Mike Malloy: Rush Limbaugh Is a 'Filthy, Disgusting Subhuman' Who Want

On Thursday, leftist radio talk-show host Mike Malloy launched into another of his purple-raced rants about Rush Limbaugh. He warmed up by attacking Rep. Joe Barton's apology to BP, and how Barton is a "filthy subhuman" and Republicans are "snorting, groveling filthy pigs."

Like ABC, NBC Focuses on How Obama Defines This as a 'Good Week,' As T

Just like ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Friday morning, NBC's Matt Lauer framed the end of the week as a "good week" for Obama, regardless of the bad reception his speech on Tuesday night received. Neither network ruined the Obama mojo by interviewing a Republican guest to make the reasonable suggestion that a week without the oil spill plugged is not entirely a "good week."

Newsweek Intern Assigned to Review Glenn Beck Book Admits She Only Rea

Chris Matthews Suggested Tea Parties Are Unlike Reagan -- Who Moved to

It's one thing for media liberals to suggest the Tea Party is on the fringe of the right, but when it's another when they starting putting Ronald Reagan in the center by comparison (even as Governor of California). On The Rachel Maddow Show on Tuesday, Matthews suggested that somehow America is reliably centrist, so even Reagan moved to moderation (and there's no mention of Obama's left-wing…
