Perhaps previewing the winking and nodding that will follow in the general election campaign, ABC's John Berman on Monday uncritically parroted the White House line on gay marriage: "What the President seems to want is space." The Good Morning America correspondent added that the President is looking for "space to say that perhaps in a second term he might change the policy. But for it not…

It has now been a year since Osama bin Laden became a ghost courtesy of the United States SEALs. I had long since come to the conclusion that Osama became crˆpes suzettes for the worms back in Tora Bora in December 2001, and I was somewhat stubborn in my belief.

The Daily Telegraph in London reported that in France on Friday night, the camp of Nicholas Sarkozy attacked "biased" media for an "alliance" with Socialist candidate Francois Hollande. An ally said it was "a veritable denial of democracy." There's not just a socialist media bias problem in America, obviously.  There was even violence reported. Two star "presenters" of France's most-watched…

Monday's "Reliable Source" gossip column in The Washington Post reports under the headline "Surreal Estate" that New York Times columnist (and official PBS and NPR "conservative" pundit) David Brooks is rolling in dough. He's bought a home in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington for $3.95 million. "The New York Times op-ed columnist and wife Sarah are trading up — from their longtime…

David Corn, the perilously liberal Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones, got a much-needed civics lesson from the Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan on CBS's Face the Nation Sunday.

In 1998, first lady Hillary Clinton famously claimed there was a vast right-wing conspiracy against her husband.
