Last night, President Obama and Mitt Romney faced off in Denver, in what will likely go down in history as some of the most boring 90 minutes in the history of American television. It was scoreless high school soccer game boring. It was oil change repair shop vintage issue of Reader's Digest with country sensation…
What's worse, being described as "shrill" or being called a cougar? Welcome to the "pyramid of egregiousness"! (It considers cougar the greater offense.)
"You hear that my lefty friends?" said an emcee at a recent Sarah Palin event. "Conservative women — they're smarter than you and they're hotter than you." Sure. They're also so fun to imitate! Just ask Sara Benincasa.
Chris Matthews often has trouble forgetting when his guests and subjects are female, but his assertion that he forgot for an hour that the president was black inspired The Daily Show's Wyatt Cenac to get in on the post-racial party.

This is apropos of absolutely nothing except that I watch Hardball every day and have found myself increasingly annoyed at Chris Matthews' annoying-yet-hilarious alterna-universe pronunciation of a certain surname I hate to hear anyway.
Last night, MSNBC's Chris Matthews had writer William Saletan and conservative Ken Blackwell on Hardball to discuss reducing the number of abortions in the United States. Missing from the conversation: women. Also: accuracy.

During the Inaugural dance-a-thon that took place Tuesday night, it was hard not to notice how in love our First Couple seemed as they spun around the floor, celebrating their historic victory with one another.
It used to be that this venerable feature was inspired by the news, hangovers, and/or funny pictures. But The Huffington Post's Jason Linkins and I have a new muse — or, to be fair, a couple of million of new muses harmed in the filming of SNL's digital short "Jizz In My Pants" (embedded after the jump). There's just…
With only two more Senate races left to watch, an Administration to staff and a country to help out of a financial crisis, Rahm Emanuel took some time out yesterday to speak to a bunch of CEOs, and have dinner in the vicinity of The Daily Beast's Ana Marie Cox. What he said, who he was with and all the important…
Ever since the Obama Girl declared late last year that she has a crush on Obama, we've felt a certain freedom to admit that Barack Obama is hot. I mean, who among us doesn't want to be that baby? Unfortunately, Senator Obama's allure keeps people from noticing many of the other crush-worthy objects of our collective…
Chris Matthews has had it up to here. Maybe it's simply exhaustion from the election season, or jet lag (he's currently in Los Angeles, not D.C.). Or perhaps he's just sick of the Bachmann-like bullshit thrown his way every night on the highly entertaining Hardball. Regardless, earlier this evening, Matthews went off…
Even though many thought Sarah Palin's inclusion on the GOP ticket was a ploy to get disaffected Clintonistas to vote for McCain, the latest poll from CBS and the New York Times shows that Obama now has a 2 point edge over McCain when it comes to white female voters — up 21 points from last week. Obama is now far…
A women's group called New Agenda is campaigning against Chris Matthews aka my secret celebrity crush, because of what it feels are his sexist attitudes.
