In last night's Part One interview on "The Factor," Gov. Sarah Palin sat down with Bill O'Reilly and discussed two of the most memorable interviews from last year's campaign season. Palin called Charlie Gibson 's "Bush Doctrine" question on ABC one of the "gotcha techniques" of the mainstream (or "lamestream") media and she said of the Katie Couric interview...

As Sarah Palin once again finds herself in the national limelight, largely due to the publicity surrounding the release this week of her bestselling book Going Rogue: an American Life, many of us have been reviewing the events of last fall’s campaign as well as contrasting her record to the biased media coverage of that [...]

On last night’s (11/19/09) O’Reilly Factor, it was the moment we’ve all been waiting for, folks – Sarah Palin was on The Factor to tell us all about how the “gotcha,” “lamestream” media engaged in tactics and asked trip-'em-up questions (you know, like, “What do you read'”) that were “annoying” or asked her questions that “she...

“In your thirst for knowledge, be sure not to drown in all the information.” -Anthony J. D'Angelo I mentioned that I was going to start doing a piece on " Click Throughs " about all the exciting things you learn when you lose yourself in Wikipedia for hours. I know it was supposed to be up last Friday, but, as we know, I'm not perfect. I've learned a number of interesting things...

In contending America already has health care rationing, ABC's Dr. Tim Johnson, a universal coverage advocate, on Friday night's World News asserted “we have a lot of rationing, based on income, the kind of insurance you have, the way you can navigate the health system” and “a recent Harvard study estimated that 45,000 people died each year in this country because of lack of health...

The reason that the McCain campaign did NOT do The Factor is because, number one, McCain is not a fan of O'Reilly, and number two, adding Sarah Palin meant that they did not need to pander to the simpletons that watch his show. The mouth breathing knuckle draggers flocked to their ticket just for the chance to look up her skirt. I find it sort of bizarre that on the one hand Palin bitches about Katie...

Matt Taibbi has an interesting perspective on Sarah Palin and her bestseller: [Palin] is the country’s first WWE politician — a cartoon combatant who inspires stadiums full of frustrated middle American followers who will cheer for her against whichever villain they trot out, be it Newsweek, Barack Obama, Katie Couric, Steve Schmidt, the Mad Russian, Randy Orton or whoever. Her followers...

David Letterman: Sarah Palin says that she felt ambushed when Katie Couric asked her what newspaper she read. This coming from a woman who shoots wolves from a helicopter! That's not a joke, it's an x-ray of the conservative soul: Implicit double-standard view of the world? Check! Implicit sense of entitlement? Check! Casual violence? Check! Casual violence towards those helpless to fight back? Check!...

Despite Sarah Palin's success as a wife, a mother, politician, opinion leader and now author, large numbers of black people just are not feeling her.

It was all too predictable. From the moment Sarah Palin was airlifted out of the Alaska hinterlands by John McCain and plopped onto the national stage, she's been telling anyone who will listen how poorly she's been treated by the media, the Democrats, the blogosphere, etc. After she did her part in scuttling McCain's already foundering campaign, she added to her list of personal persecutors the same...

Long before the 2008 presidential campaign, I found CBS News Anchor Tracy Flick Katie Couric annoying. Like Reese Witherspoon’s character in the 1999 flick Election, Couric comes across as smug and self-righteous. It seems she believes that her prominence means she knows better than the rest of us. That’s one reason I didn’t watch [...]

Don't be surprised if McCain '08 campaign adviser Nicolle Wallace passes up future chances to vent for Rachel Maddow. Wallace did not appear on the Maddow show, agreeing instead to go on the record off-camera with her criticisms of Sarah Palin's new book, "Going Rogue: An American Life." Maddow told viewers of her MSNBC show Tuesday that John McCain held a conference call Nov. 13 and asked...
