The Neitzschean Existential Angst of Blogging in the Same Sphere as Ace

BTW, in case you didn’t know it, @joenbc hates conservative talk-radio with the heat of ten thousand suns. — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) December 10, 2012 OK, the pretentious title is both: An anti-intellectual mockery of show-offs who throw around terms like “existential angst”; and An honest admission of inner doubts about my own relevance, […]

Another Sad Installment in the Series: ‘Why the Hell Is Chris Matthews on TV?’

Chris Matthews just said some crazyass shit on #MSNBC that’s gonna blow your mind when you see it. Got that clip, Media Research? — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) October 23, 2012 My usual habit after debates has been to switch to MSNBC and see what their reaction is. I know that the Fox News crew […]

@hardball_chris ‘Pecksniff’ Matthews Goes After Welch’s Calling BS On BLS

by Smitty “It’s not funny, Jack.” Why, yes it is, Mr. Matthews.

Mitt Romney Spars With David Gregory On Meet The Press

by Smitty Highly recommended: Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Romney seemed completely controlled, not engaging where and when and to his desired degree on every point. Can anyone think of a time #OccupyResoluteDesk has faced an interview of even half this rigor? Via Althouse, the transcript.

When It Comes to ‘Brazen Lies,’
Nobody Excels Joan Walsh

TAMPA, Florida By now, you’re familiar with the pattern for Republican National Convention coverage: Democrats choose their themes, issue their talking points and their media henchpersons then repeat the partisan spin as if it were a matter of indisputable fact. It was decided in advance that a major theme of media coverage would be “Republicans […]

Chris Matthews: Pecksniff

by Smitty Via Hot Air, Politico, emphasis mine: “It is obvious that this is something I care passionately about: race was abused by white politicians in my lifetime, including Reagan. For someone to come on the program and deny that this is part of their process, I couldn’t take that,” Matthews said. “This is something […]
