The Whore Factor

The choice of Hillary Clinton as Barack Obamas Secretary of State is one of those mighty wind-generating news items that will keep pundits busy for days or even weeks; like a lot of campaign reporters, however, Im suffering from Hillary fatigue after last year and find myself with absolutely no opinion at all about that head-scratching nomination.

The Barack-watching business has begun to take...

From the Issue: Requiem for a Maverick

John McCain ran one of the most incompetent, schizo campaigns in history — and for that we owe him big-time.

Palinalysis

So the other day Im getting off a plane in Minneapolis — thanks to Al Franken and Norm Coleman, the long-awaited post-election chillout period never materialized — and I see Sarah Palins face onscreen on a CNN broadcast in the Limbergh terminal.

As side note: Its been a tremendous relief to me personally to see that Sarah Palin has consistently stayed in the public eye since her walloping...

Wall Street Experts Needed

Friday afternoon in the city: I basically needed two days after the election to get caught up rest-wise; when I finally woke up, I found out that Chuck Schumer was already starting to talk about bringing the Fairness Doctrine back. Somehow you knew after Obama won that some of the dumber Democrats would be unable to help themselves and would show up on TV the next day in full marking-their-territory mode, pissing on...

The Day After

So its over. Wont have much to say here, since I just got done writing a piece for the magazine following a long day and night of travel and my brain is therefore in full melted cheese mode right now.

On my flight from Atlanta to Phoenix yesterday evening I sat next to a McCain supporter from Georgia, a retired military guy gone into sales. We were both watching the returns come in on Deltas in-flight TV...

From the Issue: The Death of a Red State

Illustration:Victor JuhaszThe strategy of the Era of Rove has worked for a long time — but now,
suddenly, things are different. Not
only does the torch-bearing evangelical Colorado of Ted Haggard and
James Dobson appear poised to turn its nine electoral votes blue
for a nonwhite presidential candidate, but the congressional seat
belonging to one of Americas most celebrated gay-bashers in this

In connection with the whole whining theme, something has to be said about Republican third-stringer [Michelle Malkin’s column yesterday](http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/29/notorious-obamedia-moments-of-2008/). As noted, we should all brace ourselves for an unprecedented period of whining about liberal media bias; its starting already, with hacks like Malkin already cranking out what...

Generation Whine

Off today to Pennsylvania to catch a joint McCain-Palin appearance. That should be fun. McCains latest tactic is to cast himself as the last electoral bulwark America might ever have the chance to employ against the inevitable socialist takeover. I cant wait to see the applause he gets from all those Pennsylvanian anticommunists.

The reason I even joke about this is — well, let me just make this one...

Before I even put up todays post more letters from the York exchange started piling up accusing me of not knowing what Im talking about – so Im assuming those same letters will be even more relevant after they see that post. Nothing quite like a dilettante trying to explain the theory of relativity. Good show! wrote one.Okay, first of all, give me a break with the theory of relativity nonsense. If all of you...

Making that first entry in a blog is sort of like taking that first step into sexual deviancy. Once that zipper comes down, the label sticks forever.  Blogger. What a horrible word. It has such an awful, dirty, biological sound to it. The words it reminds me of are words like felch, belch, bilge, log, globes and rubber. It sounds like belching log-rubber. And now I am one. I feel sick.I’ll get into why we here...

From the Issue: Mad Dog Palin
rollingstone|TAIBBI UNBOUND
Illustration: Victor JuhaszSarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, shes a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power. Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, shes the tawdriest, most...
