The March Of The Palinbots

Limbaugh is thrilled that the coup against even Rove is now complete:

Let's assume that Christine O'Donnell is down in the polls, Democrat polls, by the way, by 25 points. Okay, fine. If she's the best option we have to stop what's going on once she gets to Washington, why not try to make up the 25 points? We got socialism, communism, liberalism on the ropes. It's too risky? Let me tell you something. It's worth the risk. We're talking about saving the goddamn country.

Hiker Released, Ctd

A reader writes:

I am happy for Sarah Shourd and her family, and hope that she is able to get her health issues addressed quickly.  I'm sure this has been a terrible ordeal for all involved, including the families of Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal. However, these three adults showed extremely poor judgment in choosing to hike in Iraq in the first place - during a war no less - and were warned specifically against hiking in the area where they eventually crossed into Iran.  The response of the...

The Unraveling Of Steve Forbes

Not only did he publish that vile piece of neo-fascist propaganda by D'Souza, here he is showing Obama chatting it up with Lenin. Yes, Lenin. The rot is deep.

Remembering Spc Alyssa Peterson

We should not forget those many Americans who did stand up against the torture of the Bush administration, did have consciences, and did resist. For Alyssa Peterson, the moral conflict of being an American torturing prisoners was too much. Seven years ago today, she killed herself. But she never killed her honor. And she and many others helped preserve what remains of the honor of the United States.

The War On The Right - And Obama

My thesis that the core rationale for the Obama presidency was a post-boomer pragmatism has been assailed lately as unrealistic, and responsible for Obama's apparent woes. I can see how Maureen's critique does indeed make some psychological sense, can appreciate Sam Tanenhaus' reminder of the endurance of the cultural war and I under-estimated the sheer cultural panic and pent-up frustration on the right in the wake of the Obama landslide, with all its implications for America's future...

How Ambitious Is Mitt Romney?

We know he will say anything, do anything, take any position to advance his own agenda. He makes plastic look authentic. But it says something surely that he has sided with O'Donnell against Rove in this sudden outbreak of GOP civil war. He wants to win. He knows his only chance is to follow Palin, not challenge her. But she will eat him for breakfast.
