Eugene Robinson, a stage four Obama apologist at the Washington Post, thinks the Republican party is “all shook up” over Joe Barton’s portrayal of the Obama-BP “meeting” as a shakedown. Strange words coming from an MSM Obama shill who himself

Thursday night at the White House, we Yanks gave Sir Paul McCartney the Gershwin Prize–the equivalent of the Purple Heart for songwriting–and in a brief info-mercial for British deference and class, Sir Paul gave this short, gracious speech in return:

[youtube aUB4XcQYq9A nolink] Joe McGinniss has broken no law by renting the house adjacent to Palin’s. McGinniss is technically within his rights to become Palin’s next-door neighbor. And of course, being technically within one’s rights is a perfectly valid justification
As the nearly two-year-old Palin piñata-fest demonstrates, for the devout liberal the intersection of Sorority Street and Politics Avenue is left-turn only. To no one’s surprise, Sarah Palin remains the left’s First Lady of political feminae non gratae, the gold
After more than 20 agonizing months in exile at an undisclosed location, Mayor Ed Koch’s runaway mind made a daring escape from its captor, Obama-mania, this week and has at last come home safe and sound. At 85, the former

Sometimes you just can’t believe your eyes. Read this sentence from today’s Politics Nation (“Blumenthal Camp: Vietnam Issue Behind Us“) and then ask yourself if you or the ” Democratic strategist” is the crazy one: “This [how Richard Blumenthal handled
A drowning man will cling to any spar. A drowning Democrat to any Critz. There’s nothing wrong with clinging to spars when you’re shipwrecked in mid-ocean. It beats the alternative. But one should never mistake spars for lifeboats. As Eleanor
Tea Party Patriots, rejoice! With enemies like Michael Kinsley, who needs friends? Read between the sneering lines of Kinsley’s May 18th column in The Atlantic and you may just find an unintended love-letter to the very Tea Party Patriots he
Why does talent get a pass? And to what extent does the “morality paradox” color our view of great artists? Roman Polanski’s best films, like all great films, are very moral–in particular Chinatown and The Pianist. They deal with socially
A gray beard and a 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics go a long way to establishing a fellow’s credibility in discussing the current situation in Greece and how it relates to the U.S. economy. In his May 13 New York
Arizona’s controversial immigration law has prompted many threats of boycotts. Now it’s spawned a new form of protest: the girlcott. Until today, first place in the Arizona boycott stupidity contest was held by the brilliant MENSA minds who decided to
In Robert Wright’s May 11 New York Times essay,“The Making of a Terrorist,” we learn a very interesting and useful fact: terrorists are complicated. No offense, Hamlet, but there needs no ghost come from the grave to tell us this.
President Obama delivered the commencement address at Hampton University in Virginia on Sunday and, for those accustomed to his usual dose of narcissism, hypersensitivity, and self-serving historical revisionism, the Kvetcher-in-Chief didn’t disappoint. Here’s the text of the speech, courtesy of
You can’t accuse E.J. Dionne of not trying. In this Washington Post article he does quite a Cirque du Soleil contortionist routine in his effort to convince us that “big” government is to be trusted and that the Tea Party
When otherwise intelligent writers like the Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson lose their minds, one has the audacity to hope that Michele Obama and her Obesity Police will add Kool-Aid to the list of sugary drinks they’d like to ban. With

Any one else feeling a little sorry for Donny Deutsch lately? I mean, this guy just can’t catch a break. Truth be told, the cards were stacked against the ad mogul from day one. According to Wikipedia, Deutsch was born
