Congressman Rogers on NSA Phone Surveillance: ‘Greenwald Doesn’t H

Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, on Sunday had harsh words for the Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald revealing last week that the National Security Agency is looking at phone records of virtually all Americans. Appearing on ABC’s This Week, Rogers said, “I know your reporter that you interviewed, Greenwald, says that he’s got it all and now is an expert on the…

A Week Later, National Press Still Virtually Ignoring 'Well-Intentione

A week ago (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), I wrote up a post on the Miami Herald's coverage of how the chief of staff of Florida Democratic Congressman Joe Garcia had admittted to attempting to orchestrate "a sophisticated scheme to manipulate last year’s primary elections by submitting hundreds of fraudulent absentee-ballot requests." I also noted that the story, which broke on Friday, May…

Texas Congressman: 'Only Way to Prevent People From Hearing Your Conve

Texas Congressman Steve Stockman (R) weighed in on the recent revelations involving the National Security Agency looking at Americans' phone records with a humorous knock at Chris Matthews' so-called "news network." Commenting on Twitter, Stockman wrote Saturday, "At this point the only way to prevent people from hearing your conversations is to have them on MSNBC":

'Mediocre' Eric Holder's Gotta Go, Says WashPost Columnist David Ignat

Washington Post columnist (and former reporter) David Ignatius is pushing for a resignation at the center of the Sunday op-ed page. “Attorney General Eric Holder is not up to the task” was the online headline of his column. The newspaper people could only use “A mediocre attorney general.” It's not the "scandals," said Ignatius. "The problem with Holder is the plain fact that, in the judgment…

WashPost 'On Faith' Editor Sally Quinn Still Hates the Boy Scouts Unti

The naked empress of The Washington Post’s “On Faith” page was at it again on Saturday, displaying for everyone that everything she writes is about the worship of secular liberalism and the protection of atheists, gay “pride” activists, and other God-haters who genuflect only to the ACLU. Like many leftists, Sally Quinn can’t be happy that the gay lobby and corporate America have  turned the…

Cavuto Cuts Mic on 'Obnoxious' Liberal Guest Echoing White House Talki

Now THAT’S what I’m talking about. Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Saturday cut the mic of the incredibly "offensive" and "obnoxious" liberal shill Julian Epstein for refusing to have a serious discussion about the current White House scandals and instead insisting on echoing Democrat talking points (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

Frank Lautenberg Eulogies Float Over His Sleazy 'October Surprise' Sen

The loving eulogies for Sen. Frank Lautenberg, heavy on the praise for curbing teenage drinking and in-flight smoking, have obscured just how sleazily he regained office in 2002. Conservatives can easily forget how uninterested the media were in that story, even as it unfolded. Late in an increasingly competitive race against Republican Doug Forrester in 2002, Torricelli “suddenly withdrew…

This is way too funny. On NBC’s Tonight Show Friday, the studio audience booed Jay Leno for telling an Esther Williams joke. The host marvelously responded, “I don’t care – I’m leaving soon.”

Maher Calls Out Supposedly ‘Conservative’ Guest for Being a RINO

CNN political contributor Ana Navarro is the liberal media’s new darling when they want a supposedly "conservative" guest to bash Republicans and support Obama. So obvious is her charade that Bill Maher on HBO’s Real Time Friday called Navarro out for it (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Bill Maher: Reagan Is ‘The Man Most Responsible For Our Decline

HBO’s Bill Maher went on another irrational, nonsensical rant against Ronald Reagan Friday. After calling arguably one of the best presidents in American history “the original, official pitchman for bats—t,” the Real Time host said Reagan was “the man most responsible for our decline” (video follows with transcribed lowlights and commentary):

‘The Purge’ Exploits American Icons to Bash America, NRA

There’s nothing like a movie that uses tons of American imagery to criticize … America. The American flag, the bald eagle, even “God Bless America” all form the backdrop for the new thriller “The Purge.” The film asks the question: What would America look like if all crime was legalized for one night a year? The trailer opens with inspiring images of “America – A nation reborn,” in the year…

Bozell Column: Guns and Grade School Panic

The specter of school shootings has brought a too-typical staple to local newspaper sections: the boys disciplined at (or suspended from) grade school for bringing a toy gun or anything resembling a gun. The Washington Post just found the latest wild overreaction, from Calvert County, Maryland, a blue state that’s cracked down on gun rights. “A kindergartner who brought a cowboy-style cap gun…

KosKooks Zap-pa Reagan's Berlin Wall Legacy

Earlier this week, a blogger argued that inspiring words from a famous Californian had much to do with the eventual dismantling of the Berlin Wall. Since the blogger was writing for Daily Kos, however, it's unsurprising that the Golden Stater he had in mind was not Ronald Reagan, but rather musician-composer Frank Zappa.  The Kossack who goes by "toncuz" devoted most of his piece to trashing…
