Wrong, Wrong, Wrong: Belated Notice of Charles Johnson’s Total Beclownment

During the 10 days of WeinerGate, I tried to focus as hard as I could on following the main thread of the story, which was more than enough for anyone to attempt as the scandal rapidly developed. However, along the way I couldn’t help but notice a few distractions off on the periphery. And I […]

Joan Walsh: ‘I Look Kind of Stupid’

“The lying is what disturbs me. He implicated a lot of us. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, let’s just say that. And, you know, I look kind of stupid. But on the other hand . . .” No, ma’am. There is no “other hand.” You falsely accused Andrew Breitbart of “savaging a […]

Weiner’s Race-Mongering Past

If any Republican had exploited racial fear to win an election as shamelessly as Anthony Weiner exploited racial fear to win his first election in 1991, the Left would never forget it, nor forgive it.

Breitbart’s Vindication

Let’s be clear about one thing: Andrew Breitbart was right, right, right and his critics were wrong, wrong, wrong. As BigGovernment.com explains, “Andrew Breitbart was in New York for previously scheduled meetings,” and went to Anthony Weiner’s press conference as an observer. So how did he end up on stage? I touch on that in […]

Yub Nub!

Allahpundit had this creepy interview Anthony Weiner gave to ABC News last week: Interesting story by Radar Online and Star magazine: “Weiner Used Jewish Sexual Stereotype To Facebook Sexting Partner.” I’ve been busy the past few hours writing 1,300 words for Tuesday’s American Spectator, so I’ve lost track of what’s been happening online in the […]

Anthony Weiner Press Conference UPDATE: Admits Trying to Send DM UPDATE: Weiner Will Not Resign UPDATE: VIDEO ADDED
UPDATE: Dems Call for Ethics Probe

UPDATE 6:55 p.m. ET: Ace of Spades is getting ready for the Official Ewok Victory Dance Party, and observes: Bryan Preston thinks he’s already found a lie that’s easily proven. Weiner claimed he used no Congressional resources in his trim-trolling endeavors; but his office is a resource, isn’t it? I’m now on deadline for The […]
