Recent reporting

While she can and does use aggressive language toward liberals, she is less of a cheerleader for the right than, for example, Rush Limbaugh. She also advises caution in opposition research and campaigning, after the arrest of four investigative journalists, who had been involved in the expose of ACORN, alleged to have interfered with the telephone system at the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (Democratic Party (United States)|D-Louisiana (U.S. state)|Louisiana). [2] "This is neither a time to joke nor a time to recklessly accuse Democrats/liberals of setting this up — nor a time to whine about media coverage double standards...This is neither a time to joke nor a time to recklessly accuse Democrats/liberals of setting this up — nor a time to whine about media coverage double standards."

When others were hailing the special election victory of Sen. Scott Brown (Republican Party (United States)|R-Massachusetts (U.S. state)|Massachusetts) as the start of a Republican landslide, while she continued to attack the Obama Administration, she also warned Republicans not to fall victim to what she called McCain Regression Syndrome. Brown, immediately after his election, began to record reelection messages for McCain. She wrote, "Savor the irony: After a career spent bashing the right flank of the party, McCain is now clinging to its coattails to save his incumbent hide.

And pay attention to the hidden, more troubling irony: While he runs to the right to protect his seat, McCain's political machine is working across the country to install liberal and establishment Republicans to secure his legacy." [3]
