'One Long Cheap Shot' -- WashPost Lines Up Canadians to Bash Cruz
While The Washington Post would only go to Kenya looking for gushing over Barack Obama, they turn to Canada to make fun of Ted Cruz. The front-page story on Saturday was headlined “Calgary's stand on Cruz: 'The States can keep him'.”

George McFly Laughs at Hillary's Iowa Caucus 'Victory'
George McFly is laughing heartily over Hillary Clinton claiming to have won the Iowa caucuses.

Steinem: Young Women Back Bernie Because 'That's Where the Boys Are'
The past week has been tough on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. The 2016 primaries and caucuses were supposed to be a coronation, not a a contest.

Blogger Backs Trump ‘Revolt’ of GOP ‘Proletariat’ Against Big Donors
In a Friday piece, New York magazine’s Jonathan Chait delved into why he’d welcome seeing Donald Trump atop this year’s Republican ticket. For one thing, there's the possibility of permanently driving a wedge between the party’s masses and its financial elite. “The GOP is a machine that harnesses ethno-nationalistic fear…to win elections and then, once in office, caters to its wealthy donor base…
People Mag Gushes Over Hillary, Chelsea, and Charlotte On the Trail

WashPost Uses Gay Advocate/Priest to Nudge Pope to 'Reform' Church
When The Washington Post took up publicizing a priest coming out of the closet as gay – in Chicago – it strangely put it on the front of the Metro section on Monday. You can be sure someone wanted that on the front of the whole paper.
The headline was a quote: “I’m gay and I’m a priest, period.” The subhead was “Catholic clergy grapple with whether to come out in the Pope Francis era. The Post…
Brit Hume, Chris Matthews Both Compare Rubio to Dan Quayle
Chris Matthews and Brit Hume are, it's safe to say, probably rarely in agreement on much.

Lloyd Bentsen (D-Texas).

NBC's Jackson Tries, Fails to Get Trump to Say Rubio Lost Debate
Catching up with Donald Trump in the "spin room" after Saturday's GOP debate, NBC's Hallie Jackson attempted to get Donald Trump to say who he thought "lost" the GOP debate, hoping, perhaps, to get the New Hampshire frontrunner to attack Sen. Marco Rubio. For his part, Trump refused to take the bait.
Suddenly Less Snarky Maddow Forced to Admit Rubio Did Well in Iowa
While providing a post-mortem on the results of the Iowa caucuses, Rachel Maddow could not resist resorting to kneejerk sarcasm, which she found immensely hilarious, making it all the more satisfying when Maddow was forced to backpedal soon thereafter.
The target of her snark? Sen. Marco Rubio's unexpectedly strong showing in Iowa, which was one of the major stories to emerge from this cycle's…
Albright: 'Special Place in Hell' For Women Who Don't Vote For Hillary
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin referred to Madeleine Albright's somewhat well-known saying, found on a Starbucks coffee cup, that "There's a special place in Hell for women who don't help other women." At the time, Albright, who served as Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, huffed: "Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen…
Biden Donors Want VP to Enter 2016 Race; AP, NY Times Ignore
Folks who get their news from a wide variety of sources likely know by now that there is enough concern about the electability of Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders that a prominent Democratic Party donor has "emailed dozens of fans of Vice President Joe Biden on Friday, urging them to remain prepared to donate if Biden jumps into the (presidential) race." But two outlets which have become de…
WashPost: The Media's Not Partisan, Just Loves a 'Juicy Story'
The Washington Post is dragging out one of the oldest and phoniest arguments against the charge of liberal bias, an argument that has all the freshness of four-month-old milk. To sum up in a headline: “The media’s biggest bias isn’t partisan — it’s for a juicy story.”
If this claim hadn’t been completely obliterated by every juicy thing Bill Clinton did with women he hadn’t married, we can…
