The Cad! [Dan Collins]

This is terrible.  I’m . . . I’m searching for a metaphor that will encompass the betrayal . . . it’s . . . it’s as if he drove women’s aspirations off a bridge and left them there to drown.

Sex Imam-Ugh [Dan Collins]

I know! Let’s remake Bridget Loves Bernie! A Wall Street stockbroker fears for her life after she rebuffed a Brooklyn imam she met on a Muslim dating Web site. In an explosive $50 million lawsuit that blows the lid off the wacky world of Muslim dating in New York, Cherine Allaithy alleges the religious leader promised he would make her one of four future wives and boasted of a cousin

Uh . . . Thanks [Dan Collins]

GOP 2008: McCain’s Finance Co-Chair has a long history of funding Democrats [Karl]

Michelle Malkin profiles  Jerry Perenchio, a National Finance Co-Chair of the McCain 2008 campaign and the billionaire founder of Spanish-language media conglomerate, Univision.  MM notes that Perenchio funded the opposition to California’s Prop. 227, which dismantled “bilingual education,” as well as the opposition to Prop. 187, the measure banning social services to illegal aliens.

Get a Load of This Kook [Dan Collins]

It’s become commonplace to conclude that those who disagree with us politically are out of their minds. How else could we explain the fact that – in our eyes – their positions are so catastrophically wrong? überconservative Michael Savage has argued for years that liberalism is a form of mental illness. Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks says President Bush should be committed. Others have called Mr. Bush a madman. “I

With Tuesday’s Florida Democratic primary in flux, the Monday morning dish on the Dems is a pudding without a theme.  Well, maybe there’s a dash of theme. This morning, the New York Times remains on Clinton Disillusionment Syndrome watch: Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign team, seeking to readjust after her lopsided defeat in South Carolina and amid a sense among many Democrats that Mr. Clinton had injected himself clumsily into the

GOP 2008: Do the Crist & Martinez endorsements matter? [Karl]

I Ran Across [Dan Collins]

this headline this morning: Presidential Candidate to Make Springfield Stop To stop what? Certainly the answer must be of some moment to at least some of the inhabitants of that community. This is the sort of thing that better proofreading can (dare I say it?) stop. Meanwhile, those poor Springfielders are suspended on tenterhooks. Most uncomfortable.
