| Oliver Willis to Michelle Malkin: "Quit Taking Money From Rich White Guys" »
January 12, 2005
EllisBlog to the Wolverines: Stop WhiningI sort of agree with that... until I read a blogger making a strong case that the Panel cravenly punted on the two central issues under investigation: whether the documents are DEFINITELY forged (newsflash: they are) and whether or not Mapes and Rather & Co. had a political bias driving their "myopic zeal" (another stunner: they do, obviously). Still, he makes some good points about the glass being half-full. The report is very damning of virtually every slapdash step taken in this botched "investigative journalism" piece. And he also quotes Mickey Kaus' great line about Andy Heyward. How did Andy Heyward escape being fired? By employing a reverse-Nuremburg defense: "I vas only giving orders." But Ellis expects Heyward will be "resigned" after a Decent Interval. posted by Ace at 02:55 PM
CommentsThe panel did punt on both those issues. They expressly stated that they could find no evidence of bias. They blamed the entire thing on "mechanical" breakdowns in the vetting process. As to the validity of the documents, they ignored their own expert. Appendix 4 was the report of a typewriter expert (one that CBS had praised in the past) who stated that there was absolutely no doubt that the documents were modern-day creations. However, in the main body of the report, the panel stated that it was impossible to know the truth about the memos. Posted by: Steve L. on January 13, 2005 06:55 AM

David Strom connects the Fiercely Heterosexual Cory Booker (TM) and his Theater Kid Energy to the Democrats' belief that they're all superstars who glow in the spotlight
They're always protesting using painfully bad dance numbers and song renditions. Which side are you on...?

I Can't Believe It's Not Bryan Adams Edition Well I saw you on the avenue And as usual you're with someone new I guess there's nothing left for me to do but turn away I'm growing tired of all your alibis There ain't one you can justify I ain't gonna take it anymore and I'll tell you why You know, I wrote "I Can't Believe It's Not Bryan Adams" and then realized, "Wait, this is so blatantly a Bryan Adams-style song this might actually be a genuine Bryan Adams song, let me look this up." In fact, yes, it's co-written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. And I guess I would have realized that if I just watched the video, in which Bryan Adams plays guitar and contributes backing vocals.
Jason Statham's Working Man beat Snow Woke at the box office this weekend. The Chosen, a movie made up of three episodes of a show available on TV, almost beat Snow Woke too, cashing in $11 million over the weekend.
I't's time to let go. Actor Val Kilmer dies at 65. Doc Holiday in Tombstone was his ultimate role, but I'll always love his comedic turns in Top Secret! and Real Genius. RIP. [Weirddave]
Sen. Cory Booker Speaks All Night on Senate Floor to Protest Against Trump's Agenda So what! Apparently his beard has a date and he has nothing else to do. [CBD]

"We Got the Receipts" recaps some of the Tesla Terrorism the left has perpetrated the past week
Democrats plan a global terrorism campaign next week, Tuesday I think, called "Takedown Tesla." Democrat politicians encourage the violence and refuse to condemn it. Well okay, but if violence is approved for your side, it's approved for ours as well.
Flashback: Zombie Joe Biden's "Farewell Address"
Was this the worst speech ever delivered by a "president"?

It's the #HackMadness tournament, second round of 32!

I feel bad about this but I'm going to have to post about Rachel Zegler again...
The "Ghost Gun" case before SCOTUS: BONDI, ATTORNEY GENERAL, ET AL. v. VANDERSTOK ET AL. We lose... 7-2, and you can guess who the two dissenting judges are. [CBD]
Masih Alinejad "Where are @AOC, @IlhanMN, the left-wing activists who called me an Islamophobe, and the campus protesters chanting "I am Hamas"? The killers sent by the Islamic Republic to assassinate a woman on US soil were convicted in federal court, You're silent. Why?" [CBD]
Great interview of Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce, and a close friend of Trump for 30 years. He explains the blueprint for Trump's financial transformation of the USA and how it really will succeed. I can't recommend this long video enough. [dri]
