Lauer Hearts al Qaeda

NBC’s Matt Lauer to Michele Bachmann:

Obviously that involves kinetic military action, particularly on the front end.” Orwell, or at least the guardians of Newspeak about whom Orwell wrote, would have been proud. – Roger Kimball

“I Want A Waiver From The Last Two Years Of Obama”

I’m sure a lot of people do…

Anthony Weiner said he wanted a waiver from ObamaCare. Now, this is rich because our colleague Anthony Weiner said that he wrote the bill for ObamaCare. In fact, his quote was “the bill and I are one”. Now, if Anthony Weiner wants a waiver, I want mine too. I want a waiver from the last two years of President Obama. Are you with me? – Michele Bachmann
