The Other McCain

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

Have You Called 202-675-6000 Yet?

DOVER, Delaware — Checkout time is noon at the Fairfield Inn here — headquarters for the Christine O’Donnell campaign — and the lobby is fully of campaign staffers, reporters, producers, etc. Christine’s dad just bummed a smoke from me. He’s supposed to be quit, but on such an occasion, his daughter didn’t object to the […]

Christine O’Donnell Victory Interview

DOVER, Delaware — It was after 11 a.m. when I finally got my turn to interview the Republican Cinderella: Unlike in our previous interview, she wouldn’t don the fedora — “No funny hats,” her advisers said — but maybe she’ll agree when we cover her inauguration. (Joe Biden would do the swearing-in.) Meanwhile, do like she […]

Don’t Tell Tabitha Hale . . .

. . . but despite her efforts to exclude me from Blog Con, I managed to find a way down here with Chris Renner. Here are a few photos of Thursday evening’s reception: Important blogger Stephen Kruiser and Amy Miller of Red State. All the BlogCon ladies love Steve Eggleston of No Runny Eggs. BTW, […]

Terrorism on Four Hooves

Victim of the whitetail jihad: This was not an accident. This was a premeditated suicide attack on my 2004 KIA Optima. The Islamicists hate us for our freedom. The deer hate us for our Korean sedans. Although, of course, it was the deer that was K.I.A. (Notice the tufts of fur stuck in the grill.) […]

How to Write an Anti-Palin Hit Piece

WASILLA, Alaska — I’m about to make the mad dash back to Anchorage, then will be making my way homeward for a couple days of rest before trying to explain to Mrs. Other McCain why I need to go to Delaware. But I thought I might share another point about those “impotent, limp and gutless” reporters: It’s […]

Sarah Palin Calls MSM Reporters ‘Impotent, Limp, and Gutless’

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Just as I was packing up here, I saw that The Right Scoop had audio of an interview Sarah Palin did with Sean Hannity: By the time you read this, I’ll be on my way to Wasilla. Pray for me, and please remember the five most important words in the English language: […]

Greetings From Anchorage!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Whenever I’m staying in a hotel, it is my habit to laud my hosts with adjectival praise, as for instance when I attended Right Online in Las Vegas at the luxurious Venetian Resort Hotel. In keeping with this tradition, I can now describe my current abode as an adequate motel near the Anchorage airport. Good news: It’s only $60 […]
