Twitter Smear Update: Olbermann Redacts His Failure To Retract
By: Caleb Howe (Diary) | April 8th at 03:00 PM |
I’ve previously written at length about Keith Olbermann smearing Twitter and Dan Cooper, suggesting that they, along with Fox News, conspired to defraud America by setting up a fake Twitter account in Keith’s name. As we all know by now, Keith couldn’t have done a worse job with that segment. Not only was the Twitter account legit, he actually had a second account for his | Read More »

Kos & Kompany: Cop Shooting Equals Twitter Fun
By: Caleb Howe (Diary) | April 5th at 02:30 PM |
When we were out of power, we organized to win the next election. Conservatives, apparently, prefer to talk “revolution” and kill cops. – Markos Moulitsas This weekend, three Pittsburgh police officers were gunned down in cold blood by a disturbed gunman during an hours long standoff in what is an otherwise quiet suburb. You probably wouldn’t normally think that’s a source for clever one liners, | Read More »
White House Confuses Hillary Clinton With Sex Worker
By: Caleb Howe (Diary) | April 2nd at 12:41 PM |
That’s Hillary. Mrs. Clinton if you’re nasty. Yesterday, in what is the latest in a long, hard series of bungles by the White House, reporters who called for an “on-the-record briefing call with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton” were offered the opportunity to provide a credit card if they felt like “getting nasty.” According to Fox News, the White House distributed an email to the | Read More »

New Revelations In Case of Olbermann v. Twitter
By: Caleb Howe (Diary) | March 29th at 02:21 PM |
On Thursday, Twitter was atwitter and blogs were abuzz about Keith Olbermann’s embarrassing “Worst Person” fail, following a post by Greg Pollowitz at National Review Online highlighting the hilarity. Olbermann named Twitter his “Worst Person in the World” because he mistakenly believed he wasn’t on Twitter. He was. So I thought I’d do something that Olbermann’s entire staff consistently fails to do: research. The first | Read More »

Keith Olbermann Is A Twitt
By: Caleb Howe (Diary) | March 26th at 06:58 PM |
Never send to know for whomthe fail whale flies; it flies for thee. I was watching the Twitter pretty steadily today because the chatter about Obama’s tele-town hall was fairly amusing. I mean, sure, there was some bulltwitt, there always is. But overall worth watching. (Speaking of worth watching, second Olby story has come to my attention … video below fold) So I happened to | Read More »

Olbermann and Kos Nurse Wounded Pride

In today’s installment of “How did THAT happen” I had the pleasure of joining two of my favorite writers, NRO’s Jim Geraghty and Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey, for a debate about the ongoing ‘journolist‘ story, of late the topic which prompted Keith Olbermann and Markos Moulitsas to laugh and joke casually and in a non-lame way last night on Countdown.

Democrats Vote On IMPORTANT Message Project
By: Caleb Howe (Diary) | March 10th at 03:42 PM |
SEE THE WINNING BILLBOARDS BELOW THE FOLD Democrats are just plain bored with pretending to be hopey-changey aisle-spanners. It’s dull. So to occupy that awful dead time between leg-tingling Obama speeches, they’ve decided to launch yet another attack on a private citizen for the crime of having the wrong political persuasion. It’s just the latest salvo in President Obama’s national-security-critical "Shut up, America" strategy. This | Read More »

Dems Doubling Down On Rush Push
By: Caleb Howe (Diary) | March 7th at 06:39 PM |
It of course goes without saying that the war on Rush Limbaugh is continuing apace. Democrats are nothing if not committed to untenable positions. The more untenable the better, in fact. As we’ve endeavored to point out here at Redstate, this is all a White House distraction tactic, and it’s being executed by friendly media taking directions. The left online, naturally, jumped on board faster | Read More »
