With the continuing pressure of an impeachment inquiry underway and the never ending flow of damning and controversial news, President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday with a racist and anti-Semitic rant.
In one tweet, Trump singled out members of Congress Jerry Nadler (D-ny) and Adam Schiff (D-ca), who are both Jewish, and “Aoc Plus 3”, referring to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-ny) and three other congresswomen who are all women of color, calling them “savages.”
“Can you imagine if these Do Nothing Democrat Savages, people like Nadler, Schiff, Aoc Plus 3, and many more,...

Fittingly enough, it was hot as blazes in Kentucky when Mitch McConnell slunk back home for Congress’ annual summer recess. One week earlier, Robert Mueller had testified that Russia was meddling in the 2020 U.S. elections. McConnell, the Senate majority leader, responded by shooting down Democrats’ efforts to bring two election-security bills to a vote — bills that McConnell, in his familiar fashion, had previously sentenced to quiet deaths after they passed the House. In the hailstorm of opprobrium that followed, McConnell had...

Bloomberg’s Jonathan Bernstein just published a new piece called, “Is Bernie Finished?” Citing Iowa poll numbers that show poor Sanders “essentially in a three person race for second” (he actually is in second, but whatever), its premise is that Bernie now rests “at the fringes of plausibility.” Worse, he could “fail to reach the delegate threshold” in Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina.
Citing poll wizard Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight, Bernstein paints a dire picture:
“While Sanders is faring somewhat better nationally, that’s mainly because almost all the other candidates remain unknown to voters.

A Washington Post columnist is making good on his promise to literally "eat his words" if Donald Trump won the Gop nomination for president. On Thursday, writer Dana Milbank will feast on all 18 inches of his October column that inaccurately predicted Trump's downfall. But Milbank's bold feat begs the question: Is it really safe to eat a newspaper? It turns out eating newsprint is fine - in moderation, that is. An investigation launched by Statnews.com, a news website covering health and life-sciences, has revealed that while there are no nutritional benefits to be gained from eating newspaper, it's "not particularly dangerous either.

The latest Funny or Die clip has Gina Gershon reprising her twisted take on Sarah Palin!
Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote a controversial column on Jan. 21 declaring February to be a “Palin-free month,” pledging and urging other writers not to write about Sarah Palin or her famous brood for the whole month. The movement hasn’t picked up too much steam, but a new Funny or Die video examines what would happen to Sarah if she really was ignored by the media.
Needless to say, Gina Gershon plays Sarah broad, starting a descent into insanity through chain-smoking and progressing to admit indiscretions with Levi Johnston — and things only get wilder from there in this hilarious clip!

On CNN's Reliable Sources, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank defended a recent column where he admitted even if there is no evidence that Sarah Palin or Glenn Beck inspired Jared Loughner to shoot Congresswoman Giffords, criticism of Palin and Beck is still deserved because "both are finally being held to account for recklessly playing with violent images in a way that is bound to incite the unstable."...

Roger Ailes slams Jon Stewart as a conservative-basher, explains why he rode to Juan Williams' rescue-and sees NPR as taxpayer-funded propaganda. Part II of Howard Kurtz's interview.
Update: On Thursday, Ailes apologized to the Anti-Defamation League (Adl) for describing NPR brass as "Nazis." He wrote: "I was of course ad-libbing and should not have chosen that word but I was angry at the time because of NPR's willingness to censor Juan Williams for not being liberal enough... My now considered opinion 'nasty, inflexible bigot' would have worked better." Abraham H. Foxman, Adl's national director and a Holocaust survivor, responded: "I welcome Roger Ailes apology, which is as sincere as it is heartfelt. Nazi comparisons of this nature are clearly inappropriate and offensive. While I wish Roger had never invoked that terminology, I appreciate his efforts to immediately reach out and to retract his words before they did any further harm.

Bill O'Reilly took Dana Milbank's bait. After Milbank accused Fox News' election coverage of overt bias in his Washington Post column, O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly debunked his claims, O'Reilly going as far as to make a joke about Milbank being beheaded under sharia law, and predicted Milbank would take it literally. He did, and it earned him the full first segment of tonight's Factor.

While some have (facetiously?) congratulated them for the actual results, Fox News had a really good election night. Not only were their ratings dominant, but they also earned significant praise from media critics who saw their analysis as more balanced than others. But not everyone saw it that way, namely Dana Milbank, who was harshly critical of what he saw as Fox News' bias coverage. This predictably raised the ire of Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly, who pushed back on last night's Factor.

Bernie Goldberg had a lot more on his plate tonight for his regular "Weekdays with Bernie" segment on the O'Reilly Factor with the variety and scope of mainstream media election coverage, but he limited his analysis to two major targets: Dana Milbank and the Washington Post, and the MSNBC Election Day crew-- or, as Goldberg put it, "five liberal commentators being snarky [and] giggling like schoolgirls."...

WaPo's Dana Milbank is out this week with a new book on Glenn Beck. An excerpt from it, which has been running on the Huffington Post today, has been making some waves. In it Milbank asserts that much of the time Beck is speaking in coded language to the Mormon population in America. The evidence is hanging by a thread, as it were.

President Obama took questions from reporters today in response to unfolding allegations that the season premiere of HBO's Entourage was lackluster. "Across our country, Americans are wrestling with the housing crisis," the President explained to a visibly rankled Dana Milbank of the Washington Post. "And as we can all see, living in a huge mansion with Vincent Chase can prolong a different kind of recession--a recession of maturity. Many Americans can learn from E's struggle to decide if he should get his own fat-ass pad, and maintain his independent sovereignty from Turtle and Drama. "I would suggest that detractors be more worried about E's vulnerability to Sloan," the President observed. In the hastily-arranged press conference, the President sought to allay concerns of shark-jumping about his favorite show, re-kindled by the ease with which Vincent Chase ended up starring in...
