Four parting shots from Thiessen’s “Courting Disaster.”

The following excerpts are taken from Marc Thiessen’s book Courting Disaster — and relevant to the discussion post below regarding Obama Justice Department officials who worked previously defending terrorists (point #3 is huge):
Others say that the lawyers at these firms are in fact following a  great American tradition, in which everyone gets a lawyer and [...]

Mukasey’s high road vs. Thiessen’s “tell it like it is.”

There’s an interesting debate between two former Bush Administration officials regarding the Obama’s  attempt to hide the fact that many of the policy-makers in the Justice Department previously defended al-Qaeda and Taliban detainees in private practice. Both Michael Mukasey, former U.S. attorney general, and Marc Thiessen, former Bush adviser, make comparisons to the Democrats smearing [...]

Stossel 1, O’Reilly 0.

Here’s John Stossel:

Would libertarian Stossel let insurance companies run wild? That’s how Bill O’Reilly teases my Factor appearance tonight.
Bill and I at least agree about the problems with Obamacare, especially the out of control costs it would bring. But he thinks that the government must step in to “regulate insurance companies”, to “make the market [...]

Health insurers don’t make egregious profits.

“We are held hostage at any given moment by health insurance companies that deny coverage or drop coverage or charge fees that people can’t afford.” — Barack Obama, Aug. 14, 2009.
“We’re seeing this at the same time where not only is there an economic downturn around the country, but we know that insurance companies are [...]

“Shut up,” they explained. The “bipartisan” health care experts on the Hill know what’s best for you.

All one needs to know about President Obama’s “bipartisan” health care summit — and his intentions — is succinctly summarized on their own website (which they tried to scrub, but which thanks to Google caching was all for naught).
[Via Michelle Malkin] White House: Where’s the GOP health care plan? Where’s the GOP healthcare plan?
GOP: Um, [...]

Oppose Obamamessiah and you’re a pariah.

[ABC NEWS] ABC News Thomas Giusto and Lindsey Ellerson report:
Conservative author Jason Mattera launched a relentless revolt today against President Obama and the leftist agenda, mocking Obama loyalists during remarks made at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
… Not only did Mattera hit Obama for his acknowledged drug use as a youth, but he went on [...]

Obama’s Deputy National Appeasement Advisor.

Here’s Michelle Malkin commenting on the other stupid things said by Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan.
Brennan then went on to decry the “ignorant feelings” of Americans outraged at the jihadi attacks on American soil. And then he told [Omar] Shahin [of the infamous "flying Imams"] and the audience of Muslim students that he “was [...]

The academic fraud after The Day After Tomorrow.

I had a laugh out loud moment this Sunday night, flipping channels and stopping on the FX network showing (yet again) of The Day After Tomorrow, an apocalyptic global warming movie filled with gratuitous scenes of our destruction.
I imagine the folks at FX programming probably would never have guessed that this weekend one of the [...]

Oh, NOW he tells us!

Here’s Bill Kristol on Joe Biden’s queer historical revisionism:
Vice President Biden — who was for the Iraq war before he was against it, and who then argued that the surge could never work before he decided (in retrospect) that it did — said this to Larry King on Wednesday night:
“I am very optimistic about — [...]

MC Crowbar’s Peaze Prize.

Pretty funny, Crowder, as these things go.
I promise to be more hopey, changey, and such this year… that’s a peace prize!
