The Helen Thomas Dogpile

Why am I the last blogger on the planet to blog about this? I dunno. It’s not as if there has been any shortage of blogospheric rage raining down on Helen’s hate-filled head. What’s the point of my running in to give her an extra kick? Besides, once she’s been called an old, ugly Jew-hater […]

If You Think Watching Keith Olbermann Is Painful, Imagine Being His Guest

David Weigel had to defend Sarah Palin against Olby’s hallucinatory perjury-trap “Fitzmas” fantasies of a Palin perpwalk: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy After doing the Olbermann show, Weigel’s probably looking forward to talking to comparatively sane people at the Million Birther March.
