The most trusted name in news.

Of course, it’s not like it has a lot of competition, at this point.

…over at Big Hollywood.

Neither wiretapping, or tampering. We’ll see what the actual charges say, if there’s an actual indictment.

To yesterday’s. Is racism a characteristic of the “right wing,” or the “left wing”?

[Update mid morning]

One of the biggest disappointments of my life to date is that Keith Olbermann has never designated me the Worst Person In The World. I’d love to be so honored before his dozens of viewers.

And I don’t know why. I’m sure that I’m at least as racist as Jay Nordlinger is.

OK, the topic is drifting a little now, but Jonah (who has been so honored by KO) has some further thoughts:

I think it would be interesting to catalog all of the Worst Person in the World winners and see what percentage of them the average person A) likes more and B) would be more likely to trust babysitting their kids. My hunch is that Olbermann would rate pretty low on both scores.

Hey, I just realized, for a second there I forgot Olbermann is white. For what that’s worth.

Heh.

…is Obama’s kryptonite.

We should put an end to it. There’s nothing in it required by the Constitution. As noted, the current State of the Union format was invented by Woodrow Wilson, the closest thing this country ever had to a fascist dictator. Why would we want to continue it?

More thoughts from Mark Steyn:

…as monarchical theatre it sucks. If you’re going to have an annual affront to republican virtue, you could at least have Barney Frank in knickerbockers and full-bottomed wig walking backwards shouting, “Hats off, strangers!”

Hey, I’d watch that.

That’s what CBS and the LA Times do.

…a sign of emotional distress?

The man is clearly way out of his depth.

Thoughts from Jim Garaghty:

Unless former John Edwards aide Andrew Young is making it all up — and at this point, Edwards has forfeited the benefit of the doubt — America came within Ohio’s electoral votes of electing a mad, narcissistic, and perhaps psychopathic monster to the vice presidency.

…It can’t be said enough. Almost every Democrat in the country did everything they could to put this man into the vice presidency in 2004, and quite a few of them worked hard to put him into the presidency in 2007 and 2008.

It’s what they do. And the truly disgusting thing is the way that the press, particularly the LA Times, covered for him.
