That's what the headline would read if McChrystal had been the Commander in Charge of Afghanistan operations under George W. Bush, and was on the record saying things like this: McChrystal, the article reports, took control of the war, the article states, "by never taking his eye off the real enemy: The wimps in the White House."

Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Andrew Malcolm of the Los Angeles Times’ Top of the Ticket blog joins us by telephone today, as he is on the road.  We’ll talk about the latest in politics and media, especially about the unfolding crisis between the White House and its commander in the main theater of war.  We’ll also talk about the polling fallout of the Oval Office speech, and all of the rest of the headlines.

This really has to be seen to be believed. We all know that MSNBC--Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, etc.--is in the tank for the Obama administration, but I think this is the first time an on-air MSNBC personality has confessed to "working with the White House" on talking points; here, regarding the Gulf oil spill. The MSNBC employee in question is Mika Brzezinski, the daughter of Jimmy Carter's national security adviser. It's really pretty funny to see her reading the White House talking points on air:

What’s going on with the Sestak quietude? Ed muses: “Now the same party leaders whine to Politico that Sestak hasn’t called to get them on his side. Well, perhaps he’s waiting for some apologies, from both the party leaders and from the White House, which are pretty clearly in order.” What if Sestak just doesn’t want to answer questions? What if the answers get everyone in trouble? What if he’s been threatened?

First headline – Monkeys like watching television. Do you actually have to read the article? Go for it.  No, btw, I did not watch Obama’s speech.  Got my fill of fiction earlier in the day.  Speaking of which …

You must be kidding me.  But this is Reuters reporting it, not The Onion:

In a press conference today DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen attempted to use the oil spill to garner support for his politically motivated DISCLOSE bill.

The definition of a tough crowd? When Obama sycophants like Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and Ezra Klein all give the President’s speech the worst reviews since the latest Ben Affleck movie, there’s not a whole heckuva lot for the MWU to add. Perhaps Olbermann said it best (didn’t think you’d ever see that line, did you?

Responding to President Obama’s speech about the Gulf oil spill this morning, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said, “The immediate issue here is a broken pipe that’s been spewing hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil a day into the ocean for mor

If there is anything worse for a leader than rhetorical impotence, I don’t know what it is. Even a sex scandal implies some sort of virility. But empty words? [Text here.]

57 days after oil spill began, President Obama, along with his most trusted advisor, Ted Teleprompter,  will address the nation tonight about the horrible situation in the Gulf. We’ve read that much of the speech will have absolutely nothing to do with fixing the leak. Right now, people across the country are unanimous in their desire for the leak to be plugged and the mess to be cleaned up, period. Diverting attention and resources to other ideological or reactionary pursuits is not the answer right now.

According to Steven F. Hayward, author of the book The Age of Reagan: The Conservative Counter-Revolution, 1980-1989, here's why Ronald Reagan would likely have voted for Sarah Palin:

Amazingly enough, the same Saturday Night Live that brought us obnoxious moonbats like Al Franken and Chevy Chase also produced the patriot Victoria Jackson, who has noticed that there's a communist living in the White House and wants to know what we propose to do about it.

With the news of Adam Gadahn’s capture in Pakistan mostly confirmed, an interesting question has arisen, both on Twitter and in the blogosphere.  Where should the Obama administration try Gadahn?  The White House will apparently reverse Eric Holder’s decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other 9/11 cons

Balancing stupidity with reality: "The White House took great offense this week when conservatives suggested President Obama might be trading a judicial appointment for a wavering Democrat's vote on his health care reform plan. "Absurd," a miffed administration official told Politico.com. Wherever could the American people get such an impression? Let us count the ways.

"On Wednesday, the very day Obama hosted 10 swing Democrats who had opposed the expansive health care takeover bill in November, the White House issued a press release trumpeting the nomination of Scott M. Matheson Jr.

A Fox News poll asks, "What State Is Capital of Political Scandal?" The results so far:

It looks like even with the stuff that's been hitting the fan lately, the Dems running New York have a ways to go to catch up with the Dems running Illinois.

Next question: the notoriously septic political machine of which state produced the ham-fisted socialist currently occupying the White House?

Some Republicans believe that, if 2010 turns out to be the kind of year it may be shaping up to be, the Party can pick up the California Senate seat held by Barbara Boxer. In theory, this view may be reasonable. But first, the Republicans must nominate a strong candidate.

Be forewarned: this pack of lies from President Obama and his White House Perpetual Campaign Ministry might actually make blood spurt out of your eyes.

So, mindless Obot volunteers of have pledged over 9 million hours to Dear Leader in order to help elect him and to try and help ram his socialist, anti-American agenda sown our throats. Thank goodness that a the latter has been somewhat foiled for now -- all because of men and women like you, gentle reader.

Last night, the White House let leak a trial balloon (if you'll pardon the pun) -- top aides are working on reversing the decision to try the 9/11 conspirators in federal court, and giving them back to the military tribunals set up under the Bush administration. This would be a stunning reversal, as Obama and several of his top advisors -- chief among them Attorney General Eric Holder -- had made such a stink out of giving them a fair trial, and then hanging them.

The dream season that began in 2009 is ending on a sour note for the Democrats. Allah observes that some Democrats are beginning to distance themselves from the White House deadline imposed for passing ObamaCare.

Having found it difficult to continue blaming former President George W. Bush for everything wrong with their lives, and being unwilling to attempt the growth necessary for personal accountability, the Aluminati have recently taken to imagining that the end of the world is near.

White House approval of a surge in Afghanistan appears to be part of a strategy to stabilize the country before disengaging.

So yesterday I posted that representatives Boehner and Cantor responded in letter form to Obama's request for a public, televised health care summit. White House press secretary Gibbs has responded to that letter in a manner that is politics at its worst.
