CNN's Jeffrey Toobin: Ted Cruz’s Goal Is a Right-Wing ‘Purificatio
Last fall, not long after the federal government’s partial shutdown ended, The New Yorker’s David Denby alleged that shutdown point man Ted Cruz seemed to be pursuing the presidency “by sowing as much confusion and disorder as possible—playing the joker in a seemingly nihilistic charade whose actual intent is a rational grab for power.”
There’s nothing as pointed or nasty as that in “The…
Nets Cover Unanimous SCOTUS Ruling, Only CBS Notes Obama Admin Defende

Michael Eric Dyson: Ted Cruz, Right Wing 'Spawned...Extremists' Like t
The right wing relies on extremist murderers like Las Vegas shooters Jerad and Amanda Miller! At least, that’s what Michael Eric Dyson told his audience when he filled in for Ed Schultz on Tuesday evening’s The Ed Show.

Grammy Award-winning songwriter Diane Warren, best known for penning schlocky pop hits like “How Do I Live” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”, savagely attacked conservative Republican Senator Ted Cruz for smiling over a tiger-skin rug he purchased for his office.

Salon: In the Tea Party 'Dunce-off,' Rand Paul Attracts Bigots, While
Digby is far from the biggest name in the left-wing blogosphere, but she's one of its most influential figures. Lefty bloggers often introduce links to posts on her site, Hullabaloo, with the phrase "what Digby said" (it's sort of their equivalent of "megadittoes").
On Monday morning, Digby published a piece in a higher-profile outlet, the liberal online magazine Salon, in which she…

Daily Beast Reporter Slams Family Research Council for Using Term 'Nat
One of the big steps in winning a social or political battle these days is defining the terms to be used in the debate. Remember how an “unborn child” became an antiseptic “fetus” during the start of the abortion debate? And how left-wingers now call themselves “progressives” since George H. W. Bush turned “liberal” into a slur during his 1988 presidential campaign?
According to a Thursday…
