Bartlett Unleashed: On Flip-Flops, a "Dud" and the Guy With the Funny Name  —  Dan Bartlett, formerly one of the closest advisers to President Bush, has been offering a tough analysis of the GOP field.  (White House Photo Office).  —  One of President Bush's closest advisers …

Live-Blogging the Republican Debate  —  It is fascinating (at least to those of us who had not watched one of these all the way through) how all the Republicans candidates feel the need to claim that we can get more revenue through tax cuts.  Obviously tax increases are the kiss of death for a Republican candidate.
Ed Morrissey / Captain's Quarters:
Fred Wins, Chris Loses (Update: My Prediction Comes True)  —  The first debate with Fred Thompson was expected to reveal whether the lanky actor had what it takes to make a national run for the office.  Instead, it revealed Chris Matthews as a hack of the first order, one who tried his best to torpedo Thompson — and failed utterly.

Debate Drunkblogging — LIVE!  —  1:59pm (All times Mountain, most likely): Just waiting for CNBC to start their broadcast.  But I've got my first martini half in me already.  And please try not to refresh this page more than every two or three minutes.  I can't post much faster than that …

Ezra Klein:
What Has Happened To The Right?  —  Something has gone wrong on the Right.  Become sick and twisted and tumorous and ugly.  To visit Michelle Malkin's cave is to see politics at its most savage, its most ferocious, its most rageful.  They say they've spent the past week smearing a child …

Dan / Riehl World View:
Alright, That's Enough On Graeme Frost  —  I did some research into the Frost family last night but was just going to let it go, no need to pile on, etc.  But Think Progress doesn't seem to want to let it go.  So, I'm posting what I turned up after I say my piece.  —  See those faces at Right?
John Cole / Balloon Juice:
When Rhetoric Meets Reality  —  I was talking to Tim via AOL IM, and I decided it was probably worthwhile to bring this up for everyone.  One of the things that is so surprising (for me, at least) about the whole Graeme Frost episode is that rather than make their case against this program …

"Ward Churchill to teach unsanctioned course on CU campus"  —  Dangerous.  Anti-establishment.  Edgy: … If Churchill's special brand of anti-American, white guilt-fueled BDS is strong enough to get college students to attend extra classes — for which they'll receive no credit …

Diet and Fat: A Severe Case of Mistaken Consensus  —  In 1988, the surgeon general, C. Everett Koop, proclaimed ice cream to a be public-health menace right up there with cigarettes.  Alluding to his office's famous 1964 report on the perils of smoking, Dr. Koop announced that the American diet …

Patrick / mediabistro.com:
Matthews on Matthews  —  On today's "Morning Joe," Joe Scarborough asked Chris Matthews if Republican candidates would try to get a "cheap applause line" tonight by pointing to his recent controversial comments.  —  Said Matthews:  —  I've been thinking about that....It's not my stage tonight.
