When a black Maryland politician pleaded with the Baltimore Ravens to silence their player Brendan Ayanbadejo from advocating gay marriage, Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe wrote a profane, nasty open letter, including the sentence “They won't magically turn you into a lustful cockmonster.” Then later, he posted an slightly less nasty, non-profane version on his blog at the St. Paul Pioneer…

Radio host Bill Press is determined to win the title of most useful idiot to the jihad. With his most recent lunacy this past Friday, Press is well on his way. (Audio clip after page break)

Bloggers at the Daily Kos are  having fun slamming the Values Voter Summit as a communist plot . We're told that VVS "in Russian, that would be BBC, which stands for  Военно-воздушные силы or VVS -- Voenno-Vozdushnye Sily in the Latin alphabet.  And that means in English ... SOVIET AIR FORCE!" Another felt a pamphlet from a group called "Modesty Matters" was insulting in how it blamed women for…

“Listen for it,” CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley urged viewers Friday night in trumpeting what he hailed as “a remarkable moment of candor” from President Barack Obama “when he told us the sacrifices he makes being President wouldn’t be worth it except for one thing.” Viewers soon heard from Obama how all the sacrifice he must suffer through as President, such as “the inability to just…

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer issued some advice Friday for how Mayor Rahm Emanuel can end the Chicago teachers' strike. Appearing on PBS's Inside Washington, Krauthammer said, "I hope he clinches the deal by sending the head of the teachers union - as he once did in the past to someone else - a dead fish. That often works in these kinds of negotiations."

It's fun to joke that the Obama-worshippers in the liberal press are frustrated daily that Mitt Romney has so far failed to concede the general election and get out. Then you watch Chris Matthews. On Friday, he marched on to the set at MSNBC and ranted that it was "arrogant" for Romney to run against Obama like he thought he was a "first-rate politician" like MSNBC's conquering hero. He was…

You know the drill - so drill, baby, drill!

Bill Maher not surprisingly spent most of his HBO show Friday trashing Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. During his final New Rule, the Real Time host said, "In many ways we're all a bit Mitt Romney - and I don't just mean dorks in mom jeans who are afraid of black people" (video follows with transcript and commentary, serious vulgarity warning, file photo):

Establishment media bloggers are still dismissing the idea that the "let's all force Romney to express regret" talk before his press conference was unprofessional or displayed anti-Romney bias. Erik Wemple at The Washington Post agreed with our take: "Whispering among reporters before sessions would be a problem if it applied only to politicians of one party, but not to the other."  But when…

Criticism for the Obama administration came from a very unlikely source Friday. Valerie Plame, the Bush-bashing ex-CIA operative at the heart of the Scooter Libby controversy, published a Huffington Post piece titled "Why Is the U.S. Government Bullying an American Hero?" in which she absolutely excoriated the White House for its treatment of the Osama bin Laden raid autobiographer.

HBO's Bill Maher on Friday made an anti-Semitic joke about the producers of the anti-Muslim film some are claiming is responsible for anti-American uprisings around the world. This hysterically came moments after the Real Time host criticized Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for politicizing the violence (video follows with transcript and commentary, vulgarity warning):

Abby Goodnough of The New York Times is reporting as the California state government is setting up its ObamaCare exchange, the exchange has hired a PR firm (with federal government money). "Realizing that much of the battle will be in the public relations realm, the exchange has poured significant resources into a detailed marketing plan — developed not by state health bureaucrats but by the…

On Thursday’s All Things Considered, NPR anchor Melissa Block announced it was time to mark the anniversary of Occupy Wall Street protests. “One year later, the tent camps are gone. So what's happened to the movement and the people who joined it?” Question: If it failed utterly, why celebrate the anniversary? For "reflections" on the state of this amorphous radical movement, Block…

Reuters has noted the one year anniversary coming this Monday of the Coffee Party, oops, I mean Occupy Wall Street. I can be forgiven for the error since both proved to be as big a flop as Joe Scarborough's No Labels. All of these failed movements had one other thing in common: they were given a boost at birth with extreme media hype. However, first the anniversary/obituary from Reuters: (…
