Oh boy, this is going to be great!
“There is now an out in the open civil war within the Republican Party,” conservative Iowa radio host Steve Deace wrote in a Politico op-ed this week.
He’s right.
Karl Rove has launched a new group, the Conservative Victory Project, which will aim to select [...]
And here we have Dana Milbank doing what Dana Milbankk does best — being a clueless dork:
It was a lonely farewell for Joe Lieberman.
When the senior senator from Connecticut stood to give his parting address Wednesday afternoon, just one of his colleagues, Delaware Democrat Tom Carper, was with him on the [...]

This post was co-published with PBS’ Frontline.
The boxes landed in the office of Montana investigators in March 2011.
Found in a meth house in Colorado, they were somewhat of a mystery, holding files on 23 conservative candidates in state races [...]
(ed. note & warning: Please pardon the colorful language, but in context, it seems appropriate.)
“I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day,” Pelosi said to laughter, during a sit-down with reporters. “I’m not kidding. There’s a prison here in the Capitol … If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could [...]
In 2008 Obama’s rhetoric inspired millennials to get active politically. By 2012 Obama’s policies and actions have radicalized the millennials to the extent that they are now leading the way by Occupying Wall Street and several other cities across the nation.
Shorter…no, verbatim Chafets: “We’re all Cheneyites now.”
President Obama has largely adopted the Cheney playbook on combating terrorism, from keeping Gitmo open to trying suspected enemies of the state in military tribunals. Obama’s drone war, which has quadrupled the number of attacks in the past two years, reflects Cheney’s whatever-it-takes approach. The leftist wrath once [...]
There are some crimes so universally offensive that even mentioning the suspected crime has devastating effects. Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) raised just such a question yesterday. In a brief press statement, the Senator said:
“The reported hacking by News Corporation newspapers against a range of individuals – including children – is offensive [...]
“LET ME BE CLEAR”
“But John McCain’s campaign has gone even further, suggesting that the best answer for the growing pressures on Social Security might be to cut Cost of Living Adjustments, or raise the retirement age. Now let me be clear: I will not do either.” –Senator Barack Obama, campaigning for the office of [...]
Never mind prosecuting torturers or banksters. John Edwards’ politics were a threat to the establishment, therefore his penis must be destroyed.
Yup. She’s through whining…right?
Sarah Palin says she’s done.
Done with whining about the media, that is.
In an appearance on Fox News, where she serves as a contributor, Palin shrugged off a recent sexual slur directed her way from comedian Bill Maher, saying, “I’m through whining about a liberal press that holds particularly conservative [...]
Note: First an appearance from Lawrence O’Donnell’s The Last Word on this topic, below my weekly column at AJE
What does he want? Revenge. For what? Being born.
This is the way famous gunslinger Doc Holliday answers equally famous lawman and good friend Wyatt Earp’s inquiry – in their depiction in the movie Tombstone [...]
I was on The Last Word W/Lawrence O’Donnell last night, to remind people John McCain’s a bad dude:

In the wake of President Barack Obama’s premature capitulation to the Republicans in the tax wars, a party who I might remind you controls neither congressional chamber at this moment (they will take over the House in January), once muted criticism of the Commander-in-Chief on the Left has suddenly erupted into a full scale flurry [...]
Item: Sarah Palin Still Thinks She Was Wronged by Katie Couric’s Reading Question
A little over two years ago, one of Sarah Palin’s first interviews after being tapped as John McCain’s running mate was a multipart chat with CBS’s Katie Couric. And it was a disaster. To this day, Palin still has a chip on [...]
Like her or not, it’s hard to ignore the monstrosity that has become “Sarahpalin”. She’s transcended being a politician to becoming a symbol open to interpretation.
For my part, I don’t hate her. I hate Dick Cheney, because I think he knows he’s evil and yet does nothing to better himself. Sarah is just a [...]
