Comedy chuckwagon Newt Gingrich got a ton of mileage out of his cranky and peevish take-down of CNN’s John King, and by extension the whole of the liberal media empire. (And for Gingrich’s gross vehicle weight rating, tons of mileage don’t come cheap!) You will recall that ABC was scheduled to air an interview with [...]

In Thursday’s debate in South Carolina, the one where Gingrich soared, Romney stuttered, Paul sniggered and Santorum … was also there … moderator John King prodded the gentlemen with questions on tax returns, a segment that greatly overshadowed any attempt to remind people that Gingrich isn’t good at monogamy. King’s express interest was in trying [...]

CNN anchor John King’s “magic wall” sent him over the edge when his beloved touch screen jammed. The DC-based anchor had a meltdown while anchoring his 7 p.m. show, “John King USA,” from CNN’s New York studio just days before the midterm elections. After a slew of technical and editorial errors, King lost his cool [...]

CNN sets it up: “Anthony Fossaceca, a blogger for OhioDaily.com, lambasted Kasich’s closing statement in Tuesday’s Ohio Governor debate as ‘the lamest, most cliche closing in debate history.’” And this blogger said it seemed like John Kasich made an anecdote about a Bob Evans conversation up. But CNN came to the rescue with their huge [...]

Lurching worm-beast John McCain found a new thing to yell at today! He’s just stuck down at the end of the hall, barking at his cell phone and demanding that staffers “fix the goddamn door that used to be here,” and of course there’s no door, and no staffers either … just one of those [...]

WHO’S THE MSM NOW? “Prominent conservative commentator and RedState.com editor Erick Erickson will join CNN as a political contributor, appearing primarily on CNN’s new show John King, USA, the network announced Tuesday.” He’ll be the guy who gets SLIMED before every commercial break! [CNN]

If you’ve been waking up in the middle of the night with a quiet sense of dread and the distinct sensation that something terrible is about to happen, don’t worry! It’s just your subconscious wondering if anybody ever decided what to call that new John King show on CNN.

John King! He is that CNN guy who hosts that thing, and he’s married to whatsername! And now he is departing that thing to host some other thing, leaving behind a bleeding wound in the heart of CNN’s Sunday morning programming. Naturally, this is all the fault of the orange-headed former Mexican-hating space entrepreneur, Lou [...]

Everyone very politely say “hello” to John King, who will be taking over journalism now that Lou Dobbs is no longer with us. King’s current gig is hosting State of the Union, which exists. According to Michael Calderone, one of “the good ones” at POLITICO: “The move reflects the network’s stated ambitions to be viewed [...]

Perhaps the best part of last night’s press conference (although there were so many!…??) was that Obama didn’t call on the Washington Post, perhaps because the Post reporter’s question about Alex Rodriguez’s fancy drugs at the last presser was a real toughy. He also didn’t call on the NYT, the WSJ, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, [...]

Those of you who were watching your inaugural festivities on the CNN this past week may have wondered from what mile-high fancy pillared balcony America’s Best Political News Organization Teevee Team was reporting. Was it the actual Mount Olympus, leased out by Obama? No, worse: it was from high atop the Canadian Embassy! They were [...]

Now that Dick Cheney has been literally wheeled out of Washington on a stretcher, who will we blurrily photograph molesting young maidens in distress? That is a question that only you, the reader, can answer. Send us your sightings/sexy candid camera-phone pics of vaguely famous people misbehaving around town for our famous and sporadically produced [...]

The new interactive maps are here! The new interactive maps are here! These things are 10 million x worse than cocaine, these things are. Click a state, find your county, find other counties, compare to ’04 and ’00, laugh, repeat, don’t get any work done, the end. [NYT President Map]
