During the Clinton administration, there was a substantial growth in conservative media, first in radio and then the internet.

Republicans coudn't get enough of it.

But that passed when republicans won the Whitehouse. Most of the newly created media lost its reason for being. With Bush's high approval ratings amongst republicans, people like Maulkin are trying to capture as much as possible of the hate Bush-hate republican conservatives readership.

I think FR needs to have a poll as to who is the kookiest, Maulkin or Farah.

Secretly, all these writers wish Hillary would be elected which would put them all back in the money.

You nailed it. I've been steaming for months at some of the 'right wing' Bush bashing. Makes perfect sense.

I don't care much for Malkin's opinions on most things, but she is on target here. This woman Myers has no business in this position.

Chertoff, I believe, is clueless as head of DHS. He's a damned attorney, for heaven's sake! Attorneys spend their lives hedging and hemming and hawing and trying to figure out how to NOT do things.

So why is he heading up the one organization devoted to DOING THINGS, and doing them fast?

Ex-military or current military should be in executive positions dealing with Homeland Security. They know how to make decisions on the fly and break glass and worry about fixing things later.
