This is all over the place, but Other McCain has the best aggregation. And being an old newsman, he jumps all over the Dead Man’s Quote trick like a lion on a wildebeest: FIRING OFFENSE, period. By God, you can’t do that in journalism: You cannot base a key element of a story — in… Read More Mitt Romney’s Bully Story Comes Apart Like Cheap Taffy
Weak sauce, as my wife’s chef cousin would put it. And Mitt quickly offered a “I don’t recall but I’m sorry if anything I did went too far,” semi-apology. But that hasn’t stopped every Democrat from treating this as a sign of his total unfitness for public office. The “he’s still a bully — against… Read More Mitt Romney Bullied a Kid in High School. Proggies Rejoice.
Since I don’t watch SNL, I can’t say whether it would have been funnier than the Fox News Parody they did air. These things after all, are so subjective. But I read the script of the sketch at the Daily Caller, and I laughed. I do think that I know the reason SNL made the… Read More SNL’s Un-Aired Obama Parody Would Have Been Pretty Funny…
So apparently Elizabeth Warren, who to all appearances is whiter than Denis Leary doing an impression of Bryant Gumbel, can actually conjure up a single drop of exotic non-honky blood, in the person of a Cherokee great-great-great-grandmother. To which I can think of no better response than a hearty “whoop-de-do.” No doubt every thirty-second corpuscle… Read More Elizabeth Warren: Daughter of the Confederacy
If there’s another reason to vote for Romney, I haven’t heard it.
…and came from a long line of polygamists. Obama Sr. was already married when he left Kenya to study at the University of Hawaii, where he married again. His American wife-to-be, Stanley Ann Dunham, was not yet 18 and unaware of his marital situation when she became pregnant with his namesake son in 1961. Why,… Read More Barak Obama Sr. Was a Polygamist…
At Patterico, the usual desperate flailing to find cover for President Pup-Eater McFailpants is diagnosed: The slogan is a multiple entendre, but one of those entendres, intentionally or not, is evocative of a nasty racial stereotype about black men. See? It evokes. And your intentions don’t matter, because meaning is determined by the interpreter. See… Read More Obama isn’t Working, Because Mitt Romney is a Raaaaacist, or Something…
I won’t feign joy that we have the presumed-nominee that we have, but I won’t feign despair, either. Romney is no one’s ideal candidate, but neither is he the doomed mumbling sclerotic hayride of fail that John McCain was. And I think he has a good few advantages going into this election:
Maryland has been run by an oligarchy of high-minded swine since at least 1655, when a band of scurrilous Puritan rebels defeated the forces of Lord Baltimore at the Battle of the Severn. Today, Maryland is more or less a wholly owned subsidiary of the federal government. I mean that in the literal sense; the… Read More Forget it, Rick. It’s Maryland.
It seems as though everyone had something to celebrate from last night’s primaries (except of course, Ron Paul. Doubtless he had a moral victory). I watched most of the speeches last night, and these are the impressions they made on me: Newt Gingrich came across as a bulldog, but a bulldog that spent way too… Read More Three Wins, Three Speeches
