Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is one of the most
polarizing Senators. His favorite form of argument is reduced to
the following:
“You are bad, we are good.”
If you were from Rhode Island, as I am, you would understand that this has been Whitehouse’s political character long before he became a Senator. He is...

The narcissistic mainstream media and its supporters in the left-wing blogosphere have been toeing the Harry Reid campaign line that Sharron Angle has been “hiding” from the press.
What they really meant was that Sharron Angle didn’t grant them an interview. She appeared on plenty of talk shows, but none the mainstream...
There is a question no one has asked so far. What did Elena
Kagan mean when she
wrote, in a prior confirmation hearing when she was nominated
for Solicitor General:
“There is no federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage.”
This statement, which seems pretty clear to me on its face, kicked...
Markos Moulitsas, the founder of Daily Kos, has accused Research 2000 of defrauding Daily Kos in conducting research polling.
The accusation is about as inflammatory as one can get. For professional pollsters, a reputation for fairness and accuracy is everything.
The damage to Research 2000 will be substantial, if not deadly.
Moulitsas could have...
… is Andrew Sullivan’s derisive explanation for the success of female Republican candidates, like Sarah Palin and “clone” Pamela Gorman.
Anywhere else that would be called sexist (and also a feature, not a bug).
A class action lawsuit has been filed in Florida against Charlie Crist and the Crist campaign seeking the return of donations made to Crist while he was running as a Republican. The attorney in the lawsuit, Thomas Grady, was a former regional chair for the Crist campaign, and is a...
(Please try not to fall asleep while reading this post.)
There is something profoundly depressing about the nomination of Elena Kagan.
Kagan has an impressive resume. But …
Has there ever been a more intellectually bland nominee? Probably, but not in decades. Bland is the new intellectual powerhouse.
No judicial...
We all know how carefully the Obama administration touts the mythical “jobs created or saved” (or is it “saved or created”?).
We also know how many jobs have been lost since the Stimulus Plan passed (well over 2 million, even including expansion of government jobs).
But,
is anyone documenting how many jobs have been...
As I posted before, Harry Reid’s campaign is attempting to create the appearance of a groundswell of opposition to Sharron Angle by staging purportedly independent protests against Angle’s alleged plan to eliminate social security (Angle’s actual position is here).
The protests are organized by the Nevada branch of the Alliance for Retired...

While Biden’s remark demonstrates the hubris of the Governing Class, Obama’s Ex-Im Bank Board takes the food off their tables.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal was relieved of command in Afghanistan after an article in Rolling Stone magazine.
The article widely was described as evidencing McChrystal’s insubordination by criticizing the political leadership, but as I demonstrated, such explanation did not make a lot of sense. There were almost no comments attributed directly to McChrystal,...
Last week I posted about the Bumper Sticker of Change, which I saw while walking in Rhode Island.

Kelly Steele is Harry Reid’s campaign spokesman and one of the chief strategists.
According to reports, Steele is
credited with taking down Sue Lowden, and is in charge of the
early efforts to paint Sharron Angle as an extremist and
crazy:
And that’s where Steele factors in–to help Reid, as his team puts...
This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain:
Last week I featured a “Breaking News” video of NY Freedom Party leader Charles Barron, a New York City councilman, insisting that attempts to ban...
