Opinion Roundup: More Intelligence, Less Safety
By not in system - AOL News(July 19) -- Dana Priest and William Arkin's Washington Post expose of the fast-growing intelligence community in their first installment of "Top Secret America" has plenty of people talking. Making Us Less Safe What's most noteworthy about all of this is that the objective endlessly invoked for why we must acquiesce to all of this -- National Security -- is not only unfulfilled by "Top Secret America," but actively subverted by it. ... The article details how ample information regarding alleged Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan and attempted Christmas Day bomber Umar Abdulmutallab was collected ...

By Tommy Christopher and Caleb Howe - Politics DailyCaleb and I will be appearing on The Ed Morrissey Show at 3 pm, where I will engage two of the right's finest minds in mortal verbal kombat!! Mortal Kombat? Did you cold start this story with a controlled matter-antimatter implosion causing a time warp? Why not throw a Pac-Man joke at us?

We'll talk about whether ...
Talk of Legislative 'Nuclear Option' Just a Warning Shot
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: Ed informs me via email that he did make the distinction then between judicial and legislative filibusters. He invites readers to check his archives, but his word is good enough for me. I still disagree with him.Ed Morrissey at Hot Air is afraid he'll find his smoking filibuster in the shape of a mushroom cloud, but I think he's on 'shrooms if he thinks the Democrats will actually exercise the so-called "nuclear option." (Formerly known as the "NOOK-yoo-lur option.") Here's what Ed says:Peter Orszag, Barack Obama's budget director, says the White House won't take off the table an ...
Right Wing Talking Point Du Jour: 'Obama Overwhelmed!'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyI've seen this in a few places, but you know a talking point has hit it big when my pal Ed Morrissey is flogging it. From Hot Air:After insulting Gordon Brown during the British prime minister's visit this week by ignoring protocol and cheaping out on the traditional gift exchange, the UK media has erupted in outrage. The Obama White House has now started to recognize the firestorm the new President created with our closest ally, and wants to assure the Brits that he meant no disrespect. Instead, Obama apparently wants to assure them that he's simply in over his head and floundering (via Radio ...
Does Michael Steele Matter At All?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIs the RNC chair in witness protection or something? I was perturbed, yesterday, that White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs hadn't heard about Steele's comments regarding civil unions. While covering CPAC today, I asked everyone I spoke to about Steele's pronouncement. Here's what I got:In fact, the only person here who knows about Steele's declaration of war on civil unions is Captain Ed Morrissey. We talked about it on his show earlier, and here's what he had to say: ...
Hot Air and Redstate Denounce Bill O'Reilly
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyMaybe bipartisanship isn't completely dead, but only mostly dead.Yesterday, I reported that Fox News television personality Bill O'Reilly had stolen my reporting on Helen Thomas' explanation of her "so-called terrorists" remark, and aired an uncredited, butchered version of my video clip.Since then, O'Reilly's actions have been denounced by both Redstate and Hot Air, two of the most influential conservative sites in the blogosphere. I appeared on Ed Morrissey's web TV show yesterday, where Ed described O'Reilly's actions as "small" and "unprofessional." To illustrate just how egregious ...
Reaching Across the Aisle - Live
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyOver the course of the past year, I've had the privilege of making a rather unexpected friend, Captain Ed Morrissey from Hot Air. Ed is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable names in the conservative blogosphere. We agree on almost nothing, but we respect the way each of us goes about it. Ed joins Redstate mainstay and Political Machiner Caleb Howe as people from the right who know how to be strong, skillful advocates, while avoiding the personal rancor that often taints our national debate.While our motives are mostly pure, I know that for me, I've gleaned valuable intel on how the ...
Keystone Protesters' NYU 'Revolt' Ends With Hissy Fit
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyFoul language warning: Via Hot Air. Allahpundit calls this comedy gold. Hard to disagree.The entire episode was keystone; you can just hear the comedic sound track to accompany the highlight reel from the 3-day "protest". When the camera man says "Alright, who wants to be a facilitator? Who can facilitate at this point?" ... well I nearly choked on my Perrier. Then when he said "I don't think they want water bottles, they probably drink corporate water" I actually did choke on my Perrier. I was dead for like 8 minutes. I saw Elvis. It was that funny.What did the students want, you reasonably ...
Rob Blagojevich Solicited Roland Burris for $10k Prior to Senate Appointment
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThat's not a typo, Rod Blagojevich's brother is named Robert Blagojevich, and he was the head of Friends of Blagojevich. Captain Ed over at Hot Air has the story:Maybe Harry Reid should have stuck to his guns. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Roland Burris failed to disclose that impeached and former Governor Rod Blagojevich's brother solicited a $10,000 contribution just prior to Burris' appointment to the Senate. The admission conflicts with previous sworn depositions in the case, putting Burris at risk of perjury...The Sun-Times has this preview of Burris' defense:Burris said he sent the ...
