Once Again, MSNBCs Chris Matthews Attacks GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann as a Zombie Video 1/4/11
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is obsessed with calling GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann a “zombie.” Here he is doing it again on his show last night. The clip he shows in no way supports what he calls her. She is anything but a “zombie.” It’s those who have blindly supported Barack Obama - like Matthews - who could rightly be called “zombies.” ...

The Villagers on The Chris Matthews Show Are Giddy Over the Prospect of Obama Preaching Austerity in State of the Union Address
The panelists on The Chris Matthews Show were all in agreement this week. President Obama needs to throw Congressional Democrats Under the Bus, punch down the hippies in his base a few times, preach some Austerity during his State of the Union address and work with those nice reasonable Republicans. If he does that, all will be well with his chances for re-election. MATTHEWS: John I guess that's the question. What's his biggest challenge though? Holding the center as he began to do at the end of...

Print view: Why don't American kids lead the world? Chris Matthews should ponder the past
WASHINGTON POST EDITORIAL (continuing directly): Education Secretary Arne Duncan is devoting an unprecedented $3.5 billion to a campaign to fix the country's lowest-performing schools. The department is encouraged by reports showing a willingness to make hard decisions. The Post's Nick Anderson, for example, recently reported on 150 schools where principals and at least half of the staff were replaced. Equally encouraging is that some of these efforts were undertaken without opposition from the ...

DA pushes parole change
Middlesex top prosecutor Gerard Leone — who was never notified by the Parole Board before it sprang a triple-lifer who allegedly went on to kill a Woburn cop — is urging state officials to reconsider their policy of allowing panelists to vote anonymously before unleashing violent thugs. “I’m a proponent of transparency in government, especially when decisions are made that Compromise the public’s safety,” Leone told the Herald yesterday. “You can’...

Print view: Why do our 'Catholic' schools do so well, a prize minion clownishly asked
In Gov. Haley Barbour’s hazy, dream-coated South, the civil-rights era was an easy transition for his Mississippi hometown of Yazoo City. As he told the Weekly Standard recently, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an unmemorable speaker, and notorious White Citizens Councils protected the world from violent Racists. At some point, we liberals really have to decide: How much Pure Stupid do we permit? To what extent are we willing to be spoken down to this way? A Weekly Standard profile ...

They Still Hate Me for Hating the Palins
Seems there are a few non-Kahaniacs out there on our side who haven’t gotten the memo. A few responses to my piece today, from the mailroom here at Kahane National Headquarters in the basement of the Greenbrier Hotel: you are is an idiot…… stop talking about the Palins if they bother you so much….. but you can’t because you really like them.

Chrissy Matthewss Big Thrill Love Actually?
Chris Matthews originally billed himself as the blue collar Philadelphia Irish-Catholic guy made good, with Republican brothers and an understanding of how real men think—and how liberals should relate to ‘dose guys. Just before Christmas, Chris Matthews chucked any pretense that his man card was not a forgery with this weird aside: MATTHEWS: And that reminded me of this scene from the movie “Love Actually,” which I‘ve seen about a million times… Yep, Chrissy, you̵

Print view: Matthews knew he must ignore Bill Turque's front-page report
But let’s admit it. Nothing would have gotten done if Obama hadn’t swallowed that loathsome Compromise on Tax Cuts for the wealthy. If he’d taken the high road, Congress would be in a holiday war. The long-term unemployed would be staggering into the new year without benefits. The rest of the world would look upon the United States as a country so dysfunctional that it can’t even ratify a treaty to help keep Nuclear Weapons out of the hands of Terrorists. The people who worke...

“‘Powerful conservative media’ colluding with GOP to attack Obama in event of Terrorist Attack warn Matthews, Alter,” Jeff Poor writes at the Daily Caller: There’s an opportunistic “conservative media” ready to pounce on President Barack Obama.

No Kidding: Media Matters Says I Owe It $1,400 in Gold
A couple of days ago, MSNBC media star Keith Olbermann appeared to suffer a Tourettes-like attack, cursing Fox News repeatedly on Twitter. In a nutshell, he stated repeatedly that the Fox News Channel is "100% bulls***". Knowing that FNC kicks the crap out of every other cable news outlet, which means Americans find it the most trustworthy source of information, I launched my 1 Krugerrand Fox News challenge. The first person to document one lie repeated by Fox News Channel reporters can win a 1-...
