"Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had got captured, shot down and been a POW for eight years. [The media would ask], 'What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do while you were there as a captive for eight years?'" Steinem said, to laughter from the audience. McCain was, in fact, a prisoner of war for around five-and-a-half years, during which time he was tortured repeatedly. Referring to his time in captivity, Steinem said with bewilderment, "I mean, hello? This is supposed to be a qualification to be president? I don't think so."

That's Gloria Steinem speaking to a crowd of Democrats at a rally for Hillary Clinton.

ANYONE ELSE REVOLTED by Tom Hanks's humiliating use of American servicemen as propaganda stooges for the Hollywood left?

Hollywood spends all year and a few hundred million dollars emboldening the enemy and undercutting the mission of our troops in Iraq this year, but now tries to make up for it by having some Iraq troops as presenters.

DON'T STAB THE COUNTY IN THE BACK and tell me it's raining -- Peter Wehner puts the hook back on Harry Reid and other "I hope we lose" Democrats.

Also this: E. J. Dionne, Clinton hater.  Hugh Hewitt long ago identified Dionne as perhaps the most unprincipled columnist in America.  A champion partisan hack in a profession of partisan hacks.  In an age when you can get better political commentary almost at random for free on the web, one wonders how such people keep their jobs.  Then I take a look at such leftist sites as the DailyKook and I see that Dionne and his left-wing peers at the WaPo and NY Times are something like Immanuel Kant's among the fevered leftist writers.

UPDATE:  And the newest Clinton hater is .. Jonathan Chait!  Got to love it.  Another dishonest partisan hack is offended by the dishonest partisan hackery of the Clintons.

The AP Unleashes Attack Dog On Romney Have you seen the video? Here's a Boston Globe account of the tussle.  The AP has a tag team of partisan reporters and analysts ripping up Romney under their byline -- an attack program that makes up in vitriol for what it lacks in substance.  When you see the name Glen Johnson or Ron Fournier on an AP story coving the Presidential campaign, shake yourself out the the delusion that your reading the work of a sober professional pursuing truthful news.  What you're reading is the often slightly unhinged rantings of a partisan political operative who's chosen writing for the AP as his preferred platform for committing left - Democrat political activism.  What was once a disturbing trend in journalism is now the self-evident status quo, so old hat it's as expected as seagulls at the beach.  The only folks not up on the new reality of the news business are the poor old folks who still pay for a daily paper -- the rest of us have long ago ended our subscriptions.  When the newspapers finally die, many of us will identify it for what it was, an act of self-immolation by partisans more actively interested in advocacy than the news business.
