The Internet’s most notorious sock-puppeteer leads the wailing and gnashing of teeth across the Leftosphere as proposed amendments to the FISA containing telecom immunity start moving through the Senate. Rick Ellensburg blows a gasket, not at the evil BushCo, but at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT): If and when telecom immunity is passed (thereby forever extinguishing any hope of investigating and obtaining accountability for the President’s

Glenn Reynolds’s cousin has a petition site up.  I agree with him that it’s ridiculous that the Olympic Committee are dragging their heels about it. The idea of lithe women in tight-fitting clothing flying out of the sky towards me on an enormous flat-screen TV appeals to me, I must admit.  Also, the question of how breastature affects the sail-time is innately fascinating.

Just because I prefer stories about the ground game is no reason to ignore those horse race polls entirely.  Following a rash of new polls in Florida, the RCP average currently has Sen. John McCain’s lead over Mitt Romney down to +0.4.  Marc Ambinder says the St. Petersburg Times/Miami Herald poll was conducted by Rob Schroth and Tom Eldon, generally considered the best of the non-partisan political pollsters in the state. 

The Onion headlines one of its parodies, “Bill Clinton: ‘Screw It, I’m Running For President’”.  On The Daily Show, Jon Stewart mocks Bill’s claim to have overheard incidents of voter-intimidation in Nevada, noting that Bill and his entourage do not exactly fade into the wallpaper. Thus, mockery of the Clintons spreads beyond the purview of Sen. Barack Obama and left-leaning bloggers. Of course, this is not the first time the Clintons have

That’s the idea behind this AoS post from some bizarre hour at which anyone awake should be eating a drunken breakfast at Denny’s. Hahaha!  As if!  He needs to get him [sic] some schooling in the hip, now lingo from Grandmaster Mittmeister. Oh, look.  Proggs astonished by mendacity of ABC News.

The blogosphere is abuzz with the story of the “study” by the Center for Public Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism on a website compiling the Bush Administration’s well-known and oft-discussed pre-invasion statements about Iraq.  Indeed, Dan Collins has covered it here at PW.  At HotAir, Bryan Preston writes that the AP story should have been labeled a press release and that the NYT similarly missed that the Center

Can Sen. Barack Obama — a former community activist — build an organization from scratch?  The Wall Street Journal (non-subscribers can try Google News for the time being), after noting Sen. Hillary Clinton’s traditional effort to secure endorsements from powerful politicians and preachers in South Carolina, reports: Mr. Obama, in contrast, is trying something many observers say has never been done here: He is circumventing entrenched local leadership and building a political machine

I say it’s a natural match, as they share similar philosophies regarding which information or disinformation to suppress or promote.

At the American Spectator, Jennifer Rubin thought it was a big deal that a new SurveyUSA poll from California showed McCain at 41% to 17% for Romney, Rudy at 13% and Huckabee at 10%.  Yet she downgraded it in an update because it was a poll of the “Bay Area only.”  At NRO’s Corner, Rich Lowry joked that “McCain is now poised to sweep to victory in Nancy Pelosi’s district!” Rubin is going
