Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:

Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!

Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.

Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)

On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]

My Eyes! » January 23, 2006 Mine Safety - Now? In 1958, when Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia was elected to the Senate for the first time, 358 people were killed in coal mining accidents in the United States. Since that time, the man has become a master at finding federal dollars for projects in his state, but even the New York Times acknowledges he has done little for miners. For better or worse, coal is ever a prime economic resource for West Virginia - a lodestone for corporations, and still a millstone for too many miners. This has been true through the political ages, right up through the powerful reign of the state's Democratic favorite son, Senator Robert Byrd, who has packed West Virginia with highway projects and other pork-barrel goodies that have somehow failed to securely touch the lives of the long-suffering coal miners. Now, after two mining accidents in a relatively short period of time, Byrd has decided mine accidents are the fault of the Bush administration. I wonder...will Robert Byrd speak out against the mining industry itself, or will the $21,000 a year they give him ensure that he keeps his ire pointed at Bush? (Corrected number) posted by Slublog at 01:07 PM Comments I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am totally amazed at politicians like Byrd, Kennedy and all others on both sides who have been in office for as long as they have. It is truly past time for term limits, their arrogance just grows and grows the longer that they remain in office. Sadly no one in WV will see that Byrd is just a leech sucking at the blood of taxpayers. He will, unfortunately be able to convince a portion of WV voters that these deaths are the fault of the president. How pathetic! Posted by: The Real Steve on January 23, 2006 02:11 PM Neither of these mines were named for Robert Byrd, were they? Or waybe the highway that leads to the mines was. Or perhaps the hospital that sent the emergency crews was the Robert Byrd Hospital. Or maybe the offices where they held the press conferences were named after the esteemed Senator. Oh, yeah, the disasters themselves are Bush's fault. Posted by: wiserbud on January 23, 2006 02:21 PM If Bush rolls over on this one the way they let that despicable mayor/combo tag team from LA try to say that Katrina's devastation was all the feds fault they deserve the beating they get. What the hell is the job of a senator, a democrat senator of the people no less, if not to insure that the single biggest industry in his state is safe and fair to its workers? Byrd is a disgrace and the way some people defer to him as if he is some honorable elder statesman makes my stomach turn. Posted by: JackStraw on January 23, 2006 02:36 PM mayor/governor combo....sigh Posted by: JackStraw on January 23, 2006 02:38 PM I believe that Sen. Byrd was elected to the Senate in 1948. I say this because I was doing some newspaper research on the Feb-Mar 1949 time period and he was listed in a newspaper article as Sen. Byrd of WV. Unless there was another Sen. Byrd of WV.
