We made it. Barely! Still feeling queasy and exhausted (thanks for all the kind get-well e-mails), but was glad I held out long enough to meet so many nice, cool people at CPAC yesterday.
Hubby and kids had a great time wandering around the cavernous Ronald Reagan building, a behemoth, federally-subsidized architectural irony which I went [...]

Reader Charles Morrison passes along an amazing story from ABC News Radio. Here’s the intro:
The ABC’s Middle East Correspondent, Mark Willacy, is in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
Mark Willacy, we’ve heard reports about the high voter turnout, but now there are reports of how some voters have taken on the insurgents in order to vote, you [...]

Last night, MSNBC blabber Chris Matthews suggested that the powerfully moving hug between Safia Taleb al-Suhail, who recently voted in the Iraqi elections, and Janet Norwood, mother of a Marine who died in Iraq, was staged. Matthews sneered that fellow MSNBC host Pat Buchanan was being “naive” for arguing otherwise.
Well, Diane Sawyer on ABC’s Good [...]

Just received an e-mail from reader Carol T. about cable TV slobberer Chris Matthews:
Matthews is using your face in his commercial while the voiceover is saying “No one stops the spin like Chris Matthews”…inferring of course that YOU were the one doing the spinning on that blasted show of his - when we know it [...]

Here’s the “news quote of the day” from Chris Matthews, which is featured on Don “Execute the Swift Vets” Imus’ website:
“When you lose an election, it’s horrible especially if you have been President for four years. Can you imagine being President for four years, living in the White House, thinking that you are part of [...]

Well, we’re gonna make you proud this year. We’re gonna come out in numbers you’ve never seen before.
–P. Diddy, promising to deliver the youth vote in an interview with Hillary Clinton
Oops. Looks like Diddy will be eating bling-bling pie tonight. The AP reports on the youth-vote flop:
This was not the breakout year for young voters [...]

Something unbelievable just went down on MSNBC’s Scarborough Country. Lawrence O’Donnell screamed at John O’Neill for two segments as substitute host Pat Buchanan hopelessly tried to moderate. O’Donnell interrupted O’Neill every few seconds, repeatedly called the Vietnam veteran a “liar” and a “creep,” and sneered, scowled, and shouted at the top of his lungs about [...]

Today’s my birthday (34 in case you and Chris Matthews were wondering). It’s funny how your own birthday becomes of less and less consequence when you have kids, or at least that has been my experience. My four-year-old daughter asked yesterday why we weren’t having a big party. (Birthday=Party).
“Mommy, don’t you need to go [...]

Just got back from The O’Reilly Factor, which I did via FOX’s Washington, D.C., studio, and heard that some hooded hoodlum barged in on MSNBC’s Hardball show at the GOP convention in NY. Drudge is reporting:
Attack Attempt On MSNBC Chris Matthews… Live On Air… Street Set Outside Convention… Hooded protester jumps security line … Police [...]

Belmont Club has a trenchant analysis of the battle underlying the “Kerry vs Swiftvets bout.” The veterans’ story is not only a threat to the Kerry campaign, but also to the control freaks in the mainstream media. Excerpt:
The power of the Mainstream Media lay in the fact that they controlled the generation of news objects; [...]

Here’s a peek behind the cable TV curtain. It’s not pretty.
So, my publicist arranges for me to go on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews on Thursday night to talk about my recent columns on the FBI and national security profiling and my new book. Despite the show’s basement ratings, we figure it’s a good opportunity [...]
