced an interview of even half this rigor? Via Althouse, the transcript.
