The obligatory Keith Olbermann buh-bye post

The New Neo Posted on January 22, 2011 by neoJanuary 22, 2011

Yes, Olbermann’s leaving MSNBC, and the announcement was precipitous. And no, I’ve never watched his show, except for a couple of YouTube excerpts. I have written very few posts that even mention his name. So in honor of his going … Continue reading →

Nope, no haters on the left

The New Neo Posted on January 21, 2011 by neoJanuary 21, 2011

Commenter Teri Pittman offers some quotes from someone named Mark in something called the “Kalimba Magic Newsletter,” to the effect that it’s only on the right that violent rhetoric occurs: “I don’t remember anyone joking about killing president Bush.” Well, … Continue reading →

Hating Joe Lieberman

The New Neo Posted on January 19, 2011 by neoJanuary 19, 2011

Until now, I was unaware of the existence of LDS (Lieberman Derangement Syndrome). But Emily Bazelon certainly demonstrates it in her farewell letter to Lieberman, published in Slate. It ain’t no Valentine. Bazelon begins with the following admission: My corner … Continue reading →

“Crosshairs” in the crosshairs

The New Neo Posted on January 19, 2011 by neoJanuary 19, 2011

CNN’s John King has apologized for guest Andy Shaw’s use of the now-forbidden word “crosshairs” in describing the Chicago mayoral race. Bravo! Let’s just ban all non-literal speech, metaphors and colorful language of any kind. Let’s ban not only guns, … Continue reading →

Meet the new, kinder, gentler Andrew Sullivan

The New Neo Posted on January 18, 2011 by neoJanuary 18, 2011

I don’t like to link to Sullivan, so I’ll link instead to Ann Althouse’s post about him, which alerted me to the following passage representing his new attempt to talk about his béªte noire Sarah Palin while taking the high … Continue reading →

A Blow for civility on the left

The New Neo Posted on January 15, 2011 by neoJanuary 15, 2011

Charles Blow pushes the civility program and chides the left for blaming the right for the Tucson slayings. His column is fairly hard-hitting, especially considering that his sympathies are clearly with the left. He nevertheless calls its campaign at linkage … Continue reading →

Give Jonathan Martin the Spin of the Week award: again with the all-about-Palin

The New Neo Posted on January 13, 2011 by neoJanuary 13, 2011

In Politico, Martin makes Obama’s speech all about Palin. I kid you not. It goes like this: why couldn’t Palin have given such a fine and healing speech on the subject? Obama did. She just can’t rise about it. I … Continue reading →

We won’t have Robert Gibbs to kick around any more

The New Neo Posted on January 5, 2011 by neoJanuary 5, 2011

Except that we will; Gibbs is leaving the White House press secretary post only to become a political adviser to the president and his re-election campaign. It will still be very pleasant not to have Gibbs as Obama’s public face … Continue reading →

Ezra Klein says a stupid thing…

The New Neo Posted on January 1, 2011 by neoJanuary 1, 2011

…but it’s not the stupid thing that some on the right have accused him of saying. First, watch the video: Now, what he didn’t say. He didn’t say the Constitution has no binding power. His statement was in answer to … Continue reading →

Wikileaks and the Pentagon Papers

The New Neo Posted on December 29, 2010 by neoDecember 29, 2010

Floyd Abrams, one of the lawyers who defended the NY Times in the Pentagon Papers lawsuit, differentiates between Daniel Ellsberg’s actions in releasing those documents and Julian Assange’s in Wikileaks. Ellsberg, he says, was mindful of the damage that could … Continue reading →

Assange objects to leaks to press–when they’re about him

The New Neo Posted on December 20, 2010 by neoDecember 20, 2010

Julian Assange objects to the leak of police files related to the rape allegations against him, published in—of all places (et tu, Brute?)—the leftist Guardian. Actually, it’s his lawyers who object. I’m sure Assange himself would fully support the Guardian’s … Continue reading →

And now we have: President Clinton, doing Obama’s pressers

The New Neo Posted on December 11, 2010 by neoDecember 11, 2010

It’s the talk of the blogophere: Obama’s bizarre (there’s no other word for it) decision to leave a press conference in Bill Clinton’s more capable hands. Here are some very truncated video excepts: What are we to make of this? … Continue reading →
