Robert Gibbs Throws Quite A Tantrum
The Hill posted an item at 6 a.m. EDT today, reporting on an interview with Robert Gibbs. Gibbs threw quite a tantrum, at the “professional left”. (I very much fear that includes liberal bloggers.) During an interview with The Hill in his West Wing office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted liberal naysayers, whom [...]
Will Breitbart Walk Away With Just Superficial Scratches?
The one thing that is abundantly clear about the whole Shirley Sherrod fiasco — other than the fact that it was beyond absurd for her to be fired for her speech to the NAACP — is that Andrew Breitbart is guilty of race-baiting in the third degree. He deliberately edited the video of Sherrod’s speech, [...]
Quote Of The Day
“One-term president” wasn’t the only thing Newt Gingrich had to say about Barack Obama. There was also this: “I think he will replace Jimmy Carter as the worst president of modern times,” said Gingrich. Gingrich apparently doesn’t feel very much need to stay on top of the news, not even political news. When it comes [...]
The Sheer Laziness Of The Endangered Journalist
It didn’t make much of a ripple, but yesterday morning the Senate suddenly upped and confirmed a large number of long-stalled Obama nominees. How many people were confirmed? That’s where it gets hilarious. The Washington Post offers us “more than 60″: Senators confirmed more than 60 Obama administration nominees Tuesday after months of disagreement on [...]
What the Fork?
Remember all the fulmination we have heard from this White House on the subject of executive compensation? Especially when there were major flaps last year over AIG and assorted TARP-resuscitated banks being hell-bent on paying outrageously large bonuses? It may surprise you no end to learn that apparently the White House was speaking with forked [...]
Trapped In A Kafkaesque Nightmare
Yahya Wehelie is an American citizen, born and raised in Virginia, trapped by President Obama‘s homeland security apparatus in a literally Kafkaesque nightmare which ranks right along with some of George Bush‘s most ludicrous homeland security shenanigans. This is far from the first time that Obama has been in the spotlight for seamlessly continuing the [...]
The Courage of Rep. Steve King (IA)
Steve King is a master baiter. When it comes to race, that is. Appearing on G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show yesterday, he declared that President Barack Obama is a racist who “favors the black person”. Oh, and Rep. King is also offended by Attorney General Eric Holder: When you look at this administration, I’m offended [...]
The Dream Team With Feet Of Clay
Back in January 2009, when President Obama was assembling his Justice Department team, liberal bloggers were giddy with excitement over the fine, fine people he was picking. Champions of the Constitution, and paragons of virtue, they were going to preside over the Constitution’s slow but complete recovery from the gang rape it had suffered for [...]
Ya Think?
Craig Crawford on CQ Politics: The President’s supporters don’t automatically vote for someone just because he asks them to. We saw this trend again on Tuesday. Sen. Arlen Specter had counted on White House backing, but lost Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary. Of course, it didn’t help that Obama dodged last minute campaigning for Specter, despite flying [...]
Enthusiasm
Shocking: Turnout among Dem voters dropped precipitously in 3 statewide primaries on Tuesday, giving the party more evidence that their voters lack enthusiasm ahead of midterm elections. In primaries in NC, IN and OH, Dems turned out at far lower rates than they have in previous comparable elections. [...] The latest weekly Gallup tracking survey [...]
