This week, Matt Miller takes the biscuit with this idiotic post about Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak. A typical faux-progressive poseur, Miller doesn’t recognize actual principles when he sees them and thus has difficulty understanding how Stupak could allow his abortion scruples to get in the way of Obamacare. So he decides it’s just TOO ridiculous:
This entire debate is ridiculous, because the feds already […]

DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (X)
AP FUDGES REPORT ON PELOSI EFFORT TO FLIP OBAMACARE VOTES
In its capacity as Democrat propaganda ministry, the Associated Press has produced another disingenuous story on Nancy Pelosi’s doomed effort to pull new Obamacare votes out of her hat.
In a “news” article with the misleading title, “Some House foes eye switch to ‘yes’ on health care,” the once-credible wire service begins its story with an equally dishonest lede:
Ten […]
DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (VIII)
This week’s winner isn’t technically a “post.” There were a number of serious contenders in the blogosphere for this week’s prize, but none were quite as clueless as this NYT column by Nicholas Kristof.
His basic theme revolves around a false dichotomy frequently peddled by Obamacare advocates: Anyone not for a government takeover of the U.S. health care […]
POLITICO’S PHONY OBJECTIVITY ON REFORM
The establishment “news” media have a standard procedure when congressional Democrats or the President have been so incredibly dishonest that it cannot be ignored—they write stories claiming BOTH sides of the aisle have been fudging.
A classic example is this morning’s Politico piece titled, “Both sides push health-debate myths.” The article admits that Obama has been lying on reform, but falsely claims that perfectly factual GOP assertions […]
CHENEY’S PALIN COMMENT MISREPRESENTED BY “NEWS” MEDIA
The “news” media and the nutroots are deliberately misrepresenting Dick Cheney’s Palin comments to ABC news. He did NOT (as claimed at the Huffington Post, Think Progress and other “legitimate” news outlets) ”rebuke” Palin, say she was “wrong” or “take issue” with her Iran comments. He merely said that such decisions should be made based […]
PALIN & FEINSTEIN: TWO PALM READERS, TWO MEDIA STANDARDS
By now, everyone in the galaxy knows that Sarah Palin had a few crib notes written on her hand during her Tea Party speech in Nashville. How do do we know this? Because the media and the nutroots talked about little else for a solid week.
It would appear, however, that Palin is in good company where “palm reading” is concerned. […]
PALIN: ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MSM HIT PIECE
If you thought ABC’s anti-Palin jihad ended with the Gibson interview or the endless coverage of the phony “troopergate” scandal, think again. Today, they are breathlessly reporting the following non-story:
Sarah Palin has been using her political action committee to buy up thousands of copies of her book, “Going Rogue,” in order to mail copies of the memoir to her […]
DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (VII)
Since the voters of Massachusetts gave Scott Brown ”the 41st vote” against Obamacare, we have been subjected to a virtual tsunami of clueless articles and blog posts about the future of “reform.”
So, once again, it was hard to decide whose effusions were the dumbest. Nonetheless, having read who knows how much banal progressive prose on Brown’s victory, I think the prize goes to […]
SAVORING THE SWEET SMELL OF FLOP SWEAT
On the eve of Scott Brown’s probable victory in the Massachusetts Senate race, I find the aroma of Democrat angst very agreeable. If that makes me a mean-spirited right-winger, so be it. These people have it coming, and the schadenfreude is sweet. Savor Olbermann’s rage:
In Scott Brown we have an irresponsible homophobic racist reactionary ex-nude-model tea-bagging supporter of […]
SARAH PALIN & OUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS
Today, Andrew Sullivan finally abandoned the specious rationalizations he has used to justify his morbid fixation on Sarah Palin, and revealed the very real paranoia that lies at the root of his Sarahphobia:
I fear her … She is not a tabloid story. She is a threat.
Whereas most observers take Palin’s new role at Fox as an indication that she […]
