Secret Service Employee Accidentally Tweets About 'Blathering' While 'Monitoring' Fox News

The Ghost of Gaffes Past


"The 2010 midterms marked the final handover of political news judgment from the professionals to the amateurs and operatives. Consider: Four years ago, when then-Sen. George Allen of Virginia, then running for re-election, called a Democratic video tracker "Macaca," you could not see the video on your phone. You couldn't tweet it. It was largely up to news organizations whether they covered the video, which is why conservatives blamed the Washington Post for blowing it up into a scandal by covering every angle of the incident."

"Isn't that quaint? Now we find out about damaging gaffes and videos because people record them (or clip them from TV) and put them online, then spread the word through social media. Most of the "must-see videos" from the trail this year got that way because conservative or liberal blogs were obsessing over them and the rest of the media had to notice. And that often led to a pack-dog mentality about these videos or other gaffes: Because everyone was talking about them, they had a political impact, and that often became more important than what the pols were actually saying."

The Real Rangel Scandal: A $6 Billion Taxpayer Gift to a British Company


"Meanwhile, some of Rangel’s most troubling ethical charges continue to be ignored. Did Rangel add a provision to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) legislation that gives a British conglomerate, Diageo, $2.7 billion in tax relief (the total will ultimately cost almost $6 billion when considering that this is a sixty-year agreement) to build a rum distillery in the U.S. Virgin Islands?"
