The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart’s terribly biting populist confrontation with Jim Cramer last night: Part one. Part two. Part three (where it really gets going). Tucker Carlson got off easy.

In a time of national crisis, when the nation’s attention turns to the White House and the national media faces far greater responsibilities despite shrinking resources, one political reporter has risen above the pack with an uncanny ability to capture the zeitgeist without sacrificing his personal integrity or the needs of his audience. That reporter [...]

There was much tut-tutting over Judicial Watch’s allegation earlier this week that Nancy Pelosi “treats the Air Force like her personal airline.” But over at ABC, Jonathan Karl and Luis Martinez actually read this “trove” of documents on what Michelle Malkin calls “Queen Nancy’s military air travel.” And what did they find? In fact, it [...]

Newly crowned Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is the gift that just keeps on giving. In this GQ interview Steele calls abortion an “individual choice,” being gay not a choice and the Rat Pack the Pack Rats. He does know he’s the head of the RNC, right?

Are you sitting down? Because I have some shocking news. I know this comes out of the blue, so steel yourself:  Bristol and Levi are not getting married. I know! I was sure those two crazy kids were going to beat the odds and make it work. But alas, Levi Johnston tells the Associated Press [...]

His case was probably not helped much by the omnibus which most moderates hated though were coerced into voting for it – to the point that Claire McCaskill took Chuck Schumer to the carpet outside of last [...]

This is the new Senate Republican talking point: If you take the cost of the stimulus bill and add in the cost of the Fiscal Year 2009 omnibus bill, and then divide that number by the number of hours in the first 50 days of the Obama presidency, the result is $1 billion-per-hour of spending [...]

Allegations that Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha is corrupt are no shock to anyone. One of the most prodigious and proud porkers in Congress, Murtha, whom Nancy Pelosi supported for Majority Leader upon winning the Speaker’s gavel (thankfully the caucus overruled her and picked Steny Hoyer), has long been under the shadow of corruption. Last November, [...]
