Book: John Edwards and Bill Clinton are Cheaters; Harry Reid is a Racist; Sarah Palin is Not Smart

The 2008 U.S. presidential election is over and done with, but a new book called Game Change by New York Magazine ‘s John Heilemann and Time ‘s Mark Halperin has stirred up a lot of interesting gossip about the most recent White House race. While not providing that much truly new or startling, the book has offered tremendous fodder for national political conversation.

Sarah Palin Will Destroy the Media as Fox News Analyst

We don’t blame Sarah Palin for underwhelming us tonight. If anything, it was our own fault for hoping she’d use the opportunity of her first day as a Fox News analyst to roll out the 2010 version of “Death Panels.” Here’s a tip: If you’ve only got five minutes to spare, skip the first half of Palin’s appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor” tonight. In it, Palin was given every opportunity to cast Obama as the Black Hitler.

Finally, an Obama Musical that Gives Sarah Palin a Decent Set of Go-Go Dancers

After London’s smallish Obama on My Mind and Kenya’s amateurish Obama: The Musical , Germany has finally created a true Barack Obama musical extravaganza, HOPE: Einer Neuen Generation . Palin has skanky back-up dancers and Reverend Wright sings angry gospel. There are few international phenomena more fascinating to the American eye than foreign cultures’ interpretations of us

Why Do the Jews Hate Sarah Palin So Much?

In Commentary , Jennifer Rubin attempted to explain why The Jews hate Sarah Palin . (Because they hate Real Americans, is basically her answer.) David Frum rebuts: she is just scary to everyone! Both leave out one hugely important detail. Rubin’s argument (most of which is behind a paywall, so if David Frum has severely misstated it, we apologize!) is basically that American Jews dislike Palin because of all of her bullshit rural working-class signifiers: large family, no formal education, folksy, hunting, etc

No, Chris Matthews, You Don’t Get to Attack Politico

We’re on the record with our firm belief that Politico is a malevolent force that must be stopped . That said, we’re glad they published Dick Cheney ‘s latest reactionary ramblings, and Chris Matthews—of all people!—should shut up about it. Matthews is one of the nation’s chief practitioners of the narrative-constructing outrage-bait political journalism that Politico has perfected into a foul art, and he is one of the nation’s chief distributors of its wares

Ted Nugent: Barack Obama Belongs in Jail!

In 2004, Ted Nugent gave an interview in which he said homosexuality was “morally wrong.” A year later, the rocker was sued for child support for failing to pay the woman with whom he had a baby out of wedlock. This irony and hypocrisy is worth noting in light of the recent comments Nugent made to some magazine called Royal Flush . Speaking to the publication, he said of the President: “I think that Barack Hussein Obama should be put in jail
