The west coast is definitely not a good place to be a Republican right now. First, Oregon Republican Senator Gordon Smith ran a TV ad trying to attach himself Obama’s coattails. Then California’s Governator made comments distancing himself from Republican proposals. Now this — Fox News reports several Republican candidates in the state of Washington are taking advantage […]
Who says that CSPAN isn’t the new comedy channel? During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Steve Cohen tried to get Cheney’s chief of staff to clarify to which branch of the government the Vice President belongs: http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/06/quote_of_the_day_vice_presiden.php
On a McCain campaign conference call Thursday morning, Republican Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas accused Obama of being all talk and no action when it comes to working across the aisle: John McCain’s a maverick. He’s fought for a bipartisan fashion. I think that the biggest thing I’ve seen from Barack Obama is a willingness, […]
Conservative radio talk-show host Hugh Hewitt got a wee bit carried away on his Wednesday show: I’m still trying to find two tickets to the Ohio State-USC game. And none of the USC people will give up their tickets to me. I’d pay fair price. They — they know Ohio State’s gonna slaughter the Trojans. […]
McCain’s website now features a “cool” “new” video game called Pork Invaders (you can play it, below). Unfortunately, as Wonkette says, the game looks older than John himself. And the game was clearly “borrowed” from somewhere else, and somewhat sloppily — all the aliens use the same pig image, even though they have different point […]
A group calling themselves the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is trying to get an initiative on the November ballot to name a local sewage plant after President G. W. Bush. They call it “an appropriate honor for a truly unique president,” but please don’t ask me what kind of cheek in which they […]
In what is simultaneously the height of irony and hypocrisy, Karl Rove is attacking the NY Times for an article in which it named a CIA agent who was involved in the interrogation of terrorist Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. Recall that Karl Rove played a central role in the outing of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame […]
Bush says the surge in Iraq is working. McCain says the surge is working. The media parrots these sound bites. But a report released by the General Accounting Office says otherwise. What a concept: someone actually took the goals the Bush administration laid out in January 2007 for the “surge”, and one-by-one analyzed them to see if […]
Mike Erickson is a Republican running for congress in Oregon. He has sent out campaign materials stressing his pro-life beliefs. Except that in 2001, when a woman he was dating got pregnant, he gave her $300 and drove her to an abortion clinic, dumping her there. It is especially delicious when the hypocrisy of a […]
“John McCain and Barack Obama are bickering, and you know what they’re bickering about? What to do when they catch Osama bin Laden. That’s right. Obama wants to bring him to trial, but John McCain wants to shoot him. Both really good ideas. And I said to myself, guys, guys, how about somebody finding him first? Let’s do […]
It seems that all that Karl Rove has left are childish personal slurs. At a breakfast with Republican insiders yesterday, he described Barack Obama as: Even if you never met him, you know this guy. He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the […]
