Separated At Birth: Dick Tracy / Robert Gibbs Edition

by Smitty I’m probably being unfair to Dick Tracy here, as he’s at least an honorable cartoon character, juxtaposing him with a cretin like Gibbs. Keep lying, Gibbs. The more you urinate down the back of the American public and call it rain, the more it motivates honest Americans to make sure that you and […]

Oh, Say, You Can’t See, By The Hope Or The Change, What So Sadly We Beheld, Like Benghazi’s Last Blood Streaks

by Smitty First, the United States has not properly mourned the deaths of our Libyan Ambassador, or the other three victims in the Benghazi tragedy. The Obama Administration piled deceit after the fact upon incompetence beforehand, and has still not come fully clean. Thus it was with grisly irony that the blogs seized on Obama’s vainglorious […]

If The Sitting President Says Michelle Obama Is Qualified For POTUS, Then @SarahPalinUSA Surely Rates

by Smitty The Blaze: President Barack Obama offered a boost for his wife on Friday, saying first lady Michelle Obama could “definitely” win the presidency but that she has “too much sense” to run for office. “She definitely could be the president but she will never run for the presidency ’cause she’s got too much […]

Conor, You Lost Me At ‘Fix’

by Smitty Friedersdorf is normally Dan Riehl’s favorite target of derision, but one of our readers emailed a URL to article #74,325 in the “Until Republicans Fix [The Signal-To-Noise-Ratio], They Can’t Fix Any Problems” series. The inability to judge arguments on their merits and separate fact from fantasy is what ails the conservative movement. Later, […]

Oh, That’ll Go Over Like The Vagina Monologues In Quantico

by Smitty Breitbart: The Obama administration’s shifting claims on what took place in Benghazi, Libya on 9/11 became more defiant yesterday when unnamed officials suggested that no amount of security would have mattered in Libya, not even a detachment of US Marines. Yeah, “unnamed officals”, you’d best ensure that you’re anonymous while tossing the U.S.M.C. […]

Obama Talking Point: ‘Opportunistic’

“The best information we have now, the facts that we have now, indicate that this was an opportunistic attack.” — Matt Olsen, head of the U.S. National Counter-Terrorism Center, testifying to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee “President Barack Obama said he thinks Muslim protests against Western criticism of Islam are ‘natural.’ ” […]

OMG! I Thought The Obama Flag & Blood On The Wall A Tasteless Joke. . .

by Smitty CONTENT WARNING: lefties say this image “mocks American dead” pbs.twimg.com/media/A3NLBLsC… — David Burge (@iowahawkblog) September 20, 2012 But no, that upper image is, unexpectedly, a sale item: Let me be perfectly clear. Obama wasn’t joking when he talked about ‘fundamentally transforming America‘. This is why I tell people: the election in five weeks […]

Obama: An Authentic Phony

Back during the 2008 GOP primary campaign — most of which actually happened in 2007 — I wasn’t yet an independent blogger, but was “a man under authority” at The Washington Times. Working on the news side of the operation, the public expression of my opinions was streng verboten, which of course didn’t mean I […]
