Whose Wealth?

There were plenty of great quotes from my man, Fred Thompson, at today’s Presidential debate but this one won’t get as much notice:

Jon Henke liveblogged the debate and Hot […]

Fred Thompson Enters the Debate Fray

I’m totally biased, but I think Fred Thompson will do fine in this afternoon’s Presidential debate, his first. I wrote up a post on the Fred File:
Despite whatever the pundits say, Fred will be Fred. He will talk about staying true to conservative Republican principles. Deal Hudson gets it right, “I have the sense that […]

Fred on the Fairness Doctrine

How about this for chilling free speech?
Rep. Henry Waxman has asked his investigative staff to begin compiling reports on Limbaugh, and fellow radio hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin based on transcripts from their shows, and to call in Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin to discuss the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”
“Limbaugh isn’t the only one […]

Spinning Out of Control

CBS Television Distribution is working on a spin-off of Doctor Phil:
“The Doctors,” a spinoff of syndicated hit “Dr. Phil,” is in active development by CBS Television Distribution.
The new syndie show will feature an ensemble of medical experts in various specialties in a round-table discussion of daily topics, a la “The View.”
It’s likely that the doctors […]

Babbin: Take on Chris Matthews

Jed Babbin echoes Michelle Malkin’s note that Republican Presidential candidates should challenge Chris Matthews instead of their on-stage opponents:

The most important part of the answer — and not just for tomorrow — is for the candidates to take on the reporters as much as they take on each other. It’d be great fun, and it […]

Michelle, the Debate is on CNBC

Michelle Malkin wants the GOP to unload on Chris Matthews in Tuesday’s Presidential debate. She writes,
The candidates will be appearing on nutroots cable TV’s MSNBC for a debate in Dearborn, Michigan. Why they are bothering to show up on a network with basement viewership is beyond me. Even more puzzling: Why they would bother to […]

CPAC May Come Back to Haunt Romney

On Ann Coulter dreaming of an America where women don’t vote Garance Franke-Ruta writes,
I would like to see that quote, “If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democratic president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, a personal fantasy of mine,” as the header on GOTV mailers along […]
