Link Mess

link messHere is your daily link mess. Don’t know what ‘link mess’ is? Well, scroll down:

Conservatives4Palin fears that the New York Times may be preparing a hit-piece on Governor Palin. Writes the site’s Joseph Russo: ‘A New York Times article centering on Palin’s relationship with the legislature will likely be full of quotes from Palin’s foes… When it comes to the so-called relationship problems between Palin and the legislature, I think it is safe to say that most of the blame lies with lawmakers.’ OK, that’s all fine and dandy (or it’s not actually), but isn’t a hit-piece in the NYT exactly what a conservative politician dreams of? Every single conservative out there knows the New York-based newspaper is quite liberal. Palin should carry the article with her, wherever she goes. Republicans will consider it a badge of honor.

Jerry Remmers, columnist for The Moderate Voice, argues in his latest post that Rachel Maddow – yes, the liberal ideologue – is “the best interviewer on television since the death of Tim Russert.” Question: does that mean that Maddow is so good, or that the rest is awful?

If you missed today’s episode of Meet The Press, I suggest you head on over to Donklephant where Justin Gardner published the video. Quite an interesting show. Watch it.

What’s the best religious movie ever? Is it Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, Jesus Christ – Superstar, Passion of the Christ or do you have a different favorite? Go to Hot Air to vote.

Yeah! The Obamas have finally agreed upon a dog. His name is Bo. He’s hairy, but adorable. The Huffington Post explains why having a dog is good for anyone, and especially for America’s First Family.

Right Wing News (scroll down) has an interesting post up about the left’s attempt to discredit “the tea party movement.” What’s that again with Saul Alinsky’s playbook for radicals (or something)?

Did you know that a make-up artist accompanies First Lady Michelle Obama 24/7? Neither did I. Luckily for us, Ann Althouse has the details.

Writing for Comments from Left Field Kathy wonders whether conservatives can “stop hating” for a day. It’s Easter, don’t they know? Politics certainly could do with a bit less hate and anger, but I can’t help but laugh out loud whenever a liberal blogger denounces the ‘hate’ from some on the right these days. They ‘hated’ Bush and conservatives in general for years. I believe there’s a word in yhe English language to describe such behavior: hypocrisy.

Blog, P.I. notes that the left doesn’t seem to understand the importance and value of Twitter. Luckily for conservatives, however, they do. Or do they? One of the things I love about Twitter is, as the author notes in his piece, that it allows everyone to be an Instapundit. Speaking of which: follow me. Please.

And lastly, yes you’re nearing the end of today’s Link Mess, Steve Benen notes that it must be boring to be David Broder. Oh, and Broder’s boring everybody else by being himself. Or so Benen opines. Of course, in today’s 24/7, shout-the-loudest climate every single person who doesn’t call for the assassination of ‘the enemy’ is always considered ‘dull.’

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome.

Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements. Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome.
