Brother, you are wearing him out! “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?” [Obama] said, when asked a foreign policy question by a reporter at the Glider Diner. Do you see the problem here? Here he is, a man of the people, attempting to have a nice waffle sans arugula at a diner, as a regular American would, and a reporter has to ask him a question about foreign policy.

Mistah Kurtz on Obama's Favorite Sermon [Dan Collins]
The fuckwadacity! The fuckwadacity! You know, I seldom mention this, but if you’re ever hanging around bored you might think about clicking through some of the ads Jeff hosts here. If you buy a Learjet, though, tell them Glenn and Helen sent you. Ever since Hillary had her shot and beer in Pennsylvania in response to Baracky’s elitist arugulations, Glenn’s been trying to burnish his regular American bona fides, for
Detroit Cops in the News [Dan Collins]
Lucky Carin. Interesting stuff is always happening near where she lives. Detroit cop arrested when hitman charged on two murder counts claims he executed seven other hits, including Sgt. David Cobb’s wife Rose, murdered in their van while Sgt. Cobb ducked into the pharmacy.
"I Think It's Crap" [Dan Collins]
Sorry I missed this Friday, but in a short B-Cast from Vegas, Scott Baker excoriates Tim Robbins (in his low-key way) for pandering to his audience at the National Association of Broadcasters, who yuck it up over his mean-spirited and self-satisfied tripe dished up as insightful cultural commentary. Dude looks like the cat who swallowed the moa. Geez. I wonder why the industry’s in a death spiral, what, with all
Excitable Andy: Race-baiting black preacher a problem… for Hillary! [Karl]
Excitable Andy is very excited to see video of Pennsylvania Gov. (and Hillary Clinton backer) Ed Rendell heaping praise on the Nation of Islam, proclaiming it evidence of a racial double-standard. Aside from the fact that Obama is not going to raise this, lest everyone be reminded that his church’s newsletter gave Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award, Michael Goldfarb responds: First off, let me just say that I condemn unequivocally Rendell’s
Election 2008: Let's get ready to panderrrrrrr! [Karl]
All three presidential candidates are scheduled to make taped appearances on tonight’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. The Politico’s Ben Smith has the video. First, I am shocked that Obama is not taking the opportunity to tell the approximately five million viewers that they are rubes who cling to pro wrestling because of bad US economic policy. Second, this is clearly a misstep by all three candidates. The WWE audience is used
Debate Cancelled [Dan Collins]
A democratic watershed: We regret to inform you that the proposed Democratic Presidential Debate scheduled for April 27 has been cancelled due to time constraints and logistical issues associated with such a large, national event. You have shown tremendous passion and interest in being a part of history as Democrats are poised this year to elect the first female or African-American President. However, there were also growing concerns about what
Must Smell TV [Dan Collins]
Hillary Clinton on Olbermann. Poop will be pouring out of the box, so throw down a tarp. h/t Hot Air More: Dr. Helen rips bitchtard new vagina. Wow. I feel sorry for Jeremy. Rachel Lucas on that briar patch: Throw in a little withholding of sex and affection, and a nice dose of public humiliation with an article on MSNBC about what a dumbass he is, and you, too, will
Nora Ephron: When Barry Met Hillary [Karl]
Nora Ephron, who carved a career in movies by successfully aping Woody Allen in her screenplay for When Harry Met Sally, is vexed: Here’s another thing I don’t like about this primary: now that there are only two Democratic candidates, it’s suddenly horribly absolutely crystal-clear that this is an election about gender and race. This may have always been true, but weeks ago it wasn’t so obvious — once upon
