Slippery Cenk Suggests Public Employees Need Unions To Negotiate With
James Taranto could be the best columnist around. Every day at his Best of the Web at the Wall Street Journal online, Taranto turns out an original, often unconventional, conservative take on the news, regularly managing to leaven the message with humor.
Rush today rightly extolled Taranto's column of yesterday, in which he made the point that there is a vast, inherent difference between…

Chris Jansing Tries to Link Giffords Shooter With Fringe Right-Wing
MSNBC's Chris Jansing, referencing a report by the liberal Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on "active U.S. hate groups," asked Wednesday if the rise of radical right-wing groups coincided with the motives behind Jared Loughner's assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

Maddow Tells Leno Total Nonsense About Wisconsin, Unions and Tea Party
Last Monday, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman ironically asked his readers why voters are so ill-informed.

Confounded Chris Matthews to Pro-Gun Senator: You're Getting Us Into a
A confounded Chris Matthews, on Tuesday's Hardball, couldn't get his head around the concept of Texas allowing 21-year-olds on college campuses to carry concealed weapons to defend themselves, as he repeatedly threw out scenarios, seemingly from TV, movies and his own imagination, of crazed students with guns.
Fortunately Texas State Senator Jeff Wentworth was on hand to repeatedly and ably…

"Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski and regular guest John Heilemann both pulled the class warfare card and pressured Wisconsin Gov.

Keith Olbermann: Too Far Left for Gore's Current TV
Just how far left is MSNBC? According to the New York Post, Keith Olbermann's new employer, Current TV, suggested he "veer a little to the middle politically."
That's right: MSNBC's former prime time star was too far left for the writers and producers at Al Gore's television network. Says a lot about the true blue cable channel, doesn't it?
Carl Bernstein Rips Gov. Walker for 'Demagogic' Stand Against Collecti
On MSNBC's "Jansing & Co." Tuesday, liberal journalist Carl Bernstein criticized the continued stance of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) against the right of public unions to collectively bargain.

When the governor cut into benefits and pensions of state employees to solve a…
David Brooks: Gov. Walker Excluded Wisconsin Cops and Firefighters for
New York Times columnist David Brooks published a truly must-read piece Tuesday about what's going on in Wisconsin.
Unfortunately, out of some odd desire to appear balanced, Brooks advanced the totally erroneous liberal meme that Governor Walker's budget repair plan exempted cops and firefighters because they typically support Republicans:
Matthews Visibly Angered By Poll Finding Americans Think Reagan Was Gr
UPDATE AT END OF POST: 'Limited Memory' Matthews gets Washington's birthday wrong!
A Gallup poll released Friday found Americans are most likely to say Ronald Reagan was the nation's greatest president.

Lawrence O'Donnell: Walker Becomes Top GOP Presidential Candidate If H
UPDATE AT END OF POST: Ann Coulter agrees!
Lawrence O'Donnell on Monday made a prediction that most who hadn't heard of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker until a week ago might find astonishing.
On MSNBC's "The Last Word," the host told his perilously liberal guest Ezra Klein that if Walker's budget repair plan goes through, "He would instantaneously become the greatest hero in the Republican…
Wisconsin State Senator Smacks Down Chris Matthews: 'You're Completely
MSNBC's Chris Matthews tried Monday to push the liberal media meme that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker exempted police and firefighters from his budget repair plan because their unions endorsed him in last November's election.

Chris Matthews Slobbers Over Bill Clinton While Peddling 'President of
For about seven minutes on Monday's "Morning Joe," Chris Matthews celebrated his President's Day fawning over former President Clinton. Matthews had nothing but praise for the nation's 42nd president in anticipation of the documentary "President of the World" – apparently Clinton's new title – airing at 10 p.m. EST Monday on MSNBC.
"You know, Churchill's huge in this country and he's 70-30…
