Hillary Gets Bitchy on Benghazi: ‘What Difference, at This Point, Does It Make?’

Kinda half-watched this morning’s Senate Benghazi hearings, mainly wondering what was up with those big ugly glasses Hillary was wearing. My favorite part was when she got irritated with Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, who was trying to pin her down on why the administration spent so long pushing the bogus “protest” talking points: SEN. JOHNSON: […]

Ask Michele Bachmann About CBS News Political Director John Dickerson

There was a great uproar over John Dickerson’s column advising Barack Obama to “go for the throat” and “declare war” on Republicans, but it wasn’t as if there were no prior evidence of Dickerson’s biases.

‘Patriotic Progressivism’, The Moron’s Oxymoron

by Smitty Begins beta-male Brooks: The best Inaugural Addresses make an argument for something. President Obama’s second one, which surely has to rank among the best of the past half-century, makes an argument for a pragmatic and patriotic progressivism. This country remains founded upon individual liberty. That a pack of liars over the last century […]
