Former Barack Obama senior advisor David Axelrod on Tuesday demonstrated why it's absurd for him to have been hired by NBC News at the beginning of his previous boss's second term. Appearing on Morning Joe, Axelrod struck back at CBS's Bob Schieffer for his criticism of the White House on Sunday's Face the Nation (video follows with transcript and commentary):

No wonder show is already cancelled.

Do people still mail resumes? If so John Heilemann can save himself the stamp required to send his to Vanity Fair, should he ever consider a shift from his current spot at New York. On today's Morning Joe, Heilemann bizarrely trashed—excuse the pun—the staff at Vanity Fair.  Said the Game Change co-author: "it's well known Vanity Fair has a congenital, pervasive alcohol dependency problem…

The Washington Post occasionally must enjoy sounding completely preposterous. In a Tuesday book review, we’re told in the headlines that gay activist and sex columnist Dan Savage is “on a healing mission” and underneath his “wit,” he only “wants reconciliation.” The Post, which routinely avoids stooping to review conservative best-sellers, assigned gay activist Chandler Burr (“the former…

Ads appeared on Sunday night’s season finale of “Smash” for a “Women’s Concert for Change” to air on NBC from London on June 2. Presenters include not just Madonna and Salma Hayek, but also Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Gloria Steinem. It’s to benefit “Chime for Change,” a new campaign to “raise funds and awareness for female empowerment around the world, distributed to non-profit…

What is it about liberal disdain for America's most-revered national holidays? Consider HBO Girls star Lena Dunham who chose to tweet hours ago, "Happy Memorial Day! I've already peed in two different Starbucks bathrooms!"

On May 4, the town of Beverly, Massachusetts threw a huge parade and concert for 19-year-old “American Idol” contestant Angie Miller, who made the top three in the competition.“It’s a great chance to show off our fair city,” Mayor Bill Scanlon said. The city spent $31,200 on security, cleanup and other costs associated with the events, he said. So it must have looked like an odd contrast in…

As NewsBusters reported last week, MSNBC's Chris Matthews had the nerve on Friday's Hardball to call Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) "the unsmiling, contemptuous face of the wild, nasty, hard-right fringe." On May 11, 2013, Cruz gave the commencement address at Hillsdale College. I wonder if you agree with Mr. Matthews (video follows with commentary):

Jason Richwine -- who recently resigned from the Heritage Foundation over objectively observing, in the words of a Fox News report, "that Hispanics had a lower IQ than American whites, and that their descendants would too" -- call wherever your new office is. Or maybe go left and apply for a job at Mother Jones. At that the arch-liberal rag, Erika Eichelberger, in objecting to a congressional…

On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume hammered at fellow Fox analyst Juan Williams for asserting Attorney General Eric Holder was “the exact right person” to investigate his own Justice Department’s excesses in probing journalists for leaks. Not even Bob Schieffer was buying that idea on CBS. He said it "makes no sense."  Williams tried to blame the Republicans and the Bush administration for the…

Radio host Hugh Hewitt's interviews with reporters can be fascinating. On Tuesday, he pressed New York Times reporter Michael Shear about the question of what President Obama was doing on the night of September 11, 2012 as the Benghazi consulate came under a vicious terrorist attack. Shear showed an obvious distaste for digging into this, saying "relevance is in the eye of the beholder" and "I'…

File under the Stupid Things Biden Says a letter he recently wrote to a child about chocolate ammunition: “I really like your idea. If we had guns that shot chocolate, not only would our country be safer, it would be happier. People love chocolate.” Over at the website Rare.us, they posted a YouTube video from some Iraq veterans that took Biden’s notion and put it on its ear. You’ll want to…

Just posted to MRC.org this Memorial Day, the latest edition of MRC's Notable Quotables newsletter, recounting the most outrageous quotes from the liberal media. This week: the media warn that "voters will punish" Republicans if they "overplay their hand" and actually investigate the multiple scandals swirling around the Obama administration. At the same time, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell…
