I’ve been going after MSNBC host Joe Scarborough a lot lately because that station is letting him run around unchecked for countless hours as an “objective journalist.” I’m fine with “objective journalists” injecting a little bit of opinion here and there, but there isn’t a moment when Scarborough is on camera that [...]
Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have trumpeted “change” as part of their message to to voters. Actually, Obama trumpeted change — Romney just saw that it worked and “changed” his platform to incorporate change. And that message has apparently resonated with members of the South Carolina General Assembly who have embarked [...]
Years from now when the story is written about the 2008 Republican presidential primary and John McCain’s now-likely historic ascent to victory, it is quite likely that Florida Gov. Charlie Crist will be given credit for being “The Kingmaker.” Crist, who is surely at the top of McCain’s short list of potential running mates, put [...]
Rep. Bob Inglis of South Carolina’s “Fightin’ Fourth” District took to Comedy Central’s Colbert Report Wednesday night as the 50th installment of the show’s 434 part series “Better Know a District.” During the interview, Inglis was “grilled” for providing “faulty umbrella intelligence” to President Bush in a letter he wrote about the [...]
Here’s another bit of total B.S. from MSNBC’s “unbiased” news host/secret Mitt Romney spinster Joe Scarborough. On Tuesday, he presented as fact the bogus Romney spin-machine claim that if Mike Huckabee wasn’t in the race, Romney would be winning.
But here’s what the exit polling showed:

There’s a reason that the South Carolina presidential primary exit polls showed Mitt Romney lost handily to John McCain among the 31 percent of voters who listed the War in Iraq or terrorism as the most important issue facing the country (52% to 7% with the former group, 33% to 13% with the latter).

I’m not sure if this would violate the Uniform Drinking Age Act, but Rep. Fletcher Smith is sponsoring a bill that would allow service members under the age of 21 to purchase alcohol.
All the service member would have to do is show his or her military identification card to the bartender or store clerk.

All signs indicate that no, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is not fair. Not at all. Even if I ignored the signs though, I could just turn my television to “The Place for Politics” and wait five minutes or so for this “objective journalist” to take the screen and present “bias free” [...]
TIME Magazine ran a piece last week on presidential candidate John McCain’s big South Carolina victory and snapped the above photo at the moment the Associated Press declared him the winner of this state’s primary. The look on McCain strategist Trey Walker’s face (left) — one of the masterminds of the successful eight-year campaign [...]

John McCain won the Florida GOP presidential primary tonight and likely the Republican nomination, but the real news of the night was that rival Mitt Romney summoned the genius of Miss Teen South Carolina during his concession speech. During that speech, which rudely cut off a similar concession by Rudy Giuliani, Romney said “our [...]
