How to Write an Anti-Palin Hit Piece

WASILLA, Alaska — I’m about to make the mad dash back to Anchorage, then will be making my way homeward for a couple days of rest before trying to explain to Mrs. Other McCain why I need to go to Delaware. But I thought I might share another point about those “impotent, limp and gutless” reporters: It’s […]

Sarah Palin Calls MSM Reporters ‘Impotent, Limp, and Gutless’

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Just as I was packing up here, I saw that The Right Scoop had audio of an interview Sarah Palin did with Sean Hannity: By the time you read this, I’ll be on my way to Wasilla. Pray for me, and please remember the five most important words in the English language: […]

Greetings From Anchorage!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Whenever I’m staying in a hotel, it is my habit to laud my hosts with adjectival praise, as for instance when I attended Right Online in Las Vegas at the luxurious Venetian Resort Hotel. In keeping with this tradition, I can now describe my current abode as an adequate motel near the Anchorage airport. Good news: It’s only $60 […]

One-Way Flight to Anchorage

That’s right — I booked my flight this morning, and Mrs. Other McCain has already packed my suitcase, so I’ll be in Alaska for Tuesday’s absentee-ballot count.

Thank You, Desert Renegade

Sitting here near midnight, I was feeling bummed out — lower than a snake’s belly — over this: Friday afternoon Mrs. Other McCain said, “Oh, Jim just called — you need to go pick up the part for the car.” This required a trip across town to a machine shop, where my 17-year-old son had […]

What’s the Air Fare to Anchorage? UPDATE: Miller Campaign ‘Urgently’ Seeks Funds to Fight Murkowski Recount

Yesterday I told you the NRSC advised Lisa the Loser to “go negative” on Joe Miller. And today we learn that John Cornyn’s National RINO Subversive Conspiracy has sent lawyers to Anchorage to try to steal the election from Joe: Sean Cairncross, the general counsel of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, is headed to […]

Joe Miller Didn’t Give Me Bloggola

Six weeks ago, I reported about Joe Miller’s Senate campaign in Alaska, and yesterday Ace of Spades endorsed Miller. Thanks to the Daily Caller, Ace now finds it necessary to point out that he didn’t do it for money: I got annoyed when the Tea Party Express kept asking me to promote Joe Miller. I know they […]

Tucker Carlson Says, ‘Hit the Tip Jar’?

It was kind of weird to see myself quoted in a Daily Caller story with the headline, “True stories of bloggers who secretly feed on partisan cash“: Conservative blogger Robert Stacy McCain complains that politicians aren’t purchasing more advertising on blogs. “Advertising buys good will,” he says. That complaint was in response to something reporter […]
