I bet you don't like Drudge. And if that's true, why do you keep quoting Politico?

[Stinky The Clown]

They're Drudge after a shower, shave, and haircut.

I still a great many threads on here that start with a quote from or link to Dru ..... er ...... Politico.

[Dappleganger]

1. I never quote them...

and read them once in a blue moon, just to see how screwed up they are on any given day. Not everyone pays them attention.

[marketcrazy1]

2. why does it matter

where a quote originates or a story? if it is of interest to me and if i can verify it`s veracity independently of the source ( i verify everything no matter who says it ) then I am grateful to hear the news, facts or story....

[madrchsod]

6. you mean .."a source close to.." politico ?

this report,story,or complete fabrication takes the quoting of the "sources" to new level.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20090403/pl_politico/20871

i became to confused to actually count the number of times an unnamed source was used...

[marketcrazy1]

7. verify EVERYTHING

you are sitting in front of the most powerful information gathering devise ever conceived by man....................... USE IT!!!!!!!!

[Occam Bandage]

11. I like Ben Smith's blog. I usually check him once a day.

I'm not much of a fan of their articles, but Ben Smith and FiveThirtyEight are the only two political blogs I'll check daily.

[MadBadger]

15. I used to check Ben Smith and TPM a couple times a day during the election

His blog coverage is pretty fair (though he does enjoy the sensational BS that the rest of the media enjoys), but I dont like his articles that he writes.

Jonathon Martin on the other hand is a unfair tool.

17. Friends don't let friends read Politico ...

Strong Black Woman Found To Be Tolerable
By: TBogg Thursday April 2, 2009 10:15 am

Congratulations to Michelle Obama for rising above the fever swamps of wingnut fabricated outrage and to Politico's Ben Smith for treating those mostly imaginary negatives as facts:

The newest Gallup numbers show Michelle Obama as more popular even than her husband, with a 72% favorable rating to his 69%.

Her transformation in the public eye is one of David Axelrod's great successes, and really a remarkable thing. She was, for a moment, a serious vulnerability for the campaign. She was the subject of her own set of hostile rumors, many centered on race: There was the imaginary "whitey tape" and the rumors about her (actually pretty dry) college thesis. She did herself damage with a comment about how her husband's success made her proud to be an American for the first time. Then she retreated into a far narrower space of supportive wife and mother.

The puke funnel lives...
