The Messiah’s Most Astonishing Accomplishment

The One has achieved something I didn’t anticipate. He has not only made me miss Bill Clinton, but he’s starting to make me nostalgic for the Nasty Little Man.

It’s a given that the United Nations is a systemically-corrupt enemy of freedom. When our own president sides with the thugs over the rule of law it just rubs salt in the wound.

[D]on’t expect President Obama to stand up for justice and the rule of law. As NR’s Jay Nordlinger recently pointed out, Obama has decided to revoke the visa of Honduran president Roberto Micheletti, preventing his entry into the United States. Obama apparently feels more comfortable sharing a cappuccino in the U.N. Delegates Lounge with a deposed Chávez acolyte than with its authentic, constitutionally legitimate president.

I am genuinely ashamed of the actions of our president. Too bad He has no sense of shame.

Post Reporters Deny Using Questionable Tactics to Entrap Nixon

Can you imagine this headline running in any paper, except the Washington Post, in 1972?

The proposition seemed outlandish. Two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, would accept information from a secret source who would only be known as “Deep Throat.” This information would be so damaging to president of the United States, it would unleash a scandal that would shake the foundations of the nation’s government to its core.

Woodward and Bernstein deny being beholden to left-wing interests, but admit taking advice in their reporting from left-wing editor Ben Bradlee. They insist that no left-wing organization bankrolled their reporting efforts.

Well, here’s what the WaPo wrote on Friday:

O’Keefe insists that he and Giles’s work was done independently and rejects liberal suggestions that the videos were bankrolled by conservative organizations. He does, however, acknowledge receiving help and advice from a conservative columnist and Web entrepreneur.
