As an authentic feminist and independent conservative I am thrilled with McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin for Vice-President. I have to confess, I didn’t give him enough credit. I have come to support McCain grudgingly, only after Giuliani and then Romney. And when the VP stakes began both on my Web site and radio show Palin had been a consistent favorite of readers and listeners. As disappointment and even hostility with Washington has grown, McCain has done something so many of us were hoping for–he made a daring, maverick and ultimately the right choice for his running mate. A choice...

We finally got a glimpse last night of Michelle Obama, The Actress, and exactly how far she will go to pretend to be something she’s not in order to get into the White House. I mused yesterday that Obama’s speech could in no way eclipse the rank absurdity of Teresa Heinz-Kerry’s Ode to Herself four years ago. But I was wrong. In her widely panned speech, at least Mrs. Kerry respected everyone enough to be honest with us about herself. Michelle Obama, on the other hand, simply was not. Her comments last night in no way, in any small part,...

Ingraham Takes Award, Doesn't Explain Radio Silence *** WITH IMPORTANT UPDATED DETAILS *** Less than a week after her sudden absence from the radio airwaves, syndicated talker Laura Ingraham found herself in a truly awkward position while picking up a radio industry award Saturday evening. And today, the mystery over her program's fate has only deepened. During the 2008 New Media Seminar, a talk radio convention held in Manhattan, Ingraham received the "Judy Jarvis Memorial Award for Outstanding Contributions by a Woman to Talk Radio". Touching on her past accomplishments in talk radio, Ingraham gave a brief speech to attendees,...

All right, 630 WMAL fans! Here's the latest scoop from the DCRTV.org blog [i.e. "rag"]-- Hannity To 3WT? TNT's Talkers To MAL & 3WT? - 6/3 - When we asked a top 3WTer about whether the Bonneville talker was talking to afternoon righty talk radio icon Sean Hannity, we were met with dead silence. Not a denial. Which makes us really wonder if there's some truth to the rumors that Hannity may soon be bolting from Citadel's family of stations, including WMAL. Also, it appears that Hannity could be talking to Fox or Premiere or Mark Masters about taking over...

Tammy Bruce just announced on her radio show that she will not be supporting either Obama or Hillary in the general election. She is not supporting McCain, although she is a fan of John Bolton and appeared to be somewhat assuage by his "endorsement" of McCain. She took a jab at conservatives who voted for the democrats in 2006, saying that she was amazed how shocked conservatives were when the democrats actually did, or attempted to do, what they said they were going to do. Tammy Bruce is a nationally syndicated radio host out of KABC in LA. She is...

Al Rantel, for whom I've been filling in, has announced that he has been diagnosed with a highly treatable form of lymphoma and is now undergoing chemotherapy. I'll read his announcement letter on the air at the top of the 7pm hour. If you like, feel free to leave your messages here for Al, and the KABC website also has a place for updates and where you can leave your best wishes. Al's a great guy and considers his listenership his family. Please send your prayers and best vibes to him through this difficult time.

Does anyone know what has happened to Al Rantel, the evening guy on KABC talk radio in Los Angeles? Tammy Bruce is beginning her 3rd week of subbing for him, and I think I heard her mention last week that people were all wishing he pulls through. Is he seriously ill? I can't find out anything from any of their websites. I'd like to pray for him or send him a note, but I was wondering if anyone knows what is going on. Thank you.

On its surface it sounds reasonable, but once you get into it, like anything related to the government's attitude toward illegal immigration it has amnesty and open borders written all over it. In this instance, the Bush administration, via the Department of Homeland Insecurity (of course) is bypassing legislation and using the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to establish a 'rule' allowing illegal aliens who are supposed 'crime victims' to receive visas and special benefits. USCIS announced an interim final rule that grants "temporary immigration benefits" to crime victims who assist officials in investigating and prosecuting criminal activity. The...

The Giuliani/McCain Open Border Amnesty Pig. Yes, she has pearls, but a pig is a pig is a pig. And touts a stunningly absurd "Just tell us your name" Guest Worker Program. Where have we heard this before? No wonder he's such a fan of McCain. Glenn Beck interviews GOP Presidential Candidate Rudy Giuliani GLENN: So what's your solution? [to illegal immigration] GIULIANI: My solution is close the border to illegal immigration. GLENN: How do you do that? GIULIANI: You do that by building a fence, a physical fence and a technological fence, and the technological fence is more...

Last year during the Foley scandal, we, unfortunately, became well acquainted with one of the left’s more notorious “heroes” Mike Rogers, who, after the Foley scandal broke - with his help - moved to target Senator Larry Craig for the purposes of outing him as a “hypocrite.” As it turns out, Craig jumped into his own pail of hot water after it surfaced last week that he was caught soliciting for sex in one of the men’s restrooms at Minneapolis International Airport. Craig resigned, effective Sept. 30. Today, the Washington Post features a puff piece on Rogers, which Patterico dissects...

So, I post this morning on the Edwards scum, I'm out most of the day, and come back to this. Classic. When I made a reference to Edwards' obsession with Ann in the previous post, I did so because I couldn't imagine them going after her again when it has become painfully clear how pathetic both he and his wife have become. Well, i was wrong, which does happen, albeit rarely. Obviously, they must need money. Edwards, in fact, has cleared out his Nevada operation because they're short on cash. And now he attacks Coulter because he's void of ideas....

John McCain has suddenly changed his position on immigration! He also changed his name to "Tom Duncan Tancredo Hunter," danced the cha cha, dyed his hair purple, joined Cirque de Soleil, threatened to invade a sovereign nation (oh wait, that's Obama), endorsed setting up Murder Squads to assassinate, er, "capture or kill", people in other countries (oh wait, that's Obama, too), dressed like Marlene Dietrich, declared his love for Nancy Reagan, and then adopted all the children Angelina Jolie hasn't had time to get to. All just a bit too little, too late. Won't he be surprised to find out...

Frankly, those are the only messages you get from her latest column. And what a shame, because she also illustrates how ridiculous the 'feminist establishment' truly has become while simultaneously reinforcing the stereotype that feminists are simply bitter and jealous: "Fred Thompson, would-be presidential candidate, is 64 years old and looks it. His wife, Jeri, is two years younger than one of his daughters and looks even younger than her 40 years. This term is generally used to refer to women who are substantially younger, less wrinkled, and sometimes, but not always, more accomplished than the old model. The old...

Saw this once, and she's fabulous ...takes liberals seriously to task, and bashes multi-culturism, moral relativists, anti-war and anti-Bushites. Describes politics and the PC crowd today as it is. VERY worthwhile

Gay Totalitarians Perverse Sex Education for Kids In speaking of ‘gay identity’ politics, Tammy Bruce noted that the “Gay Gestapo” is ‘infuriated most when I declare that my sexuality is not an ‘orientation’ but my ‘preference.' Liberals are always shocked by her honest disclosures because the politically correct stance is that “we are all born this way.” “The silliness of this claim,” commented Tammy, “reinforces the main lie in the Leftist world—that none of us are responsible for our behavior, who we are, or what we become. This ‘gay from birth’ angle also makes it easier to argue for special...

There are innumerable reasons to want our border secure. We know our infrastructure is being ravaged--emergency rooms overwhelmed, hospitals closing, our highways jammed, school rooms overcrowded, tax revenue lost, it goes on and on. When illegal immigrants are discussed in the media, the picture painted is of a hard working family man or woman, the sort of person President Bush refers to when he pitches his "guest worker" program. "Hard working people who want a better way of life," is how he casts them. While many fit that bill, the dirty little secret is the fact that illegal aliens are...

I Support Katherine Harris Rep. Katherine Harris As you've probably noticed, there is a great deal of news swirling around a planned announcement by Rep Katherine Harris regarding her campaign for the Senate. The general rumor is that she will be pulling out of the race. If so, it's a loss for all of us. I met Harris a few years ago when she was running for Congress. I was impressed then and continue to believe that she is one of the few public servants who does her work for the right reasons and whose service makes this nation...

For once not involving Air America, liberal talk radio took a big hit this week, as Ed Schultz lost affiliates in three cities. In an especially significant blow, the syndicated talker was cancelled in his hometown of Fargo, North Dakota, from where his show remains based. According to Perry Simon of entertainment industry trade publication All Access, Schultz was cancelled in Fargo to make room for local programming, the same reason the Aberdeen American News has given for his South Dakota removal. And his Norfolk, Virginia outlet is switching to sports. While Aberdeen's KSDN is also dropping Rush Limbaugh for...

The New American Revolution by Jennifer Freeman "My willingness to defend myself to the death stems from my own self-esteem.

Why, oh why, has Hollywood seen its worst boxoffice receipts in 15 years? The Golden Globes nominees for 2005 Best Picture say it all. Thought to be the precursor for the Oscar, here's what Hollywood thinks is their best of the year, and consequently what they think our culture should look like: 1) A love story between two gay sheepherders (erroneously labeled 'cowboys' by the media, I suppose because they wear hats).* 2) A film portraying as noble the efforts of journalists to demonize and "take down" a US Senator whose anti-communist policies they did not like.* 3) A film...

You Can Run, But You Can't Hide After almost 30 years of hiding in Canada, we're getting alleged attempted cop killer Joseph Pannell extradicted from Toronto. This scum being able to hide in Canada for so long is one thing, the main problem is the Feds just know realized who they had after reviewed finger print records from a 1983 detention at the border. This man went on for over 20 more years living his life because law enforcement didn't have its act together. But, thank goodness, they at least got Martha Stewart. Whew. Via the CBC: ...Pannell fled to...

Hmmm Tammy Bruce subbing for Laura. Think I got a shot at starting a trend here? Tammy`s ripping ol` Ted Koppel a brand new orifice.She`s a toughie !

a casualty of president bush's spending spree Yes, you can start registering today to get that very special tax-payer funded prescription care coverage if you're on Medicare. Congratulation Seniors. This program will cost at least 1.2 trillion dollars and will effectively mortgage your children's and granchildren's future. One might ask: How will Congress balance this insane budget? Where are they going to get the money? Gee, how about from September 11th Ground Zero workers! Here's one example of the cost of Big Government politicians spending trillions of dollars they do not have--they retract legitimate tax spending, such as for health...

Tammy Bruce is a self-styled maverick. She describes herself as a "an openly gay, pro-choice, gun owning, pro-death penalty, voted-for-President Bush progressive feminist." But in her just-completed interview on Fox News, she revealed a profound ignorance of the way our constitutional system works. Speaking of Alito's vote to uphold a law requiring women to notify their husbands of their intent to have an abortion, Bruce said: "I'm disappointed that Alito thought this was an appropriate area for legislation." "Appropriate" has nothing to do with it. A strict constructionist might have thought it was a very foolish piece of legislation. But...

I found it odd a couple of weeks ago when President Bush floated the idea that we should consider using the military to enforce any quarantine needed in this country. He cited the Bird Flu epidemic, which has killed tens of millions of birds and 65 humans. The reason cited for the sudden panic was a World Health Organization report that said the flu could mutate into a form that easily spreads among humans, possibly causing a pandemic. So far, the 65 people who have died: all came in contact with sick birds. There has not been one confirmed human-to-human...

It’s always shocking when the Left unmasks itself—it’s usually very brief but when it happens not only can’t you turn away, it’s actually important that you don’t. While it would seem impossible, the Left has found a new low, this time courtesy of both the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. On the same day, both newspapers published bizarre attacks on the most basic values of personal appearance and physical health of the president and those he supports.

I didn't know she was gay. I figured we agreed about 90% of time, but I didn't figure we would probably agree about taste in women too.

I may not always agree with the woman, but I certainly respect her.

As a Democrat and a pro-choice feminist, it’s time for me to explain why I support the president, and why other thoughtful Democrats should join me in doing so. I can’t tell you how many e-mails I’ve received from other Democrats either condemning me for not toeing the line, while others write who are genuinely curious, after all the hate-mongering and demonizing of Republicans and the president specifically, they hope I can ease their fears about what their inclination to vote for the president means about them. The simple answer? It means you’re a confident liberal, a thoughtful person who...

<p>Usually, nothing really new emerges from these ritualistic duals, but during the last Bush/Kerry debate, we got a real-time rare glimpse at what lies behind John Kerry’s Potemkin façade. These are the moments that make a debate truly worthwhile, as we watch hoping to see the man behind the talking points, prepared statements and usual spin. When John Kerry decided to speak for Mary Cheney, the curtain parted and we realized that Kerry does indeed have a very ugly portrait in his attic.</p>

Tammy Bruce just mentioned on her radio show that Kerry claimed he received a messages from Christopher Reeves on his cell phone last Saturday (October 9) after the debate on Friday night. As we know, Christopher Reeves passed away on Sunday. The only problem is that Reeves "fell into a coma on Thursday after going into cardiac arrest at his New York home." WHOTV.com, Des Moines

Tammy Bruce said today on the Fox News Channel that there's a quote in a small circulation newsletter that will soon be out and that she'll be using it.

Today, the system worked. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) upheld their “R” rating for Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11,” a crass smear of this nation in general and President Bush specifically. The movie is scheduled for release in New York on Wednesday and nationwide on Friday.  MPAA ratings are determined by a panel of parents, who found obscene language, piles of dead bodies, injured children and a beheading worthy of an “R” rating in “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Frankly, it sounds to me like it deserves an X. An R at least means no one under 17 years of age will be...

There are events in life which remind one of what’s truly important. Last week, for example, the subject for this column was going to be the depraved absurdity of O.J. Simpson attempting to explain himself to the media. Again. On this ten-year anniversary of the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, Simpson was making the interview rounds as the car wreck of the week. Then President Reagan died. Once again, in a world which seems to be swamped in the ugly and hopeless (think Michael Moore and O.J, Simpson), Reagan emerges as a reminder of the class, style, compassion...

I was struck by how shocked members of the senate were upon viewing additional pictures of the undisciplined, unprincipled freaks masquerading as members of our military at Abu Graib prison. Keep in mind, according to reports from the senators themselves, most of the additional pictures were of our soldiers having sex with each other — male soldiers having sex with female soldiers, that is. Senators such as Feinstein and Campbell expressed absolute shock at the pictures they saw. I’m shocked at how out-of-touch our senators seem to be when it comes to the nature of what happened at Abu Graib....
