Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…

Comedy Central

Dim bulbs.

Problem: Too many damned conservative authors dominating the New York Times best-seller lists. Solution: A Fairness Doctrine from books!

Make a note of the Hollywood celebrities featured in this health insurance industry-bashing joint production from MoveOn.org and Will Ferrell, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, et al. No word yet on whether they’ll be making a protest video about the fund-raiser for Nancy Pelosi in Washington, D.C. being hosted by UnitedHealth care lobbyist Steve Elmendorf — [...]

Nutroots compassion.

What’s more shameless than the Associated Press defying the wishes of a dying Marine’s family and splashing his bloody body all over the wires? Why, the Huffington Post reprinting a massively large version of the image on its front page with an accompanying blog commentary praising the AP photographer’s work as “tasteful” — along with [...]

“…among our prizes is a grand-prize of a trip for two to Honolulu, Hawaii…”

A whopping two people have contributed a whopping $75 to the new campaign to unseat NY GOP Rep. Peter King because he called Michael Jackson a “low-life” and a “pervert.” HuffPo is promoting this lost cause. Shamon!

I noted on Twitter and in my live-blog of Obama’s press conference that the president called on/coached HuffPo’s Nico Pitney in an obvious, pre-planned question on Iranians communicating through social media and the Internet. The question itself was unobjectionable and Obama’s response was so bland and rambling I don’t remember it. But what was noteworthy [...]

Huff and puff.

Who’s up for a nickname contest for Arianna Huffington’s recycling website? My suggestion: The Huffington Re-Post. I like Whet Moser’s, too: Grand Theft HuffPo.

Fannie/Freddie fooferaw.

Want a project for the holidays? Check this out: Arianna Huffington is calling on her minions to design posters that capture their BDS spirit. It’s “A HuffPost Project: Posterizing the Modern GOP.” She hooked up with one Rich Silverstein, the guy who created the “Got Milk?” ad campaign, and came up with three posters “that [...]

Blogger for Gulfstream Liberal Queen’s website attacks conservative driving habits. Hilarity ensues.

…but HuffPo and Co. only complain when it’s directed at themselves. No mention of hate-monger Jane Hamsher’s “b**ch is dead meat” and “sandpaper sn**ch” attacks on Kate O’Beirne. No mention of other “feminist” attacks on independent-minded (read: non-left) bloggers–a phenomenon Dr. Helen noted here. And, of course, no mention of this or this. Some women [...]

MKH notices that the Huffington Post has disallowed comments on an article about VP Cheney’s blood clot. The first step toward recovery…

The big buzz out of the Lieberman-Lamont debate today was generated by……GOP candidate Alan Schlesinger. Yup. Greg at The Political Pit Bull thinks he was a bit over the top, but agrees Schlesinger made the most of the debate. He’s got video highlights. The New York Times notes that nobody talked much at the debate [...]

The HuffMobile Reader Doug, who posts at FreeRepublic.com, sent this photo, which he took while covering the Sierra Club’s national summit in San Francisco last weekend. The handsome, full-size sport utility vehicle pictured above is a Chevy Suburban. It was sent by the anti-SUV environmental puritans of the Sierra Club to pick up fellow, eco-zealot [...]

Thanks to OTB, I see that Michelle’s blog, this one you’re reading right now, is the biggest, baddest blog in the world. On behalf of my co-guest bloggers, I’d like to take all of the credit for myself. Of course I would like to take that credit, but it would be absurd to do so. [...]

Pssst, did you hear? Arianna Huffington’s new celebrity/grass-roots/pundit elite/progressive/whatever blog launches today. I’m informing you because, as the Huffers tell us, those evil, corporatist media meanies don’t allow enough little voices to be heard. As Hollywood moonbat-turned-Huffington blogger Laurie David crowed: “The Huffington Post is going to balance the power out there that the media [...]
