edward Morrissey (born April 3, 1963) is an American conservative blogger, columnist, motivational speaker, and talk show host.[1] He goes by the nickname Captain Ed and he lives in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota.[2] He wrote his original blog, "Captain's Quarters", from October 2003 to February 2008. He now works full-time as a blogger for Hot Air.[1][3] and writes a column for The Week. He also participates in Bloggingheads.tv[4]

His opinion articles have appeared in the New York Sun, theNew York Post, and the Daily Standard.[1]

Background[

Morrissey was born April 3, 1963.[5] He is based in Minnesota's Twin Cities and is part of the "Northern Alliance Radio Network", with ties to Power Line and Hugh Hewitt. At age seven, Morrissey moved to Cerritos, California in 1970, and he graduated from Cerritos High School in 1980.[6]

Captain's Quarters[

Morrissey started his blog in October 2003, basing its name on his nickname "Captain" Ed. ("Captain" is "just a nickname", not a rank.[2]) It focused largely on politics, from a conservative viewpoint. The blog grew in popularity and readership. By 2007, the National Republican Senatorial Committee was calling Captains Quarters one of the five "best-read national conservative bloggers."[7]

People who have written "guest posts" on Captain's Quarters include Senator John McCain,[8] Congressman Duncan Hunter,[9] and Senator James Inhofe.[10]

Adscam coverage:{:(style="margin-right:0.25em"):}:[edit:{]}:

In 2005, a Canadian judge issued a gag order that barred Canadian media from covering the hearings of the Gomery commission, which was investigating the "Sponsorship scandal" (better known as "Adscam"), a scandal involving allegations that the Liberal Party of Canada had been funneling government funds through Canadian advertising firms. A source in the Canadian legal media – still publicly unknown – circumvented the gag order, feeding the details of the Gomery hearings to Morrissey, who published them on the blog.[11]

As a result, Morrissey's blog became for a few weeks one of Canada's most-viewed news sources (his traffic rising at the height of the story to 400,000 visitors a day, mostly Canadians, from his usual 30-40,000). Morrissey's coverage was considered by some to have been a key factor in the victory of the Conservative in the subsequent national elections.[12]

In other media[

In April 2007, Morrissey left his job as manager of a call center to take up a "full-time position with Blog Talk Radio as Political Director."[13] Morrissey hosts a daily internet talk show, contributes to one of the company's blogs, and leads outreach and development for the company among politicians, candidates, and political bloggers. He left his full-time position at Blog Talk Radio when he joined Hot Air, in early 2008.

Morrissey is one of the few media pundits to have been named as both the "Best Person in the World" and then the "Worst Person in the World" by Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. He has said in response that he is "very amused."[14]

Hot Air[

On March 1, 2008,[15] Morrissey became a full-time blogger, joining the pseudonymous Allahpundit at Hot Air, a group blog founded by Michelle Malkin. He also hosts the daily Ed Morrissey Show.

Hot Air is a conservative American political blog.[1] It is written by the pseudonymous Allahpundit, Ed Morrissey, John Sexton, and Jazz Shaw.

Hot Air was founded by Michelle Malkin, a conservative author and blogger, in 2006, taking over hotair.com from a defunct personal website. Although Malkin served as the publisher and CEO of Hot Air, she exercised little editorial control over the site's various commentators. Morrissey, a Roman Catholic, is the more socially conservative (though gay-friendly) of the two current bloggers, whereas Allahpundit is more libertarian and an atheist. Hot Air carried posts from a selection of conservative and libertarian bloggers in its "Green Room," which closed in May 2014.[2][3] In February 2010, Salem Communications purchased Hot Air.[4]

History:{:(style="margin-right:0.25em"):}:[edit:{]}:

Malkin launched Hot Air on April 24, 2006. The site's original logo showed an angry man videotaping himself while yelling at the lens. At the time of its founding, the site was to primarily feature "video-blogging" by Malkin, but this was eventually phased out in favor the more traditional written blog format due to lengthy production requirements for "video-blogging."

When founding Hot Air, Malkin stated an intention to provide "content and analysis you can't get anywhere else on a daily basis–both on the blog and in our original video features."[citation needed] In 2008, Malkin recruited Ed Morrissey as AllahP's co-blogger. At that time Morrissey was a full-time, profit-making blogger at Captain's Quarters, which he folded in order to join the Hot Air team (though its archives are still available). Morrissey maintains the podcast that started at his original website ("The Ed Morrissey Show"). This is promoted at and embedded on the Hot Air website.

In 2008, Hot Air added a separate site-within-the site called "The Green Room," inviting select professional and free-lance bloggers to contribute their posts. The Green Room provided bloggers with an opportunity to have their work distributed to the Hot Air audience. Green Room posts were often "promoted" to Hot Air's main page, in a fashion similar to that of other major political news/commentary sites such as the Daily Kos and RedState. The Green Room was closed in March 2014.[2]

Full-time bloggers:{:(style="margin-right:0.25em"):}:[edit:{]}:

Allahpundit:{:(style="margin-right:0.25em"):}:[edit:{]}:

Main article: Allahpundit

Allahpundit's first site, Allah Is in the House was founded on August 27, 2003. The author wrote in the persona of Allah, using similar language to that of terrorist organizations but assuming the viewpoint of the God such organizations follow. (The author distinguished between the viewpoint being satirized and that of mainstream Muslims, and provided a disclaimer to the effect that his moniker was not, in fact, "anti-Muslim," as casual visitors sometimes assumed.)[citation needed] The blog specialized in written and Photoshop-based political satire. After a hiatus in May 2004, the blog reemerged, continuing its satiric nature while largely abandoning the "Allah voice." After October 2004 the blog was updated more sporadically, and the web address allahpundit.com was eventually abandoned. After occasional entries at allahakbar.blogspot.com, Allahpundit shut down his individual blogging operations altogether.

In September 2004, Allahpundit was a key player in debunking the Killian documents hoax. Mary Mapes, producer of 60 Minutes, blamed Allahpundit and others for "working anonymously in what appeared to be huge numbers, in unison, to destroy the Bush-Guard story."[5] Largely due to this controversy, the website was among the Top Blogs Cited in Political Postings for the 2004 United States presidential election.[6]

The text of posts from Allahpundit's old Allah Is in the House blog are archived at the Internet Archive, although the image files that include AllahP's Photoshopped pictures are not.[7] AllahPundit has stated that he is unlikely to do PhotoShops in the future, due to his grueling writing/posting schedule.

On 3-August-2022, Allahpundit announced on Twitter that his last day at Hot Air would be 2-September-2022.[8]

Ed Morrissey:{:(style="margin-right:0.25em"):}:[edit:{]}:

Main article: Ed Morrissey

Morrissey's previous blog, "Captain's Quarters", was very popular among conservatives.[9] He may be best known for helping expose the Canadian "Adscam" scandal in 2005. When Canadians were barred from reporting on the Gomery commission's hearings, Morrissey published detailed reports on his blog, which became a key source of information about "Adscam" for Canadians. This episode imparted some bipartisan "street cred" to Morrissey within the libertarian community in the U.S. and in Canada, and elevated his profile.[citation needed]

Viewpoints:{:(style="margin-right:0.25em"):}:[edit:{]}:

Allahpundit's prominence on Hot Air is a contentious issue for some of the site's most conservative readers. He is often criticized for his comments and posts promoting atheism, such as once telling a critical commenter "Your children will be atheists",[10] as well as for his frequent criticisms of former Governor Sarah Palin and some "hard-right" figures. Allahpundit is also known for his frequent posts on pop culture, including various viral videos and internet memes, and his self-deprecating humor (he often refers to himself, for example, as a "beta male"). The Daily Show host Jon Stewart cited Allahpundit as one of several bloggers he reads for his show-prep.[11] The fact that Allahpundit's appearance and geographical location is unknown to the public is often used as an in-joke, with website commentators offering deliberately farcical and imaginative explanations. During the Michelle Malkin era, Malkin received significant pushback for keeping "Allahpundit" on her payroll, particularly from the more socially conservative readers at Hot Air.

Michelle Malkin posted infrequently on Hot Air during the time she owned the site, but she was occasionally referenced there as "the Boss" (now "Boss Emeritus"). Both Allahpundit and Morrissey publicly disagreed with Malkin's take on the affairs of the day in Hot Air posts, and each has political positions that are significantly different from hers. The team also appears to be fairly independent of the socially conservative Salem Communications, as a spate of gay-friendly posts — and endorsement by Morrissey of the group GOProud — seems to attest.[12] Editorial cartoonist Sarjex of the GayPatriot blog has satirized the controversy by drawing a LGBT version of HotAir,[13] using bright pink colors and cheesecake images of Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

Nick Catoggio, who previously used the pseudonym Allahpundit, is a blogger and former senior editor[1] for the American political news and commentary website Hot Air from its founding in 2006 through his resignation on September 2, 2022. After moving to The Dispatch, Catoggio will write under his own name.[2]

Hot Air:{:(style="margin-right:0.25em"):}:[edit:{]}:

The persona of Allahpundit first appeared through a parody blog, Allah Is In the House, which rose in popularity circa 2003 by being referenced throughout the conservative and anti-jihadist blogosphere. In March and April 2006,[3][4] Allahpundit guest-blogged for Michelle Malkin before becoming the most active contributor to Malkin's Hot Air.

Hot Air is widely referenced by political bloggers and news reporters[5] and Allahpundit's commentary has become a reliable source for those seeking a Libertarian-conservative take on the political news of the day—such as former The Daily Show host Jon Stewart, who cited Allahpundit as one of the bloggers he read for show preparation.[6] In February 2010, Salem Communications purchased Hot Air from Michelle Malkin and it was said Allahpundit and his co-blogger, Ed Morrissey, were a central part of the deal.[7] Salem is known for its social conservatism, but Hot Air has maintained its more social libertarian tone. On August 3, 2022, Allahpundit announced on Twitter that his last day at Hot Air would be September 2, 2022.

Viewpoints[

Allahpundit's prominence on Hot Air has been a contentious issue for some of the site's ardent Christian conservative readers, as he is often criticized by his own readership for his atheism and for his frequent disagreement with "hard-right" political opinion, especially on social issues. But his viewpoints are not easily characterized; for instance, he is in favor of same-sex marriage[8] but does not support amnesty for illegal immigrants.[9][10] Allahpundit's overall writing tone is one of conversational, deadpan humor, and he is known particularly for his self-deprecating tone and general lack of enthusiasm, for which he has earned the nickname "Eeyore" or "Eeyorepundit."[11]

In September 2004, Allahpundit was key to debunking of the Killian documents controversy, in which 60 Minutes anchor Dan Rather aired a segment about documents purporting to prove that George W. Bush went AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard in 1973 - documents ultimately revealed to be forgeries. Mary Mapes, producer of 60 Minutes, blamed Allahpundit, among others, for "working anonymously in what appeared to be huge numbers, in unison, to destroy the Bush-Guard story."[12] Largely due to this controversy, the website was among the Top Blogs Cited in Political Postings for the 2004 United States presidential election.[13]

Allahpundit's moniker harkens back to his original blog, Allah Is In The House, which was a highly irreverent parody of "a jihadist's version of Allah" and a way to vent frustration about geopolitics in a post-9/11 political climate. He did note on his original blog a disclaimer to the effect that his moniker was not "anti-Muslim" and that he differentiated between extremists and peaceful practicing Muslims. Despite his relative fame, Allahpundit has managed to remain anonymous; "in an era when most bloggers treat their names like precious branding manna, his insistence on keeping a pseudonym has an anachronistic, early 2000s feel to it."[14]

In October 2021, Allahpundit expressed agreement with Bill Maher's criticism of Donald Trump's false claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election and his ongoing attacks against the results and integrity of elections, saying "[Maher is right], even if Republicans don't want to hear it. And it's a show of integrity on his part that he felt obliged to drop this truth bomb at the very moment that he's gaining right-wing fans for his anti-woke commentary."[15]

Allah Is In The House Blog:{:(style="margin-right:0.25em"):}:[edit:{]}:

Allah Is In the House began on August 27, 2003. The author wrote using the name of Allah, using similar language to that of terrorist organizations but assuming the viewpoint of Allah as interpreted by mainstream Muslims. The blog specialized in written and Photoshop-based political satire. After a hiatus in May 2004, the blog reemerged, continuing its satiric nature while largely abandoning the "Allah voice". However, after October 2004 the blog stopped being regularly updated and abandoned the web address allahpundit.com without explanation. After occasional entries at allahakbar.blogspot.com, the blog shut down altogether.

The blog's approach and humor caused it to become mocked days after its inception, though it was cited by many of the top conservative bloggers[16][17][18][19] and many blog-sympathetic writers [20][21] of the time including Roger L. Simon, who wrote, "These days I learn more from Allahpundit, where I found this link, than I ever do from Meet the Press."[22] Posts from Allahpundit's old Allah Is In The House blog are archived at the Internet Archive, although the image files are not.[23]

Ranking:{:(style="margin-right:0.25em"):}:[edit:{]}:

"Hot Air is one of the biggest, most influential conservative sites on the Web" and has been since its 2006 founding.[24] In 2007, Michelle Malkin credited AllahPundit with "turn[ing] the site into a must-read," thus causing it to rise in popularity "from nowhere to a top-30 site on Technorati's Top 100 list."[25] To this date, Hot Air regularly places in the top ten rankings of politically conservative commentary websites.[26]
