Because the reviewer praises this performance for "lightness and outright glee" doesn't mean she expected that in "Doubt."

the fact that Olbermann attacked O'Reilly is proof that he complied with an order NOT to attack O'Reilly? And the proof that there was a deal comes from an anonymous source used by a lawyer-playing-journaliist who has always lambasted actual journalists for using anonymous sources. Delicious.

"Mothers Who Eat Their Children: Crime or Feminist Tragedy?"

You're my hero.

how nobody criticizes the Policeman's Union for their support of Crowley even though they didn't have all the facts. But then they weren't an uppity black president forgetting himself.

Gene Lyons should be ashamed of this piece.

In the UK, what I'll politely call "the c-word" is gender free. Men as well as women can be c _ _ _ s. The nasty negative letters to this sweet-spirited articlt up front us of the wisdom of the Brits. You're a bunch of . . .

If subscribers go away because they can't tolerate an opinion different from their own, a publication is better off without them. Extortion is never a good way to put your idea across.

Is there anything more disgusting than someone who insists on the supreriority of their grief?

The Girthers! HAHAHA!

until I do.

This isn't journalism.

Show me a culture where women are prevented from leaving the house if they don't wear Jimmy Choo's or skinny jeans. Sarkizy has this one exactly right.

can anyone tell me why Olson is taking this case?

Imagine, a place where there's no chance of reading Sirota . . .

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high . . .

that it is a ban on women's freedom to prevent them from wearing the burqa assumes that they are free to choose not to wear it.

grow up you whining little pissant.

"There is absolutely no way a normal, adjusted human being cannot like "WALL-E" or "Up". There. Is. Not."

Sure, pal. No way a normal, adujusted human being can have an opinion different from you. And if a critic doesn't like a heartwarming movie, she must be losing her soul. Or a snob. Or a cynic.

Someone wake me when the Village Idiot Convention leaves town.

One scary bit with Kirk being chased by a dinosaur-like creature. Nothing bad happens, and it's brief, though intense. I don't think, if she likes Star Trek, that's going to ruin the nine-year-old's enjoyment.

Traister believes politicians should have a private sex life but is bothered by Spitzer's hypocrisy.

Who's the real hypocrite here?

It can be either, or both, or neither. Williams is having a response to one performer here, contrasting her with today's prefab porn bunnies. That you assume she has a doctrinaire response to porn is your presumption -- it is nowhere in her writing.

that can claim the genesis of this brilliant book deserves to congratulate itself. It's a fine, fine piece of journalism.

End of discussion.

Another one with too much time on his hands. Blackwell, can't you go clean the lint out of the clothes dryer or something.

MI5. MI6. No one going to see this gives a shit.

for the average troll who thinks the world need his opinion to get on and express doubts about a movie he hasn't seen. But, Raphael, aren't you allegedly a critic? Or is that an alleged critic?

it's close to German for "black," anybody using it as Mason did who claims not to be using it in a racist way is lying.

Taking "deepthink" from David Sirota seriously.

Boy, JW just can't get over Hillary losing, can she? How many more of these limp attacks coming?

Obama releases secret Bush memos AP

Here's what the line reads:

not made "for" white people

Does anyone understand what irony means?

For Christ's fucking sake.

It's misleading. It makes it sound as if the Times is editorializing against the limit instead of quoting execs who are against it.

bitch slaps that dumb bastard out of the park.

to hear Broadsheet staff smacking a collective high five.

Now for the sound of Ms. Walsh smacking her lips on that plate of crow.

"The promises of transparency were undercut, just a little, by the fact that the orders Obama had signed weren't posted on the White House Web site by the close of business Wednesday. In fact, the text of Tuesday's inaugural address didn't show up until sometime after lunch Wednesday."

Yep, there goes transparency. I mean it couldn't have anything to do with a new administration still finding their feet. Editing, anyone?

Somebody at Salon forward this line to Greenwald.

The ad copy for this is a pants wetter. Just the lift I needed in pre-holiday craziness.

than what we shouldn't laugh at.

Pitching lessons to improve his aim.

"there's only so much you can do to fight the basic stupidity of people, especially . . ."

when you give arrogant, self-righteous creeps like you the opportunity to post their pathetic little screeds online

Flee.

Then they're failures as films.

And how do you know the critic hasn't read Mrs. Dalloway? Me-OW!

Hilarious coming in a forum in which people who haven't seen the movie in question continually challenge the opinions of writers who have.

Mister Marker was around to see the Frost-Nixon interviews.

From the pontificial old fart tone he takes, I'd believe he was around to see the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

Oh, shut the fuck up.

"This is the filthy, venal sleaze on which both political parties feed. It's what fuels how the Beltway operates. It's the leading cause of why it functions as a corrupt, dysfunctional, bloated, incestuous royal court. That's what Washington is. For that reason, it would be next to impossible to find people who have been a part of this system who haven't been infected -- or more accurately: who haven't infected themselves -- at one point or another with this disease."

Where's Richard Hofstadter when you need him?

Mumia.

as Salon will soon find out.
