Rahm Emanuel once sent a dead fish to a live pollster. Now he's put a horse's head in Roger Ailes' bed. Not very subtle. And not very smart. Ailes doesn't scare easily. -Charles Krauthammer Hope and Change? Not really. The Obama Administration has been behaving lately in a manner that is in equal measure tawdry and wrong-headed. The Obama Campaign has apparently decided that since they can't win the...

DOWNLOADS: (10) PLAYS: (65) Juan Williams, filling in for Bill O'Reilly last Friday on The O'Reilly Factor, had on my friend Kyle de Beausset (who blogs as Kyledeb at Citizen Orange ) to discuss Kyle's role in Harvard University's decision to rescind a speaking invitation to Minuteman leader Jim Gilchrist. As you can see, Williams was perplexed by what should be an obvious matter: While Harvard is...

Nancy Pelosi explains why eliminating the Bush tax cuts really isn’t the same thing as raising taxes. For her next performance, Nancy will explain why Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky wasn’t really cheating, because he was just reverting back to the state where he was before he married Hillary....

Multiple sources have said former HillPac lawyer Reshma Saujani is considering a primary challenge to Representative Carolyn Maloney, the Manhattan Democrat who threatened to run for Senate earlier this year. Saujani has a compelling biography for a candidate. She’s the daughter of immigrants who fled from violence in Uganda, and has degrees from Harvard and Yale. Saujani reportedly interned...

This happened a few days ago and I missed it, but I’m a little floored that it didn’t get more attention. Warren Ballentine is a lawyer specializing in “civil rights” (or at least the modern liberal definition of “civil rights”) and a talk radio host and he was brought on to Bill O’Reillyi’s show to discuss the Limbaugh/NFL controversy with Juan Williams,...

“There is a tide in the affairs of men.” -- William Shakespeare Y es, but undertows too. As Obama, Pelosi, and Reid rush to transform America into a European-style social-democratic state, they must be nervous; they must feel the sand sliding under their feet. The 2010 elections are just over the horizon and the omens are not encouraging for them. Thomas Jefferson warned that “great...

I doubt Florida Gov. Charlie Crist sat down with his beard lovely new wife last night to watch the HBO debut of Outrage , the powerful and hardhitting film in which he stars. He has more on his mind than a post-political stage and screen career. The Republican Senate nomination he was assured he had all sewn up is slipping out of his grasp. First it was only certifiably-- according to Thaddeus McCotter...

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov. David Paterson keeps sinking in the public's opinion, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is stuck in the vortex: She has to avoid getting sucked down by the governor's historic low ratings without appearing ungrateful to the man who picked her to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton. Gillibrand, a little-known second-term congresswoman before Paterson named her in January to her...

National Public Radio’s coverage of the Team Obama Olympic bid was one-sided in at least one way: no national Republicans were quoted in their coverage, before or after Chicago was eliminated. The GOP view came up briefly on Friday night’s All Things Considered, when anchor Melissa Block suggested to pseudo-conservative David Brooks "some Republicans are gloating in this defeat."...

On Tuesday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Harry Smith painted a glowing portrait of the Clinton administration while previewing a new book on the former president: "During Bill Clinton’s presidency, the nation prospered, he worked to broker peace in the Middle East and in the Balkans, championed welfare reform, and signed the NAFTA free trade agreement." The book, entitled The Clinton...

I fear for President Obama's life. I really do. Not *just* because he's black, but because the extreme right wing is out for blood - literally. The recent "Should Obama be Killed?" poll on Facebook can be seen as the canary in the coal mine, IMO. From Credo: As racist attacks increase and protestors continue to bring guns to presidential events, it is strikingly clear that President Obama...
