Have You Left No Sense Of Decency?

777 Comments | Posted April 29, 2008 | 03:29 PM (EST)


If the corporate media had been as diligent about watchdogging President Bush as they have been about watchdogging Reverend Wright, it's very likely we wouldn't have invaded Iraq.

If the corporate media had spent as much time exposing the obvious flaws and grotesque inequalities of Reaganomics throughout the last...

I live in Pennsylvania and Senator Obama just called me and told me to drive to every house and call everyone I know to go vote right now. Okay, so it was a robocall. But it was cool anyway. Also, why is David Gregory shouting tonight?

We like to joke about the "very serious" traditional media. The truth is that while they claim exclusive lordship over integrity and professionalism -- not to mention a corner on the world's supply of pants...

This week, I had the opportunity to chat with a friend, author and blogger Cliff Schecter, about his new book, The Real McCain.

BOB CESCA: Hey Cliff. Before we get into it, I'd like to thank you for injecting the word "trollop" into the 2008 debate.

Senator McSell-Out

Posted April 2, 2008 | 03:56 PM (EST)


Senator John McCain: the American of America's military Americanism for America's America -- Go America! Military! YARRR!

That's the McCain Brand for the general election. And it makes perfect sense. Reason the first: Senator McCain is an American, so there's that connection. Obviously. It doesn't matter that he's also...

Bush's Iraq Strategery: Blame The Troops

Posted March 19, 2008 | 11:10 AM (EST)


One of the most remarkable aspects of the Iraq invasion and occupation has been the administration's -- and mainly the president's -- predictably awful and irresponsible habit of placing the burden of the success or failure of this thing squarely on the shoulders of an already overburdened military. Specifically, President...

Senator Clinton Isn't A Republican, As Far As I Know

Posted March 12, 2008 | 02:34 PM (EST)


Winston Churchill wrote: "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

The big lie -- the "ultimate fear bomb," as Michelle Obama put it -- is this notion that Senator Obama, despite being a Christian and a patriot, isn't...

I Have Some Questions For Tim Russert

Posted February 27, 2008 | 01:57 PM (EST)


Throughout the last seven years, we've observed the very serious traditional media reacting to what many perceive as a bias of all varieties: from a liberal bias, to an anti-liberal bias, to facts proving that some reporters were actually paid to be Bush White House propagandists. According to several very...

Time For Bill O'Racist To Resign In Disgrace

Posted February 21, 2008 | 12:30 AM (EST)


A cursory internet search reveals the shocking truth for those of us who weren't there: photographs depicting a variety of howling posses composed of fire-eyed redneck thugs -- terrorists, if you will -- skulking through the woods with hounds and lengths of rope; hauling with them an American citizen of...

The Wolfson Plagiarism Attack Is Ridiculous

Posted February 18, 2008 | 01:46 PM (EST)


Howard Wolfson is accusing Senator Obama of plagiarizing a speech passage from Governor Deval Patrick.

Wolfson said: "Sen. Obama is running on the strength of his rhetoric and the strength of his promises and, as we have seen in the last couple of days, he's breaking his promises...

Anything can happen at any moment, and I hate making predictions, but if all things remain normal -- no gaffes, no scandals, no major world events -- the only way Senator Clinton can lock this nomination is if she either, 1) negotiates behind the scenes for more superdelegates,...

I can't shut up. MSNBC is adding the delegates like so: Clinton 837, Obama 841.

One more thing... MSNBC calls Alaska for Obama. And this from Markos:

Obama will likely win the battle of the states 14-10. He actually managed to make California unimportant.

It's Time For Progressive Bloggers To Choose A Candidate

Posted January 30, 2008 | 08:03 PM (EST)


Last night's non-victory victory rally in Florida underscored everything that's awful and ridiculous about the Clinton-Clinton '08 style. They pledged not to campaign in Florida, yet they campaigned there anyway. The primary was unofficial and no delegates were counted, yet they celebrated with a televised victory rally anyway -- ostensibly...

Fareed Zakaria Says The War Is Over! Awesome!

Posted January 23, 2008 | 03:58 PM (EST)


It's called the MRAP, or "Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicle." With a price-tag of as much as $1 million each, these new armored transports are designed with a wedge-shaped hull in order to deflect explosive blasts away from the cabin, therefore shielding the soldiers inside.

And much like the surge, it doesn't...

President Bush Shouldn't Play With Sharp Objects

Posted January 17, 2008 | 12:14 PM (EST)


Even though we've been swept into the pulse-pounding vortex of the presidential campaign, every once in a while something happens in the news which snaps us back into the dark reality that an incompetent shit-kicking hoople still occupies the White House.

This past Tuesday, for example, while the stock...

Senator Clinton's Fearmongering Won The Day

Posted January 9, 2008 | 05:56 PM (EST)


Senator Clinton didn't win New Hampshire because she cried. Yet here's how the very serious cable news logic (which is on the same deductive level as, say, Pictionary) sussed out Tuesday night: Senator Clinton went all soft-serve on television; women turned out and voted for Senator Clinton; therefore all of...
