***1245pm Eastern update: Laura Ingraham has phoned the Verizon exec I mentioned below, John Harrobin, to come on her show to discuss Akon…apparently, he took a half-day off today and won’t be back until next Wednesday…stay tuned and keep up the pressure for accountability…***

My syndicated column this week:
In 1992, Bill Clinton hit a political home run with his “Sister Souljah” moment. In 2007, Hillary Clinton suffered a reverse “Sister Souljah” strikeout. If it’s not the end of her presidential aspirations, it should be.
Allow me to explain. Fifteen years ago, then-Gov. Clinton was looking to solidify his [...]

Last night, I blogged about Hillary talkin’ like a homegirl at Al Sharpton’s demagogue-a-thon.
More at HA, where see-dubya quips:
MEMO TO HILLARY: When your name is “Clinton”, and you attack the ethics of the Bush administration…
DO NOT MENTION THE OVAL OFFICE CARPET.
Er, yeah.
Ick.

Pagones v. Maddux, Mason and Sharpton - Tawana Brawley Grand Jury Report

The NYPost reports: “Former Mayor Ed Koch surprised an almost exclusively black audience yesterday by telling the Rev. Al Sharpton he had spoiled his chance to become “a crossover leader” by refusing to apologize for “the Tawana Brawley hoax.” Sharpton, for once, reportedly had nothing to say in response. If there’s video of this, let [...]

I noted yesterday that the Dems were flocking to Al Sharpton’s annual demagogue-a-thon this week. The photo above comes via the Boston Globe with the following caption:
Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards shakes hands with Rev. Al Sharpton after speaking during the ‘Keepers of the Dream Awards Dinner’ Wednesday, April 18, 2007 during the 9th annual [...]

Last week, I noted how willing media have propped up race hustler Al Sharpton. There’s one other powerful institution that continues to serve as a Sharpton enabler: the Democrat Party.
Every major presidential candidate is scheduled to pay homage at Sharpton’s annual National Action Network convention this week–beginning with John Edwards and climaxing with Barack Obama:
Civil [...]

Video from last night’s show here.
I think I was about to hurl when Geraldo called Al Sharpton a “great man” and one of the nation’s top “civil rights” leaders. You can hear me mutter “whose civil rights?” Certainly not the rights of innocent prosecutor Steve Pagones, who was truly scarred for life by the lying, [...]

Hoo-boy. That was a fun, wild ride.
Here are the video highlights and lowlights of my first of two guest host stints on The O’Reilly Factor.
Tonight’s show replays at 11pm Eastern. I’ll be back tomorrow night.
In a nutshell:
One Opio Sokoni informs us it’s all the Founding Fathers’ fault that hip-hop “artists” treat women like meat [...]

I’ll be guest-hosting on The O’Reilly Factor tonight and tomorrow night. Tonight, we’ll be talking Imus, Sharpton, Snoop Dogg, Duke, illegal alien sanctuary challenges, and more. See ya in the No-Spin Zone.

My syndicated column this week: THE CULTURE OF “BITCHES, NIGGAS, AND HOS”
Let’s stipulate: I have no love for Don Imus, Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson. I repeat: A pox on all their race-baiting houses.
Let’s also stipulate: The Rutgers women’s basketball team didn’t deserve to be disrespected as “nappy-headed hos.” No woman deserves that. I agree [...]

Update: MSNBC buys time…two-week suspension for Imus…It’s a civility offset!

Update: Here’s vid of my discussion with O’Reilly and Kirsten Powers tonight. I’m really tired of people likening Rush Limbaugh’s criticism of Donovan McNabb to Imus’s racial epithets.
Rush spoke the truth. Sports writer Allen Barra weighed in and his piece in Slate in 2003 is worth [...]

Washington Post goes A1 this morning with a story about a possible Michael Bloomberg presidential candidacy: Gag.
Aren’t there enough pro-abortion, anti-gun, open borders candidates running for president?
Endorsed by Al Sharpton. Faaabulous:
“He would be a very compelling candidate,” said civil rights activist Al Sharpton, himself a once and potentially future presidential hopeful from the Big Apple, [...]

Amanda Marcotte: A bleepin’ embarrassment
Last week, far left-wing blogger Amanda Marcotte began her stint as Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards’ “blogmaster:”

A few days ago, I noted Jane Fonda’s scheduled appearance tomorrow at a Navy Memorial protest. She’ll be joined by legions of others coming to Washington, D.C. this weekend:

Rest in peace, BP. There’s a No. 72 car waiting for you in the sky. When I used to cover NASCAR, I was near BP’s home track in Rockingham. Benny exemplified the down-home, approachable, good-humored charm that still draws people to NASCAR.
He was one of the best guys to talk to about the old [...]

The Wall Street Journal reports on a “new breed” of poll watchers who will be out in full force tomorrow. Beware. Behind the civic-minded facade are far Left radicals whose main conern is not in ensuring a fair election process–but in preemptively undermining and delegitimizing it:

Michael Steele is burning up the campaign trail and the airwaves. The GOP Senate candidate and Maryland Lt. Gov. took his clue-by-four to the Washington Post on Fox News Sunday. Responding to a WaPo editorial attempting to paint him as the “establishment” candidate, Steele upbraided the smug punditocracy with his trademark anti-establishment candor:

Here is a very telling campaign moment you won’t read about in the New York Times. Yesterday, Democrat Rep. Ben Cardin, the Senate candidate in Maryland, tried to rally black politicians to his side after GOP challenger Michael Steele won huge endorsements from black Democrats in liberal [...]

The guys at HA have it covered tonight.

Hot Air’s Ian Schwartz was in Baltimore tonight and captured video of hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons’ endorsement of GOP Senate candidate Michael Steele. It’s a highly significant event for the Steele campaign. Steele and Simmons became friends a few years ago “because the two share interests in minority entrepreneurship and housing,” reports WJLA. The Washington [...]

Yes, it’s true. America’s Shakedown Artist is headed to the Middle East “to meet with political and religious leaders about troubles in the region, including the kidnapping of two Fox News journalists.” More via AP:

The New York Times discovers the moonbat reverse-diet plan in a piece titled “As a tactic, starving is found wanting:”
Saddam Hussein ended his 19-day hunger strike last Wednesday with a meal of beef, rice and Coca-Cola, but he had little to show for his starvation. Iraqis in particular, living day-to-day with brutal sectarian violence, viewed [...]
