No, but that’s about the same factual basis Politico stands on in trying to link the Polanski story to President Obama.

No Donna Edwards, I Don’t Care

Donna Edwards, who happens to be my member of congress here in Maryland, just sent out the following to her email list.
Yay, Politico named you to a perfectly arbitrary list! Look, I don’t have any serious problems with Rep. Edwards and she has so far demonstrated the kind of values I want to see in [...]

The President’s budget passed the House 233-196 and 55-43 in the Senate. According to Politico, this means it “fell short”. And this is why modern journalism has screwed itself without any help from we readers.
Nia-Malika Henderson, Please STFU

Nia-Malika Henderson of the Politico has written… well, not really a story so much as a bit of Drudgeish linkbait discussing whether First Lady Michelle Obama is doing too much.
Now, of course, Mrs. Obama is doing the thing First Ladies have done from time immemorial, drawing vital media and public attention to issues they think [...]
Politico Jumps To ABC’s Defense
April 18th, 2008

Let’s just say it doesn’t exactly make a great case for ABC, when the longest winded defense of your horrific debate tactics comes from The Politico – a “news” organization that has its entire business model based on the freak show of distraction rather than the substance of policy.
It’s like George W. Bush giving a [...]

The headline: Taxpayers fund Bill Clinton spending
The reality: Oh, Bill Clinton is the first person to become an ex-president in the 21st century, you say? The funds being used are federally marked out so ex-presidents aren’t pushed to become Viagra pitchmen? The main complainer about this is a right-wing pressure group (the “National Taxpayers Union”)?

Karl Rove Is An Idiot, Mike Allen Is Worse

Karl Rove, with lapdog Mike Allen in the pro-GOP Politico, 8/14/07:
When asked about the House Democratic leadership, Rove said: “This last election was a very close election, and I think they misread the results. They think they’ve got some mandate to raise taxes and blow up the budget. It’s just unbelievably out of touch with [...]
Dems Not Allowed To Be Political, Says Politico
June 25th, 2007

You may remember Mike Allen as the Politico writer who gushed over Matt Drudge and slagged the Democratic party as “dogs” while ridiculing former vice president Al Gore. Today he’s written a story where he’s all upset that the Democratic party would do opposition research on Fred Thompson.
Well I Do Declare!
Regardless of what you think [...]

The Politico’s chief political correspondent, Mike Allen, has a problem. He loves conservatives. Conservative bloggers, conservative talk show hosts. He acts like a lovelorn puppy dog when he’s around them. A few weeks ago Allen couldn’t stop humping Matt Drudge’s leg, now he moves on to Hugh Hewitt.
Imagine if a supposedly neutral news reporter said [...]
Mike Allen & The Politico Pen Another Hit Job On Obama

When last we heard from Politico chief correspondent Mike Allen, he was kissing up like a whorish schoolgirl to conservative gossip Matt Drudge. Apparently knowing just how Daddy Drudge likes it, Mike Allen wrote up a piece of work and it got passed on for Drudge to pimp. The piece is supposedly about “rookie mistakes” [...]

The Politico, the hot new DC insider publication, hypes itself like this: “journalism that insists on the primacy of facts over ideology”.
So Mike Allen (e-mail here), the publication’s “chief political correspondent” and a certified member of the beltway cocktail club set, appears on Matt Drudge’s syndicated radio program. Ok, fine. Drudge reaches an audience and [...]
