For example, no matter how many Emmy awards you win as an investigative TV reporter, there are still a few phrases that can harm your career.

The John Tierney Scandal: Did Democrat Benefit From His Racketeering In-Laws?

The Massacusetts Democrat’s wife pleaded guilty to tax fraud charges this week, and now questions are being asked about John Tierney’s campaign contributions: US Representative John F.

MA-6: Bill Hudak Has a New Slogan

“My wife never committed tax fraud” Kinda catchy, don’t you think? I just made that one up.

BREAKING: Fire Melts Steel, Oswald Killed JFK, Vince Foster Shot Himself

While I was toiling in defense of Christine O’Donnell’s criticism of coed dorms, the Progressive Orgy Room was going berserk again: Back in 1996, when then-Speaker Newt Gingrich’s finances were being investigated, O’Donnell complained that people were on a witch hunt to find anything to get Gingrich, instead of paying attention to serious ethics scandals […]

GOP Slime Time

Jim Greer, the corrupt former Florida GOP chairman who tried to rig the Senate primary for his RINO buddy Charlie Crist, apparently decided that trashing Republicans might help him stay out of prison: “Unfortunately, I found that many within the GOP have racist views and I apologize to the President for my opposition to his […]
