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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The twin cities of Minneapolis / St. Paul are hosting the Republican National Convention this summer, but they are having a big problem. They can’t find enough volunteers to work at the convention. In response, they are putting out the word that party affiliation is not important. “This is not about being partisan; it’s about […]
Two weeks ago we reported on the strange goings on in New York concerning the congressional seat formerly held by Vito Fossella (which incidentally is the only New York City congressional seat held by a Republican). Things were pretty strange then, but they just got even stranger. If I were a tele-evangelist, I’d claim that […]
The Bush administration founded the Arab language TV station Alhurra and radio network Sawa, to provide “an American perspective on world events and counter the wave of global criticism that had been building against the Bush administration since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.” We have funded their studios in Springfield, Virginia, with around $500 […]
Democrat John Kroger won the Oregon Democratic primary to become their candidate for Attorney General, but in an interesting turn of events, he is also the Republican candidate! Because the Republicans couldn’t find anyone willing to run for the office, election officials were left with counting write-in votes, and the winner was Kroger (defeating several […]
Yesterday, Obama confused conservatives everywhere by announcing that he will not be spending any taxpayer money for his campaign, instead using private donations. Conservatives immediately attacked Obama, not realizing that they are ironically attacking him for doing exactly those things that they claim to love. Next thing you know, conservatives will be telling us that […]
