What Do 49 Percent Approve of?

I'm a marketing guy. I'm good at it, and if need be, I can figure out how to sell shaved ice cones to Eskimos or pig manure to pig farmers. But I usually prefer devoting my talents to worthy products and services that benefit consumers. For that reason, I feel sorry for the present White House Press Secretary, humiliated by the product he has to go out and sell.

'View' Bids Sad Farewell to Possibility of President Hillary

On Oct. 13 “The View” hosts reacted to the news that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had ruled out a future run for the presidency. “Hillary Clinton told Anne Curry that she will not be making another run for president of the United States, saying she loves her job as Secretary of State and is looking forward to retirement at some point … Ya know, that kind of made me sad,” Whoopi Goldberg lamented.

Bill Clinton Misses Days of 'Vast Right Wing' Conspiracies and Eager Interns

Somewhere in our office are old bumper stickers proclaiming: “Proud Member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.” They are relics of another time, when Bill Clinton was president, his wife Hillary had shown her political acumen doing health care amateur hour and the White House needed someone to blame for the president’s, um, domestic problems.

A Complete Hillary Whitewash

Feminism has been a very disgraced brand for decades. The final nail was placed in the coffin when feminists tried so athletically to see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil with Bill Clinton's record of serial adultery, sexual harassment, and even a credible accusation of rape. But now that Hillary Clinton has finally conceded to Barack Obama, the media elites have suddenly discovered the glorious and militant cause of women.

Hillary Clinton's failure wasn't her fault. It was sexism that ruined her chances.

Hillary Cries "Sexism"

L. Brent Bozell III

At the dawn of the Democratic primary race between Barack and Hillary, news anchors like ABC's Diane Sawyer were caught up in the question: Is America more poisoned by racism or sexism? If like ABC, you think the country is still dragging its knuckles in the primordial slime, then the expected primary victory of Obama provides the answer: the country is more sexist.

Drill the Wasteland, Not the Consumers

Angry about the price of gas? It used to be you could simply blame Bill Clinton.

In December 1995, Clinton helped make sure our margin for error with oil supplies would one day be no margin at all. Clinton vetoed a budget that authorized drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Cowardly congressmen refused to overturn that veto that placed our oil security firmly in the hands of nations that hate our guts.

Voters Don't Care about Global Warming - but They Should

If you’re not too concerned about global warming, you’re probably a regular American. If you think, however, that it’s on par with World War II as a threat to the nation, you’re the managing editor of Time magazine.

ElectionWatch: Krugman Recycles Story His Own Paper Debunked; Then Apologizes

It takes a big man to admit he’s wrong, but as a columnist for one of the nation’s top newspapers, Paul Krugman shouldn’t have been wrong in the first place.

Krugman’s April 11 New York Times column reused a story about an Ohio woman named Trina Bachtel, whom liberal Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton used in a speech promoting her candidacy for president.

While Covering Lies by Hillary and Obama, Couric Smears McCain

Congratulations to CBS Evening News for running a story Wednesday night about the character of the presidential candidates, in this case trustworthiness and lying. Too bad CBS tainted the story by telling a bias-inspired lie of its own.

Couric cited or played clips of a number of famous lies by candidates:

An Upside-Down World

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 04:00:00 +0000

L. Brent Bozell III

The presidential campaign seems upside down, like a bad April Fool's joke. Suddenly, the titans of the liberal media are wondering out loud if Hillary Clinton should quit the presidential race, while Hillary is kindly greeting and grinning at every vaunted "vast right-wing conspiracy" media outlet from Dick Scaife's Pittsburgh Tribune-Review to Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel. Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a leading Hillary advocate, hailed Fox News as the fairest to Mrs. Clinton. It is truly bizarre.

Networks Spurn Clinton-Obama Spat over Character and Values

Brian Fitzpatrick

Over the Easter weekend, the Clinton and Obama campaigns went to all-out verbal war, each challenging the values and character of the rival candidate – and the media are averting their eyes in horror.

Rather than exploring charges that Clinton is dishonest or Obama is unpatriotic, the nets are wringing their hands about the damage the Democrats are doing to their presidential prospects in November.

McCain Pushes 'Cap-And-Trade' Plan to Fight Global Warming

Dan Gainor

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain is using the idea of global togetherness to promote “a cap-and-trade system” to battle climate change. He said “Americans and Europeans need to get serious about substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years or we will hand over a much-diminished world to our grandchildren.”

Populist 'Outrage' Forgets People Behind American Business

You know the presidential race is in full rhetorical swing when candidates are rallying people against a dangerous enemy of America. It’s time to play on the most basic of voters’ instincts: fear and hate.

The enemy in question has a worldwide network with agents embedded deep in the United States. It gets money from oil. And it has a name that makes the media jump to attention.

Yes, the next president must save us from … Exxon.
