At this week’s State of the Union address, those cards in the House and Senate are going to be a little more shuffled than usual. It seems in the interest of newing up the tone and de-rhetoricizing, the boys and girls have decided to find themselves speech buddies from across the aisle. Yes, in a move certain to send shivers of intimidation down the spines | Read More »
Jim Treacher posted this hilarious Keith Olbermann ad yesterday at The Daily Caller. Like Olby’s show, the esteem Keith has for Keith is by far the dominant message. (Full ad embedded below the fold.) Bu if you just can’t bear to click through and watch it, fear not! Treacher and Mary Katharine Ham have refined the ad for your viewing pleasure, below: . There’s really | Read More »
Dude. What can I add to that? (h/t Dan Riehl) OPEN THREAD
Last night on Countdown, Keith Olbermann covered the WCPAC confrontation between John Ziegler and David Keene. Amid the obligatory and well-worn “chuckling about the end of conservatives as we know them” routine Keith likes to trot out 9 or 10 times per episode, he suggests that perhaps Ziegler is just “defending his own crush.” You get that? See Palin is a woman. So people who | Read More »
There has been no small amount of buzz on the right the last few days in the wake of Western CPAC. There were two dramas this weekend, one decidedly more dramatic than the other, which are both symptomatic of some deep problems with the conference and, generally, with the state of activism on the right. The less dramatic of the two involved my friend Ed | Read More »
I realize you are all very busy cashing enormous checks from health care lobbyists and engaging in mob activity at town halls (with your old people and your sandals and whatnot), but please allow me to interrupt briefly with a story far too delightful to allow its passing unremarked. This is a tale of Keith Olbermann: sportscaster, eye-glasses wearer, living comedy routine and, according to | Read More »
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 »
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 »
Today’s Ed Morrissey Show features special guest Congressman Eric Cantor. Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Andrew Malcolm returns in his new Tuesday slot to discuss media and politics. In the second half, Rep. Eric Cantor joins us to talk about Barack Obama’s economic policies. We’ll also have Tommy Christopher and Caleb Howe debate the videotape allegedly depicting Joe Biden’s adult daughter | Read More »
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 »
Oh my gosh, the funny in that Kaus article is writing checks my keyboard can’t cash. I think I’m having a snarkeurysm. Let’s snip out some choice Olbermann tidbits hmm? Matthew Yglesias: I also read on TNR.com today that Jonah Goldberg, who believes that everyone on this list is a fascist, is “good-humored,” while Keith Olbermann’s work is best analogized to Glenn Beck or Michael | Read More »
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 »
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. If you didn’t catch the | Read More »

I don’t know if she’s casting about for attention or just one messed up [bad word], but Janeane’s “psychoanalysis” of Limbaugh and racial profiling of Steele, to the cheerleading of the Worst Analyst In The World is disgusting.
