Apparently, having a baby in public is using said baby as a prop but using said baby as a ploy against the object of your political hatred is not using baby as a prop at all. Interesting logic. I feel

I got this photo in a text message from a friend. It’s a photo of his friend’s house, and the family was due to close on it this week. St. Louis isn’t a stranger to storms; by the time you

Like all too many Americans TIME Magazine proves that it doesn’t know what is worth celebrating, noting, or memorializing in this world. Time doesn’t know what “important” means, it doesn’t know what “influential” means, it doesn’t even know what “top”

Did you know the high holy days for three major religions are upon us? Passover, Easter, and … Earth Day. And it’s all about population control. On Earth Day, Earthers bow down and worship Mother Gaia — this year on

We have an update on the story of CBS’s refusal to release the full recording of His Presidency Barack Obama calling American workers “Slugs.” Blogger John Romano of Yes But However has been doing the work of a real reporter,

On Tuesday evening the New York Observer posted an interview with Andrew Breitbart written by Kat Stoeffel. In it she invented a new and preposterous claim about the Shirley Sherrod story: According to Mr. Breitbart, fellow Tea Partier Glenn Beck

I’ve always appreciated Steve Wynn for his ability to get to the heart of the matter. We haven’t always agreed on everything, but after nearly 30 years covering him in Las Vegas, I have always found him to be straight

You have to hand it to Andrew Breitbart; he doesn’t avoid “enemy” territory. The political activist/web entrepreneur/ showman is on tour hawking his new book, Righteous Indignation. Yesterday, the book tour took him to Martin Bashir’s program on MSNBC. But

Do you think that attacking a baby with Down Syndrome is beyond the realm of human decency? If so, you’re a prude. Get with the times! It’s fun to attack special needs children and call them “retarded.” Sure, I called

Washington (AP) – In a stunning announcement this morning on The Today Show, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told host Matt Lauer she will leave the Administration and challenge Barack Obama for the 2012 Democratic Presidential nomination. Transcript follows: LAUER:

Applause, Internet. You did this. Read here: A post on this page satirizing Sarah Palin using her baby as a political prop was very badly done and sounded like the author was mocking the child and not just Sarah Palin/Sarah

Inside the political vacuum, the headline story on Drudge was none other than Obama’s birth certificate. It’s the story that just won’t go away-and it won’t go away until Obama himself releases the long-form document. But with the coming release

I hate to point out that the photos of Wonkette’s Jack Stuef looks just like you would expect a guy who thinks it’s cool to trash a three-year old with Down ‘s syndrome because he disagrees with the child’s mother’s

I love how MSNBC’s Martin Bashir essentially begins the interview with Andrew Breitbart as such: “I think you’re Satan and you eat babies. Why do you do that?” Bashir spends the remainder of the interview using borrowed intel from Media

First Wonkette deleted comments, then they deleted Stuef’s byline. Now this: UPDATE: I regret this post and using the word “retarded” in a reference to Sarah Palin’s child. It’s not nice, and is not necessary, but I take responsibility for

Gary Eaton and Shelli Eaton, the talented songwriters behind Retracto’s theme song, have penned a fabulous tune based around a phrase I use to describe the incessant water-carrying done by the left: administration fellation. They’re a fantastic band, an amalgam

From Legal Insurrection: First of all, Sarah Palin doesn’t “parade” her kids around any more than any other politician. Hey Ken, have you seen all those photos of the Obama kids with their parents on vacation and elsewhere? I’ve addressed

This is why we take screenshots. BEFORE: AFTER: This is somehow better than an apology? They’re apparently deleting the offensive comments as well while pretending such comments never existed. PREVIOUSLY: Wonkette Removes Writer’s Name From Trig Hit Piece Mediaite to

Is this supposed to make it all better? Posted by Dave Weigel at Slate: UPDATE: Wonkette editor Ken Layne looped me in on an e-mail to AdWeek, in which he wrote that Steuf has been admonished. I have four kids

While we disagree with Mediaite from time to time in this space, there is one thing on which we do agree and that is children used as political targets: you shouldn’t. Tommy Christopher takes on Wonkette Editor Ken Layne: If

As a result of this morning’s post condemning an outrageous post from Wonkette in which blogger Jack Stueff mocks Trig Palin over his Down Syndrome and suggests that Todd Palin slept with his daughter, outrage spread across Twitter and now

The other night, a funny thing happened on the way to an idea… With an absurd attack against Sarah Palin, the MSM proved a point I was going to make about the potent power of Twitter better than I ever

You hear this mantra everywhere in the activist old media, “The Republican candidates for president are flawed,” “Republicans are not happy with their candidates.” George Stephanopoulos goes to the “Smart Screen” on Good Morning America with the latest poll/editorial that
