Bozell & Graham Column: Enabling the Delusional Democrats

After the 2012 campaign, liberal journalists swarmed around Republican Party chair Reince Priebus offering what was called an “autopsy” on every way Republicans failed, with a special emphasis on more outreach to minority voters.

Obvious Gruber Reference Completely Goes Over Chris Matthews's Head

Earlier today in a press conference, Speaker of the House John Boehner made a quip about President Obama's veto threat of a bill to authorize the Keystone XL oil pipeline which indirectly referenced Jonathan Gruber's infamous "stupidity of the American voter" line regarding the selling of ObamaCare.  Hardball host Chris Matthews played the clip on his November 18 program, but seemed completely…

Rush Limbaugh Compares Obamacare 'Con' to Film Version in 'The Sting'

Thank you, Rush Limbaugh, for answering a persistent question about the deceitfully-named Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare -- where have I seen this before?

Terse AP Story Shows It Clearly Wants the Gruber Story to Go Away

As I noted yesterday, the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, finally broke down on Friday and mentioned the name "Jonathan Gruber" in a news story — a Friday afternoon item which, among other things, dishonestly attempted to distance the Affordable Care Act advisor from his long acknowledged and celebrated (until recently) "architect" role. As of early this evening, the only other…

Tiger Woods Slams Fake Interview That Makes Him Look Like a 'Jerk'

While many attention-seeking celebrities would agree with the statement, “bad press is still press,” professional golfer Tiger Woods apparently does not. And he has good reason.

Jon Stewart In Midterm Denial: 'Head Lice Does Better Than Congress'

Appearing on "The O'Reilly Factor," Comedy Central star Jon Stewart said Democrats lost the midterms "Because they curled up in a little ball and tried to make sure that nobody hit them too hard...I don’t even know what they ran on....Right? Here’s what they ran on: ‘We don’t like Obama either. I don’t know who voted for him. We’ve got nothing to do with the guy.’” But Stewart still claimed…

HuffPost and Feminists: Stop ‘Slut-Shaming' Since ‘Sluts Don’t Exist!’

Question: if there’s no such thing as a slut, how can anyone be guilty of “slut-shaming?”  Don’t dismiss it as one of those timeless philosophical conundrums (ie. “Which came first, the slut or the shamer?”). The answer is an important key to navigating the shoals of perpetual feminist outrage.

Univision's Jorge Ramos Pre-Poisons Immigration Well

When asked about the ramifications of potential executive action on immigration, incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suggested such action by President Barack Obama would "poison the well".

Alternet Writer Suggests Moms Are ‘Environmental Villains’

If you asked a scientist to create a test-tube liberal, chances are his product couldn’t hold a candle to Maria Luisa Tucker. Tucker, a new mother, is celebrating the arrival of her little bundle of joy by mooning over the “environmental impact of procreation.” Really.
