Commentary Today - it's "one stop shopping" for political commentary
I just stumbled on to this site. It makes reading the daily commentaries a whole lot easier. I hope you find it useful. :-)

Commentary Today

The web site links to the daily columns of all the well known political columnists. It's pretty handy! There are a lot more columnists on the "right" side than on the "left" - and Dick Morris and William Safire are listed as lefties :eyes: - but it's still a very useful site and it's updated daily.



Also, I posted a a different link in the lounge earlier this evening. Here's the info again, in case you missed my earlier post. This is a great site!

American Rhetoric

From the site:

"Index to and growing database of 5000+ full text, audio and video (streaming) versions of public speeches, sermons, legal proceedings, lectures, debates, interviews, other recorded media events, and a declaration or two."

"200+ short audio clips from well-known speeches, movies, sermons, popular songs, and sensational media events by famous (and infamous) politicians, actors, preachers, athletes, singers, and other noteworthy personalities."

"Complete index to and partial text and audio database of the 100 most significant American political speeches of the 20th century, according to 137 leading scholars of American public address ..."

"Full text, audio and video database of some 80 Hollywood movie speeches, as selected by audiences of American Rhetoric."

1. Interesting....thanks!
Ann Coulter, one of the greatest columnists? I don't think so...

2. LOL!
Well, if you noticed ... in my post, I didn't describe them as the "greatest political columnists" - I described them as "well known political columnists" ;-)

I don't care what the web site says - there was no way I was going to use the word "greatest" when Coulter's face adorns the top of their page! :P

3. Thank for Posting
I'm familiar with the site and actually like the fact that it includes both liberal and RW view points. Doesn't hurt to know what the enemy camp is pushing on th public. Despite that feeling, I never read Coulter commentaries but do read others who are not so vile and revolting.
