Your one stop pundit shop.
E.J. Dionne has bad news for the wingnuttia:
We now know that the reaction of right-wing Catholics to Notre Dame's invitation to President Obama falls into the category of "more Catholic than the pope."
To the dismay of many conservatives, the Vatican's own newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, has offered what one antiabortion Catholic blog called "a surprisingly positive assessment of the new president's approach to life issues" -- so positive, in fact, that a spokesman for the National Right to Life Committee was moved to criticize Pope Benedict XVI's daily.
George Will is still an idiot.
David Broder, apparently trying to eulogize Jack Kemp, insults him with a comparison to Eric Cantor and his merry band of pizza pals.
Gail Collins never fails to amuse:
If you have ever watched Levi Johnston on TV for two minutes you will appreciate how terrifying it is when he has the most reasonable analysis of a social issue. [...]
Bristol appeared Wednesday at Event to Prevent ... But where were her parents? Her mom ought to know by now that the only way to protect your family from becoming tabloid fodder is to make it clear to the media that the kids are absolutely, totally off limits. You can’t put them on network TV one day and then complain the next when a reporter asks whether the baby’s other grandmother is still facing drug charges. [...]
But when a teenager goes out on this kind of mission, you have to wonder where her parents’ heads were. What does this say about Sarah Palin’s judgment?
Although we’ve sort of answered that question before.
Karl Rove gives his take on the upcoming fight against the as yet unnamed Supreme Court nominee. And he quotes Antonin Scalia to make the case against a liberal judge. Seriously.
Daniel Henninger asks if the GOP should forget Reagan. Short answer: no.
Joan Vennochi believes Sarah Palin is attacked from all sides because she's a woman. Of course bits like this make even harder to take this column seriously:
Think about the picture-perfect Obama family ...
Palin's family portrait is much more complicated and gritty. In some ways, it is more reflective of the reality of American family life.
Ummmmm ... no, it's not.
Two unnamed senators explain why photographs of prisoner abuse under the Bush administration should not be released. The best part is where they say that showing pictures of abuse won't show if such abuse wasn't "aberrational." Apparently they haven't been paying attention.
