“The poise! The cupping!”

Ugh. What a wretched dog. GOP Sen. John Ensign of Nevada cheated on his beautiful wife — the mother of his three children — with a campaign aide who was married to one of his Senate staffers. He rode his high horse as a guardian of marriage and Promise Keepers. And then he only admitted [...]

“Misplaced anger.”

I spent a blissful Mother’s Day weekend unplugged and away from the news. So if you’re looking for outrage, faux outrage, and extended commentary on all the narcissism and nastiness at the White House Correspondents Dinner, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
In a nutshell: Liberal comedian Wanda Sykes indulged in Palin-bashing, Rush Derangement Syndrome, and [...]

Omri Ceren takes a look at CNN’s tally of Obama’s gaffes and finds — surprise! — that there are many, many items missing.

Attention, CNN: Meet Don Surber. And meet Bob Newman.

Pants on fire!

Unhinged CNN reporter Susan Roesgen is on “vacation” after scrapping with Tea Party protesters last week, but her bosses are still hard at work trying to stifle Tea Party voices of dissent. As many of you know, CNN forced the takedown of behind-the-scenes video shot by Andrew Marcus of Founding Bloggers and posted to YouTube. [...]

Call the wah-mbulance.
So, the Tea Party protests are “not fit for family viewing” according to one very unhappy CNN reporter, Susan Roesgen, who also fumes over what she calls an “offensive” anti-Obama sign that compares Obama to a fascist. (And yes, I told you this was going to happen.)
But guess what? Newsbusters caught the same [...]

Integrity

“It[']s good for us to say we are meeting with them.”

The Associated Press has really outdone itself. Just look at this headline:
Analysis: Obama achieves defining TV shot in Iraq
It’s a drool-drenched piece on Obama’s masterful “achievement” — manipulating a politically expedient photo op with the troops in Baghdad. The AP “analysis” — or rather, adjunct public relations release — praises Obama for creating an image [...]

“Ultrarich.”

Just finished watching the daily White House press briefing with Robert Gibbs. Alas, the media drool buckets aren’t as full as they once were.
Gibbs pouted that he was “all Russia’ed out” after fielding several questions on the subject.
He boasted that “a million doors were knocked on” by the Obama-bots attempting to manufacture grass-roots support for [...]

“[O]nly now are we discovering what a functioning marriage between equals actually looks like.”

It was a beclowning. A cable castration. Sacrificial slaughter. Sadomasochist programming. But more than anything else, the Jon Stewart/Jim Cramer show was an object lesson. An object lesson in how the one thing the media/infotainment world loves to cover most is itself, itself, itself.
Here is a screenshot of the top half of Memeorandum, the [...]

I like that. Gonna have to borrow that sometime.
Plus: If Chris Matthews were a James Bond villain, what James Bond villain would he be?

Lecher.

I was amused to read about Tucker Carlson’s finger-wagging to conservatives at CPAC yesterday — apparently repeating the canard that the Right doesn’t do reporting like the vaunted New York Times and needs to stop “just analyzing things based on what the mainstream media has reported.”
Yeah, he really said we need to copy the New [...]

The sound of silence.

And the bucket goes to…Ron Fournier of the Associated Press for this overflowing, slobbering prose:
Analysis: Obama address renews audacity to hope
By RON FOURNIER – 46 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama gave America the audacity to hope again.
After describing the U.S. economy in nearly apocalyptic terms for weeks, pushing his $787 billion stimulus plan [...]

Crystal ball.

Obamedia Drool Bucket Award.

The Chicago Tribune’s reporter Jill Zuckman takes a new job as assistant to the secretary and director of public affairs for Transportation Secretary nominee Ray LaHood.
Another Tribune Co. writer and former LA Times reporter Peter Gosselin grabbed a job as chief speech writer for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
That’s in addition to former Time reporter Jay [...]

Savior-based “reporting.”

The honeymoon’s not over for some members of the Obamedia.
Click for your Glowbama photo of the day.
Hope no one gets sued over that holy image.

The Lupoe children: Brittney (8), Jazmin and Jassely (5), and Benjamin and Christian (2).
I think it’s disgusting how Los Angeles politicians and the MSM tried to turn the horrific suicide-murders involving Ervin and Ana Lupoe and their five children today into an object lesson about the bad economy.
The Lupoe parents lost their jobs at Kaiser [...]

Ken Shepherd at Newsbusters take a close look at the White House website’s press briefings section.
Surprise, surprise: There’s not much there there.
So much for transparency.
Meantime, I’m catching up after a few days of travel and just had a chance to watch the video Allahpundit posted yesterday of Obama’s visit with the WH press corps yesterday. [...]

Party time.

In the tank.

Hey, you remember The New Republic — publisher of fraudsters Scott Thomas Beauchamp and Stephen Glass?
Well, TNR editors are patting themselves on the back today for exposing an elderly couple’s lies about their Holocaust love story — a story picked up by Oprah and other duped media outlets:
Last week, TNR published an article by Gabriel [...]
