My column today is a rejoinder to Maureen Dowd's plaintive wail about Republican Mean Girls in the NY Times on Sunday. I'll take a GOP mama grizzly who wants government to leave you alone over a Democrat bully bureaucrat any day. As yesterday's failed attacks on Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, and Sharron Angle showed, the...
Read MoreUmmmmmm.
Scroll for updates... Sarah Palin wisely warned Tea Party activists to keep working hard right up until Election Day -- and not to "party like it's 1773" yet. Intellectually superior leftists from Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas to PBS "moderator"/Obama cheerleader Gwen Ifill took to Twitter to snicker about Palin's historical illiteracy. But it's the...
Read MoreBidenrrhea of the mouth.
On the campaign trail with sinking Ohio Democrat Gov. Ted Strickland today, VP Joe Biden claimed he was "second" in the line for succession to the presidency. CBS veteran political reporter Mark Knoller noted the flub on Twitter. But it somehow didn't make any of the other news coverage of his appearances. Bidenrrhea of the...

Five items for your viewing and reading pleasure: * Jeri Thompson smacks GOP poobahs and pooh-pooh-ers upside the head: While they may not be intending to be sexist, the message, the attitude and whining sure make...
Read MoreGot tea?
Entrenched GOP incumbent Bob Bennett of Utah -- ousted in May by a grass-roots revolt against big government Republicanism -- has company. Voters have retired liberal GOP incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. She is reportedly conceding tonight to upstart Joe Miller. It's a big win for the Tea Party -- and Sarah Palin. Stacy...
Read MoreSarah Palin is out with a very savvy video capturing the spirit of the grass-roots conservative women's movement -- a phenomenon I've traced here since the mom-bloggers and young women bloggers and other Founding Sisters of the Tea Party movement first came onto the scene. Watch: Yes, there's always a risk in overreaching and slipping...
Read MoreYou've no doubt read about the Palin family's snoopy new neighbor, author Joe McGinniss, who has rented a house 15 feet from the Palins' backyard to conduct binocular-aided research for his Random House book. I'll share more thoughts later on the media ethics issues and media double standards involved. For his part, Todd Palin wasted...

Well, well. It looks like the libs are coming down with a case of Strong Conservative Woman Envy. Take a look at this: What makes the piece extra-amusing: The female writer, Taylor Marsh, posted her lament on the blog of political cross-dressing Gingrichite-turned-liberal Arianna Huffington. No comment from Marsh on Arianna's wattage.
Scroll for updates...video added below... As you know, the Sage of 1600 Pennsylvania took a snippy shot at Sarah Palin yesterday over his nuclear policy: "I really have no response," he told ABC News. "Because last I checked, Sarah Palin's not much of an expert on nuclear issues." Someone get him a skin thickener, stat....

Talk to the hand. I was offline most of the weekend with family, so surfed over to Memeorandum tonight to catch up on the latest blog buzz. What have the left-wing blogs been raging about? The ink on Sarah Palin's hand. The wall-to-wall coverage leads with "exclusive" investigative reports from a HuffPo "independent journalist and...

The question is: What are you doing to stop him from cementing his Big Government Republican legacy? *** Conservatives: Beware of McCain Regression Syndrome by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2010 Pay attention: In the afterglow of the Massachusetts Miracle, there are flickers of peril...
Read MoreWhat is it with the Left’s obsession over conservative women and swimsuits?
What is it with the Left's obsession over conservative women and swimsuits? The trash bloggers of the far Left are eagerly digging up "dirt" on the wife and daughters of the GOP Sen.-elect from Massachusetts. Call it the Palinization of the Browns. The Huffington Post just sent out a blast e-mail advertising a music video...
Read MoreWe had frigid weather and several inches of Goreflakes on the ground here in Colorado Springs, but Sarah Palin lit up the town for a Borders signing earlier this evening that drew yet another massive crowd on her nationwide "Going Rogue" book tour. My family and I had the great honor and pleasure of meeting...
Read MoreLast October, NYTimes columnist trembled in fear at the prospect of massive waves of violence by conservatives. He accused McCain-Palin supporters of being "gripped by insane rage." His fellow fear-mongerer Frank Rich added that the Right was guilty of “Weimar-like rage” and the “violent escalation of rhetoric.” Since then, of course, the Left has been...
Read MoreZing! Sarah Palin at the Gridiron Dinner in D.C., skewering the saboteurs in the McCain camp with Ginsu wit: More here and here. *** Meanwhile, in Iowa:
Ah, the wit and wisdom of Joy Behar. She has called homeschooled children "demented." She has called me a "selfish bitch." She has called Sarah Palin "dumb" and "not coherent." Last week, the genius View co-host seriously suggested that "Black Friday" is RAAAACIST. It was left to economics professor Whoopi Goldberg to explain what "in...
Read MorePalin-bashers of pallor.
MSNBC host Chris Matthews, MSNBC reporter Norah O'Donnell, and MSNBC guest Joan Walsh shamelessly played the race card against Sarah Palin and her book-buying audience last week. In Michigan, O'Donnell smugly noted that Palin's fans were "largely white -- almost no minorities in this crowd." Matthews parroted the line, assailing the "white crowd." Walsh likened...

Watch him completely unravel here and here. Jules Crittenden provides a road map...
Read More"Extreme" in a skirt.
Female Conservative Derangement Syndrome has spread across the pond. The Observer of London spotlights the "extreme" women in American politics that give them the willies. Boo! She is a striking brunette with a decidedly outspoken attitude. She lambasts President Barack Obama as a socialist and has become the darling of America's right-wing activists who flock...
Read MoreThe AP reports that Sarah Palin's memoir will be published on Nov. 17. The title is "Going Rogue" -- an allusion to the in-fighting between Team Sarah and the McCainiancs that broke out in the last weeks of the campaign. Should be quite a compelling read.
Sarah Palin's warning about the effects of Obamacare on the elderly and infirm have been met with derision and ridicule. William Jacobson has a good round-up. Meanwhile, the effects of socialized medicine in Britain -- engineered by government-run cost-cutting panels on which Obamacare would be modeled -- continue to wreak havoc on the elderly and...

Scroll down for update... With protests planned and growing anger over his vulgar abuse of the Palin family, David "The Perv" Letterman attempts a belated, half-assed apology tonight on his increasingly unfunny show via TV Week: Notice that he's apologizing for the execution of the joke.
