Hunting Spin Down
The early CW (a.k.a., “the first thing that popped into Poltico’s collective head”) in DC is that Huntsman was “savvy” to endorse McCain in the primaries—his dad endorsed Romney, you know, so they had their bases covered. Bullshit. People endorsing McCain in late 2007 were hopeless optimists, not savvy. Those were the dark days of the campaign, with a...

The seal, which features an eagle with wings spread, is not...

Via Choire: “Jann Wenner: Jim [Clark] and Marc [Andreessen] set up a demonstration. I’d never seen a hyperlink before. I don’t think anybody had. And it was kind of drop-dead amazing. That you could click on this blue, highlighted, underlined word and then, bam, go to a whole new level of information was dazzling.”
I think this explains a lot about why people thought Suck...

“The expression “books by the foot” sounds a bit strange to people. After all, most of us are used to buying books based on the quality of the text and/or the reputation of the author. Here at Book Décor, however, we see books for more than their intellectual value. We also perceive them as excellent design investments. If you want a book that you can read, enjoy...

“Bridget Jones…goes back to her miserable bedsit, sits down, pours herself an enormous glass of chardonnay, sits there with mascara running down her cheeks saying, ‘Dear diary, I’ve failed again, I’ve poured an enormous glass of chardonnay and I’m going to put my head in the oven.’ Great marketing aid!”
It's True That Rachel Ray Does Make Me Hate...
Malkin: “Many readers have e-mailed about, Dunkin Donuts’ spokeswoman Rachel Ray’s clueless sporting of a jihadi chic keffiyeh in a recent DD ad campaign. I’m hoping her hate couture choice was spurred more by ignorance than ideology.” Ignorance over ideology, indeed…

This guy is asking for a list of Jews who support Obama. Really.
Okay, Now Clinton Has Just Gone Too Far
Clinton also said he didn’t know Obama very well but called his wife’s Democratic nomination rival “an immensely talented man” before adding, “I think I understand him. There are enough similarities in our childhoods and things that I think I get what he is doing.”
Well that's one way of doing it
Desperate to get attention for her cause to seat Florida and Michigan delegates, Hillary Clinton compared the plight of Zimbabweans in their recent fraudulent election to the uncounted votes of Michigan and Florida voters saying it is wrong when “people go through the motions of an election only to have them discarded and disregarded.” “We’re seeing that right now in Zimbabwe,” Clinton...
