As we’ve reported, over the last few days Media Matters has been publishing leaked behind-the-scenes videos of Tucker Carlson talking with his “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show staff. The conventional wisdom is that someone at Fox is behind the leaks and that they’re part of a campaign by Fox to smear Carlson due to the backlash the network is receiving after it unceremoniously dumped the most popular talk show host in the country.Fox News is trying to destroy Tucker (it’s drip drip drip every day with the hits). Truly disgusting behavior, most likely by their chief PR hack Irena Briganti but...

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the Republican Party lived in a “really slimy little dark corner where all they want to do is lie.” Discussing the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) during the 2008 presidential campaign, McCaskill said, “It wasn’t that long ago when we had a Republican candidate for president, where there was a town hall, and a woman said, well, you know Barack Obama is a Muslim. And that Republican candidate right there in real time said, ‘No, ma’am, no. That’s not correct. No. He and I may not agree on things, but...

@MittRomney Ann and I extend our congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. We know both of them as people of good will and admirable character. We pray that God may bless them in the days and years ahead.

Viewers slammed NBC’s New Years Eve coverage as a train-wreck and embarrassment for America. NBC’s New Years Eve show didn’t have a countdown clock nor did they show the ball drop — a tradition many Americans enjoy watching. Rather, Chrissy Teigen, who was one of the three hosts for NBC’s NYE coverage discussed ‘vaginal steaming,’ — and NBC even showed a picture of it! GROSS! Viewers were disgusted and disappointed — especially because children were watching. Chrissy Teigen’s co-host Leslie Jones then hit her in the eye with her umbrella at midnight. What a train-wreck!

Students all over Penn State University agree on this much about Hillary Clinton: "She’s slimy," said Anay Pope. And Pope, 25, is a Clinton supporter. For the moment. Clinton’s poll numbers are sagging, and the biggest reason is that she’s plunging among young voters. A Quinnipiac University poll this month found that in a four-way race, Clinton is up 5 points nationally with 18- to 34-year-old voters, down from a 24-point lead just a month before. Just days ahead of the first debate Monday and less than two months before voting ends, she faces two challenges: Many young voters are...

Eric Holder was eaten by tourists today in France as they had mistaken him for snails. "The restaurant owner told us to look for something slimy, and there's nothing slimier than Eric Holder", said tourist Nils Gagongen. "We thought he was kind of tall for a snail, but there was no mistaking the slimy trail he left behind him." President Obama expressed regret at the loss of his Attorney General. "Eric was a fine toady and evidently quite tasty" remarked Obama.

Wendy Davis is almost certainly not going to be the next governor of Texas. Apparently, though, she's willing to try just about anything to alter that reality. It goes on to attack wheelchair-bound state Attorney General Greg Abbott (R) for hypocrisy because, after suing and winning a large reward for the accident that caused his partial paralysis, he has opposed similar litigation as the state's top cop.

Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist recently issued an apology for backing the state's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in 2008. Crist said in a recent interview with the Orlando-based LGBT publication Watermark Online that he regrets backing Florida's constitutional Amendment 2, which was approved by nearly 62 percent of voters in 2008 and defines marriage as being exclusively for one man and one woman. "I'm sorry I did that. It was a mistake. I was wrong. Please forgive me," Crist told the publication. "I made a mistake. I'm not perfect … That's the journey I'm on … and I'm still...

They're just all slimy and gross. I like most other veggies, but Brussells sprouts are disgusting.

The president is scheduled to give the State of the Union address at 9 PM eastern.

Since the mid-1980s, there’s been almost no attention paid to John McCain’s long-ago association with a controversial group implicated in a secretive plot to supply arms to Nicaraguan militia groups during the Iran-Contra affair. But now, with the Republican presidential candidate stepping up his negative blitz against Democratic opponent Barack Obama, some Democrats are hoping that the group – the U.S. Council for World Freedom, and its founder, John Singlaub – will become for McCain what Bill Ayers has become for Obama: a fleeting past association used as ammunition for political broadsides. Over past few days, a handful of Obama allies...

Back in July, Friends of Artorius, part of my blog, filed charges with the SEC regarding Schumer's leak and subsequent run on IndyMac. It is our belief that Schumer's Wall Street contributors were short on IndyMac and benefitted handsomely. Today, I turn on FR and the TV to find the Banking Comm meeting today. And Chuck Schumer is on there. Outraged, I called the SEC number of the investigator demanding an explanation. I was blown off by being told the charges were "ambiguous". Now Schmuckie is going to ask me for 700 Billion dollars, when we cant even pay attention!

It was the journalistic equivalent of a drive-by shooting. The targets of Washington Post reporters Jonathan Finer and Doug Struck were two of journalism's favorites: Web loggers and the U.S. military. "Bloggers, Money, Now Weapons in Information War," read the headline over their story, which appeared last Monday. "U.S. Recruits Advocates to the Front, Pays Iraqi TV Stations for Coverage," the subhed said. "Retired soldier Bill Roggio was a computer technician living in New Jersey less than two months ago when a Marine officer half a world away made him an offer he couldn't refuse," the story began. The insinuation...

Imagine my surprise when I clicked on the Drudge article "FU long overdue" which links to a Washington Post article. Right in the middle of the article pops up an ad crowing out:Time for a change. Make One. Donate to John Kerry – Give $50 now So now articles themselves - as biased as they are - aren't even enough. Planted INSIDE the attack on Preidsent Bush is an ad where you can DONATE MONEY to the opposition candidate! It is OUTRAGEOUS!

Susan Lynn Taylor was in her early 20s, right out of North Central College in Naperville, when she did something that many young women seem to have done over the years: She wrote a letter to former Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Greene, complimenting him on a column. This was about 1983. "I lived out in the Hinsdale area and worked downtown, in a hospital,'' Taylor told me. "Bob wrote a column about a woman who had breast implants--they were becoming popular. I had had the same surgery. So I wrote him and said, 'Gee, I really liked your column, it...
