Watch CBS News Videos Online Sarah Palin was on Jay Leno tonight, taking a turn doing a comedy political monologue.

–updated– Could it be that all of your work is paying off? All those calls and pushing politicians to do the right thing is taking hold? Senator Rockefeller blasted insurance companies today in a performance that is worthy a Democratic fighter on principle. “They are getting away with banditry and they revel in it,” Rockefeller said bluntly. Harkin [...] [...more]
Someone in leadership finally said it out loud. Let it be noted for the record, with the gauntlet thrown down. Wingnuts who incite violence will be responsible. It’s real, with Mickey Kaus getting it, pointing the finger where it applies: I hate to say it,** but doesn’t Nancy Pelosi have a point when she worries about a [...] [...more]
It’s like that Phil Collins song, you can feel it coming in the air at every town hall. Just ask Arlen Specter, who faced a grievance mob today, complete with boos when Specter spoke of Obama’s Americanness. Town halls turned grievance fests with health care only the launching pad for people to act out. “IT [...] [...more]
“Rumors are true! Max Motors is giving away guns,” the ad screams. Oh! Oh! Oh, those wacky Missourians. A graphic that sounds of bullets firing as your mouse slides across the gun graphic. But beware. It’s a full-auto graphic. I’ll have to so hide this from my husband. He fell in love with Missouri when we went to [...] [...more]
A prerequisite for all Dems should be to first run their theories on guns past Jim Webb (or some equally qualified gun expert) to see if their notions pass the smell test. They rarely do. Backdrop: Mexico. As Obama lands, President Calderon is calling for our Congress to reinstitute the assault weapons ban [...] [...more]
The apology is airing on Fox News channel, though I wish it would have been offered as a press conference instead. Giving Fox this type of platform for an apology to veterans from a leading Democrat is just bad practice. “To the extent veterans read it as an accusation … an apology is owed,” she said [...] [...more]
It happens every time you get a dynamic Democratic president in office. It happened when William Jefferson Clinton hit Washington. The conservatives began hunting him in earnest and didn’t let up until they had him in their sights. Handing them the dagger didn’t help, but they would have found an opening regardless. [...] [...more]
Consider it a new calling for all you daring entrepreneurs. CEI calls it a “free-market solution.” But this is deadly serious stuff. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called the pirates “nothing more than criminals” and noted that they were not a new problem for the United States — though this was the first time in [...] [...more]
This was predictable. As the right feels the heat for the cop killing that just went down, especially since there is evidence that their hate speech helped fuel it. Though the responsibility is still on the guy that morphed into a murdering cop killer. Oh, and just to note, I was one of the people named [...] [...more]

UPDATE: Today in Mexico Secretary Clinton brought U.S. responsibility for problems we’re facing on the border with her. “Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade,” Clinton said as she headed on her third trip abroad since taking office. “Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these [...] [...more]
Now that I’m finally settled in D.C., I’d like to talk about what’s going on around here, which actually started after the primaries last year. Big changes, good changes, with more to come. There has been a change in the community, too, and that’s not over either. First, I made a risky decision to [...] [...more]
I’m beginning to wonder about A.G. Eric Holder’s priorities, not to mention his knowledge base of weaponry. Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi have this one exactly right. Any attempt to resurrect the “assault weapons ban” should be opposed, because it’s absolutely ludicrous. … “Senator Reid would oppose an effort (to) reinstate the ban if the [...] [...more]
