Andrew Sullivan, who once wrote the essential politically incorrect essay, “What’s so bad about hate?” to refute the idea of codifying “hate crimes,” is ironically now the poster child for what can be so bad about love—blind love, that is.
The press honeymoon is getting a little sour; and “conservatives” who endorsed Obama like Christopher Buckley [...]

“My God, He’s Still Talking!” Redux: Meltdown with Keith Olbermann, Part 30
January 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Last week, Keith Olbermann infamously broke into MSNBC’s coverage of Scott Brown’s acceptance speech with the exclamation “My God, he’s still talking!”
Brown dared to talk for about 20 minutes to gathered supporters who had helped him pull off a historic victory, which changed the landscape of the nation politically. To a large extent, we can [...]

Mea Culpa Maybe: Meltdown with Keith Olbermann Part 29
January 25, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Last week, we covered Keith Olbermann’s perhaps ultimate meltdown over first the possibility, then the actual election of Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.
To summarize, Keith began with this little gem on election eve:
OLBERMANN: In Scott Brown, we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against women [...]

The Day Obamcare Died– Sung by Barack Don MacLean Obama
January 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I will never forget the first day I tuned into the “new” Rush Limbaugh show, which had recently begun broadcasting on 1270AM in Detroit in the late 80s.
I enjoyed the lively commentary, but then in a dead-on parody of Ted Kennedy, “The Philanderer,” a take off on Dion’s “The Wanderer” came on.
That began a two [...]

A Bridge Too Far? Meltdown with Keith Olbermann Part 28
January 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In his hysteria over the Democrats losing “the Kennedy Seat” on Tuesday, Keith Olbermann, like Mary Jo Kopechne’s chauffeur, may have gone a bridge too far.
While there is no doubt that NBC (over) pays Olbermann to be provocative and to be outrageously leftwing to fill a (shrinking) market niche; it will be interesting to see [...]

Click here for David Forsmark’s previous commentary on Keith Olbermann’s ludicrous slanders of Senator-elect Scott Brown.
Watching MSNBC last night was a good deal of fun. Rachel Maddow lost her smirk and went glum all night, Chris Matthews babbled incoherently and engaged with some Democrat activist woman at the bar he broadcast from all night—and Keith [...]

Losing it Over Massachusetts : Meltdown with Keith Olbermann Part 26

OLBERMANN: The coarseness of her opponent, Mr. Brown, and the coarseness of the race that he has run—has that just not been sufficiently covered by the media locally or nationally, or has it not been exploited by the Democrats? How did that part of this equation get lost?
Being lectured to by Keith Olbermann about good [...]

In the wake of the Ft. Hood shootings, Army Chief of Staff General George Casey took justified heat from commentators like David Horowitz and Ralph Peters (and yours truly) for his mind-boggling statement:
CASEY: As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.
Now, as Special Report’s Bret Baier pointed [...]

Steele Trap: Chairman Hijacks GOP for Ego Trip

A national party Chair is supposed to be the ultimate insider. The chief fundraiser, the organization builder– the one who builds the foundation so that others—mainly candidates– can concentrate on the visible things that attract voters. Any political party where candidates are not the main focus, will stay in the basement.
The Republican National Chairman, Michael [...]

The Final Countdown? Meltdown with Keith Olbermann Part 31
Remembering this self-deluding rant last year when Bill O’Reilly dared to mock Keith Olbermann’s ratings?
OLBERMANN: I hate to intrude with the facts, but ours is the highest rated cable news program [among] viewers 35 and younger, and the highest rated cable news program for all viewers not on Fixed [i.e., Fox] News. And since [...]
