Attorney General Eric Holder, Team Obama’s Dirty Dozen (get your trading cards here)
I’ve been pounding on corruptocrat Attorney General Eric Holder’s brazen conflicts of interests and terror-friendly law firm work. Now, the Washington Times has the exclusive on a DOJ recusal list that looks to be the tip of the iceberg:
The Obama Justice Department is [...]

Attorney General Eric Holder, Team Obama’s Dirty Dozen (get your trading cards here)
I mentioned this event in my Fort Hood column last week — and it went as nauseatingly as expected: Corruptocrat Attorney General Eric Holder flew to Detroit last night to pay homage to Arab-American/Muslim grievance groups and to reassure them that he’s backing [...]

Update: 11/19 9am…Holder hedges on GOP request for disclosure/recusal information…

Attorney General Eric Holder, Team Obama’s Dirty Dozen (get your trading cards here)
If you’ve been paying attention, you already know all about AG Eric Holder and his DOJ staff’s national security conflict of interest as senior partner with Covington & Burling — the prestigious Washington, D.C. [...]

Yesterday, I noted the troubled political life and sudden death of Chicago developer/Daley croney/Olympic bid-pusher/public schools chief Michael Scott.
The medical examiner’s office ruled the death a suicide.
But the case is not closed. Police are still continuing a probe:
“We know what the (medical examiner) ruled, but there’s still a lot of questions that exist out there,” [...]

Scroll for updates…
Michael Scott’s name came up several times during the Obama-lympics 2016 debacle. He was one of many Chicago cronies who stood to gain from the bid.
The local papers in Chicago sniffed out his conflicts of interest as an Olympics committee member who was also involved in trying to develop a for-profit real [...]

“Extreme” in a skirt.

Justice is served. The race hustlers will bray and moan, but disgraced Democrat Rep. William “Cold Cash” Jefferson had it coming. Thirteen years in prison for what the judge in the case called “the most extensive and pervasive pattern of corruption in the history of Congress:”
Former Rep. William Jefferson was sentenced today to [...]

It’s Friday. The president is flying off to Asia. Congress is not in session. Perfect time to drop a bombshell on the American people:
The Obama administration is bringing 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed to New York City for a civilian trial.
No, it’s not a joke. Via the NYT:
Self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and [...]

The thug politics power couple of Anita “A Pox on Fox” Dunn and Bob “The Silencer” Bauer isn’t going anywhere. I said it earlier this week and on Fox News early Thursday morning (vid here).
Now comes word late tonight that Bauer is indeed — as has been rumored for nearly a month via Glenn Beck [...]

You’ll remember on election night a few weeks ago, upstate New York was reporting all sorts of ballot-counting glitches even as NY-23 conservative candidate Doug Hoffman conceded the race.
Now, the Syracuse Post-Standard reports that the race has tightened considerably — with thousands of military and overseas ballots still to be counted:
Conservative Doug Hoffman conceded the [...]

The good news for the GOP comes in a new Gallup poll showing Republicans edging about Democrats ahead of 2010 — and independents breaking the elephants’ way:
Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats by 48% to 44% among registered voters in the latest update on Gallup’s generic congressional ballot for the 2010 House elections, after trailing [...]

Conservatives are making sure the RNC and NRCC hear their voices. As I mentioned this morning, readers continue to e-mail me copies of the rejected RNC solicitation forms they’ve sent back to Washington.
GOP offices better prepare for a new onslaught. As I said earlier this morning, the repercussions of NY-23 will be felt well beyond [...]

Skyrocketing property taxes were a huge issue in the NJ governor’s race.
They were on the ballot here in Colorado, too. And the limited government message was sent loud and clear:
Rattled by an economic downturn and skeptical of the dire predictions emanating from City Hall, Colorado Springs voters overwhelming rejected a proposal to raise property taxes [...]

Glenn Reynolds says the “Obama magic has faded.”
The glow is gone.
The swagga has sagged.
Indeed:
In fact, the elections underscored Obama’s political weakness just one year after his triumphant victory over Republican moderate John McCain.
The Obama invincibility that was so much in evidence then seems to have lost its power. People can argue the reasons why [...]

Conservatives owe NY-23 candidate Doug Hoffman immeasurable gratitude. He overcame impossible odds (single digits just a month ago) to come within two points of defeating Democrat Bill Owens. Hoffman had zero name recognition. National Republican Party officials dumped nearly $1 million into the race on behalf of radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava, who [...]

Guess it’ll be an early night for all the Democrat water-carriers in the media who have already filed their preemptive pieces downplaying whatever happens tonight after the polls close and the ballots are counting.
Here’s a bit of the Obama-as-a-factor-but-not-as-much-as-we-want-you-to-think analysis of exit poll results.
Politicker reports on the return of “It’s the economy, stupid:”
Forty-six percent of [...]

I noted earlier this morning the GOP’s need to purge its suicidal ACORN/WFP/SEIU alliances.
Last month, I spotlighted Republicans in Illinois who continue to take gobs of money from ACORN’s alter ego, the SEIU.
Anita MonCrief has a related must-read in the Hot Air Green Room on “How NY23 Revealed the Republicans’ ACORN Problem.” Excerpt:
ACORN is a [...]

No surprises here.
Radical leftist Dede Scozzafava, the GOP NY-23 candidate who dropped out over the weekend, was an ACORN-embracing, Working Families Party-consorting, Big Labor crony.
White House political director Patrick Gaspard is a leading ACORN/SEIU/Working Families Party operative from New York.
The Washington Post reports that Gaspard played a critical role in Scozzafava’s endorsement of Democrat Bill [...]

Hey, how did that six-figure RNC donation to the NRCC plus $85,000 to the New York GOP plus nearly half-million-dollar investment in advertising and other independent expenditures on behalf of radical leftist Dede Scozzafava work out?
She repaid the GOP by endorsing Democrat candidate Bill Owens. Some gratitude, eh?
“Since beginning my campaign, I have told [...]

Yes, the woman who bragged about recruiting Marxist rabble-rouser Van Jones is lambasting conservatives for spurning radical leftist ACORN/Big Labor embracer Dede Scozzafava:
White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the rise of a Conservative Party challenger in a closely watched upstate New York House election shows that the Republican [...]

Nightmare on Eighth Avenue.

Halloween treat.

My syndicated column today gives you a handy overview of all the president’s campaign finance bundlers — many of whom were spotlighted in Culture of Corruption. The Washington Times and USA Today shed more light on the money men and women with access to the White House. Same old, same old.
The Obama White House: Bundlers’ [...]

There’s a new website dedicated to exposing White House senior adviser/Chicago consigliere/real estate mogul Valerie Jarrett.
Call her out.
Policing Obama’s culture of corruption takes eternal vigilance.

As if we needed any more evidence that establishment Republicans are conservatism’s own worst enemy:
Godawful.

It’s becoming a regular feature here at michellemalkin.com — disgusted conservative readers sending photos and forwarding their “no, hell no!” responses to national Republican Party fund-raisers. They’re sending back Newt Gingrich’s books and telling the Beltway GOP to “Wake up!” Many others I’ve received are, um, unprintable.
Today’s rejected RNC solicitation form of the day comes [...]

Stephanie Villafuerte, evader.

Received this statement from a group of conservative Colorado Republican legislators who are lending their support to NY-23 conservative candidate Doug Hoffman. They tell me they “hope the effect will be to energize other Republican state legislators around the country to do the same:”
Colorado Republican legislators Sen. Scott Renfroe, Sen. Kevin Lundberg, Sen. Greg Brophy, [...]

The White House etiquette czar gives its seal of approval to Alan Grayson’s verbal diarrhea. President Obama was in Florida last night and praised Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson as an “outstanding member of Congress.”
But even Democrats are embarrassed by Grayson’s crude rhetoric:
Republicans and Democrats slammed Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) for calling Linda Robertson, an adviser [...]
