...rock star, with a standing ovation at a sprawling official convention luncheon. His book is about the future of American democracy. His inspirational earlier book, "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance," was a bestseller. In a BookExpo crowd of political types (Pat Buchanan, Arianna Huffington, Terry McAuliffe, and the like), Obama enjoyed triple the buzz. The celebrated keynote speaker's fame should take this more policy-oriented book...
...gentler rebuke from the podium by one of the student speakers, Jean Rohe, who said McCain's support for the Iraq war "does not reflect the ideals upon which this university was founded." McCain himself seemed unfazed by the remarks, but then Rohe elaborated on her remarks in the Huffington Post, saying she was going to make McCain look like an idiot. McCain's top staffer, Mark Salter, unloaded a fusillade on The Huffington Post, denouncing the mocking students as lacking "one small fraction" of McCain's character and calling Rohe an "idiot" herself. Then Rohe, predictably, wrote a response...
...judging for oneself is not allowed. Or, rather, if one judges and judges wrongly, well, you will be judged, too. Commentators at the Huffington Post were intuiting of one critic, who dared describe Colbert as "shrill and airless","If you don't like what Colbert had to say then you are a radical right winger... You're a killer in a SUV with blinders on with your foot plastered to the floor... You believe in torture, war, and murder of innocent lives." The critic in question happens to be my Nader-supporting, antiwar, vegetarian husband. But perhaps I'll think...
...tough for today's 24/7 Drudge-CNN-Huffington Post grazers to understand the journalistic wallop that Anderson's "Washington Merry-Go-Round" column packed in its heyday. Appearing in close to 1,000 U.S. newspapers a generation ago, Anderson drew readers with his decades of scoops: he reported Washington's tilt away from India and toward Pakistan (it earned him a 1972 Pulitzer). He established a link between the Nixon Justice Department's settling of an antitrust case against ITT and the conglomerate's $400,000 pledge to the 1972 Republican Convention. He revealed key elements of the Reagan Administration...
...better rounded. InstaPundit contains the musings of University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds on war, politics, media, blogging, and technology. The Daily Kos, famous for its role in the Dean Campaign, is a liberal-leaning political blog, as is the group blog The Huffington Post, brainchild of former California gubernatorial candidate Arianna Huffington. The trouble is that certain issues tend to get magnified by this bunch, and others suppressed. One minor but standout example was pointed out in frustration this past October by Ethan Zuckerman, a fellow at Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for the Internet...
