Hey, MSM, if you’re going to try and swing this race for John McCain, try not to be so blatant with it.

Media For McCain: The Washington Post Makes A Federal Case Over A Mortgage

4:52 am EST July 2nd, 2008 | Media | 111 Comments

The Washington Post ignores so much about John McCain (the Post, for instance, has been silent on the McCains evading taxes on their condo) but they rush a big nothing story about Sen. Obama’s mortgage on to page one. The “liberal media strikes” again! I worked at a mortgage company for a little while, and the idea that the lender gives a few fractions of a percent to a borrower of a jumbo loan is about as common as breathing air. That’s kind of how they do business, especially in 2005 when the mortgage business was locking loans at such a good clip.

I know the mainstream media desperately wants John McCain to win so they can get some more of his sweet barbecue, but this is pretty ridiculous – even for them.

Secret Democrat Scott McClellan

1:36 am EST June 2nd, 2008 | News | 11 Comments

Trent Duffy, former Deputy Press Secretary pitches a hissy fit about Scott McClellan in the Post:

All that aside, the revelations that you are “intrigued by Senator Obama’s message” and that you don’t know if you are a Republican anymore make me wonder if you ever had any convictions. If you were just drinking the Kool-Aid at the White House, have you now switched flavors with your newfound friends?

Now of course, I think the whole gang of them are liars. They’re a bunch of snake oil salesmen with blood on their hands. I have zero sympathy for McClellan. But I think it’s so funny now that Duffy wants to make McClellan – who was quite literally the face of the Bush administration – as now a Democrat.

Also, like the stupid Carville-Richardson cat fight from a few months ago, why does the Washington Post make itself the bathroom stall wall for the political set?

Justice Clinton? No.

2:13 am EST May 22nd, 2008 | Media | 29 Comments

It is a clear sign that primary season has gone on too long when you read articles like this speculating – and thats what it is, speculation – that Obama would offer Sen. Clinton a Supreme Court nomination.

That isn’t going to happen. While I think that on balance she would probably make a good justice, there is no way she would be confirmed. It would make the Bork and Thomas hearings seem like child’s play. The author of the piece is in certifiable la-la land saying that because she is a senator, Clinton would have easy confirmation. The religious far right would suicide bomb the Senate before they would see Sen. Clinton on the Supreme Court. Obama could win the general election with 70% of the vote and it wouldn’t happen.

The chances of Sen Clinton being on the Supreme Court are exactly the same as Jessica Alba changing her mind, divorcing, and showing up at my front door Thursday night.

I’ll let Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber take it from here:

Jesus, Enough With The Carville-Richardson DRAMA

10:02 pm EST April 1st, 2008 | Media, Politics | 1 Comment

The Washington Post is turning its editorial pages into the Jerry Springer show. Just days ago column inches were given to James Carville in order for him to defend his attack calling Bill Richardson a “Judas”. Now, the Post gave room for a rebuttal to Gov. Richardson.

Who f****** cares?

The spat between Carville and Richardson won’t stop soldiers for being killed for a lie, end global warming, ease poverty or rebuild our economy. We are all dumber for the press to keep fueling the “feud”. Personally I’m on the edge of political burnout here and its because of stupid crap like this.

Jo Dee Messina says it all: My give a damn, is in fact, busted.

Dear James Carville: Save The Drama For Your Mama

8:33 pm EST March 29th, 2008 | Media, Politics | 5 Comments

I see no need for catfighting of the sort embraced by James Carville to be published in the “A” section of one the country’s top 5 newspapers. We have a war on, a fiscal crisis, global hunger, disease and murder, and that merits James Carville writing what amounts to a personal phone call or an e-mail in the news section of the paper.

Cajun, please.

Howard Kurtz Slurps A Conservative Again

1:07 am EST March 17th, 2008 | Media | 6 Comments

howard kurtz: i are serious journalist

As you may know, the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz makes it a point of his high profile column to write loving profiles of conservatives in the media. As previously noted, the reach-around now forever known as “The Kurtz” has been given to such journalistic luminaries as Fox News’ Brit Hume (who once claimed Democrats are “rooting” for a loss in Iraq) and Michelle Malkin (who accused John Kerry of self-inflicting a wound to get a purple heart). Today’s conservative serviced with a Kurtz is Fox News’ Karl Rove, former White House political thug and the architect of the Republican loss of the House and Senate. In Kurtz’s hard hitting profile he says:

No one would accuse the newly minted pundit of being balanced, but to the surprise of some critics, he has been generally fair-minded in his commentary. The man long derided by the left as “Bush’s brain” is trying to move beyond his attack-dog reputation.

In this case “fair-minded” can be translated as making stuff up about Barack Obama, while also doing favors for the McCain campaign without noting his affiliation on-air.

Or, as Howard Kurtz would put it: slurp, slurp.
