Oh-oh. Republican pundits are getting bored. Over at Politico, Jonathan Martin collects the moans and groans of a dozen right-wing double-domes who couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Peoria’s tamest suburb, all of them urging the GOP to, you know, push the envelope, take the initiative, and, above all, BE BOLD! Wildest of the wild…

Outreach to Blacks, A Republican’s User’s Guide
In the last election, Republicans have noticed that no black people voted for them, and, since they lost, they have started to worry about it. I am not black myself, but I am a sport, and so I have decided to provide a few pointers. Stop trying to prevent black people from voting. They hate…
Suck on it, Hillbillies
Am I a bad winner? Suck on it. Suck on it, Peggy Noonan. Suck on it, George Will, for predicting a Romney landslide. Suck on it, political “expert” Michael Barone, for doing the same. Suck on it, Charles Krauthammer. Suck on it, William Kristol. Suck on it, Weekly Standard. Suck on it, Bibi Netanyahu. We…
Scapegoats, Please
The Republican Party. Well, that was easy. I could blame poor Tim Geithner, whom I’m starting to feel sorry for. Tim was last seen furiously denouncing Standard & Poors for venturing the opinion that things don’t seem to be working too smoothly down in Washington. Felix Salmon posted a very nice column yesterday morning explaining…
Hear, Hear!
Over at the New Republic, David A. Bell takes an eminently justified poke at Tom Friedman and other be-moustached dudes who enjoy bemoaning the decline of America’s greatness: “Middle-Aged Columnists Think America Is In Decline. Big Surprise.” Dave’s piece gives us a guided tour of moans and groans over the past half-century, from such certified…
Goin’ Postal—Three Things You’ll hate about the Sunday Post
There’s a lot to dislike in today’s Washington Post. The usually reliable Richard A. Clarke slides way off the rails with one of those “this didn’t happen but it could have” imaginative reconstructions of what Osama et al. might be talking about these days, what they might be talking about, that is, if Muslim terrorists…
Turn Around And She’s Fifty
Where did the time go? OK, Monica hasn’t run up against the big Five O yet, but when she does, well, I think it might go something like this: “Linda, it’s me.” “What a surprise.” “I deserve that.” “You certainly do. Don’t you have a mother? Not to mention an attorney.” “Linda, sarcasm I don’t…
Debunking Myths or Creating Them?
The Washington Post has plenty of editorial space available, and it’s hardly unreasonable for the editors to offer its pages to “competing views.” But when offering space to outside opinion, one might expect, as a courtesy to its subscribers, that the Post would require these contributors to state their case honestly—opinion yes, propaganda no. But…
That’s so Broder Dept: The Cat Is Back!
The word from Dave: Unelected conservative ideologues—such as Rush Limbaugh and George F. Will—can mutter in frustration, but Republican politicians recognize what was written here as long ago as last Dec. 2: “If the Republican Party really wanted to hold on to the White House in 2009 … it would grit its teeth, swallow its…
Broder gone wild!
David Broder, the MSM’s squarest square, totally bitch slaps poor Al From, long suffering head of the Democratic Leadership Council, who’s constantly getting his butt kicked by the people who hate David Broder! But it’s Broder himself wielding the stiletto this time: “Al From, the head of the Democratic Leadership Council and a longtime defender…
