The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

‘How Can the Right Defend Greed?”

MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts said the title quote while discussing President Obama’s speech yesterday: Sister Toldjah is livid: This, of course, is how the debate on taxes, the deficit, the economy, etc will be framed from here on out – all the way up until the November 2012 elections, all in a repeat effort by […]

VIDEO: Herman Cain Smacks Around Liberals in MSNBC Post-Debate Panel

Seven minutes of pure awesomeness: If that’s not worth a $25 contribution, I don’t know what is. HERMAN CAIN for PRESIDENT Making Liberals Look Even More Stupid Than They Usually Look

‘Let’s Face It, the Color of His Skin’

MSNBC’s Richard Wolffe explains why you hate Obama: “What is it about this President that has stripped away the veneer of respect that normally accompanies the office of the president? Why do Republicans think that this president is unpresidential and shouldn’t dare to request this kind of thing? . . . It strikes me that […]

‘Ed Schultz With a Smaller Rack’

The title quote is how Ace of Spades describes Contessa Brewer, whose eight-year career at MSNBC has come to an inglorious end.

Strangely, this MSNBC spot isn’t available on YouTube, and some Birthers have claimed it was taken offline […]

Jonah Goldberg, in Fine Form

Worked up into a long-overdue rant: Tom Friedman — who knows a bit about Hezbollah — calls the tea partiers the “Hezbollah faction” of the GOP bent on taking the country on a “suicide mission.” All over the place, conservative Republicans are “hostage takers” and “terrorists,” “terrorists” and “traitors.” They want to “end life as […]

Obligatory ‘Chris Matthews Says Something Stupid’ Video Post

Richard McEnroe at Three Beers Later called attention to this yesterday: David Corn says “the Republicans have depicted themselves as hostage-takers who are ready to blow things up and the public doesn’t like this” — which is both untrue and stupid. Pat Buchanan then attempted to defend Republicans and the Tea Party movement. This evidently […]

Mika Brzezinski: ‘Hey, You Know What MSNBC Needs? More Obama Fans!’

OK, she didn’t exactly say that: “We’re getting hit a lot lately for not bringing on people who speak on behalf of the White House and really stick up for the President.” Joe Scarborough points out that they checked and — “Oh, my God” — their guests on Morning Joe are 10-to-1 Democrats, but they just […]
