Douglas Shulman, former head of IRS, hearts Obama
They’re got to stop meeting like this: Publicly released records show that embattled former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman visited the White House at least 157 times during the Obama administration, more recorded visits than even the most trusted members of … Continue reading →
You gotta feel a teeny bit sorry for Holder and Obama
Yes, I’m being sarcastic. But still—the boycott by at least half the press of Holder’s attempts at off-the-record damage control must have come as a huge shock to Holder/Obama (Holdama?), and rightly so. After all, for well over five years … Continue reading →
Brad Woodhouse, class act
Brad Woodhouse is the Democratic National Committee’s communications director. As such, you’d think he’d understand communications. And so we can assume that when he says something, he means to say it–such as, for example, this message: POTUS asked AG to … Continue reading →
Mitch McConnell: milquetoast no more—at least in this ad

For years I’ve called Eric Holder Obama’s proxy and his alter ego, with a function so important that it would require that Holder do something almost unimaginably awful for Obama to ever abandon him. Now, courtesy of Jonathan Turley in … Continue reading →
The proposed press shield law
From a Chicago Tribune editorial: But Obama’s endorsement is no reason to celebrate. It’s the equivalent of a guy sending roses to his girlfriend after he stole tulips from her garden. I beg to differ. Actually, it’s the equivalent of … Continue reading →
Is this a bully?
What do you think about this?: On Wednesday, a Murry, Utah-based woman named Ally Olsen, 41, discovered that her fiancé’s 10-year-old daughter, Kaylee, was bullying a classmate. Kaylee’s teacher had emailed Olsen, explaining that the girl had been teasing a … Continue reading →
Well, I guess…
…Holder’s DOJ won’t be snooping into the phone records of good-little-progressive-soldier Daniel Klaidman of The Daily Beast. [ADDENDUM: Ace points out that the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza has uncovered evidence that Holder’s DOJ judge-shopped in order to get someone who … Continue reading →
