In California he may run for Chris Cox’s seat. No word on where to send donations targeted for the let’s make blogging really easy fund to elect B-1 Bob.
Todd Akin (R-Evilution land) and Pence (IN-R) are pushing Al Salvi to get into the 8th District Republican primary to ensure the district goes to a Republican who is conservative enough. Interestingly, Akin himself is facing a primary challenge by an African-American Republican from St. Charles, Sherman Parker. Spokesmen for Pence and Akin confirmed that […]
In the category of like he gives a rat’s ass: This will be interesting only to IL pols: IL Speaker of the House Michael Madigan was subpoenaed June 17 to give a deposition on what part he played, if any (ha), to stop the Illinois Choose Life license plate legislation last year. (Side note: Workers […]
And the rest of the story… Austin Mayor picked it up and Zorn gets the full text: After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Winston Churchill said that the American people?he said, the American people, he said, and this is a direct quote, ?We didn?t come this far because we are made of sugar candy.? That […]
Don’t ask–never should have left Colorado. I think my body was protecting me from the first Red Air Quality Day here in St. Louis by making my stomach revolt against food for 36 hours. Today, it’s 98 degrees of soupy air that I would swim in, but there’s no where to get a breath. On […]
Why isn’t there a strategic plan and fundraising document at the Democratic Commitment Conference ? The report Locked Out has some good points and such, but misses some critical points. And the above question points out the issue. When someone tells me they want money to win a bunch of Congressional seats, I want to […]
Nice On Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley– a fellow Democrat– added his voice to the chorus of criticism, saying, “I think it’s a disgrace to say that any man or woman in the military would act like that.” Yeah, like it was a disgrace when anyone said that about a certain Police Commander? Of course, […]
Most From TalkLeft: SJR: Yet just as America does not benefit from the reduction of political debate to partisan name-calling, it also does not benefit from the stifling of debate. The real message of Durbin’s statement – that we must investigate and stop inhumane treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo and other military prisons – is […]
Normally a fan of the Trib Editorial Page, this one got me We know what Durbin thinks about the treatment of Guantanamo prisoners. So what’s the proper treatment of our coverage-hungry senior senator when he displaces the ever-present microphone long enough to insert his foot in his mouth? Ignore him. That would be torture. Nice […]
The most odious of comparisons out there is comparing the situation from Trent Lott’s comments to Strom Thurmond to Durbin’s comments. I wrote the following over at Rich’s as well. ===Sen. Trent Lott had the decency to resign HIS party leadership position after he put his foot in his mouth. No matter how many times […]
Durbin was both stupid and wrong to compare the torture allegations to what we might hear out of Nazi Germany, the Khmer Rouge or the Soviet Gulags. He’s correct in a strict analogy that is where we expect to hear such horror stories, but the simple expanse of horrors under those regimes makes it a […]
A lot of attention focused on Lisa Madigan and the Govenor being about even in the recent poll by the Glengariff Group and then how Topinka faired against the Guv. But that’s not the news. Neither is Topinka’s being on top. The news is who is at the bottom and Rich Miller catches it. Gidwitz […]
It’s why the hell did I come back to this infernal city Ralph and I had a beer. I graded about 2000 AP Government tests. I had many more beers. Pray for our children and our future because studying sure as hell isn’t working.
