Gov. Rendell: ‘Keith Olbermann Should Be On The Obama Payroll
When it comes to media bias, if liberals are not only able to recognize your press organization's lack of impartiality, but also assert such when cameras are rolling, you know you're not fooling anybody. Such appears to certainly be the case with cable network MSNBC, and, in particular, its "Countdown" host, which both were the targets of Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) a few weeks ago when he…
Andrew Sullivan: Rumsfeld Will Be Indicted For War Crimes
Despite having officially left the White House in December 2006, the mere mention of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's name is almost as certain to evoke uncontrollable vitriol from liberal media members as someone saying in their presence "George W. Bush," "Dick Cheney," or "Halliburton."With this in mind, it certainly was not surprising to see Atlantic magazine's senior editor Andrew…

Open Thread
For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Charlton Heston died Saturday at the age of 84. What do you think was the best scene from all of his movies? Was it the following classic from "Ben-Hur":
Daily Kos Attacking Charlton Heston on His Passing
I guess we shouldn't expect any sense of decorum from Kossacks, but it is pretty lame that they had to unleash their hatred only minutes after the announcement of the passing of famed American actor Charlton Heston. A Daily Kos "diarist" named doriangz started out calling Heston a "gun-nut" and ending with his life and causes being considered "political nutdouchebaggery," and the incivility just…
Olbermann and Think Progress Quote Al Qaeda #2 to Discredit McCain
In yet another in a disgraceful series of indecent journalistic collaborations, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Hillary Clinton's Think Progress actually quoted al Qaeda's second in command Ayman al-Zawahiri to discredit Republican presidential candidate John McCain (video embedded right, use scrollbars to properly center). I kid you not.Our story begins on Thursday when Think Progress managing…
