The American Spectator

Salt Lake Tribune

Someone sweating away under the pen name Paul Rolly serves up still more preposterosities about the Virgin President for the Liberals’ believing minds:

Brock, who was part of that cabal before he bolted from the group and became a liberal commentator and media critic, had been a writer for the right-wing American Spectator and authored some of the most inflammatory articles of the Clinton era. One included claims of Clinton promiscuity from Arkansas Highway Patrol troopers who Brock says were paid by the anti-Clinton group and whose stories, he now says, were largely made up.

They called it the Arkansas Project, which was funded by right-wing billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife through The American Spectator, which was spending $5,000 in fees and tips [!] to find anti-Clinton stories from when he was governor of Arkansas.

According to Brock, it was the Arkansas Project that helped persuade Paula Jones to sue Clinton for sexual harassment. And it was the Arkansas Project that used Jones’ case to “probe Clinton’s consensual sex life through the deposition process, and then to question Clinton under oath about it. In other words, the Jones case had become a vehicle to create a crime where one may not have otherwise existed.”

Brock further wrote that when investigators unearthed what they considered a juicy tidbit to embarrass Clinton or other Democrats, they would devise a multi-media strategy, where often they would have it break in Matt Drudge’s on-line blog, “The Drudge Report,” then reported more extensively in The American Spectator and turn it over to Limbaugh, who would talk about it continuously, citing as “legitimate” sources the Spectator and the Drudge report.

The Nation

Delusional ramblings from Michael Moore on the now defunct or under-arrest Occupy movement:

Occupy Wall Street. What other political movement in modern times has won the sympathy and/or support of the majority of the American public—in less than two months? How did this happen? I think it was a revolt that has been percolating across the country since Reagan fired the first air traffic controller. Then, on September 17, 2011, a group of (mostly) young adults decided to take direct action. And this action struck a raw nerve, sending a shock wave throughout the United States, because what these kids were doing was what tens of millions of people wished they could do. The people who have lost their jobs, their homes, their “American dream”—they cathartically cheered on this ragtag bunch who got right in the face of Wall Street and said, “We’re not leaving until you give us our country back!”

The Daily Beast

Young David Frum(p) displays his amazing penchant for obscure and anfractuous facts pursuant to another of his assaults on the pulchritudinous Sarah Palin:

As financial markets collapsed in October, and the U.S. economy plunged into the steepest decline since 1930, the mood of the American electorate darkened. Palin’s rallies seethed with anger against Barack Obama, but also against all that Obama seemed to symbolize.

The first black president was also the first since Herbert Hoover with a foreign-born parent; the first since Woodrow Wilson to work as a college professor before entering politics; and the first since Grover Cleveland to have his principal home in a big Northern city.
