I’d Call it a Journalistic Scandal, but It Involves Maureen Dowd

Jimmie | May 17, 2009 | Comments (0)

Maureen Dowd guilty of plagiarism? Well, color me shocked nigh unto death. I didn’t think there was a limit to how many times someone could write a column based around the theme “ZOMG! Dick Cheney is teh suck!” Apparently, though, Dowd’s well ran dry and she had to snag a whole paragraph from fellow lefty [...]

Why is the MSM Misreporting the Notre Dame Controversy?

Jimmie | May 15, 2009 | Comments (5)

My latest post at The Greenroom delves into the woeful media coverage of the controversy at Notre Dame. My conclusion, such as it is, doesn’t look kindly on the media. So why focus on the speech and not the degree? Well, that’s where you start to see some grey creeping into things. I suppose some [...]

Let’s All Honor our Mothers by Ogling Michelle Obama’s Arms!

Jimmie | May 10, 2009 | Comments (0)

Excuse me while I throw up a little in my mouth. “May I change the subject,” said a prominent Washington theologian at a recent dinner. The conversation had been high-minded — religion, philosophy, the nature of evil. “I’d like to talk about Michelle Obama’s arms,” he said. He is a big fan of those arms. [...]

I thought this administration was going to be all about the transparency. So what’s up with this? You know those family photos that someone snapped at the lake and they really show your unwanted gut hanging out over the swimsuit and so somehow those pictures don’t end up in the family scrapbook? Well, that’s the [...]

Do What We Say or the Media Will Destroy You

It’s fashionable for folks on the right to compare the Obama administration to the hapless, hopeless Carter years. The more we go on, though, the more it’s looking like the Obamessiah is kicking it Nixon-style. One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to [...]

Where Was President Obama Today?

Jimmie | April 28, 2009 | Comments (5)

Anyone want to take a guess at what the President was doing while his people were terrorizing a few thousand Americans? Why, he was getting in a round of golf with a few of his pals! Can you imagine the absolute meltdown the MSM would be having this very minute if this had happened a [...]
