Note: the heat wave has gotten to me. Please read this one with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
I was wondering why Mark Halperin was missing from the Morning Joe set today. His “Game Change” co-author John Heilemann was there, and the two are normally a matched set. Then the show rolled a segment on the [...]

Chris Licht didn’t seem merely OK on Morning Joe today. The show’s executive producer was looking absolutely mah-ve-lous. Amazing, considering that little more than a month ago Licht suffered the rupture of a brain aneurysm, leading to intracranial bleeding.
Fortunately, with Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough apparently acting as fierce advocates for their stricken [...]

Faced with his administration’s failure to head off the Christmas Day and Times Square bombers, or to stop the Fort Hood shooter before his murderous rampage, Pres. Obama sent his chief counter-terrorism adviser out this morning with apparent instructions to resort to that last refuge of scoundrels: patriotism.
When on today’s Fox News Sunday host Chris [...]

Some cross-network love for Jake Tapper on Morning Joe today, as MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski expressed respect for ABC’s Jake Tapper, and disappointment that ABC News had not chosen him as permanent host of its Sunday talk show, This Week. Instead of elevating its home-grown talent, ABC has brought in Christiane Amanpour, late [...]

Forget “throws like a girl.” Try “throws worse than an octogenarian” . . .
How weak was Pres. Obama’s first pitch on Opening Day this week? Well, have a look at officially-ancient John Paul Stevens throwing out a first pitch, and compare and contrast with PBO’s puny effort [after the jump].
MSNBC ran the clip of [...]

Bob Schieffer predicts that Newt Gingrich will make a run for the presidency and Sara Palin won’t.
Appearing on The Early Show today, Schieffer saw Palin’s resignation as Alaska governor as too big of a political obstacle in the primaries. Here’s how the Face The Nation host imagined a GOP primary opponent putting it to Palin [...]
There I was this morning, watching a Today segment about tougher new airport screening procedures. A clip rolled of Homeland Security honcho Janet Napolitano talking about the program when, suddenly I said to myself: wait a second! Who’s that standing behind Napolitano?
Darned if it wasn’t . . . Patrick Kennedy! You remember good old Rep. [...]

Ron Christie has to be among the most loyal Republicans around. The former aide to Dick Cheney and George Allen is a regular on Ed Schultz’s MSNBC show, where he ardently defends GOP positions, typically in the face of a liberal double-team.
So when Christie comes this close to calling on RNC Chairman Michael Steele [...]

You might think you’re a citizen with certain unalienable rights. But in the eyes of Pres. Obama, you’re no better than an acid raindrop . . .
On today’s Good Morning America, constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley–no raging conservative he–raised doubts as to the constitutionality of the way ObamaCare negates state law and forces every American [...]

Life, liberty and the . . . “right” to health care?
Chris Dodd has proclaimed that “every American” has the “right” to health care. He said so on tonight’s Countdown, while reminiscing about Ted Kennedy.
If health care is a “right,” what about food, shelter and clothing? Are they all legally enforceable rights? Where do these “rights” [...]
