John and I were just discussing Chuck Todd’s unbelievably idiotic tweet defending McCain’s latest primary-induced flip-flop. Todd’s an idiot, but not as dumb as Howie Kurtz—was John’s take on it. Mine is that neither Todd nor Kurtz is dumb in the usual sense. To stay in the good graces of elite [...]

John McCain shifts to the right on his once big issue: climate. How does Chuck Todd respond? There seems to be a communication breakdown between the two and while some say it's a one-way McCain problem, has Obama reached out enuff? Yes, obviously, it's Obama's fault that McCain's flipflopping on issues. In the Village, nothing is ever McCain's fault.

There's a stock column appearing in left-liberal MSM outlets all over the country, The author varies, but the main point is the same: Republican Senators are guilty of "hypocrisy" for attempting to filibuster one of President Obama's judicial nominees after having criticized Democrats for filibustering a host of President Bush's nominees a few years ago. This piece by Dana Milbank in the...

Very strange stuff , but no real shock coming from these types of freaks. Michelle Malkin writes the Second Declaration of Independence. Rep. Barney Frank, the "banking queen," escapes the people's militia "dressed as an ugly hag." The pro-Obama forces are responsible for mass graves. The "almost illiterate" Rep. Maxine Waters hides out "with the poor in the shanty...

Michelle Malkin hammered Andrew Sullivan today with her piece, " It's Official: Atlantic Magazine Blogger Suffers Palin-Induced Psychosis ." And frankly, I'm not sure if "psychosis" is a strong enough term, even though it means to be completely out of touch with any semblance of reality. That's my impression of the guy after reading Sullivan's long screed attacking Sarah Palin with...

Just read it. You are a dope-smoking, contagion-spreading menace to society, Andrew Sullivan, and you ought to be immediately deported. I think even Tom Tancredo, Pat Buchanan and Peter Brimelow would agree that your deportation is a matter of national security far more important than sending ICE to hassle a few hundred illegal Mexican poultry-plant [...]

From Chuck Todd's interview with President Obama, November 18: TODD: You gonna sign health care before the state of the union? OBAMA: I expect so. TODD: But obviously not the end of the year at this point? OBAMA: You will not hear that from me. TODD: You're not ready to say that? OBAMA: Absolutely not. Previous comments by the president: October 5 : "And so if you're willing to speak out strongly...

Amanda Carpenter broke the news Tuesday that “The government Web site that promised to show exactly where the $787 billion in stimulus spending was going to ‘create or save’ jobs is allocating billions of tax dollars to hundreds of congressional districts that don’t exist.” Researchers at the Franklin Center for Government & Public Integrity found 440 [...]

From the Colorado Independent : Colorado U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette drew venom from conservative and Catholic bloggers yesterday for comments she made to ABC on the role Catholic bishops should be playing in shaping health care reform. But the venom was based on misquotes of the ABC interview published at The Hill, a political news website. Colorado right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin led the charge on...

After having just attended a lecture and book signing with Michelle Malkin, I've been wondering if I'll have a similar opportunity with Sarah Palin. But the thing is, looking at the clip here, and thinking of my brief photo-op with Malkin, it's just a quick hello and thank you, for the most part (or, maybe she'll sign your jacket as well). Still, it'd be an honor to shake Governor Palin's hand and...

From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Ali WeinbergCEDAR CREEK, Tex. -- At yesterday's public events at the Republican Governors Association’s annual meeting here just outside of Austin, there wasn’t anything resembling the boisterous Tea Party protests or those summer town halls. There weren't cries about President Obama's "radical" or "socialist" agenda....

This is my response to a cruel article on Sarah Palin by Peggy Noonan. She had supportive and positive words regarding the possibility of an Obama administration. Since she displayed positive words of support for Obama, how conservative could she really be? Peggy Noonan’s roots are firmly grounded in and around New York City . She was raised in one of the most elitist and liberal cities in the country.
