House Speaker Pelosi calls Bush ‘a total failure’
Oh yeah, Nancy,don’t forget this:
The public’s view of Congress is even worse. Its approval rating has hit a new low of just 18 percent, down from 23 percent last month, according to a new AP-Ipsos poll.

The last media outlet on Earth that you’d expect to expose one of the Left’s most cherished myths, did just that this morning. The Washington Post–yes, the POST, not the Times–actually published today an editorial titled “‘Bush Lied’? If Only It Were That Simple.”
You could’ve knocked me over with a feather when […]

…well, okay, it’s her CAMPAIGN that’s dead (or in its last throes, at least), according to AP/Yahoo! News and Michelle Malkin:
Definitely a two-popcorn bag night if you’re a political junkie. It’s the final Democrat primary night of the campaign season. Polls close in South Dakota at 9pm Eastern and in Montana at 10 pm. […]

I’ll be more than happy to pack your bags, honey:
SUSAN SARANDON, who appeared in three films last year and won kudos for her TV movie “Bernard and Doris,” is still not a contented soul. She says if John McCain gets elected, she will move to Italy or Canada. She adds, “It’s a critical time, […]

H/T Michelle Malkin.

Well, as noted before on this blog, the MSM has begun its campaign to trash their favorite RINO, John McCain, after spending months and great effort to have him become the Republican presidential candidate. Michelle Malkin says “Maybe McCain will really mean it now when he jokes about the ‘jerks from the media.’” […]

Un-freakin-believable. Just when you thought you’ve heard it all on the “Cult of Obama,” there’s this:
It’s probably safe to say that you have arrived as a politician when your audience applauds when you blow your nose.
Yes, just a day before a debate in Texas, Sen. Barack Obama has a head cold.
And about a […]

Oh, wait:
The word is that House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif) will be rushing votes today because one of her daughters is getting married this Valentine’s Day weekend.
A quick web search reveals that Christine Pelosi was recently engaged and staying mum on the date and location of the ceremony.
Today the House considers a FISA […]

Now that McCain has pretty much become a shoe-in (no, Hillary, I spelled it “shoe,” not “Hsu“) for the Republican nomination, expect to see the MSM trash their favorite Republican from now until the November election.
You’ll see the headlines they were holding back, like these:

McCain’s Keating Five past could haunt his candidacy
Immigration […]

Berkeley’s at it again:
The City of Berkeley, California has passed two resolutions attacking the United States Marine Corps, calling the Marines, “uninvited and unwelcome intruders in the city.”
The Berkeley City Council voted to condemn the Marines on Tuesday night (January 29th) as part of a campaign by anti-war activists to shut down a U.S. […]

I haven’t said much about who I’d like to see as President. Until now.
I had initially liked Duncan Hunter because of his conservative creds. But unfortunately, he found little traction in a hostile media so he bowed out.
My next choice, Fred Thompson, did poorly in his must-win state, South […]

This item, via Michelle Malkin, has me (a proud Army veteran) seeing red:
In response to a Marine Corps recruiting office established in Berkeley last year, local activists are trying to make it more difficult for future recruiting centers to open in the city.
If passed by a majority of Berkeley voters, a proposed initiative would […]

…thanks to our left-wing:
Cuba’s state-run oil company, Cubapetroleo, has inked a deal with China’s Sinopec to explore for oil in its half of the Florida Strait and is using Chinese-made drilling equipment to conduct the exploration. Since oil fields do not respect international boundaries, Cuba and others will be pumping petroleum that should be […]

John McCain gets endorsed by the New York Times today (for the primary, mind you). As if he didn’t already have enough problems with conservatives…
Below is some of what the NY Times said about McCain, with our comments in italics. Oh, BTW, a big “Thank You” to Michelle Malkin for noting this […]

With all the recent excitement over the Billary-Obama feud, the Nevada caucuses and South Carolina primary, and my own early voting in my home state of Florida, I’d almost forgotten about the Louisiana caucuses last night. Michelle Malkin has the (bad) news:
Senator John McCain has won the Republican party’s caucuses in Louisiana while […]

New Hillary campaign poster:

:-0

Patterico’s Pontifications (a blog I added to the blogroll, BTW) started a contest today, asking readers to fisk a New York Times editorial against an Indiana law that would require voters to have a photo ID.
I took a stab at it in the comments section. But I went through too much work […]

Stop the presses! Her Royal Thighness Hitlery Clinton has just announced her choice for Vice President: Terrell Owens!

The MSM succeeded in getting Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff–the highest ranking military man in the U.S. military (remember, he’s outranked by SECDEF and CINC/POTUS)–to admit that he thinks the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay should be closed.
Asked why he thinks Gitmo should be closed, Admiral Mullen says: […]
