Oh, Yes, Blogging!
Sorry I’ve been gone, guys – it’s been a hard past couple of weeks (2L year, a breakup, that night I went out drinking with Bart Stupak and bet him that the House of Representatives would never be so stupid as to effectively ban all private insurers from voluntarily covering…
Pennsylvania GOP puts hammer and sickle in the ‘O’ in Obama
Perhaps the Pennsylvania Republican Party has been watching too much Glenn Beck. An ad that links to the state party’s Web site is implying that President Barack Obama is not just a socialist, but an old-style communist, with a graphic that features the Soviet hammer and sickle inside the ‘O’…
Specter slams GOP, says public option ‘gaining momentum’
Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter, until last April a Republican, has pulled out the jams in his criticisms of his former party, telling Fox News Sunday that the GOP has become a “party of obstructionism.” But that obstructionism won’t stop substantial health care reform from being passed, Specter implied, saying…
The GOP: Not Good At Internets
The new GOP.com launched today. Within the past twelve hours, they’ve managed to post all the admin info on the site and launch Michael Steele’s blog, which is not-at-all-insultingly-named “What Up?”, because Michael Steele is apparently your black neighbor on an 80s sitcom. But they’re winning at Twitter!…

The IQ of the base of the GOP has dropped even lower than we thought
As one of the diarists at my pad said, this guy makes Joe the Plumber look like a Nobel Laureate. I mean, Jeebus H. Christ on a cracker…has this poor gentleman had a severe head injury or something? There has to be something organically awry with him. I know we…
The MSM ‘discovers’ fringe paranoia news outlet WorldNetDaily
In an unintentionally hilarious article by Peter Wallsten in the Los Angeles Times, “Some fear GOP is being carried to the extreme,” we learn just how out of touch the MSM is about the crazies, bigots and wingnut conspiracy theorists that write and hang out at Joseph Farah’s WorldNetDaily. I…
Lynn ‘Great White Hope for the GOP’ Jenkins “apologizes”
Note to Kansas U.S. Representative Lynn Jenkins… When you say something as ridiculous as this: "Republicans are struggling right now to find the great white hope," Jenkins said. "I suggest to any of you who are concerned about that, who are Republican, there are some great young Republican minds in…
Kansas U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins – the GOP needs a ‘great white hope’
Boy, we have seen the racist dog whistle become quite audible these days, but when called out these Rethugs still find a way to deny that’s what’s going on. U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins offered encouragement to conservatives at a town hall forum that the Republican Party would embrace a “great…
The GOP Has Moved On To 2002
Michael Steele is set to declare today that the era of the GOP apologizing for its mistakes is over…and I suppose he’d be the person to do that, because he was the only Republican even making an attempt to apologize for anything, and most of his apologies were the same…
