‘Dude, I’m So Wasted’

It was nearly midnight in D.C., and I was sitting on the patio of the Dubliner with my friends Victor Morton and Pete Parisi of The Washington Times, when I saw Sean Pean walking past on F Street. “Dude, that’s Sean Pean,” I said. Pete and Victor turned to look, but Penn had his back […]

A former New York Times “strategy analyst” attempts to create a left-wing clone of the Tea Party movement and — surprise! — gets gushy write-ups from both the New York Times and the Washington Post. Professor William Jacobson exposes Annabel Park for the deceptive phony she is. Remind me of this the next time Nancy Pelosi starts […]
