I haven’t posted yet on the decision by ABC News to use Andrew Breitbart as some sort of analysis for their election night coverage. I didn’t think I really need to say how bad of a decision I thought this was, but now it’s getting beyond what I thought it would. When ABC decided to […]

CBS News hired an outside expert group to estimate the size of the crowd at yesterday’s ‘Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear’. Using aerial photos, the company has estimated the crowd at around 215,000. CBS also used the same company to estimate the size of Beck’s rally in August. Using the same techniques, the company […]

In individual campaign donations, $1,900 is a big number. Will Rand Paul return the money? Nah – they look to chummy for Paul to return the money. I also have to caption this photo appropriately – “paling around with terrorists”.

And the wingnuts all get it wrong. It wasn’t some “leftist plot” or outsiders involved: A volunteer with Rand Paul’s Senate campaign has admitted to placing his shoe firmly on the face of a MoveOn.org volunteer outside a Senate debate on Monday night, but insisted that the camera angle of the footage that captured the […]
