political commentators

Love him or hate him, he was a driving force in talk radio for decades. https://www.foxnews.com/media/rush-limbaugh-dead-talk-radio-conservative-icon Mods, feel free to relocate this thread if this isn't the place for it, but given his influence on conservative/republican thought, I...

I'm not sure if anyone else has caught this interview, but it was actually really good. I thought Trevor Noah got in a few cheap shots, but Tomi was kind enough to set them up for him. I really like Trevor Noah, but I know he hasn't been as well received as Jon was back in the day. I personally...

Only posting the first paragraph http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/08/mass-lesbian-farm-infiltration-is-obamas-best-scheme-yet.html Barack Obama is nearing the finish line of a presidency filled with accomplishments ranging from death panels to FEMA camps to the importation of Sharia...

This is kind of a remarkable exchange. Count all of the Rule 0, Rule 11, and Rule 12 breaches in there. Remember, my friends, Charles Blow is a columnist for the New York Times. Is he really any better than Sean Hannity on Fox News? I've posted a little bit of the transcript for those who...

George Will is now an independent, says the best course for conservatives is to make sure Trump loses. Didn't say how to do that. http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/25/politics/george-will-donald-trump-leaving-republican-party-election/index.html

Amusing and biting. Highlights: And a question for the audience: "Leaving aside that everything that comes out of his mouth is at best meretricious claptrap that would shame even Newt Gingrich". Without looking, which candidate is being so described?

Maybe "supporter" is too strong a word, but Frum seems to have a favorable view of him: Why the GOP Just Can't Quit Donald Trump Incidentally, the very first sentence of the article made me wonder how do logger and Elf Grinder feel about Trump's support of single-payer (i.e. nationalized)...

The news is not good. My hero, Molly Ivins, the fearless, hilarious, barb-wire liberal is back in the hospital with a recurrance of cancer, and her brother says it is back with a vengeance. I've been reading her columns for at least thirty years now and she has molded my opinion like no other...

I got into listening to Glenn Beck during the sixth months that I was laid off. He used to crack me up. Funny guy. Unfortunately, his show airs from 8am to 11am, so when I went back to work, no more Glenn Beck. :( A few months ago, Glenn Beck got his own TV program on one of the news...

....I mean, if we can have a Conservative female columnist, why not an unabashed Populist? (After all, she's the lady who hung the nickname 'Shrub' on GW). And the subject (Social Security) is one that has been argued here before and will be again as Bush gears up for Social Security Reform...

I'm about half way through Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liers Who Tell Them". It cracks me up when B'ORe claims that it isn't satire. Take for example this bit from the introduction where Al recounts his conversation with God where God was telling him to write the book. and How could...

Ivins is better than Franken Edited to say: Of course I meant Franken. Dam dis board where you can't correct or delete thread titles! If you're looking for a left-leaning political book that is funny, in an enraging sort of way, try Molly Ivins' new book, Bushwhacked: Live in George W...
