The Washington Times has this “end of transparency” headline up right now: White House to cut access to half of federal websites Which starts with: As part of the Obama administration’s campaign to promote transparency, the White House announced today it intends to eliminate the public’s access to half of the federal government’s websites within […]
Remember last month how the GOP constantly said cameras should be rolling during health care negotiations? Now that there’s a chance for that, well look at what’s happening: Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) today echoed Rep. John Boehner’s (R-OH) supposed concern that televising President Obama’s bipartisan health care reform summit would turn it into a “media […]
Leave it to Limbaugh to muster up the kind of inner hatred that would scare the living crap out of any normal human. Today he managed to do just that by comparing Haiti relief to death panels: Will someone ask Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who is Rahm’s brother and one of the lead White House people […]

Since the report showed no improper contact, the idiots on the right have to make up some new scandal. Perhaps Hugh Hewitt can be charged with this crusade: […]
And to think that everyone was bitching about the $700 billion bailout: The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said in September […]
Officials are looking at keeping the next Iraq assessment a “secret”: A new National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq is scheduled to be completed this month, according to U.S. intelligence officials. But leaders of the intelligence community have not decided whether to make its key judgments public, a step that caused an uproar when key judgments […]
Of course they do, but you wouldn’t guess it listening to a lot of other people. They act like the Clinton’s were some poor people, and shocked that they had $5 million to give to the campaign. Now Obama suggests that the Clintons should disclose their tax returns: Asked whether he would call on the […]
