MSNBC Chief Should Suspend Self, Not Scarborough, Olbermann
Tweet Share on Facebook November 23, 2010 Comment (11)Keith, I know you can’t do this so let me do it for you: Your award for “Worst Person in the World” should go to your boss, MSNBC President Phil Griffin. He has now suspended you and your colleague Joe Scarborough--both of you well-known for your biased opinions from the left and the right. Er, well known to everybody but Griffin evidently. What Rockefeller Center closet has this guy been living in?

Pelosi's Democrats Will Miss Rahm Emanuel
Tweet Share on Facebook November 9, 2010 Comment (3)The most important seat the Democrats lost this year wasn’t monitored during last week’s election.

When Rahm Emanuel decided to leave Washington for Chicago, the Democratic Party lost one of its most effective voices of sanity and strategic pragmatism.

2010 Elections Show Partisanship Works
Tweet Share on Facebook November 2, 2010 Comment (3)There’s a weird vibe in this East Coast town as a political hurricane approaches today. Nervous Democrats are boarding up storefronts and duct-taping windows. Drunken Republicans are hosting stormwatch parties and running with surfboards headlong into the wind. Everybody is predicting massive structural damage and foundational shifts. In one respect, though, nothing will change after the final votes come in, regardless of whatever surprises are in store. Partisanship will still reign supreme in this town. And I, for one, am glad of it.
