You think of some of the world reaction to the president's use of the word 'axis of evil' and then you see how events have been unfolding," [Sean Hannity] remarked. The miracle monarch "flew into my garden last Friday," a delighted Clive Farrell, founder of London's popular Butterfly House tourist attraction, told CanWest News Service. "I've put it in a greenhouse and I'm feeding it to try to overwinter it if I can.
Talk radio serves as the American right's consolation prize in a contest otherwise won by what they perceive to be the liberal mainstream media. Because of this, one would naturally expect them to be a bit chilly toward the idea of reviving the Fairness Doctrine. But by no means are they alone in their argument. Even I, a devout liberal and hater of all things Limbaugh and Hannity, say no to the idea of "present controversial issues of public importance in an honest, equitable and balanced manner" (Wikipedia, Fairness Doctrine). Why? Simple. It's dull. If you look on page B8 you will see, under the heading "precipitation," that in the "24 hours through 7 p.m. yesterday" the precipitation in Winnipeg was 0.0 mm. Really? By 7 p.m. yesterday a lot of rain had already fallen. The same weat...
The e-mail said, "Democrat vice-presidential nominee [Joe Biden]'s gaffes have become so excessive that we've now dedicated an entire site, which includes an interactive timeline, map and videos to track Biden's most noteworthy fumbles and missteps since becoming [Barack Obama]'s running mate. Sure, [Sarah Palin] appears at plenty of rallies and has proved she can deliver a speech. But in the five weeks since she has been named the vice-presidential candidate, she has sat for only three hand-selected interviews -- ABC News' Charlie Gibson, Fox News' Sean Hannity, and Katie Couric of CBS -- and taken four impromptu questions last week in New York City. Palin has not been questioned in a news conference. The sheltering of Palin fosters a suspicion that she is ill-equipped to serve in the...
A: Me exploit her? She's on my balcony right now, or as she calls it, Tuscany. When she has her wine and she's in her muumuu she's not quite sure what continent she's on. Then she blares her AM radio and we are very politically different. We get in many political arguments. She loves O'Reilly. She wants me to date Sean Hannity. Exploitive? First of all, she could drink a frat party under the table. I would put at least 100 bucks on my mom. And I say, "Ciao, bella. A: There are so many levels to Woz. When I was seeing him, I was spending a lot of time with him. He is one of a kind. I'm going to get mushy. He's a goofball and there wasn't chemistry, but I'm grateful he's in my life as a friend. There are moments with him I feel like I was touched by greatness. I can't talk on his level, ...
He's been called "Senator McLame," the "worst choice" for president in 70 years and the man who would "kill conservatism" in the White House. I do hope that at some point we would just calm down a little bit and see if there's areas we can agree on," [John McCain] said Wednesday at a news conference in Phoenix. "I think they've made their case against me pretty eloquently, if that's the right word. The most vitriolic attacks have come from conservative talk radio hosts, including Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Mike Levin, who branded McCain as "Senator McLame."
[...] while he's a member of the provincial Progressive Conservatives -- he ran as a sacrificial lamb against then-premier Gary Doer in 2007 -- many in the party distance themselves from Waddell because of his extreme views and the fact he enjoys talking about them. Just as the Tories are starting to make some serious inroads in Winnipeg against the NDP, now is not the time for some redneck rural rantings to scare the bejeezus out of the urbane voters in the provincial capital.

American and Iraqi forces have killed 104 insurgents in 452 raids countrywide since "al-Qaida in Iraq" leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed last week, the U.S. military said. According to a translation provided by National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie, the document said the best way to overcome the "current bleak situation" would be to involve U.S. forces in a "war against another country" or hostile group. The U.S. military said Abu Ayyub al-Masri, an Egyptian with ties to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, has taken over from al-Zarqawi as head of al-Qaida in Iraq. Al-Masri apparently is the man that the terrorist group identified in a Web posting last week as its new leader -- Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, a nom de guerre, said [William Caldwell].

Richard Durbin, the Senate's second-ranking Democrat, claims that it is time to "reinstitute the fairness doctrine," a federal rule in place in 1949-87 that guaranteed "ample play for the free and fair competition of opposing views" on the airwaves. Even Trent Lott, a leading Republican, is hinting at jumping on the bandwagon. "Talk radio is running America," he complained when the immigration bill went down in flames. "We have to deal with that problem. Doesn't this new media world guarantee "ample play for the free and fair competition of opposing views?" Doesn't it make regulating the airwaves in the name of government-mandated fairness seem quixotic?

The Republican Party's divorce from the intelligentsia has been a while in the making. The born-again [George W. Bush] preferred listening to his "heart" rather than his "head." He also filled the government with incompetent toadies like Michael "heck-of-a-job" Brown, who bungled the response to hurricane Katrina. They have fallen into constructing cartoon images of "real Americans," with their "volkish" wisdom and charming habit of dropping their g's. How likely is it that the Republican Party will come to its senses? There are glimmers of hope. Business conservatives worry that the party has lost the business vote. Moderates complain that the Republicans are becoming the party of "white-trash pride." Anonymous [John McCain] aides complain that Mrs. [Sarah Palin] was a campaign-destroy...
