Expose the Left has the video of Rep. Murtha’s verdict first, trial later condemnation of the US Marines. Here’s the partial transcript: CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Let me ask you Mr. Murtha to give us some details about that. Draw us a picture of what happened at Haditha. REP. JOHN “JACK” MURTHA: Well, I’ll tell you [...]

***update: video clip of journos who broke the story here*** Time magazine reports (hat tip: Kathryn Lopez): Rep. Tom DeLay, whose iron hold on the House Republicans melted as a lobbying corruption scandal engulfed the Capitol, told TIME that he will not seek reelection and will leave Congress within months. Taking defiant swipes at “the [...]

Liberal bloggers, fresh from mauling Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell and launching a boycott campaign against, snort, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, are now targeting Katie Couric for her “right-wing bias.” (Hat tip: Lorie Byrd at Polipundit) Chuckle. Snort. Guffaw. I’ve uploaded the exchange between Couric and DNC chair Howard Dean over Jack Abramoff and his associates’ [...]

MSNBC’s Hardball show actually delivered some interesting news for once tonight, despite Chris Matthews’ anti-Bush spin and uninformed sputtering over the NSA counterterrorism program. NBC’s DOJ correspondent Pete Williams corrects Matthews’ assertion (borrowed from the NYTimes’ report yesterday) that top Justice Department officials opposed the NSA program. In response to Matthews’ fulmination that “it wasn’t [...]

Little Green Footballs has the top 20 nominees for the Annual Robert Fisk Award for Idiotarian of the Year. Tough competition this year includes: Cindy Sheehan Harry Reid Mary Mapes George Clooney Sean Penn Howard Dean Ward Churchill Dan Rather Chris Matthews Nancy Pelosi Noam Chomsky Kofi Annan Ramsey Clark Send LGF any other names [...]

Here are a few of the crackpot sights and ridiculous sounds that made 2005 a year to remember (many thanks to Ian Schwartz at The Political Teen for his indispensable video blogging): Video clips… 10. Spike Lee: Tinfoil hat-wearing levee expert 9. CNBC mugs Bernie Goldberg 8. Union thugs unhinged 7. Chris Matthews unhinged 6. [...]

Obviously the words “Never forget” mean nothing to Chris Matthews: In a speech to political science students at the University of Toronto yesterday, the host of the CNBC current affairs show Hardball had plenty of harsh words for U.S. President George W. Bush, as well as the political climate that has characterized his country for [...]

Via Breitbart/AP, the federal grand jury investigating Plamegate met for three hours today with Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald and adjourned for the day without announcing any action. Tom Maguire, who has covered every twist and turn of the story, posts his predictions. He thinks there will be no Karl Rove indictment. If so, Chris Matthews’ [...]

Unhingedness all around us. Some nutball drove his truck through an anti-war display of crosses down at Camp Cindy Sheehan. Nice to see the far Left finally outraged about the desecration of crosses. Don’t seem to recall their outrage about this or this or this, though. Or, of course, this. *** Update: A closer look [...]

The death of the Pope just couldn’t stop the libs in the media from showing their true colors. Example No. 1: Hawk-eyed Hinderaker at Power Line catches the New York Times in an amazing website goof that rivals CBS’s premature Terri Schiavo obit. Check out the screenshot for the anti-Pope bias in black and white. [...]

I am so sick of the sanctimony of MSM bigmouths lecturing conservatives about the need for civility in the wake of Terri Schiavo’s murder. Look at what MSNBC talk show host Chris Matthews said yesterday on Don Imus’ radio show–a brutish, grotesque, and slanderous quote that the Imus website proudly spotlighted as one of its [...]

At long last Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz has written a full column about the so-called “GOP Talking Points” memo supposedly circulated by Republicans nearly two weeks ago. (Kurtz briefly mentioned the issue last week.) As I alluded to here, ABC News is defending itself on the ground that Linda Douglass reported that the [...]

John Hinderaker of Power Line got this quote from an ABC News source (via Josh Claybourn) on the fishy Schiavo memo first disclosed by ABC News reporter Linda Douglass: the memo discussed a republican bill and was distributed to repulbican senators. That’s what we reported. we are obviously not going to divulge our multiple sources. [...]

Power Line wants to know who wrote and circulated an amateurish unsigned memo about the Schiavo case that was circulated to Senate Republicans last week. Thanks to Power Line, we now know that the memo was written on paper without letterhead and contained no identifying information as to who sent it or who it was [...]

I was recently interviewed by John Hawkins of Right Wing News. He asked me for my thoughts on a wide range of topics, including immigration, internment, death threats, Chris Matthews, Wonkette, Andrew Sullivan, Eason Jordan, and the MSM’s lack of interest in Easongate. Click here to read it.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Ted Kennedy John Kerry Mary Ann Marsh Chris Matthews The Democratic Underground Donatella Lorch Peter Jennings Maureen Dowd (okay, she’s always a sourpuss) The Arab press The American press Did I miss anyone? Update: Votes already coming in for Harry Reid. Of course.

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 [...]

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 [...]

You know everyone’s gonna have one–the winners/losers list. Might as well get started. Feel free to add. Winners: Swift Boat Vets Losers: Lawrence O’Donnell, Chris Matthews, Mary Mapes, insert every other Swift Vet-hating media elitist here Winner: Hillary Clinton Loser: Terry McAuliffe Winner: Zell Miller Loser: Tom Daschle Winner: Florida Gov. Jeb Bush Loser: Florida [...]

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 [...]

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 … [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
