Move over, Pat Sajak: In the last week we’ve seen “High School High” star Jon Lovitz and Beach Boys keyboardist Bruce Johnston (who replaced Brian Wilson after the group was [...]

Indiana Republicans choose talk show host over statesman
Mourdock, who had been criticized as overly partisan by Lugar and others, defended his approach Wednesday. He said he believes bipartisanship should consist of Democrats coming over to the GOP way of thinking.… Read More →
The real dividers
President Obama has been criticized for rarely engaging the county on matters of race but, seeing the nasty reaction from GOP presidential candidates to his benign comments on the Trayvon Martin case, it’s easy to understand why he tends to abstain. “Is the president suggesting if it had been a white who had been shot, [...]
Manufactured outrage du jour
Two ridiculous examples of fabricated indignation from the right: 1.) Last night at an Obama fundraiser Robert DeNiro quipped, ”Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?” Mr. Gingrich was not amused, demanding the president apologize. “It is exactly wrong, it divides the country,” the [...]
If only he had gotten Larry the Cable Guy’s endorsement
Apparently Jeff Foxworthy, who campaigned with Mitt Romney in the days leading up to the Redneck Belt primaries, is a bit too uptown for Republicans in Alabama and Mississippi.

Noted & Quoted, sane conservative edition
George F. Will was underwhelmed by the GOP establishment’s muted reaction to the Rush Limbaugh imbroglio. “Well, it would have been nice if [GOP leaders] shared that with the larger public,” Will said. “Instead, Mr. Boehner said that Rush’s language was inappropriate. Using a salad fork for your entree — that is inappropriate. Rick Santorum [...]
America’s (worst) sheriff
The allegedly crooked and definitely racist sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona was an honored guest at the recent GOP presidential debate in Tucson. Rick Perry sought and received his endorsement. Now Sheriff Joe Arpaio is claiming there is “probable cause” that Obama’s birth certificate was forged. That requires an unfathomable conspiracy but, as we’ve learned, [...]
The question the GOP fears most
Which Candidate Would You Rather Have a Beer With? We hear this question every election, though, for me, there’s never been an obvious answer (save for Bob Dole). I dare you to find one person who’d choose to down a cold one with Romney or …
The problem with constituencies
For years the GOP has placated the religious right, even as Christian fundamentalists have steered the movement to the fringe. On a national level, at least, that constituency has been heard but not seen. Sure, George W. Bush spoke openly of his faith …
Rick Santorum may actually be the GOP nominee
Mitt Romney was raised in Michigan, where his father served two terms as governor. Despite that, two recent polls of Michigan GOP voters show him trailing Rick Santorum. If Santorum holds on to win the Wolverine State primary then Romney’s inevitability is officially no more. I don’t have a dog (and I mean dog) in … Continue reading →

Sarah Palin’s legacy
Every Republican is a victim. According to a former South Carolina GOP chairman who endorsed Rick Perry, it wasn’t the governor’s poor debating performances that did him in.
“We were victims of a drive-by shooting by the liberal pres…
