Shorter Ace: ‘Bitches Lie’

A grossly unfair oversimplification of Ace’s argument? Sure. But in a multi-candidate Republican primary campaign where everybody’s cutting each other to ribbons, who can complain — if anyone even notices — when I gratuitously play the sexism card?

Sean Hannity Flummoxed By Michelle Malkin

by Smitty At American Power: South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley Endorses Mitt Romney Well, what’s amazing is Nikki Haley is touted as a “tea party favorite.” But Michelle Malkin calls Romney a progressive at the video.

Last night’s final debate in Sioux City was probably the best yet for Rick Santorum, says Bryan Preston of PJ Media, noting that the former Pennsylvania senator “showed very solid instincts on a range of issues” — as he has all along.
