“Eight-Gate” and Political Profiling (Updated)
  • Update: NewsBusters has a helpful media analysis of Eight-gate, which notes: Attorney General Janet Reno fired all 93 U.S. attorneys, a very unusual practice. Republicans charged the Clintonites made the move to take U.S. Attorney Jay Stephens off the House Post Office investigation of Ways and Means Chairman Dan Rostenkowski. The network response: ABC and CBS never mentioned it. CNN’s World News and NBC Nightly News provided brief mentions, with [...]
    • Top Ten Booty-Gate Facts
  • Not familiar with booty-gate? Let’s go to the tape: Did he ogle? I’m going to go with yes though with a lot more class than Sarkozy who is gawking at her like aqualung. I’ve compiled a list of the ten little known insta-facts about this incident: 10) Obama gave the young lady an ipod with a collection of his speeches plus Rio by Duran Duran and Baby Got Back by [...]
    • Ted Haggard: Nailed to the Gate
  • I usually don’t write about stories that have been headlined on Drudge for a week because, really, what’s the point? The facts of the story are out. Ted Haggard, a pastor I’d honestly never heard of before last week, was carrying on with a gay prostitute and had a drug problem. He has been removed from leadership, has confessed his problems to his church and is trying to put his [...]
    • In the NY Times Sidebar
  • ny-times-obama-adGotta love the NY Times. I found this in their sidebar this morning: Do you think they ever offered a coffee table book about Bush to new subscribers?
    • A Brief Summary of Climate-Gate
  • I’m stealing this from the always excellent Doug Ross. Someone has put up an executive summary of Climate-Gate which really gives a sense of the scope of malfeasance involved. A sample: Michael Mann discusses how to destroy a journal that has published sceptic papers.(1047388489) Tim Osborn discusses how data are truncated to stop an apparent cooling trend showing up in the results (0939154709). Phil Jones describes the death of sceptic, [...]
    • NY Times on Obama’s Foreign Policy Blunders
  • I missed this Friday, but JustOneMinute did not: Mr. Obama’s own credibility is so diminished (his approval rating in Israel is 4 percent) that serious negotiations may be farther off than ever. Peacemaking takes strategic skill. But we see no sign that President Obama and Mr. Mitchell were thinking more than one move down the board. The president went public with his demand for a full freeze on settlements before [...]
    • Senator Kyl Emphatically Rejects Obama’s “Empathy” Standard
  • Judge Sotomayor was back on the Hill yesterday for another day of introductory meetings with Senators on the Judiciary Committee. Senate Republicans seem to be mostly unified behind a strategy of keeping their powder dry on the “wise Latina” controversy, while emphasizing the importance of taking a deliberative approach in reviewing Judge Sotomayor’s long case record. As I’ve indicated before, I think this is the right approach on the part [...]
    • The Last Time a Candidate Was Accused of Interferring in Foreign Affairs… (Update: SOFA-Gate)
  • I was surprised yesterday when an AFP story in the Herald Sun appeared to confirm the allegations made by Amir Taheri, i.e. that during his Summer trip to Iraq Barack Obama had asked Iraqi officials not to negotiate with Bush. Why would team Obama just admit something so damning? It didn’t make sense. Today, the American Spectator adds some behind the scenes detail to the story. What does it reveal? [...]
    • LA Times Year in Review
  • Patterico has his 5th annual review of the incopetence and liberal malfeasance at the LA Times. It’s quite a long post of course, but well worth reading. For those who don’t know who Patterico is, I’ll make it simple. He’s the Times worst nightmare. He has them issuing corrections on an almost monthly basis. Everyone makes mistakes in their writing of course (I sure do), but as Patterico notes in [...]
