First Gibbs, now the DNC. Meanwhile, as they chase the media and Sarah Palin, the Tea Party crew is raging mad at everyone, with Arianna Huffington’s post a good place to learn about why. As some conservatives decide it’s time to take Tea Party activism the next step, cutting off the fringe that’s toxic, so [...] [...more]
Fox News has been making a serious charge about mainstream political reporters: They hate Sarah Palin. This is not just wrong, it’s absurd. The reality is exactly the opposite: We love Palin. And if Palin does not exactly love us, she’s smart enough to recognize how quickly reporters devour every provocative remark she utters. She [...] [...more]
Well, never let it be said that the traditional media establishment won’t eventually catch on. David Broder, the Washington dean of politics, finally takes a deep breath only to find himself intoxicated by Sarah. The political perfume that’s been dropped on doorsteps in every conservative conclave in the nation, created the day she decided that [...] [...more]
CBS’s Mark Knoller makes an amazing and completely wrong assessment of Obama’s bipartisanship appeal to Republicans: What these presidential appeals for bipartisanship always mean is: do it my way. Your liberal media at work. I guess Knoller thinks Obama’s commitment to nuclear and “clean coal” technology, which began long before he was elected, not [...] [...more]
Watch CBS News Videos Online Marc Ambinder has written a very interesting post today on the devilish prowess of Sarah Palin, someone I’ve continually covered since the 2008 election ended. For good reason. There is no one who fits the mood or the times or fills the current political vacuum better than Sarah Palin. There has [...] [...more]
Some news that’s surfacing slowly is Iran’s new bluster on refining higher grade uranium. Russia and Israel seem to be talking the same language, while China still isn’t willing to sign on to harsh sanctions, something SecDef Gates is promising will come sooner rather than later. Even as it will take some time to reconfigure [...] [...more]
Stefan Sirucek of Huffington Post broke this story. “Energy.” “Budget [crossed out] (Cuts).” “Tax.” “Lift American spirits.” If Sarah Palin thought she needed notes there is no reason or excuse for not simply bringing them. The junior high school action of writing things on your hand you want to remember is so fundamentally embarrassing for an adult to do that [...] [...more]
It was Sarah Palin’s night. After a day when the “birthers” took a lot of heat from the Tea Partiers. Breitbart sounding beyond himself. “I was talking to her,” said Breitbart. “She was asking me if I thought it was was to bring it up, and I said, no. We have a lot of strong arguments [...] [...more]
music compliments of WB MSNBC headline: Palin e-mails reveal a powerful ‘first dude’. With the Tea Party convention in full swing this weekend, and the Beltway snowed in, can there be any doubt Fox News channel will get plenty of eyes Saturday night? However, the laugh out loud of the week is the rambling exhale in the [...] [...more]
There’s been a ridiculous back and forth going on that started with Rahm Emanuel calling the liberal activist strategy on health care “f-ing retarded.” This ticked off Sarah Palin, who evidently thinks her cute son Trig is either a liberal, an activist or somehow involved in the health care debate. Then of course, Rush, [...] [...more]
Palin’s op-ed today comes complete with links to her Twitter and Facebook page. Not that she’s recruiting supporters for 2012 or anything. She defends herself, but also makes the broader case for the Tea Party movement, which others have mentioned as well. That having started out as crazy “death panel” “birthers,” the movement has picked [...] [...more]
Big primary day in the 2010 election season, with all sorts of things happening. Under the radar the 2012 season also begins, as does a battle likely to come in the Senate Democratic leadership fight, with feelings that Sen. Harry Reid may be heading for a loss. Amidst this we get a one-issue marketing magazine [...] [...more]
Scott Brown doesn’t even have a business card, but people are asking him about 2012. My favorite part of the Walters interview is that Brown has “no regrets” about his nude Cosmo spread. Brown told Barbara Walters “you have to have a sense of humor about yourself,” and links the centerfold to many of [...] [...more]
“My message to these groups who are inexplicably offended by a pro-woman, pro-child, pro-life message airing during the Super Bowl: please concentrate on empowering women, help with efforts to prevent unexpected pregnancies, stay consistent with your message that for too long women have been made to feel like sex objects in our ‘modern’ culture and [...] [...more]
updated In case you thought ratings over at Fox News Channel couldn’t get any better, get ready for the next bump. Palin goes pundit. Jim Rutenberg reports: The network confirmed that Ms. Palin would appear on the network’s programming on a regular basis as part of a multiyear deal. Financial terms were not disclosed. Ms. Palin will not [...] [...more]
