Monica Crowley on The McLaughlin Group is just the gift that keeps on giving. She says that the downside of Obama's internet juggernaut is that "bloggers" use his platform to plant "reverse racism" (huh?) on his website. But "God love" John McCain for trying to use the internets because he's of a different generation.

Monica? Maybe sometime you'd like to talk to my dad, who is six months older than McCain. Call him on Skype anytime, except when he's busy photoshopping. Geez.

On The McLaughlin Group, host John McLaughlin asked his panel their view on the pundit-driven "come from behind" Hillary Clinton win in the New Hampshire. Monica Crowley takes the cake for her analogy that is offensive on so many levels. Nothing like painting Hillary Clinton as a unhinged, dangerous killer for winning an primary.

McLaughlin: "What did you think of Hillary's performance?"

Crowley:"Well, you know, she's like Glenn Close at the end of Fatal Attraction - you think she's dead and then she just bolts upright in the tub!"

Is that so? Well, I don't think it would be out of line to say that Ms. Crowley is like Ann Coulter, except not so much "class," ahem.

Thanks to Nicole for her assistance.

Tonight, on the syndicated McLaughlin Group political talk show, Lawrence O'Donnell, senior MSNBC political analyst, claimed to know that name--and it is, according to him, top White House mastermind Karl Rove. Here is the transcript of O'Donnell's remarks: "What we're going to go to now in the next stage, when Matt Cooper's e-mails, within Time Magazine, are handed over to the grand jury, the ultimate revelation, probably within the week of who his source is.

"And I know I'm going to get pulled into the grand jury for saying this but the source of...for Matt Cooper was Karl Rove, and that will be revealed in this document dump that Time magazine's going to do with the grand jury."

It was reported on last night by Kos and others. I'll have the video up later tonight.

Talk Left goes into the legalese of the case, but suggests the reason for the Miller/Cooper actions is to make a perjury case.

"What we're going to go to now in the next stage, when Matt Cooper's emails-within Time Magazine, uh, are handed over to the grand jury is the ultimate revelation, probably within the week of who his source is.

MCLAUGHLIN: Well, the New York Times has accurately reported my reaction to a report along those lines. A subordinate came to me and said that Mr. Bolton was seeking transfer of one of our employees, and I objected to that, and said that we wouldn't do it, that it was not on, no way, end of story. And that's essentially the report that was in the paper and that is accurate.

BLITZER: So he did try to get somebody removed because he disagreed with the assessment, and you said, that's not going to happen?

MCLAUGHLIN: Correct.

On "The McLaughlin Group," Pat Buchanan stated that Newsweek should be tried for sedition for its Periscope article on Koran abuse. He also responded to the shocked questions of the other panelists by saying that all the Abu Ghraib stories were seditious as well.

I discovered this info on a comment from Daily Kos. Buchanan has been unraveling more than ususal "on the air" ever since the Terri Schiavo case began.
