Conservative Donnybrook

Heh. I knew when I saw this story about Clinton crony Sidney Blumenthal getting a DWI that it would be gleefully posted on Drudge, and so it is.

What, you don’t remember the Blumenthal-Drudge incident? Back in 1997 (pre-Lewinsky) Drudge broke the story that Blumenthal beat his wife, only it wasn’t true. Blumenthal then proceeded to unsuccessfully sue Drudge for libel. The whole sordid story is here.

Lawrence O’Donnell had a meltdown on the McLaughlin Group regarding Mormonism. O’Donnell, in commenting on Romney recent speech on religion, called all Mormons racists and extended this charge to Mitt Romney. And, if you hang in there to the very end of the clip, he hurls out our personal favorite around here, he calls all Mormons anti-American.

Amazingly, in the process, he momentarily leaves Pat Buchanan speechless, which is one heck of an accomplishment.

Well, it looks like Rupert Murdoch has decreed that the Wall Street Journal’s online content is going to be free, with an advertiser-supported model replacing the current subscription-based setup. This will turn out to be even better news if Rupert doesn’t end up destroying the paper.

First, Times Select, now the WSJ. The winds of freedom blow among the mainstream media!

Incidentally, I’m wondering if there’s some grand synergy in store now that Murdoch owns both MySpace and the WSJ. Like, perhaps WSJ.com users will be allowed to customize the latest bomb-Iran editorial with the latest Ludacris single and a Hello Kitty background. Plus you could “friend” Daniel Henninger. Exciting times!

In the immortal words of Dick in Young Guns, I’m darin’ ya, Billy.

Rasmussen has apparently been conducting some polling that I had not seen (which says something about me, I guess). 10% lead. Over a no-name recognition “kook.” Wait ’til some of his $15.5 million gets spent. Wait ’til the media get egg on their face for overlooking a “nobody,” like they did when the Republican nominee picked a junior senator from Indiana to be his running mate in 1988. Any publicity is good publicity, folks.

All during this week, the online version of the Daily Telegraph will be publishing its list of the Top 100 Conservatives and Top 100 Liberals. So far, they have published 61-100. If Justice Anthony Kennedy isn’t on both lists, it will be a scandal.

Here’s something that makes you look like a piker. Enjoy. How’s civilian life, by the way?
