“Roger Stone” on The Daily Caller

Don’t tell Roger Stone that Libertarian hopeful Gary Johnson can’t make a difference in November. (more)

In a recent blog post, National Review’s Jim Geraghty dismissed former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson’s Libertarian Party presidential bid. “Sometimes, a candidate just isn’t any good,” he concluded. (more)

Americans who favor the legalization of marijuana and same-sex marriage, and also want a balanced federal budget and a more restrained foreign policy, now appear to have an alternative to the two major parties in 2012. (more)

Last Thursday, Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the House Judiciary Committee about the fatal gun-running scheme known as “Fast and Furious.” The previous Friday, Holder had conveniently dumped 1,400 pages of Department of Justice (DOJ) internal emails that contradicted the DOJ’s February letter to Congress denying that the DOJ’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had “sanctioned or otherwise knowingly allowed the sale of assault weapons” to suspicious people. Holder was even forced to withdraw the letter from Congress due to its blatant lies. As it turns out, not only did the DOJ put 2,000 high-powered guns directly into the hands of Mexican drug cartel agents, but cartel agents used two of these rifles to gun down Border Patrol Special Agent Brian Terry. (more)

Veteran Republican strategist Roger Stone says a serious libertarian third-party candidate could pose a “great danger” to the GOP’s hopes of winning back the White House in 2012. (more)

Some fashion tips for the well-dressed male Daily Caller reader: (more)

One thing Donald Trump’s flirtation with a presidential bid showed us is that you have to take Obama on frontally to compete with him. The John McCain tactic of praising Obama as a great American and great senator “with whom I disagree” is a loser. You’ve got to call him out as what he is — a fraud and a disaster. He doesn’t understand economics, has no business or free-enterprise experience, and is spending billions in Libya and Afghanistan without having a goal other than re-election. (more)

Anthony Weiner is a crafty and worthy adversary — an unrepentant lefty who is usually a savvy media player. Today, however, he’s his own worst enemy as he tries to both deflect attention and avoid committing a crime — something my colleagues should have learned how to do before Watergate sunk our greatest president in 1974. If I can borrow from SNL’s music video, Weiner’s d@#k is in a box. I’ve been there too and there’s a way out if he moves quickly to embrace Stone’s Rules. (more)

There is no excuse for a well-dressed gent to wilt in the warm months. Here is The Daily Caller’s list of the good-taste must-haves for this spring and summer. (more)

“Of course I’d release it. In two seconds I’d release it. If I decide to run, I’ll absolutely release it,” Donald Trump said in an interview with The Daily Caller Thursday, referring to his own birth certificate. “I have it right on my desk. I have it right here, right now, right this minute. I am literally looking at it. Because, based on this I said, ‘do me a favor, get me my birth certificate.’ I have my original birth certificate right here.” (more)

As one who knows a little about sex and politics and the way the establishment manipulates the system, I must say the sex charges against WikiLeaker Julian Assange sure sound like trumped up bullshit to me. A lady who admitted sex was consensual said he didn’t us a condom and that was why she called police. The other chick is fishy too. She went to his hotel room and was drinking heavily. This is a snatch and grab. (more)

Christmas is just around the corner, and in honor of the occasion The Daily Caller’s offices have turned into a “Winter Wonderland,” complete with a tree and lights. We’re making our lists and checking them twice because even if Santa Claus decides we’ve been too naughty, hopefully mommy and daddy will come to the rescue. (Office coordinator Laura Baños wants a “Le Creuset Demi teakettle in Caribbean or royal blue;” relevant persons take note). But in the immortal words of Mariah Carey, “all [TheDC] wants for Christmas is you,” which, at the end of the day, makes for a kind of short list. So to fill it out, we decided to call around town and find out what’s on some other people’s Christmas wish lists. We trust you’ll find the answers as amusing as we do. (more)

Donald Trump would make a great president. Unabashedly pro-American, the toughest business negotiator in the country and with name ID and charisma greater than any of those currently contemplating the race, Trump would bring excitement to the 2012 race. Stoutly pro-tax cut and libertarian on social issues like abortion, Trump is a Republican with the business know-how to turn the country’s economy around. In recent weeks Trump has been urged to run and has said he is considering it. (more)

Tonight at 7 p.m., New York Attorney General and Democratic candidate for governor Andrew Cuomo will debate “angry as hell” Republican candidate Carl Paladino — and Charles Barron of the Freedom Party, and Kristin Davis of the Anti-Prohibition Party, and Howie Hawkins of the Green Party, and Warren Redlich of the Libertarian Party, and even Jimmy McMillan of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party. (more)

Academy Award winner Alex Gibney’s film “Client 9,” a propaganda whitewash of the facts surrounding New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s fall from power, took another beating last week when gorgeous call girl Irma Nici said she had participated in multiple trysts with the disgraced former governor. Nici confirmed Spitzer’s penchant for wearing black knee socks while having sex. (more)

I interviewed Roger Stone, master of the political arts, in October, 2008, as things were looking pretty sorry for my Republicans. (more)
