“Manchurian Candidate” Huntsman Ad Maker Revealed: Martin Eisenstadt

---

The rumors are true.  Yes it was I, Martin Eisenstadt, who was behind the seemingly anti-Huntsman Manchurian Candidate ad. By insulting Huntsman as multilingual, respected abroad and compassionate to children, the ad actually served to discredit the Paul campaign and its supporters as petty and dirty while highlighting John Huntsman’s, my new boss, strengths.   For [...]

Huntsman Steals Eisenstadt’s Catch Phrase “Country First”

---

In gearing up for his third-place finish in New Hampshire, Jon Huntsman’s campaign appropriated the slogan “Country First” that I first coined.  None other than the New York Times has reported that this is the slogan that Huntsman is running on, and his turtle-necked crowds are cheering.  In fact, if you - like Huntsman - [...]

RIP Kim Jung Il: Dictator, madman, foodie.

---

I know the tendency in conservative circles is to dance on the grave of deceased Communist dictators.  (I fondly remember then-House Minority Whip Newt Gingrich buying a round of drinks at the Hawk’n'Dove in Jan. 1990 the night Nic Ceausescu fell to a firing squad).  That said, it’s still human nature to pause for a [...]

Weiner’s Baby Momma Delivers Kaddafi News to Hillary

---

I was just watching CNN coverage of the death of my former client Moammar Gaddafi when I nearly choked on my bowl of Ben’s chili.  Who do I see delivering a blackberry with the news of Momo’s death to Hillary Clinton, but none other than my old pal Anthony Weiner’s baby momma, his wife Huma [...]

A lobbyist’s nightmare: Kaddafi Stiffs Me on His Bill

---

As news breaks that Moammar Kaddafi has been killed fighting defiantly to the end, I turn on CNN to see that the world is rejoicing, and there is dancing in the streets from the shores of Tripoli, to the halls of the West Wing, to Carla Bruni’s birthing room in Paris.  (Mind you, I also [...]

Lessons James O’Keefe Didn’t Learn from Martin Eisenstadt

---

I was saddened to read in my frenemy Arianna Huffington’s little blog that my old protege James O’Keefe has been outed on his latest sting.  It turns out his latest “investigation” involved calling liberal think tanks and trying to goad them into accepting hedge fund money in order to pay for self-serving liberal policy papers. [...]

In Defense of Plagiarism: Why Scott Brown Did the Write Thing

---

As someone who helped Scott Brown get elected to the Senate (yes, it was I who leaked his nude Cosmo photos, thus clinching his win), I feel it is incumbent on me to come to his defense now.  Sen. Brown stands accused of having plagiarized Elizabeth Dole for a short passage on his website.  Instead [...]

James O’Keefe’s Real Motivation for NPR Sting: Defending Martin Eisenstadt

---

Hats off to my old protege James O’Keefe for blowing the lid off of NPR’s cozy relationship with terrorists, latte drinkers and the pointy-headed liberal elites.  As a result of James’ undercover sting, it looks like Vivian Schiller and NPR’s glory days sucking at the trough of government largess are finally done, and the budget [...]

A Leak is not a Rumor, but they don’t teach that at dog sledding competitions
