This is fodder for James Taranto's "everything is seemingly spinning out of control" file. Howard Dean has declared that he'll have to be "more humble" about Donald Trump's prospects and will "have to stop making fun" of him for now.
What's got Dean doing a 180 on Trump? Not just the latest polls, which include one showing Trump trouncing Jeb and Rubio in their home state of Florida. Above all,…
Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. Questions for Mike Barnicle: does the phrase "suicide bomber" ring a bell? How about "martyrdom" in the name of Allah?
On today's Morning Joe, Barnicle's argument in favor of the Iran deal was that to oppose it, one would "have to believe Iran is suicidal." Barnicle reasoned that if Iran dropped an atomic bomb on Tel Aviv, "Tehran would be a combination of…
What did NBC think they were getting when they hired as a "contributor" someone who served as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's translator and who in that role repeated his vicious anti-Semitic rants?
On Chris Hayes' MSNBC show this evening, Hooman Majd claimed the Iran deal is "a good deal for Iran, probably a better deal for the US," and that the US is not giving up anything, that there is no "signing…

Is Hillary hearing donkey hoofbeats? On his Weekly Standard podcast today, Bill Kristol put the odds at "better than 50/50" that one or more of Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden or John Kerry would jump into the race against a Hillary Clinton whom he described as "extraordinarily weak."
Kristol made an undeniable point, to wit, that "if someone came in and gave you [her] poll numbers, you would look…
It's a point of pride at Morning Joe that the show is unscripted. But in a notable deviation from that practice, Joe Scarborough clearly seemed to be reading off a teleprompter today as he promulgated a damning indictment of Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified informtion on her private email system. Scarborough's statement was interspersed with clips of Hillary making statements about her…
