Obama’s Little Helper: Sex Scandals – Jonathan Alter runs down all the ways the President has benefitted from OPOPP (Other People’s OPP), but I was particularly amused by his take on the ripples of the Lewinsky affair, a kind of Venus Butterfly Effect.

From Huffington Post: 9:20 AM ET — Ahmadinejad looking for Neda’s real killer.

Ed Morrissey pointed me at the New York Times’ review of “The Stoning of Soraya M,” and I have to say, as predictable as it was, I’m still disappointed. This is exactly the kind of unimaginative, knee-jerk, cover your ass reaction that John Ziegler warned me about when he told me about the film. Let’s [...]

Update: A Florida Medical Examiner says it doesn’t look like the bumpy landing caused Billy Mays’ death, after all, but rather that he “likely died of a heart attack, but further tests are needed.” What a strange coincidence, though.

Update: The film has taken in $117,000 from 27 screens, for a good $4,333 per-screen average, according to studio estimates. This is a film that deserves to be seen, and hopefully, it will see its numbers increase in future weeks, as word-of-mouth spreads and the film is shown in more theaters. ‘The Stoning of Soraya [...]

Update: Here’s Nico’s take, including the fact that Milbank called him a dick off-mic. Also underscoring my earlier point, in Nico’s article, Politics Daily’s Lynn Sweet brags about being the only journalist besides Milbank to ask about Obama’s swimsuit.
