Vox’s Ezra Klein: ‘Al Gore Should Run For President’

Klein thinks pushing the climate-change issue might cost Gore votes, but it’s a risk that could pay off big if Gore’s elected, since “climate change is an issue where the president has real unilateral authority.” In any event, funding the campaign wouldn’t seem problematic. Klein noted that Gore himself now is “fabulously wealthy — richer, even, than Mitt Romney” and added, given super-rich…

New Yorker Editor Fears Hillary Has No Competition And a Weak Press

New Yorker editor David Remnick, formely a foreign correspondent for The Washington Post, is a notable figure in the Thrill Up My Leg department for Obama, but is not much of a Hillary Clinton fan right now.

Susan Estrich: Hillary Should Turn Over Her E-Mail Server

Susan Estrich is a bigtime Hillary Clinton supporter. Therefore it was no surprise that in her March 6 column she wrote off the Hillary e-mail scandal as mere silliness. However, following reader input and Hillary's disastrous press conference at the United Nations, Estrich had a bit of a change of heart. Not exactly a 180. More like a 90 chock full of extreme naivete.

Liam Neeson: Live by the Gun, Die by the Gun Control?

OK, it’s probably not cause and effect, but it’s definitely karma. Liam Neeson’s new flick, Run All Night, just posted the worst opening of any of the Irish actor’s action movies.

Carville 'Suspects' Hillary's Private Server Set Up to Dodge Oversight

After his appearance yesterday on ABC's "This Week," Hillary Clinton may be wondering whose side James Carville is on. Never mind Carville's frequent and rude interruptions of other guests, his seemingly calculated incoherence, and his false claims about the Clintons' past record of corruption. Even though that behavior doesn't represent the Clintons well, they have to know that's part of the…

NY Times Mangles Obama's Net Neutrality Power Grab

As we know - America’s media is for the most part decidedly Leftist, often befuddled and rarely right.  So when they wade into an intricate issue like President Barack Obama’s Net Neutrality Internet power grab - we can only expect even more Leftism, befuddlement and wrongness. On February 26, the Obama Administration’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) pretended to be Congress and rewrote…

Mika Brzezinski: Tom Cotton a 'Toddler' and 'Fool'

Imagine the audacity of a freshman senator presuming to speak out forcefully on foreign affairs!  What?  You thought we were alluding to Barack Obama, who after less than a year in the Senate and with no discernible foreign policy credentials began a campaign to become Commander-in-Chief? No, no, no!  We were talking about Tom Cotton, of course!  On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski…

USA Today Columnist Defends Hillary's Server As 'Responsibly Paranoid'

In Friday’s USA Today, media columnist Michael Wolff came out defending Hillary Clinton’s shifty e-mail tactics as ... “responsibly paranoid.” Wolff barely nods to the argument of "do-gooders" and “schadenfreudeists” that perhaps when four Americans die in a terrorist attack at a badly secured consulate in Benghazi, e-mail might help figure out the mess. That’s “vastly disingenuous,” because e-…

Krauthammer: Hillary's Private Server Scandal Is 'Not Over'

With her 21-minute press conference admitting she should have had two phones for her e-mail practices, Hillary Clinton wants to put the matter behind us, the media wants to move on, and it looks like Americans are going to be forced to watch the Clintons dodge another scandalous bullet. But during his guest appearance on Thursday’s Special Report With Bret Baier, Charles Krauthammer supplied a…
