On The Daily Show on Thursday night, Jon Stewart interviewed Judge Andrew Napolitano of Fox News, and Napolitano began by joking, “You’re not going to make me defend O’Reilly?” Stewart asked “Could you?” As if that were impossible. Stewart quickly turned to how Fox News is worried about a “tipping point” where minorities can decide elections. Strangely, Stewart assumed O’Reilly said…

Former Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat's grave was dug up in Israel's West Bank Saturday. This was part of a planned exhumation to examine his remains for exposure to a deadly radioactive isotope.

As she moved into an interview with former Obama spokesman Bill Burton on Wednesday night, Rachel Maddow claimed it was somehow insane to resist the idea of Susan Rice being the next Secretary of State after Rice lied on five Sunday shows about Benghazi. Maddow claimed somehow John McCain was the one inventing Benghazi stories: "But if it's made-up -- like the John McCain crusade against Susan…

The liberal media cheerleading for United Nations ambassador Susan Rice to become Secretary of State despite her repeated claims that September's attack on our consulate in Libya were a reaction to an anti-Muslim video are becoming nauseating. On PBS's Inside Washington Friday, Politico's Roger Simon actually said, "John McCain named Sarah Palin to be a heartbeat away from the presidency but…

Schlockumentarian Michael Moore on Friday took an ironic shot at the Fox News Channel. Appearing on HBO's Real Time, the perilously liberal propagandist said, "By watching Fox News you have de-evolved" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

UPDATE AT END OF POST: Hannity responds. Bill Maher on Friday told Fox News’s Sean Hannity to commit suicide.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie must be getting tired of the fat jokes routinely lobbed in his direction by the liberal media. While doing a news conference Friday, he refused to answer a reporter's question about Hostess Twinkies saying instead, "I'm on Saturday Night Live enough" (video follows with transcript and commentary, photo courtesy Getty Images):

A Christian can be crushed gazing at the picture of Mary standing at the foot of the cross, watching her beloved son suffocate, and die. But in that vision she stands there for hours, patiently enduring her suffering. For two millennia, she has been a role model for Christians, a woman who practiced obedience in the most difficult of human circumstances, with fervent hope for what this…

Yesterday, AFL-CIO head Richard Trumka may have broken a modern record for chutzpah exhibited by a labor leader Friday in criticizing management's decision at bankrupt snack maker Hostess Brands to liquidate in the wake of irreconcilable issues with its unions. In a Friday afternoon report at Politico, Kevin Cirilli not only let Trumka get away with it; he also lent the labor leader's…

As CBS, NBC and MSNBC kept trying to use the new Lincoln movie to compare Lincoln to President Obama, it should be said that this is not the first time. Not even this month: Washington Post columnist Colbert King compared Obama to Lincoln and Romney to Andrew Johnson on the Saturday before the election. Then there was 2008. For example, CNN’s David Gergen found strains of Lincoln in Obama’s…

Is conservatism doomed because it's wedded to white privilege? Can Republicans abandon their racism in order to remain respectable and competitive? Are Reaganomics and slavery morally equivalent? These were among the burning questions to which Kossacks put their minds this past week.  As usual, each headline is preceded by the blogger's name or pseudonym. Daily Kos Week in Review will return…

How I look forward to Rachel Maddow's chummy chats with Bay Area soulmate Nancy Pelosi -- especially when it turns awkward. On her MSNBC show last night, Maddow showed clips of her "exclusive" interview with Pelosi earlier in the day. It was during their discussion of the Petraeus scandal that matters took a turn toward hilarity, an outcome always on the horizon whenever Pelosi is involved…

Exactly two years ago this week, the Obama administration announced it had issued more than 100 waivers en masse to a select group of companies, unions and other health insurance providers seeking relief from the onerous federal health care law. The Obamacare waiver winner's club now totals 2,000. Where are they now? Answer: In the same miserable boat as every other unlucky business…
