This is from an email authored by Sarah Palin that CBS has obtained: “That’s not part of their platform and he was only a ‘member’ bc independent alaskans too often check that ‘Alaska Independent’ box on voter registrations thinking it just means non partisan,” Palin wrote. “He caught his error when changing our address and […]
Just go this: Sure he’ll pay it back, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he did it to begin with. While this asshole was out showboating over his rejection of the stimulus funds, he knew damn good and well that he was abusing taxpayers dollars. This guy is a major fraud and shouldn’t be […]
And wow are these files getting big. Our latest is SC GOP activist Rusty DePass, who decided say that an escaped gorilla was an ancestor of Michelle Obama’s: DePass did apologize, but that doesn’t excuse the hidden racism in this guy. To be able to make a knee jerk “joke” like this is telling of […]
Finally we are starting to see some accountability from the wasted adventure called Iraq: In what could turn out to be the greatest fraud in US history, American authorities have started to investigate the alleged role of senior military officers in the misuse of $125bn (£88bn) in a US -directed effort to reconstruct Iraq after […]

He was just on MSNBC saying how parents of special needs children will flock to Palin because of her son. Excuse me? Growing up with a special needs brother, I have one of those parents and she can’t stand Palin. I have also spend a lot of time working with special needs kids over the […]
John McCain is floating the idea of giving his speech from the “disaster zone” Gustav leaves. My God – the storm hasn’t even brought it’s fury and McCain is looking into ways to politicize it. And what the hell happened to the excuse after Katrina that Bush going down there would only hinder response? So […]
While John McCain goes out and touts his POW experience as an excuse to not remember how many homes he owns, Brandon Friedman of VetVoice reminds of us thousands of veterans who don’t have a single home, except maybe a cardboard box.
That’s the excuse the McCain campaign is using now for the housing gaffe: Eric Kleefeld notices that McCain aides referred back to McCain’s time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam in defending him from the mockery over his houses. This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years […]
