Bozell Column: Obama's World Class Arrogance

When President Obama came to the U.N. General Assembly on September 25, his arrogance was on full display. He skipped meeting any world leaders, but did find time to sit down and talk about his lover moves on ABC’s “The View.” Topics included how he’s a “romantic husband,” how he “tucks in” his wife at night, and how his first kiss with Michelle is now memorialized by a monument in Chicago.…

Thom Hartmann Claims 'Ralph Reed Fundamentalists' Are Like the Taliban

Liberal radio host Thom Hartmann was really irritated at a Mother Jones article that laid out how Ralph Reed's Faith and Freedom Coalition had a mailer with a poll asking if President Obama was a "more serious threat" than Nazi Germany or Japan in World War II, and if the public believed Obama had "communist beliefs" to the left of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. But any right that Hartmann had…

Senior Washington correspondent Jonathan Allen gushed, "Joe Biden’s bringing sexy back — to the Medicare-eligible set." The journalist, who touts his "National Press Club’s Sandy Hume Award for Excellence in Political Journalism," rhapsodized, "The vice president, who…

Daily Beast Headline Link to Eli Lake's Story About Pre-9/11 Benghazi

The headline writers at the Daily Beast are either dumber than a box of rocks, or really, really don't like the content of Eli Lake's story today. The smart money should be on the latter. As of 5:20 p.m., Lake's story concerning previous attacks on Benghazi, numerous security warnings, and the State Department's refusal to beef up protection was Number 2 in the rotation on the Daily Beast's…

MSNBC Strangely Silent About Racially-Tinged Attack Ads, Fliers Agains

As even the casual reader of NewsBusters is well aware, the MSNBC cable news network is forever on the lookout for racially-tinged "code words" in Republican speeches and "dog whistle" ads by GOP super PACs against Democrats.

Bravo's Andy Cohen: I'd Marry Paul Ryan, 'Hate-Shag' Rick Santorum and

Andy Cohen plays a ridiculous game on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live called "Marry, Shag, or Kill" in which he gives three names to his guests, and they have to choose who they'd marry, shag, and kill. On Current TV's Say Anything Monday, host Joy Behar played this game with Cohen with the subjects being conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, Republican presidential nominee Paul Ryan,…

CBS Highlights Kerry's Debate Prep Help for Obama; Omits He Lost '04 E

Talk about missing the elephant (or is it donkey?) in the room – on Tuesday's CBS This Morning, Nancy Cordes reported that Senator John Kerry is "playing Mitt Romney in mock debates" with President Obama before Wednesday's debate. But she didn't once mention that Kerry's debate skills didn't help him in 2004, when he lost a presidential race to President George W. Bush. Cordes did note that…
