By having his agencies screw up the terrorist watch list: A new Justice Department audit shows that for nearly three years the FBI gave outdated, incomplete and error-riddled data about terror suspects to be added to the government’s watchlist. Overall, the audit by the department’s inspector general gives the FBI a mixed review for its […]
The collapse got a temporary reprieve: Bear Stearns Cos., teetering on the brink of collapse from a lack of cash, got emergency funding from the Federal Reserve and JPMorgan Chase & Co. in the largest government bailout of a U.S. securities firm. After denying earlier this week that access to capital was at risk, Bear […]
Last night on Real Time, Terry McAuliffe refused to answer Bill’s question of Bill Clinton’s foreign policy experience when he took office. Instead he resorted to a right wing talking point; “it’s a changed world since 9/11”. The real interesting part is at the end when Bill made a joke about Bill Clinton. Suddenly Terry’s […]
Yesterday the wingnuts were quick to pin the blame of the Times Square bombing on the “anti-war left”. Now news comes out that the “anti-war” letters received by members of Congress yesterday was not connected to the bombing: There’s apparently no link between the bombing of an military recruiting station in New York’s Times Square […]

During Friday night’s Real Time, Republican Congressman Jack Kingston took to the airwaves to echo the right wing talking points of Obama being “not patriotic enough”. One of the memes that Kingston brought up was about Obama not wearing his lapel pin. Let’s take a look at people not wearing their lapel pin: (click for […]
A right wing blog finally makes a little mention of Renzi. It was Instapundit and nothing more than a blurb. Heads in the sand boys (and girls)!
It has been almost two hours since news broke that Republican Congressman and McCain’s Arizona campaign co-chair, Rick Renzi, was indicted. In that time there has not been a peep out of the right wing blogs. Not even a thing on Drudge. Hot Air also seems to be ignoring this rather big story. Hey guys […]
The right wing blogs have been in going on about the ten year anniversary of the Monica Lewinsky ordeal. As with any anniversary, it is time to reflect. In particular I would like to reflect on some very obvious hypocrisy’s this is pointing out. They dwell in the past – Isn’t this something the wingnuts […]
