Kirsten Powers: 'Complete and Utter Myth' That Illegal Aliens Receive Welfare, Other Benefits
By Jack Coleman | August 24, 2012 | 7:10 PM EDT

WaPo Asks 'Who Cares' if President Golfs During Crisis, Forgets They Did in 2002
By Lachlan Markay | June 15, 2010 | 10:56 AM EDT
Poor Barack Obama. Being president can take a lot out of him. That's why he needs  to relax on the links, and relieve some stress into his golf game. No problem, says the Washington Post, the Gulf Spill can wait. This is the same Washington Post that berated President Bush for golfing while an armed conflict was taking place…in Israel.

Not that suicide bombings in Israel are an unserious matter, but doesn't the disaster in the Gulf require at least as much attention (far more, in my mind) from the President? The Post doesn't seem to think so.

'60 Minutes' at It Again with Rove/Siegelman Story?
By Bob Owens | February 28, 2008 | 6:29 PM EST

Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft shares the news of another possible election year meltdown at CBS News.

"60 Minutes" recently aired the claim that former Alabama governor Don Siegelman went to jail not for corruption, but because he belong to the wrong political party, and that the investigations that landed him in jail for bribery were politically motivated.

One of the most explosive claims made was that Karl Rove was involved in an attempt to entrap Siegelman:
