Man, last night all the haters were hating on the Post for breaking the astonishing news that the nice rich lady with important friends had decided not to demand a lifelong appointment to the House of Lords after all. Well, now your precious MSM liberal gray lady of record, the New York Times, says the same thing, so it’s official: Caroline Kennedy will be roasted and eaten by David Paterson, with mint jelly, for lunch.

Just four short years ago, it was the Democrats who were getting called out in the press for constantly changing strategies and bickering publicly about petty nonsense. And four years ago, Joe Biden took a brave stand and asked reporters the very important question, “Who gives a shit?” (Those are the actual words out of his mouth.)

Howie Kurtz is from Brooklyn and he knows a good street fight when he sees one. The Post’s media masturbator does his thing this morning on David Frum’s role as top bruiser in the righty gangland war over Harriet: MORE »

Precision-timed heart of a heartless world Anderson Cooper has lost his shit. His latest CNN.com column, entitled “The Agony of Nail Biters,” has all of us in peejay-land a little frightened, to be quite honest. Is this the downy white run-off that precedes the great avalanche of psychic undoing, or just temporary backlash-backlash following the San Francisco Chronicle’s mean-spirited shark jump of the Coop? Whatever it is, it ain’t pretty: MORE »
