Ladies and gentleman, your GOP frontrunner

You can bet even this was focus grouped by The Anchorman’s campaign.

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…

Bob Dole killed more people than Bob Dole

Even when nasty and striking an oddly unsettling model pose Bob Dole makes me laugh (make that, Because he’s nasty and strikes an oddly unsettling model pose).

If you’re not sick of Tim Tebow yet you will be

THROWS FOR 3:16 YARDS… Though I’ve never been a big fan of proselytizing jocks Tebow seems like a decent enough fellow — I’ll take him over that asshole Ben Roethlisberger any day. It’s the Tebow acolytes I can’t stand, those who’ve turned him into a litmus test for their Christian persecution complex. Makes you wonder [...]

Government doesn’t get any bigger than this

Rick Santorum reiterated Sunday that states have the right to ban contraceptives if they wish while Newt Gingrich said today he opposes all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest.   Filed under: 2012, abortion, far right fanatics, GOP, Santorum

Who will get the coveted Orly Taitz endorsement?

Why would anyone want the endorsement of a unhinged birther?
Good question.

Let this be my last post about disingenuous buffoon Herman Cain

It’s sad that the failure of Herman Cain’s campaign will be blamed on his sexual peccadilloes. I would’ve preferred the embodiment of talk radio’s wet dream been disqualified due to his uncomfortably long embrace of stupidity. “We need a leader, not a reader.” Damn elitist multi-taskers! Earlier tonight Cain delivered what was to be a [...]

Judge Tea Party by the candidates they support

At various points the Tea Party has vaulted Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain into front-runner status. Not a very good batting average. There’s a price to be paid when you confuse talk show hosts with leaders. Each of the aforementioned candidates was “legitimized” by talk radio and each, to varying degrees, [...]

The party of Lincoln narrowly supports Abe over treasonous slave owner

It’s half past 1971 Mississippi-time, but don’t tell that to the state’s Republican voters who, recent poll results show, are still fairly divided on whether Tom and Helen Willis should be allowed to marry. [In] a hypothetical match up between Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, Lincoln would win out 55-28.  That’s largely because of Lincoln’s [...]

The other GOP flip-flopper

Three years ago, Newt Gingrich shared a love seat with Nancy Pelosi demanding the government take action on climate change. Now he wants to eliminate the EPA.

How long will the GOP suicide pact continue?

Newt Gingrich? Come on, Republicans. Newt’s an unbearably smug relic whose personal baggage should keep him out of the Oval Office. Ditching your cancer-stricken wife for a younger woman isn’t a youthful indiscretion — it’s the calling card of an … Continue reading

The skeletons in Newt Gingrich’s closet

With Newt soaring to a virtual first-place tie in the latest poll of GOP voters we’re sure to hear plenty more about this sordid chapter from his past. Jackie Gingrich told the Washington Post on January 3, 1985, “He walked … Continue reading

Mitt Romney believes his own bullshit … or does he?

“What can you say to Republicans to persuade them that things you say in the campaign are rooted in something deeper than the fact you are running for office?” he was asked. “I think people know me pretty well … People understand I’m a man of steadiness and constancy,” Romney said.   Filed under: 2012, [...]
