After watching last night’s Oscars, one thing is clear: the show is played out. Everybody agrees. Nikki Finke’s take on the Academy Awards was absolutely brutal: “Is the show over yet? It’s dragged on almost 2 1/2-hours. Kill me now.”
Remember when Charles Blow of The New York Times was fussing about the tea party’s supposed racism? Blow called the Dallas Tea Party “a minstrel show,” and a “bizarre spoof of a 1980s Benetton ad.” He sneered, “It was a farce … It’s almost all

Chalk another one up to “bipartisanship.” David Dewhurst, the lieutenant governor of Texas, spent time in November hanging out with his left-wing friends in Washington D.C. to raise a little scratch for his run for the Senate. One of those
Having recognized that he cannot outflank Rick Santorum from the right, Mitt Romney is now mimicking Newt Gingrich’s anti-Romney strategy, moving to the left with populist economic rhetoric. Here’s what he said in Arizona yesterday: The transcript, in relevant part:
After yesterday’s campaign debacle in which Matt Drudge released a 2008 video starring Rick Santorum speaking at a church about Satan’s spiritual assault on the United States, Santorum began to right the ship by hitting precisely the right note on

The Republican debate that just ended moments ago should not inspire confidence for Republicans. With Barack Obama suddenly rising in the polls, and a shocking number of Americans convinced of the nonsensical proposition that the economy is dramatically improving, the
On Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated program yesterday, GOP frontrunner Rick Santorum said that the United States should arm the Syrian rebels: Here’s the transcript, in relevant part (beginning at 6:21): SANTORUM: We’d be aiding the rebels. We’d be
Why are the producers of HBO’s “Game Change” focusing so heavily on Sarah Palin when the book of the same name concerned the entire 2008 campaign? There are two answers. The first is simple: Palin’s a draw. Hollywood knows it,
For all those who believe that the Republican level of enthusiasm is high enough to overcome Obama’s inherent advantages as an incumbent, this is sobering information: at the end of January, Obama had $76 million in his campaign coffers. All the
