Richard Cohen Might Be Racist
By: streiff (Diary) | July 29th at 07:55 AM |
Of course the title is in jest and refers to Allahpundit’s groundbreaking discovery of the Unified Field Theory of Obama Criticism: if you criticize him you are racist and hostis humani generis. Though I think Richard Cohen guilty of unspeakable crimes against logic and reason, no one could think him racist. But given the state of the political left today, I suspect he will be | Read More »
Chuck Hagel Defends Obama
By: streiff (Diary) | July 28th at 08:51 AM |
I’ve made no secret of my begrudging though total support for John McCain. But the petty little man who lurks within all of us couldn’t help but chuckling (badum-CHING) as fellow maverick, lameduck Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel stuffed the shiv in after Senator McCain had the audacity to hope that his former backers in the media would let him take a long overdue and well | Read More »
Tom Coburn vs. Harry Reid Cage Match
By: streiff (Diary) | July 28th at 08:33 AM |
Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) in in a no-holds-barred cage match with Senate Majority Leader Harry and, oddly enough, the Washington Post isn’t reflexively jumping to the defense of the scrappy, embattled, former pugilist from Searchlight, Nevada. Coburn has become best known as the lawmaker who says no — no to increased funding for unsolved civil rights crimes, no to creation of a national registry for | Read More »
The Silence of the Lambs
By: streiff (Diary) | July 25th at 01:21 PM |
Someone has to say it. Unless a fraud of the magnitude we’ve learned to expect from the New York Times or CBS News has been perpetrated on the public, John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress (lover, paramour, concubine, courtesan, kept woman, lady friend, squeeze, strange, etc.) in Beverly Hills hotel. A mistress who may or may not have given birth to his child, but | Read More »
Maryland Update

McCain’s Baltimore fundraiser was picketed by Laborer’s International Union, a front for organized crime. Of course being shouted at by members of an organized crime front group is not really a bad thing. I’d think being supported by them should be an item of concern. A writer at our own little ersatz version, Soros-funded mind you, of the DailyKos tries to argue against school vouchers. | Read More »
Reflections on Obama in Berlin
By: streiff (Diary) | July 23rd at 10:25 AM |
As Barack Obama conducts a campaign event in front of a column memorializing three wars of aggression by 19th century Prussia I hope every Berliner realizes what an Obama-like presidency in 1948 would have meant for them. Today Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus helps us recall: But there are lessons from the airlift that should be more unsettling for those, like Obama, who want to | Read More »
Washington Post Reporters Take Another Dive in the Tank
By: streiff (Diary) | July 23rd at 09:56 AM |
Yesterday we posted on the pretty obvious dive into the tank the Washington Post was taking for Barack Obama. As evidence we pointed to the rather shameless sucking up Dan Eggen and Sudarsan Raghavan offered to the Obama campaign at the expense of their integrity — or whatever passes for such a notion with them — and the truth. It seems as though we may | Read More »
The Washington Post Goes in the Tank for Obama
By: streiff (Diary) | July 22nd at 07:49 AM |
The media have already picked their winner. My colleagues Pejman Yousefzedeh and Bob Hahn have pointed to a Rassmussen poll that indicates 49% of sentient Americans believe the media is in the tank for Barack Obama Today on the front page of the Washington Post two reporters, with a thrill running up their collective leg, demonstrate the veracity of this poll by engaging in blatant, | Read More »
Barack Obama’s Bitburg Moment
By: streiff (Diary) | July 18th at 06:51 PM |
Barack Obama has apparently given up on the idea of attempting to draw parallels between himself and John F. Kennedy by going to Berlin. (Not to say there aren’t obvious parallels: unprepared and feckless to be sure but too early to have the Bay of Pigs.) He’s still going to Berlin. And we’re informed that he will bring his HOPECHANGE carnie act to the Siegessäule. | Read More »
