Thousands of articles have been published at The Daily Caller since we launched on Jan. 11. So we’ve compiled a sampling of a few of our favorites.
They include: news articles revealing never before reported spending practices at the Republican National Committee and questionable car privileges given to senior Obama White House advisers.
Then there’s former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin telling us — with tongue planted firmly in cheek — that Politico reporters are “puppy-kicking, chain-smoking porn producers.” Other features include Tucker’s debut piece on White House gate-crasher Carlos Allen, Jeff Winkler attending a machine gun shooting extravaganza in Kentucky with Rand Paul and Matt Labash giving out dubious advice.
And don’t miss our interviews with people like former NFL football coach Mike Ditka and former Bush adviser Karl Rove.
