I didn't see this in the Time Person of the Year story, but then again, I didn't read it. From John Hawkins: ...
As I pointed out the other day, National Review demeaned itself and its many talented writers by going overboard in its attempt to demonize Newt Gingrich, including a cover which should live in conservative infamy. Newt as crazy outer-space martian is what passes for analysis at...
The first snowfall in Ithaca so far this year. Gingrich poses an asymmetrical threat to Obama. Isn't that how you fight an opponent which is better funded and better organized? All those commentators at The Washington Examiner who hate Newt because he was a "lobbyist" in reality if...
I'm just getting this feeling: A life of perpetual opposition....
I'm not going to argue with the owner of this car. But I think the quote is: "I have a right to nothing which another has a right to take away." -- Thomas Jefferson to Uriah Forrest, 1787. Papers, 12:477. I could be wrong. Did Jefferson use...
You know I have a big problem with Michele Bachmann making statements which are not supported by facts and then repeating them endlessly. Her campaign is up to much worse in South Carolina, where her local campaign manager has suggested that the Gingrich campaign has paid...
The government is not shutting down at midnight. So here's some more stuff: Incandescent light bulb ban not banned, but not really going into effect. Rich Lowry, Applying while Asian. Commenter LukeHandCool made a similar point on the Tip Line earlier this month. Newt has hired one of...
Time Magazine named "The Protester" as Person of the Year, which in the United States was represented by the Occupy Wall Street movement. Which generated this Tweet of the Day: ...
Michele Bachmann pretty much ended Tim Pawlenty's campaign. Bachman attacked Pawlenty relentlessly and took the Iowa straw poll, causing Pawlenty (foolishly, in hindsight) to withdraw. In so doing, Bachmann eliminated the person who was the most viable not-Romney establishment candidate, a former Governor with a good, conservative record...
How disgusting and politically corrupt is the Washington Post? This disgusting and politically corrupt (h/t Ed Morrissey). WaPo runs this headline, FBI considered a sting aimed at Newt Gingrich in 1997, accompanied by an ominous super-close up of Gingrich: Sounds pretty bad. Even if not charged, Newt must...
You will like this. Netanyahu to ‘New York Times’: Take a hike (h/t @allahpundit): Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is refusing to pen an op-ed piece for The New York Times, signaling the degree to which he is fed up with the influential newspaper’s editorial policy on Israel. In a...
In case you missed it last night, the full video is available at Sheya. Tweets of the Night are here, and my quick post-game analysis here. Here are some highlights: Newt on Pipeline and "Zany" Michelle Bachmann v. Ron Paul on Iran Newt on Courts More to follow [note -...
Governor Scott Walker is facing a massive recall effort mounted by national unions and Democrats looking to take out a leading Republican. It appears that enough signatures have been gathered to force a recall election in the spring. Walker will win if Wisconsin voters have a...
Here is my selection of the Tweets of the Night: ...
End game analysis: Hard to assess. Both Newt and Romney had tough segments, Newt's earlier in the night, Romney towards end. Newt had most highlight moments. Perry fine, but not a real presence, not asked many questions. Santorum very good. Bachmann tough, but she doesn't...
I'll be covering the debate tonight starting at 9 p.m. Eastern. It will not be a "Live Event" but rather, me giving commentary as it goes, probably at the breaks as I have done for several other debates. In the meantime: Newt is sliding in the polls,...
Note: This is the first Guest Post by Bryan Jacoutot, a law student at John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, GA.: Although the November 9th Republican Presidential Debate in Michigan is now over a month passed, one critical line said by Newt Gingrich is still at the...
